Do we need more Bat movies?

'The Batman'

Sure, why not...that or The Joker.

And supposedly Keaton & Affleck will be back due to Flashpoint, sadly no Bale nor Clooney.

 

[North_Sky]

Clooney is on vacation, and Bale is on transition.
Keaton is taking drum lessons, and Affleck you've just said it...'The Flash'.

I don't think it's a question of need.

If there's a potential market for it, then they'll keep on making version x of the stuff.

Same with all the King Arthur and the Holy Grail derivatives...

I would have answered no. But the trailer looks pretty cool. Dig the Nirvana tune, and everything else. As long as the movie is good and the trailer didn't contain all the good parts.

OTOH, I hated the latest Joker. Yuck. Why it got awards is a mystery to me. Waste of good talent.

There are enough bad movies so it's time for more bat movies!

 

[Alexanderc]

I think I would prefer this…

I don't mind another Batman movie, but I wish it wasn't just a reboot / origin story.

There are many great story arcs from the comics to be adapted.

I am one of those who are annoyed by the perpetual re-boot and re-telling of stories, which has become the modus operandi of the Marvel Universe, I find the best DC movies superior to the best of Marvel's aside from Black Panther which could sit in the pantheon of 5 best sci-fi movies of all time ... The Batman movies in particular have been from good to excellent ... thus I am waiting for this one...

P.S. Didn't want to waste my time on "Joker" either ..

Christopher Nolan's bat trilogy hammered the last nail in the coffin.
Any additional bat movies is only for fun ($$$).
And fun is what movies are all about...Terminators, Aliens, Preapdators, Speedo Man, Ant Man, Superman, Wonder Woman (WW), Cat Woman, ...

 

[Hemi-Demon]

Not sure I want another Bat movie without Bale or Nolan. I will stream it, but doubt I will go to the movies to watch Affleck.

More Bat movies?

I haven't seen all that have already been made, yet.

Wait till I catch up.

I hated the latest Joker.

I don't see how anyone could top the Heath Ledger Joker, ever.

How do super-heroes address the itch issues with masks?
I, for one suffer from that constant itch with masks and I have to wear these daily in my line of work ...

I thought Bale nailed Batman and made all the others look silly. It was hard to watch Affleck come after. I wasn't a fan of the 3rd Nolan Batman, but overall the trilogy renewed my interest and showed how a more realistic tone in the super hero movies could work well. Heath Ledger was fantastic as Joker. Would have been nice to see more of Bale and Ledger. RIP. Now that I think about it, the casting for all 3 movies was pretty spot on. Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Liam Neeson were perfect, imo.

Thanks for posting the trailer - It has me intrigued, which is more than I can say when I saw Affleck's trailer. I'm not familiar with Robert Pattinson's work, so will go into this with a pretty open mind. Jeffrey Wright seems like a good fit for Det. Gordon, which I thought Oldman ruined for anyone after him, but we'll see.

I'll add to that comment....we need bat movies in these covid times

 

[North_Sky]

But the new Batman might possess the antidote ...

Agree 100% with this. Especially because none of the reboots has truly gone in an interesting/different direction.

The only reboot I was kind of excited about was Darren Aronofsky's Batman: Year One, which got cancelled. In that version, Bruce Wayne was homeless, Alfred was an African-American man named "Little Al" who ran an auto repair shop, and the Batmobile was a beat-up old Lincoln Continental. Would have at least been a new spin on the whole thing.

Please no.

They needed an emo bat to market to the Twilight set...

The first Keaton and Bale movies were the best of the movies - ALL the rest have been utter garbage.

Adam West was the best.
