The Batman General News & Discussion Thread

Not just DC for me. Most excited I’ve been for a movie period. And I reached levels of...shaking while sitting in my seat during TDKR lol. I also have to blame that 70mm IMAX screen for that one though.

Call me a maverick if you must, but I'm reasonably excited for the film.

Yo, TDK 2008, was the first time i ever leaned forward in my seat due to immersion. Went on to see the movie 6 times in theaters.

Yup, same. That experience was insane, and I remember actually shaking too. Ever have it be so quiet in a theater you can hear a pin drop? That's how it was for my theater during the hostage tape scene.

And The Batman for me is easily the most excited I've been for a comic book movie since TDKR as well. It's gonna be really special.

 

[pr0xyt0xin]

Its funny, I love Batman Begins and TDK (TDKR was a step down imo, but still great). But comparing the vibes for Reeves-verse and Nolan-verse... it's almost as drastic as the difference between Nolan and Burton.

Not to say a difference in realism. That's not the point I'm making. But a difference in tone/intensity.

Truthfully it all comes down to that trailer for me. The Nirvana cover and the Riddler interpretation and Battinson's mercilessness and mental break... Reeves seems to have a lock on a story he wants to tell. But maybe I'm just hyping myself up.

I'm truly excited to see the story unfold. And hoping it goes well. Reeves is a phenomenal director. I really enjoy his work with PotA and Cloverfield. And Pattinson is young afterall. Maybe we get a really complex Batman series out of this. *crosses fingers*

Oh dude, YES. I remember it being that way too in my screening. It was legit uncomfortable, but in the best way. "LOOK. AT. ME." Dead silence from the audience. I actually get chills thinking about it.

haha same! It was like a combination of being terrified and yet couldn't make a sound. Everybody was just in awe at the magic we were witnessing on screen.

 

[DeadlyWest]

I was only 8 years old when I watched TDK in theatres and I still remember the absolute stillness from everyone during the truck chase with the batpod

I'd give a lot to go back to that day, but at my current age.

[HarveyHarris]

So maybe that guy wasn't full of it...

 

[OutOfBoose]

Edited frame from the last year trailer.

 

[Gothamsknight]

But even in the normal version of that image brightened, it looks like there's a reflection in front of Bruce

 

[Kane52630]

I guess there's one scene in The Batman we wont get...

 

[Mindreaper21]

It looks like Bruce is just opening a case or a bag where he keeps his suit. He’s either on the go or probably in a part of the Batcave where he keeps it.

 

[shauner111]

It’s either the batcave or in church. But it’s not some workout room. It’s clearly a prep room of sorts.

 

[TheVileOne]

I can't even tell what's going on there. Looks like Robert Pattinson's chin in some sort of Saw movie.

 

[cryptic name]

In trailer that shot looks like him pounding on that glass with the cowl at his feet. My thought seeing it then was Bruce possibly was in some kind of trap, a scenario similar to the Cape and Cowl Conspiracy episode of the animated series

 

[Marvel united]

I have a feeling this version of Bruce will be mentally unhinged, possibly on the verge of mental illness. I could see Pattinson wanting to push it as far as possible

[TheSmoothKnight]

@warnerbrosfr

[Gothamsknight]

Are we getting new images or?

 

[TheSmoothKnight]

Reading more into it, look like they did release some new pictures of The Batman at the French Convention.

 

[TheSmoothKnight]

False alarm lol

 

[Boom]

I guess there's one scene in The Batman we wont get...

I'm screaming.
