Is WB planning a standalone Batman flick in the next couple years?

Presumably they could always cancel Aquaman or Cyborg in favor of MoS2/Batman.

 

[nubbe]

False God?

 

[Alienous]

So we're going to get this beefy, end of career Batman for the Justice League films? It feels like this kind of Batman would be way too far past creating contingency plans, entertaining meetings in a space watchtower and fighting aliens.

I feel like Snyder decided to say "Fuck you" to actual planning and seed sewing just so that he could make a DKR film. Like, I'm sure of it. He saw his opportunity and took it, and maybe is willing to grit his teeth on two Justice League films for it.

I mean, I'm glad for DKR fans, and all, but man if I'm not worried.

They probably should cancel Cyborg, because fuck Cyborg.

 

[The Smoking Bun]

I really hope POTENTIAL MAJOR SPOILERS

Spoiler

Batgirl is in a coma and Bruce tries to visit every day but it's so goddamn hard and he just breaks down in front of her and says stuff like, "I'm so sorry Jim, I couldn't save your little girl!" and it's alll sssooooo saaaaadddd but also uber hardcore and mature and stuff because we're not kiddy Marvel

Oh yeah! I just remembered,

Spoiler

Jim Gordon is dead too! We're in Game Of Thrones territory here!

Batman is kind of a jerk.

You mean hardcore and badass. This ain't no pansy Adam West Batman.... this is THE GODDAMN BATMAN!

 

[Monocle]

Batman is kind of a jerk.

 

[Imperial]

That's unfortunate. I wanted to see a solo Batflick that was a bit more cerebral starring an older, bitter Batman. You know, see Riddler or something.

Presumably they could always cancel Aquaman or Cyborg in favor of MoS2/Batman.

That's true, things could change. I'm sure Batfleck will get adequate screen-time in BvS and the Justice League films though. And if the Riddler easter egg in this teaser trailer is anything to go by, we may see him in the not-so-distant future anyway!

 

[Blastoise]

Ben looked massive in Gone Girl, and he's looking big AF in BvS.

Fucking Hollywood and their #UnrealisticSwoleStandards.

 

[flaxknuckles]

They probably should cancel Cyborg, because fuck Cyborg.

Cyborg and Shazam need to go the hell away so we can get more Asshole Batman films and Man of Steel 2 already. And DC should just make Green Lantern John Stewart so they can still have their token black character and put Cyborg back in Teen Titans like he belongs (and give him his cartoon personality back).

 

[- J - D -]

Yeah, because that's what happens when you drop something, which he does there. He 'drops himself' which is why his landing has such an impact.

Reminds me of Routh Supes doing his dramatic landing on kryptonite island. That always looked goofy to me.

 

[Mariolee]

False God?

I really hate how obviously CG this is, and I don't have high hopes it'll look any more realistic when the film comes out.

 

[Game4life]

Superman is showing his force and authority by dropping down hard. Nothing more to it.

It is one year away come on!

Holy shit if you've seen spoilers on set pics, put it in spoiler tags you unbelievable dickheads.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

at least we get to see Batman in the first Justice League Movie, no ?

 

[beyond_death]

I really hate how obviously CG this is, and I don't have high hopes it'll look any more realistic when the film comes out.

I think I've seen a set pic where they actually built the statue.

You've seen Daredevil? Marvel can do sad and mature. With excellence.

I doubt Zack Snyder is going to measure up against that.

I LOVED Netflix's DareDevil however the popular consensus still maintains that Marvel is kiddy
Affleck will probably write a great story but that won't necessarily save the movie

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Seeing it in good quality...This movie looks like it has great potential.


Pls be gud

 

[Cade]

Well, it's rumored that Jenna Malone will

play Carrie Kelly, the newest Robin.

I keep forgetting about this entirely. Could be good.

In terms of character? No. It won't hit Daredevil. But no MCU film comes close to Daredevil in terms of characters or writing or quality villains either.

 

[Kagutaba]

I loved it too (especially the first half) ... and, yeah, it's a big departure from the rest of MCU for sure.

Foggy confronting Matt with his secret identity was amazing. Foggy felt so hurt

Is Affleck writing? Huh - didn't know that, interesting.

 

[unholyrevenger72]

This definitely doesn't seem like a stealthy ninja batman based on the suit. More like military ass kicking bro.

Batman + Xenomorph= Batfleck

that will probably not even be in the movie and was just used for the trailer.

 

[Finaika]

They should've used CGI to make it look more real.

 

[Mariolee]

It is one year away come on!

I'm sure it'll look better, but I just wonder why they didn't use a shot of an actual statue.

That statue is not CGI. It's actually real.

Really? I'm going to need some proof. I have seen the set pics where it was built (albeit without the head) but here it looks completely fake. Am I going crazy?

I think I've seen a set pic where they actually built the statue.

I've seen the set pic too, but this cannot be the same one.

that will probably not even be in the movie and was just used for the trailer.

I sure hope not. I like what they're going for with the "False God" thing here. I just wish it looked better.

 

[Error]

it doesn't bother me that much, it's just a quick 2 seconds shot. :shrugs

 

[cyberheater]

Trailer looks crap.

 

[Shaanyboi]

No, his writer from Argo is doing the script - Chris Terrio.

 

[sweetvar26]

Trailer is intriguing but my god that background score by Zimmer!

Is Affleck writing? Huh - didn't know that, interesting.

Wait, Affleck is writing Batman? Who's directing it?

EDIT: Posted above, nevermind.

 

[ninjabat]

The stand-alone batman and superman movies are coming before 2020. WB will most likely do something where they announce the dates at comic con.


And, in a massive expansion of the
Studio’s DC Entertainment-branded
content, Warner Bros. Pictures and
New Line Cinema will release a slate
of at least 10 movies—as well as
stand-alone Batman and Superman
films—from 2016 through 2020 that
expands this prized universe of
characters

Aso lol at the concerns over the statue. if you have seen the set pics why worry whether its real? Just looking for something to complain about.

 

[Nibel]

Complain about CG effects in a movie that is not coming out for a year, brehs

 

[Psykoboy2]

Spoiler

I guess a way we can see Dick Grayson in the DCCU is through flash backs and future Batman solo films that are set before BvS.
Still such a huge bummer if they really established his death in the present day of DCCU.

I'd hold off on that for now. They haven't established shit yet as far as that spoiler is concerned.

Spoiler

Unless we see a shot in the film that shows that gravestone, and I mean an intentional shot of it where you can tell they wanted you to know it happened, then I'll buy it. But right now, it's just a set photo and we have no idea what they will show of it in the film. He's still alive in the DCCU until we know they didn't cut a shot of that marker out of the film.

 

[Froli]

I like the Batsuit for what's been shown so far. Affleck looks like a power house in that outfit. Overall the trailer was okay

I'm just not interested in superman in this movie universe.. On the otherhand, I hope affleck nails bruce/batman's characterization.

 

[- J - D -]

Superman is showing his force and authority by dropping down hard. Nothing more to it.

No I understand the motivation. I just wasn't a fan of how it was done in Supes Returns.

 

[Xater]

Cyborg and Shazam need to go the hell away so we can get more Asshole Batman films and Man of Steel 2 already. And DC should just make Green Lantern John Stewart so they can still have their token black character and put Cyborg back in Teen Titans like he belongs (and give him his cartoon personality back).

I...I agree with all of this.

Well maybe not with the Man of Steel 2 part because the first one was trash and Supes is lame.

 

[strafer]

I just watched TDKR again last night and Bane would fit well in this universe.

 

[Pritchardo]

Trailer looks crap.

 

[sweetvar26]

Looks like the fucking devil coming to get you.

Best looking Batman in Live Action confirmed.

Back when Batman Begins came out, I thought he was the best looking ones but I think for me, this beats that, at least from what I've seen so far.

 

[Toa TAK]

That False God shot with the weird perspective and tracking reminded me of SuckerPunch and 300 way too much. Im counting on Affleck to say something like "You know Zack, id do this part THIS way.." every once in a while, after Daredevil he is probably commited to this not sucking.

Feeling the same way, though this is probably due to his cinematographer coming back who did those movies.

 

[JimiNutz]

Batman looks absolutely amazing but the rest of the trailer is pretty boring and uneventful.

Man of Steel was one if the worst films I've seen at the cinema in the past 10 years so this is going to have to be absolutely exceptional to get my interest.

Hopefully the full trailer is better whenever that finally is shown.

 

[bud]

batman looks very cool, but that suit is so bulky that it doesn't look practical anymore.

"Zaga-zaga-zaga Super Jerk!!"

 

[Sadist]

Yeah, Batfleck looks like a boss. Very Dark Knight Return-ish, I like it.

Still cautious though. I'm not that much of a Snyder fan and I allready forgot most of Man of Steel.

 

[Alienous]

I've never been a fan of bulky Batman, IMO. As an end-of-career Batman it kind of works, but as a ninja dude... eh.

I'm having a hard time imagining Affleck's Batman running, for instance.

 

[strafer]

So I'm reading about a Robin easter egg in the trailer, but where exactly?

Batman doesn't run. Criminals run and they run like fuck because Batman is a beast and he will destroy them.
