Wasn’t too interested in a Penguin show despite loving the portrayal in The Batman, but will watch anything Milioti is in
Pattinson maybe wasn’t the best Bruce Wayne, but thought he was a really strong Batman. I still thought this movie was really really well done and I enjoyed the hybrid hero/serial killer vs detective/coming of age element of this movie. They did a great job making the subject matter dark. Wish a continuation of the Batman story with this cast would be next before involving anything DC and have a solid foundation. I really enjoy the closer to realism that is Batman than the more extreme aliens and super powers stuff personally.
Agreed. I can’t say I would love this direction. Batman is a character that can work so well both in the “real” world and in a world with aliens and magic and whatnot. I think Pattinson’s version would feel off in a universe with Darkseid and Lobo but hey I could be wrong. James Gunn definitely knows better than I haha.
I think if they make The Batman the first DCU film and base their universe around that film, opposed to forcing the Batman to fit into the DCU, then it would work. Similar to how Iron Man 1 started the MCU and was more grounded than say Thor.
