in keeping with current trends in hollywood and its PC dominated brain trusts

the new batman will instead be renamed as the caped crusader and the actor will have to be played by a black woman, preferable a black lesbian woman


This is a trend in hollywood?

Link?

Batman is far and away my favorite superhero. Elba has the range to play both Bruce and Batman. Only a retard would dismiss it.


As he is mine for as long as I can remember. Label me as a retard all you want but I’ll dismiss it. Only in instances where they’d want to cast someone like Isaac would I side with your view.

Make Batwoman black, no one will care.

Appropriating Bruce to appease SJW is almost as asinine as people clamoring for Ariel to be played by Zendaya.

Same, and I love Batman.

Honestly they should shake things up and do a non Bruce Wayne Batman. A live action Batman Beyond would be awesome.

shite, I would be all in if they brought Nolan back in and picked up where TDKR left off

Back before they royally fricked up the DCEU, I wanted them to cast Armie Hammer as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

BUT BATMAN'S WHITE. Does that not matter anymore? I'm not at all trying to be racist.... but can you imagine the outrage if they'd have picked a white actor to play Cyborg or Black Panther or Storm? They are black super heroes, so the actor sorta needs to be black. Batman is white, so the actor sorta needs to be white.

Affleck got shafted imo, he made 2 movies with Zack Synder.

If Batman doesn’t get to be in Gotham City and his rogues at all before moving outward to the larger DCEU, you’re not telling the story right.

Batman had a car chase scene with Joker and Harley Quinn, an alleyway showdown with Deadshot and a battle with Zsaz (?) not a real arc at all.

Why do they feel the need to make ANOTHER Batman?


Because Batman is one of the best comic book characters of all time with a huge fan base and the only property from DC Films that hasn't completely sucked arse.

frick the Justice League and the DCEU. Just make great standalone movies from the heroes for a while.

Batman himself lends to a great Universe. Batman, Batman and Robin, Grayson becomes Nightwing, Jason Todd as Robin , Tim Drake as Robin, Batman Beyond, etc.... each get their own movie. He has some fantastic villains as well. Joker, two face, scarecrow, clay face, Ras, freeze, ivy, bane, strange, red hood, etc...

You could make a multi movie universe out of just Batman.

That's pretty close to what they're doing. The Batman, SS, Birds of Prey, Joker, and they're supposed to be doing a nightwing and gotham city sirens down the road.

The whole DC movie universe blows. I haven't seen Aquaman, but the third act of Wonder Woman sucked.

I no longer care for anymore Batman movies. I understand Batman along with Superman is one of the most popular if not the most popular comic book character from both Marvel/DC combined. But I am fatigued of Batman. I really enjoyed the Aquaman and Wonder Woman movies. I want DC to focus on some other characters now.

Give me a flash movie. Give me a Green Lantern movie that doesnt suck. Give me a Teen Titans movie. Give me a Martian Manhunter movie, etc.

I once read, some years ago, that the number one requirement to play Batman in Hollywood is that he must have great lips.

shite you not. I forget if it was Tim Burton or who it was who said it ... but think about it.

1) I really thought Ben Affleck was a terrible choice when it was announced. But he did a really good job.

2) I could go another decade without a Batman movie. Just let it breath DC.

3) Surprised no one said Tom Hardy. Although I’m not sure how that would work. How about Penn Badgley if he could buff up?
