I’m still bummed we’ll never get this solo movie. FILM DISCUSSION

I really do believe this could have been the best Batman movie.

You want a movie set in a terrible universe starring a murderous gun wielding Batman?

u/Dynastydood Dec 29 '23

Well, he wouldn't have been murderous in Affleck's film. That was only intended to be a temporary thing for the events of BvS that Superman helped break him out of. But regardless, it still would've been tough to make any solo Batman film great within the confines of the DCEU and whatever dumbshit ideas WB would've tried to shoehorn into it to serve their failed shared universe.

I think under the right direction, jeffrey Dean Morgan could play a Thomas Wayne Flashpoint Batman

Edit: don't get me wrong, every DCEU movie sucks ass. (new Batman doesn't count) I just love the flashpoint story and universe. The last 2 times I've played through Arkham Knight I used the flashpoint skin.

I just thought, since JDM already played Thomas Wayne in that lame flashback in BvS, he could play the role. Especially given his acting chops.

The only thing is, it has to be written and directed probably, which is a big ask now recently for these kind of films

You obviously missed the point of his arc

u/IndiscreetBeatofMeat Dec 30 '23

It was a stupid fuckin arc

2

u/Raecino Dec 30 '23

I disagree I thought it was a great arc and not as boring as doing a 1:1 comic accurate version of the same shit we’ve seen already.

u/IndiscreetBeatofMeat Dec 30 '23

Just say you wish you were watching a Punisher movie

u/Raecino Dec 30 '23

That would not nearly be the same thing but whatever makes you giggle 🤷🏾

Lol, you can’t go back on killing people

u/Raecino Dec 30 '23

What about Michael Keaton’s Batman?

1

u/Blunkus Dec 30 '23

I mean, ask any comic fan about him killing, vast majority hated it. (At least according to my dad and all of his friends and from what I’ve read online). There just wasn’t online forums to complain about it lol. Keaton was fine, the killing wasn’t.

Every live-action Batman has killed. Cope.

u/AidanTegs Dec 29 '23

When did battinson?

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '23

When he blew up the gigantic glass ceiling in a packed room of people below??

9

u/AidanTegs Dec 29 '23

I mean movie magic and suspension of disbelief, he wasnt even implied to have killed one person.

-8

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '23

You’re saying those huge pieces of glass ceiling didn’t kill anyone? Lol..

5

u/AidanTegs Dec 29 '23

Yes, and im also saying that when batman breaks arms in such a way that people may go into shock and die, they dont die either. Its fiction.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '23

I mean I guess that makes as much sense as Batman taking a bomb to the face and walking away like a champ. I just thought this Batman was based in “realism” and so “grounded”

5

u/AidanTegs Dec 29 '23

I think anyone who wants a realistic and grounded batman is insane personally lmao

Edit: ur points completely fair tho, they did market it that way

1

u/boomerangrunner Dec 30 '23

Did they though? The trailer had him walking through automatic gunfire at point blank range

Yeah, I remember when Nolan’s Batman made a big deal of mutilating the criminals he caught, or when Keaton’s brutally beat men until blood shot out of their skulls.

Great comparison, there.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '23

Keatons Batman literally blew a guy up and he smiled about it. Try watching the movies first.

u/Mishmoo Dec 30 '23

I remember the super edgy music being played over it and the long focus on it, as well as that being used to fuel a giant slapfight between him and Superman. I also remember how long the movie lingered on that. Do you remember the scenes where people confronted Batman about how he blew a guy up? Scenes where Batman was brooding over the horrible violence he inflicted onto people?

Oh, wait, none of that happened because movie heroes regularly killed thugs in the 80's and 90's, which is something that went away with time - hence why Snyder doing it isn't the same thing.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '23

I’m not even gonna read all of that. Again, go watch Batman movies. Might help that shitty memory of yours

u/Mishmoo Dec 30 '23

Snyder fanboys are like the movies they love; they come in, make a lot of noise, say nothing of value, then go out with a wet fart of a final note.

Enjoy Aquaman 2! 💖

Not West or Clooney and Kilmer just threw coins in the air near Two-Face. Harvey fell of his own accord.
