Has it? Whats the date on the grave?

I have a hard time making it out. Something like 1992 to 2000? I'm very sure about the 2000 part. Which makes
Dick
eight years old? Welp. ): Honestly think I just can't read the 1992 part properly.
 
I hope the movie is as good as the trailer, because that trailer was fantastic.

I'm confident in this movie because Chris Terrio wrote it.

It's not like 300 and Sucker Punch where Zack Snyder wrote it.

Or like Man of Steel where David Goyer wrote all of it.
Snyder is definitely involved with the script but he isn't the one putting the words on paper.
 
If I have to be honest I don't like Amy Adams' Lois. She seems very bland to me

Yeah, I pretty much look at her as being sassy and sarcastic, and Amy doesn't really come across like that here. Really liked Erica Durance as her on Smallville, and whilst I like Amy Adams she hasn't come across as Lois to me. Actually I thought when she played Amelia Earhart in Night at the Museum 2 was more closer to Lois than when she actually is supposed to be Lois in Man of Steel.
 
Remember when people were complaining about his casting?

I always thought he'd be a good fit but it's kinda crazy how dead on it is, it's straight up batman stare leaking out of Bruce face.

that to live action.

Probably gonna end up there with Jackman and Downey as the definitve look for their respective character.
 
Not read through the thread so sorry if this has been brought up but what is with the black in this trailer? It is a very dark grey at best and watching on a tv its very noticeable as the black bars are even grey!
 
I think it's cool that they're making a big deal about the destruction in Metropolis, but at the same time it's hard to see it as anything other than responding to the ridiculous internet complaints.
 
Ben Affleck has the kind of face that fits like 90% of white male superheroes.

Kudos to him and casting director, I guess.

The structure of his face does most of the work but there's a real strong batman glare happening that needs chops to pull off without coming off looking like some pretend hardass.

I love the Ben casting, but those comparisons are not really apt when no other actors have played those characters in live action before. I understand your point though.
 
If Warner/DC wants to build a 10-20 year cinematic universe, it doesn't make a lot of sense to introduce a Batman that is already really long in the tooth.....though to be honest I do really like the idea of Superman bringing a retired Bats back into the fray.

This is really my biggest problem with all of this. A shared continuity DC Universe is a dream come true but to finally have it-and have Bruce be in his 40s, with Robin dead, and a tattooed, grilled Joker. Why can't we just have the "ideal" version, and then see these "Elseworld" stories later.

There's also a rumor about Commisomer Gordon that I read might be true as well....

Well, with a lot of DC superheroes, the elseworld stories ARE most readers' ideal versions. They're definitely the ones that get recommended first and bought the most.

If you want milquetoast comic replicas, there is a company out there doing that. we don't need another.

Well yes that's a good point. But it seems like a wasted opportunity when creating this shared universe to eliminate some stories right off the bat.

Spot on reading comprehension there, kid.
 
Possible spoilers regarding Robin:

Someone on another board pointed out that the pics of the tombstone with Dicks name on it could be a production gag as it looks like it belongs in the Wayne funeral scene. I hope thats the case. I'd rather Dick not be mentioned at all than have him confirmed to be dead. Pls Snyder.

It could also be from the
dream sequence
 
It'll be so sad if the first (and potentially only) Robin we get to see in these movies is Carrie Kelly. I almost would prefer Damian. :/
 
In all seriousness there are a number of ways of doing a story featuring Robin while keeping it mature. It doesn't need to be Adam West or Batman & Robin. Robin has worked fine for years in comics.

Robin even managed to crippled TAS. The moment he appeared the whole show took a nosedive.

Robins just suck. THe whole idea of Batman taking kids with him into the field immiedietely destroys any seriousness the story can have and puts it right into camp territory.
Robins become interesting only after they retire those personas and move to become their own heroes.

Could be a potential mislead too.


I remember during the production of TDKR (spoiler tagged since the nature of the scene implies the one above)
they had Christian Bale show up to his own funeral scene and and the name on the grave was Miranda Tate, not Wayne's - it was only switched in post. All that just to avoid accurate spy shots.

Then again, I wouldn't image going through all that trouble for a Robin.

Would you be okay with Bruce adopting a kid but they don't become a superhero until they're an adult? I always thought that might be how they would do it in the movies.
 
If Malone is playing Carrie Kelly, she's not exactly a "kid" though. She'd be a late-teens/early 20s sidekick.

I think she'd make a perfect a Oracle. Especially like the one portrayed in Arkham Knight. Then again , that means eliminating Batgirl from these films which irks me too.

I think the timejump we're dealing with eliminates a lot of the Batfamily. We're 10 years past him having already quit. Or at LEAST 10 years. Maybe more.
 
If the place shown at 00.53 mark was the batcave, then maybe the batcave is inspired by Grant Morrison's Batman run.

Notice that in the right picture there is water in the bottom, and a set of stairs on the right side, that may lead to upper levels.

I mean, come on. That has to bother more people.

I love this Batcave.

This would be so disappointing if true. Then again, I can't imagine too many of the Batfamily showing up in the currently announced slate anyway (aside from the standalone Bats movie).

Uh, in episode two? Christmas with the Joker? Or does that not count somehow, even though it's one of the more famous episodes?

What's so bad about Dick in the animated series? He's in an episode here and there and never seemed like a painful show stopper to me. Can't speak for Tim in season four because I haven't watched those in ages.

I mean...I think sometimes people just hate on Robin just to hate on Robin, an identity that has been taken by five different people (not including the Miller version, which makes it six) and been written about for decades. There isn't one redeemable story out there with a Robin in it? Not one?
 
why are people so concerned about illegal aliens. wouldn't it be more important that aliens are here. unless there's a legal process for aliens to stay on earth? i dunno i guess comics.

I just wonder if DC's gonna introduce legacy characters to take up mantles when these actors get too old or just reboot everything. They should eek as much as they can out of this cast and give the universe an ending and reboot to me because Batman and The Flash are the only supes with good successors.

It's America so those people probably think he's from Mexico since he's an alien.

Damien's entire storyline is great.

I was thinks that they might show some of the Batfamily in flashbacks. For example, in the first batman movie, it could introduce Damien, and have flashbacks to Bruce and Talia and introduce Rhas plus the Lazarus pit.

Second movie is Red Hood with flashbacks to Jason Todd as robin, and then we see batgirl, etc before she became injured.

Then third movie is Joker with more Oracle flashbacks, Killing Joke, etc.
