The Batman (Matt Reeves, March 4, 2022) Movie • Page 29

I hate how they thought a shared universe meant shared all the time. Each character's own films don't need to have cameos, overarching themes, etc. It just makes it easier to handle all the characters if we know who they are and where theyve come from when they DO come together.

 

I think the idea of like an event mini series in film with full crossovers of characters could be really awesome, if that's what you set out to do. I think Snyder had an idea for say like a 5 film series and then that's it. but on top of that WB wanted to build their own MCU style. that's two vastly different approaches.

I personally am happier right now to have just the focus be on characters individual films. get great directors to come in and make their vision. get weird with it, whatever.

 

I liked the idea of characters randomly showing up, like Batman in Suicide Squad and Falcon in the first Ant Man, but I get how if it's not done right how it can get weird.

 

YEah that is cool, but it doesn’t need to be central to the story to work.

 

Some rumored names 'leaked' -- take with a grain of salt.

• Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Godzilla)
• Alexander Ludwig (Vikings, The Hunger Games)
• Jack O’Connell (Godless)
• Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction, Midsommar)
• Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: Dark Phoenix)

 

YES. if true O'Connell please

 

I'm starting the rumor that I am also on the short list.

 

I really like Jack Reynor.

 

I don’t find any of those names particularly exciting, outside of Hoult, who is an interesting idea.

 

Golden Globe Winner Aaron Taylor-Johnon

 

What!?

 

Outside of Nocturnal Animals, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a fuckin' snooze. Dude has the charisma of a plastic bag filled with milk.

I don't know Jack Reynor, but that list is very underwhelming

 

Is this movie going to be a one-off, or another start to a series?

 

If true they're going for a way younger Batman than I expected or wanted.

 

Coach as Batman and Saracen, Riggins, Landry, and Smash as his Robins.

 

You need to go watch Sing Street tonight. You should not watch another movie until you've seen that one.

 

And exactly what I wanted ... heh.

 

If I have to choose, only like ATJ out of those.

 

I'd rather have Jake Gyllenhaal, Armie Hammer, or even Robert Pattinson than anyone on that list. I'm not too worried about the casting though because I'm sure whoever they pick will be good. I'm just excited for a new Batman movie.

 

I don't have strong feelings about that rumored list. Either way,

 

I will say this, that list looks a lot better to me if they're actually trying to cast Dick Grayson in a movie where he takes on the mantle of Batman.

 

There is no Batman shortlist quite yet for the Matt Reeves movie

 

Guess RPatt is out for sure with the announcement that he is doing the new Nolan movie. I was actually really warming up to the idea of him as Bruce.

 

yeah he was my favorite of the rumored to be honest. though I still like Armie Hammer or Oscar Isaac even though both are probably out of the current age range they are supposedly looking at
