He's just brooding like Batman is often depicted. Difference between emo and brooding is the latter can still take a motherfucker down. Emo kids are too pathetic to be physically threatening.
 
i love how gordon looks/feels

i love the voice

i LOVE the batmobile

that beatdown has so much weight to it and i love that too

it's like pattinson made a character who has a shit ton of aggression bottled up and then he unleashes it on scumbags

Yes, the Batman who looks like Batman and actually got to have a badass action scene unlike all the other Batman movies.

As a lifetime Batman fan I wasn't thrilled about his personality and him killing people all things said, but at least he looked cool and got to be badass.

Everything about this looks terrible to me. It could be good but what I've seen and read doesn't fill me with confidence.

What a shit take. Trailer looks phenomenal.

So basically Batman.
 
Batfleck was the kind of Batman you get when a dumb person thinks he’s smart, and tries to interpret a really famous storyline, but does a bad job of it because he is dumb. Zack Snyder is a bit of a thickie, and didn’t really understand The Dark Knight Returns, or Batman.

Reeves, like Nolan, is smart... and will give us a good Batman again.

Everyone who says this type of stuff about Snyder... like he's pretentious... usually come off as pretentious to me, like you think you have it figured out and are above Snyder but really he's a lot smarter than you give him credit for, and probably smarter than you. When he started talking about Justice League being like the Knights of the Round Table and Campbell's Heroe's Journey it helped solidify he knew more than any of his detractors about mythic storytelling, assuming his detractors even care about mythic storytelling and don't just want safe, palatable quippy garbage or whatever else. His films are almost all masterpieces. You'll get no quarter from me in arguments about Zack Snyder.

Honestly? I'm sick and tired of Batman. Wish DC/Warner would give more spotlight to other heroes. Give me a new Shazam movie or something.

But I think the trailer looks good, and Pattison is a interesting choice. It looks way more grounded than anything Christopher Nolan ever did and I'm curious to see how Matt Reeves handles the material.

I mean... they showed off a lot of other movies they're working on today...

Shazam: Fury of the Gods (the sequel) and Black Adam are coming back to back and just months apart.

Yeah only your opinions are the acceptable ones.

You can like a thing without denigrating someone else for not feeling the same. People get so damn defensive of this stuff like they're getting paid for it.

It could be a lower budget film, they wanted a more grounded neo-noir detective story but then I'd also say to wait for a second trailer, often the bigger money shots aren't in the first one.

Children these days think everything not showered in neon is emo.

Wanna know emo? This is emo.

Soak it in.

If you're ever unsure whether something is emo or not, observe the bangs. The bigger and wider the bangs, the more emo. Ideally the bangs cover the entire face.

Pattison has a visible forehead, so he's not emo. Also, he doesn't look like an idiot, another good sign he's not emo.

Ehhh.,... That's almost more of a glam rock than an emo.

I never thought Leonardo DiCaprio would be convincing for the more serious roles he got until I actually saw Blood Diamond. Despite him looking like a boy he proved he can be a versatile bad ass. I think Pattinson can deliver that too.

I just watched the trailer and thought to myself- does the world really need another re-interpretation of the batman story? Not really.

I'll give it a shot because I'm a fucking nerd, but so far I'm not really excited. Also, he's too skinny.

It needs a good Riddler movie.

He's style over substance to a lot of people, so that would qualify him as pretentious.

Was that a 'Sucker Punch' to you?

If I hadn’t seen some of this guys performances over the last several years I’d be like wtf, but he’s earned the benefit of the doubt with me.

I feel like most people references of what they think Batman should look, sound like comes from only Frank miller, older 90's runs like stuff from knightfall.

They are literally taking cues from Batman:year one, long Halloween storyline, looks, +new 52 Batman.

They are going for a very young Batman who is still trying to deal with the emotional impact of being in a city that gives no shit about his parents being murdered.

Hence why he seems full of rage when he beats the shit out of that thug, why he was getting into a fight with GPD officers.

He looks almost unhinged on the tipping point to almost killing someone by punching them to death.

Also tidbit the bat symbol on his chest is the gun that killed his parents. He molded it down into his suit he put together. Looks like he doesn't take care of himself, because he's literally obsessed with taking his fucked up baggage out on scumbags of Gotham.

I want to see his progression as a detective, and how he finds out his journey goes beyond vengeance on the underbelly of Gotham.

Fucking can't wait. Everything I live about Batman comics is literally in this.

Let's go!!!!

I think my only question is since they are doing a young batman like year one storyline, did Pattinson sign on for multi-film deal?

Anyone know?
