The Batman (Matt Reeves, March 4, 2022) Movie • Page 56

YES

 

rumors for who peter sarsgaard is playing?

 

Thomas Wayne

 

oooooh. saw dent too. would be fine with either, though i'd prefer to not see the shooting again

 

I really wanted Mac to get Dent lol shucks.

 

Given the nature of this story with all the villains present and the rumored Long Halloween inspiration, Dent is a natural fit for it. Could definitely see Sarsgaard playing Dent and getting set up to be Two-Face in the future. Seems like that Maggie Gyllenhaal Instagram post sort-of confirmed it too unless that was intentional misdirection.

 

Damn, didn't know it had started filming. Actually mildly excited about this haha

 

It looks like this film may not be set in the 90s after all.

 

??

 

The "Gotham Action News 4" vans that have been spotted also advertise a "HD Live" broadcast which points to The Batman being set in the mid to late 2000s at the earliest.

It was rumored for quite a while that this could be taking place in the 90s.

 

Nice catch. Shitty ass cars still lol just the ghetto then?

 

The original batmobile from the ‘89 film

 

Imagine we’ll be seeing the suit and/or Batmobile in the next couple/few weeks.

 

You can't hide the suit but it'll be cool if they don't show the batmobile at all before the movie

 

can imagine wb pressuring reeves to show both

 

Probably impossible this day and age with location shooting and the internet.

 

easy enough to avoid

...unless one of you dinks posts it here

 

Wait...they just started filming? I thought they’ve been filming?

 

I dunno, it’d be annoying to see the Batmobile as a toy before seeing the real thing, & it’d be foolish to not have a Batmobile toy in stores, ready to buy when the film comes out.

If we want maximum impact, an end of trailer reveal would be the best route to go.

 

I'm more surprised that they're starting to film this early actually considering how long we were getting casting updates

 

I've never had anything spoiled for me by a toy other than when people post a link here that I would voluntarily click. I really feel like it's easy to avoid spoilers if you aren't willingly looking for information, unless somebody is just being an asshole.

 

I'm sure that won't be the final logo but it gives me BTAS vibes, so that makes me excited

My favorite part of that post is Glyn Dillon, ‘cause I’m weird, lol. Love his art so much. Finally read his graphic novel The Nao of Brown the other day, which is gorgeous. He’s actually the artist who designed Kylo Ren’s mask, & also worked on Rogue One. (And, he’s the younger brother of the late comic book artist Steve Dillon.)
