I loved it, especially the first arc with the new Eradicator, the “moon batcave” and Lois donning that stupid Hellbat armor and going full mama bear mode on Eradicator. Mocking Snyder Batman and having wholesome family content? Massive W.
That's part of the reason that Jon was also disliked, basically a feeling that this random-ass kid character showing up out of nowhere and having unearned accolades heaped upon him. Not really unexpected that he ended up meeting a similar fate of irrelevance like every other attempt by DC to introduce a "Superman's child" character.
He is also doing a Sergeant Rock film for some reason.
Gay hipster is making movies of the gay hipster characters he likes because he hates the main ones, see Superman being used as a vehicle for the poofs. It’s also cause WB/DC knows about Supes and Bats going public domain in the near future, sure it won’t be everything at the start but it will hurt them. So they want Gunn to do what he did with the Guardians and take crap z-list garbage, then flip it into an asset.
this is unrelated to this mostly but I really want a noir batman movie with clayface as the villain exploring a seedy hollywood. like for whatever reason the DC Hollywood is in Gotham and Batman's investigating on studio backlogs and shit. I'd take one set now but I'd ideally want this to be 1940s and Batman dealing with a lot of that wild fucked up Hollywood Babylon shit of the golden age of movies trying to catch a shapeshifting killer actor.
That Clayface shit is such passive-aggressive faggotry, Matt Reeves clearly got told to make his Batman the “crime saga” and this is Gunn being a petulant child.
DC isn't cool enough to admit that he is Batman's best villain, so sadly probably never.
So who the hell is Reeves even allowed to use now. If all the fantastical characters are off the table, and he can't do an old-school Clayface, what does he even have?
Plus he makes a lot of people genuinely uncomfortable, and not in the good way
people all over the internet have been telling me I'm nuts for saying Gunn is forcing that with Reeves Batman and that's why we are getting something called the Crime Saga now and all the spin offs save penguin got canned and it went from Reeves wants to make 5/6 Batman movies to he's been and always has been doing just a trilogy and Batman II didn't have anything down no script at all despite pre writers strike it he just had to finish it he had it locked in. for like a year I've been saying this is exactly what's happening and everyone outside of here has been like no way Gunn is giving him free reign. No, Gunns boss told him Reeves has to continue with his thing and Gunn is constraining him to that box.
I've got to say, I don't have anywhere near the level of interest in all that I would expect myself to have. They've managed to sour me on most of it when once I'd have been quite interested to see all this. I greatly disliked the Peacekeeper show to the point I drop out in the 2nd or 3rd episode. I'm actively hostile to the idea of a 2nd season. Alan Tudyk is very talented and might be good as Clayface. Except that we've already had him as Clayface in the dreadful Harley Quinn show and Kiteman show. So now I'll just hear him going "STEEPHANNIIIEEEE!" when I hear his voice. Rogues without Flash is.... well, whatever. But you already pointed that out.
Good. For all that I really like Reeves's work, Pyg as a villain would actually stop me seeing the film. I dislike him and his schtick that much. I can just about stomach Strange, Pyg is several degrees beyond that.
I believe you. And it pisses me off. There's so little in modern film and TV that I actually find good these days. I've had a few arguments with people here over it but I haven't budged in liking Reeve's Batman a lot. Other than Catwoman coming out with some line about "White people", it was pretty much perfect. Reeves, to me, is someone who gets it. So I'd have been really eager to see his takes on some of the more fantastical villains like Freeze or Bane. I guarantee you Reeve's Bane would feel a lot more dangerous than the guy in the Nolan film.
Pyg is fine is very small doses. I think Arkham Knight had the right idea on how long to have him actually appear, hence why he is one of the more generally liked side missions.
Assuming they actually use Vic rather than his lesbian counterpart.
They really need to stop pushing Suicide Squad in general. I have no idea why WB and Gunn are so hellbent on this group. They have like 2 animated films that are okay at best, the rest is just garbage. Go after another weirdo group like Doom Patrol or Metal Men.
The Arnold Wesker version of the Ventriloquist could be possible option. You'll need to find the right actor to play the meek persona of Wesker.
Gunn’s connected, Reeves isn’t and that “Elseworld” branding was a death sentence for any project not in his fanfiction.
Got to disagree, The Batman cost $185–200 million to make, which is close to Wonder Woman 1984's budget and more than the first Aquaman and Wonder Woman movies. If I had to guess, would expect many of Gunn's projects to cost less than that, unless he really is going to make a $200+ million Swamp Thing movie which is just asking to bomb with a budget like that.
I think this “the animated movies are canon to the live action” is gay and retarded, it was dumb when Star Wars made you watch cartoons to understand live action shows and it’s so much dumber starting off a “universe” like this. Especially crap like “Creature Commandos” I genuinely have no idea what the fuck that is and I read the stupid funny books.
I think it's fine if it's just extra stuff for people who are really into it, but when it set up shit where you have to watch it to make sense, I agree.
