I'm happy he's not rushing. I think that lot of scripts are rushed into production nowadays and I want this sequel to be good

Is this going to be another Joker situation where the director had an incredible idea for a one-off movie… and then the studio asked him to make another one?
Hope not.
Hope not.

Whilst I enjoyed his Batman albeit what I could make out seeing as the entire film was drenched in MOODY DARKNESS I have absolutely no desire to ever rewatch it again not to mention I couldn't tell you one thing about the plot it was so memorable, whereas you stick on the opening 5mins of a Dark Knight and my ass is glued to the seat right to the end.. for the umpteenth time, I have no desire for a new Matt Reeves Batman

Let's see, we've got:
- No script.
- Gunn: "Batman's my biggest issue in all of DC right now."
- Unprovoked assurances that the sequel definitely isn't canceled.
Not looking good...

I think you need to move on at this point. It isn't anyone's fault, it he got sick or whatever.
So it should be full steam ahead on the next Batman movie. Personally, I would like to see them do sequels and then rest and reboot. Trilogies are not required in most cases.
Edit: so if the Gunn Batman is Brave and Bold, do that for two movies then move on to an older noir Batman or for the love of GOD…Batman Beyond.

Whole movie felt like they were winging it and relying entirely on vibes. Every time anything came up it was immediately solved, then insert a moody load of nothing, then on to the next scene to present the viewer with something else that will be resolved before we cut away. Every time a little momentum kicked up and it felt like something was gonna happen it just petered out like a wet fart. Whole thing was cinematic blue balls and I say that as someone who often loves slow, atmospheric movies that I can just settle into.
I was completely perplexed by the hype and positive response to it. Best thing it has going is cinematography that was seemingly constructed for the purpose of looking good in shrunk down screenshots on social media.
There's also Reeves' impressive feat of somehow getting Jeffrey Wright to be mediocre.

I remember just a little. There was the funeral scene where there was some terrorist attack or something... they showed the full scene weeks before the movie came out and honestly it was better as a standalone than it was situated in the film... there was... Lenny Kravitz's daughter bitching about White Privilege.... and... Colin Farrell Penguin saying something like "I got you.. I... got.. you..." I think when they were playing the Batmobile level.
Aside from that the Twilight Vampire brooded about doing 'detective work' but I don't think he ever actually solved anything and then the movie ended. I miss the days of Christian Bale yelling at people.
