Don't know. Could be used to introduce the character and have some easter egg villan like sasz in tdk.
Yep. I wanted him to be the villain in TDKR, back before we knew it was going to be Bane. I was hoping for a film with Batman on the run from both the cops and a new threat that seemed to know everything about him.
That UK TV spot is great, though it seems a little early (even Star Wars didn't start advertising heavily here until a couple of weeks before release). If only I actually watched anything on ITV to catch the advert breaks. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll show up when Sky starts showing Legends of Tomorrow or when Arrow and Flash return.

They wrote the treatment for The Flash movie, but they won't be able to write/direct it because of a few other projects (Han Solo movie, animated Spidey movie, among others).

It was during a showing of TDK, so they probably made an exception.
Ah, makes sense. That means I'll probably see it soon, given that ITV likes to show TDK every other week.
It's probably nothing, but in the latest trailer Senator Finch's clothes are different from the SDCC trailer.
Probably just another take they used, or do you guys think we have multiple hearings?
Bookends maybe. Start with the film with her and a hearing and end the film the same way?

1.
Red Hood - Joker as a minor villain.
. Catwoman already around, mostly partner at that point.
. League of Shadows around/exist. no major role in the 3+ solo movies.
. Joker not the big bad for at least the first 2.
2.
Ivy - Just have her as a throwaway getting captured in an intro and in a later movie go the Arkham Knight route with her.
3.
Hush
4.
Firefly - Intro scene villain, makes for a good one off action scene.
or part of a villain team.
Bane - not a big bad. Intro or team villain.
Shiva - not a big bad. team villain, LoS member or mentor role.
Clayface - not a big bad. team or intro scene.
Deadshot - intro or team villain.
Scarecrow - intro or team villain.
Deathstroke - team villain only.
Croc - intro or flashback villain.
Harley - intro or Ivy team villain.
Anarky - intro villain.
5.
Riddler - Major side role, preferably not a big bad(unless they feel Batman needs to show off a more mental prowess after BvS and JL.)
6.
Court of Owls
7.
Mr Freeze -can't see him being used as a big bad again, not a team up kinda villain. deserves better than an intro scene.
Two-Face - can't see him being used as a big bad, maybe a team up but a stretch. maybe an intro scene, and a bit late to still just be Harvey Dent.
(TDK just did Two-Face too well, better than Joker imo.)
Im hoping somehow the DCCU is established as an alternate Earth on the Flash series.
Be it one crossing over which already works for the tv series but would make an awesome after credits scene for a Flash movie(especially Flash being fun and light-hearted).
or they just rip Wells Reverse Flash and use him for the movies(no chance but I can dream.)
I can see why that might irk some people because it is such a departure from the source material but at the same time
Batman has much more experience and it makes more sense given the context of the EU.

Ideally that role is better suited for Wonder Woman. Leader of an Amazonian army. Well versed in battle strategy (way more than Bats given how long she's been around), most of Superman's power with none of his weaknesses or true weaknesses at all. Amd she can call on the aid of the Greek God's she has in her favor. Bats is underqualified.
Not to mention I can't see why a bunch of (essentially) gods would want a leader that can't relate to them at all. Batman, as capable as he is, is still just some asshole in a bat costume.

Coming from someone who just watched the show, I thought this is why they roundtabled. Because they each have valid qualities for decision making. Martian Manhunter seemes like the most authoritive person there, since he delegated all missions. Batman exists as an underling spefically so he can disobey commands.
True Tea. I agree.
Everything should a demorcary where every member vets a say, but idea should be started by Wonder Woman imo. Despite what happens Bruce is still a bit of a lone wolf who sees the need for the league but not being a really active member yet, and Superman being the public face but also a bit too busy. Give the lead to Wonder Woman like original JLA comics did. After that all the decisions are a bit more voting.

Never forget
I just love that moment, so unexpected

.Exactly. Every member of the League brings something different to the table, and they'd all make great leaders in their own right (albeit in different ways). It's their own differing views on humanity that makes their whole dynamic so interesting to me.

The one touch up I hope this suit eventually gets is maybe Lee's slightly squared off cowl of this design.
Hmm, you know never thought about who the leader of the League is.
Like would peg Manhunter since he was the most consistent member until the New 52.
But it seems to be mostly equals, but the Trinity is held in high-regards
Like one of the reboots where they literally sat around the Batcave voting on members

Fatman too lazy to even order Alfred to keep his mansion from falling into ruin. Can not lead.
Wonder Woman gonna lead. I just think she's kinda hot.

On the villains for the solo Batman movies
1. Court of Owls
If they use the Court, they will show every aspect of Batman. Martial artist, detective, gadgets, interrogator. All of them in an excellent story.
2. Maybe Red Hood
3. Riddler and Deashot
On the league's leader
If by leader you mean the person who will decide the battle tactics of the league, then the leader should be Batman. If you mean a person who will decide absolutely everything, I would prefer the league to use a voting system or just talk about what they should do.

I still don't quite get why Batman gets that vote for battle tactics when Wondy can strategize circles around him. It almost feels like Diana is either completely forgotten about because she hasn't quite been in the spotlight like Superman and Batman have, or Batman gets voted because he's the "cool" one, or maybe because Wonder Woman is, well, a woman and people still have a hard time with that.
I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. More a general observation.

I have read Justice League stories with Wonder Woman in them, but I don't remember her strategizing. So, I don't know how much better than Batman she is. She's trained from Ares, though, so she has to be good.
She's currently the God of War. Don't get much more qualified than that, lol.
Because Batman is seen as a man that has no choice BUT to strategize whereas the heroes with powers just have to use their power strategically.
Which works out fine if he's got ample time but that still doesn't make him better at it than Diana. But if Darkseid shows up looking to start some shit he needs to keep his ass out of the way, lol. I'm really curious to see what BatFleck is doing during the Doomsday fight.

I'm sure Diana has a lot of combat expertise but Batman is usually the league's goto scientist (assuming it's not marston's take on WW or Barry Allen who's also a scientist) which goes into the battle plans.
But yeah it's usually about finding a way to make Batman useful.

Wonder Woman needs to be on the frontlines whilst Batman is strategizing and relaying orders across the League.
Its always fun when Batman confronts Darkseid whether it be in the comics or in an animated show.

Yep. Batman is the strategist. Wonder Woman is the general.

Maybe Mattel can break this out again so I can get one for a non-ridiculous price.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
DC just can't help but spoil the plot of this movie.
I don't even need to watch the movie anymore.

Plushes.
There is a decent amount of Aquaman toys here. Like Wonder Woman his role might not be as small as some people were assuming. Granted there is that Star Wars issue with Captain Phasma that could be a play but that's more of trying to recreate Boba Fett appeal and not sure that's worked. They were side characters and Aquaman is one of the major characters going forward.
Them noses
Also, I bet Warner is loving having two different versions of Batman to sell.
It could also be a case where Aquaman exists in costume in the movie so easy to make toys for him
Like when we see him, in full gear
