re: For those that have seen 'Superman', would Robert Pattinson's Batman work in that world?

The thing though is he only really interacted with Riddler (and Penguin) who are both not superpowered.

Don’t know if passion is up for TV roles but I’d love him to have a recurring role in The Penguin. Run the best comic book episodes featuring Penguin/Riddler…. There’s so much opportunity for a great series in that world

No, it doesn't work in its own world.

For the life of me I can't even understand why people like the Reeves/Pattinson Batman. It's just him being emo during an overlong movie where nothing happens for extended periods

---

The emo hate is just dumb, I'm sorry. "He's got black makeup all around his eyes like some emo kid blah blah blah." Reeves said he was trying to make it as real as possible when he got out of the suit. In previous Batman movies you'd have guys that were clearly wearing black makeup under the mask so you can't see their eyes and then they take their mask off and all of a sudden the black makeup is gone. It was simply a "this is what he'd actually look like when he took his mask off." He was going on a based in reality on as much as possible and that was just a minor detail, he wasn't going for an emo look.

I can see a too long gripe. I personally love long movie as long as the movie was good. I could have watched a 4 hour Batman movie as long as it kept me interested the whole time. Not sure what long periods of time where nothing happened was though. At least nothing is popping up in my mind.

Riddler is awful both in motivation and portrayal

---

If you're looking for motivation similar to a guy wanting to eliminate half the worlds population because he thinks it'll make it a better place and can travel to different universes, then you just tuned in to the wrong movie. That's not the type of bad guy you're going to get in any of these Batman movies.

His motivation was again, based more in reality. He was raised in Wayne Foundation orphanage with awful conditions. So he had animosity towards the Wayne family for his childhood and then he also got to see the contrast of Bruce being orphaned but raised completely opposite in luxury. So he targets Wayne and the elites. Him being able to gain these fringe followers of a crazy online community was one of the better and believable parts of the movie.

I do think the prison scene with Dano was definitely overacted and probably my least favorite part of the movie. It was like he was reenacting the church scene from There Will be Blood.

ridiculous w/how he instantly solves every riddle in ways that would make Arthur Conan Doyle roll his eyes.

I can see that. But honestly I always thought the Riddler's clues were actually a little too simple. Him solving the thumb print was pretty dumb though.

I also don't get why so many of you want Batman to always be brooding and mad at the world when in the comics he has many friends and is nowhere near perma depressed.

---

This was just the first movie. It's clear he's going to change. This movie wasn't about playboy Bruce Wayne Batman. He was solely a detective in this and didn't know how to be the playboy yet. That's going to come in the next film I'm sure.

I liked the Riddler in the Batman.

I see a lot of hate for the character/performance there… but I don’t see it. I thought he came off unhinged and weird, which is what I want in that character. Zero problems at all there.

what? Superman, Batman, Supergirl and Wonder Woman films won’t work? Peacemaker and Lanterns will be hits. Wonder Woman tv series will be interesting. Creature commandos is a cartoon. The only questionable ones are the Authority and maybe booster gold

Holy shite ton of assumptions Batman!

Kinda maybe I dunno frick it

There was a Gotham City road sign in the new Superman movie.

I didn't realize they were doing an Arkham Asylum show. Is that supposed to be an adaptation of Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, the Batman: Arkham Asylum video game, or something else?


I also didn't know a Swamp Thing movie was coming. I'm still pissed they canceled the series on the CW back in 2019. I liked how it leaned more horror
