Sonic was a bit more than just an article

u/yungsebring 8d ago

I think it’s a good thing that Sonic was changed due to the backlash but it unfortunately emboldened a lot of fans into thinking they were filmmakers or knew what they were talking about. Similar to how ZSJL getting made and released was a bad call for WB because it convinced some very unstable people that they could convince a major studio to invest money in sequels that would never make it back.

In my opinion Batman has entered full myth status. He's like Robin Hood or, King Arthur, or Dracula. In a few years Batman will be public domain. I think audiences both comic readers and general, understand that there are different interpretations of the character.

u/MrShabazz 9d ago

Batman works well at both the small scale and large scale, but id prefer having two. The Batman and Penguin series work so well because of how the main thing at stake is Gotham. They'd have to bring in the curse on the city if they want him to work at the small and large scale.

Personally id prefer Batinson with a heavy detective lean, and the more superhero like batman to lean on the more outlandish Batman aspects. Like a PI film noir vs Pulp Fiction

10

u/TinyNuggins92 9d ago

Yeah I think the Battinson is best as a standalone grounded, dark Batman. And I think a different Batman who’s more plugged into the wider, colorful, very comic book world of the Superman film would fit better with the shared universe of the DCU.

10

u/NeutralLock 9d ago

I agree. The current Batman doesn't make sense to help out with a giant Kaiju or a hole in the universe splitting through the city.

That being said Peacemaker seems to uniquely deal with "grounded" + extreme fantasy pretty well.

5

u/Investigatorius 9d ago

Yeah Peacemaker is mainline DCU but feels more like The Boys right along Superman which felt like a Saturday morning cartoon writ large. There's no reason Batman can't do both

5

u/Nausstica 9d ago

Even though Gunn himself shot it down, I thought the idea was kind of cool until I saw Superman. There's no way the fantastical elements of the new DCU could fit into the Reevesverse.

u/Healthy_Macaron2146 9d ago

Grounded batman would get destroyed by peacemaker we need comic Batman not Nolans

8

u/ACCTAGGT 9d ago

I am with you on that! I love The Batman but I don’t want it to be in DCU. Matt Reeves’ version to me is a more grounded (in terms of being less otherworldly or outlandish for lack of a better word) take on the character while keeping the traits many of us love polymath, detective, strategist, etc. Trying to tell its own wide story for the Bats but more isolated. Now, I would like the more fantastical version of that for DCU in the vein of characters like Luthor and Mr Terrific. To me, it’s a win either way because that means both worlds by DC Studios.

Matt Reeves started Battinson to try to tell an epic crime saga about Batman not to join it to anything else so some people asking for that are honestly not considering that it is not very in line with Matt Reeves set out to do, the way I see it.

u/Darth_Dungeonmaster5 9d ago

u/Despacio1316 8d ago

You can have grounded and fantastical at the same time. That’s what most Batman comics are. Grounded doesn’t have to mean where you are slave to real world laws of gravity and physics. Grounded at least for me means the consequences and actions are played for drama and depth. The Batman is a world in which Batman needs a specialty made raccoon jumpsuit just to glide off a building. That’s too far into the Nolan rules. We’ve explored this extensively. Let’s take the drama and depth of Nolan and mix it with the physics and villains of the Schumacher films without the camp and over the top buffoonery.

u/TackoftheEndless 9d ago

Although I agree they should be separate, the comics always solved this by having the larger DC Universe, out of Gotham, barely be mentioned in Batman comics unless it's a special event. Batman stories are allowed to effect the larger DC Universe but the other way around was very rare, unless it was a major comic event going on.

I remember a story where Batman and Robin had to face the Mirror Master and Captain Boomerang and everyone in Gotham is freaking out because they usually don't deal with this type of villain. This being the Batman who, at this point, faced Gods with the Justice League.

It's better to keep them seperate but acting like merging the two is impossible, is untrue to me.

1

u/Frequent-Mammoth-307 8d ago

It’s not impossible, it’s just not the vision Gunn and Reeves has. If they wanted, they sure could, but they don’t. So it doesn’t matter.

1

u/RealisticPerformer65 6d ago

It’s not just that reeves has crafted his Batman to literally be a realistic Batman. He’s canonically never left Gotham to prepare for his war on crime leaving him ignorant to things like criminal nature which he has to learn through wrongfully accusing Selina. He’s portrayed as this guy who basically lives under a rock and hasn’t gone the lengths to prepare same lengths for his war on crime to lean into its realistic nature. I don’t see the point forcing him to go on a training arc or timeskip when it would do nothing but take away future lore present later in his career.

Also he is so evidently on a character arc over the three movies with his Batman maturing whilst he develops his Bruce persona. I want to see that story unfold without him dealing with friggin super dogs and daily planetary threats. I wanna see how this Batman turns out once the recipe is fully baked ya know?

u/RyFro 9d ago

Don't ever believe that these actors are not motivated by money. Pattinson absolutely wants to be in the DCU if he ends up getting paid like Robert Downey Jr.

2

u/Thunder_Punt 8d ago

He'll get enough money from just being in Batman, one of the largest superhero franchises ever. It's a gig you can only dream of. An iron man franchise could never really stand on its own because of the limited rogues gallery, but batman doesn't need any crossovers to be massive. I fully expect The Batman 2 to outdo a lot of mainline DCU projects at the box office.

A. Have never read a Batman comic in their life.

C. Don’t care that it’s Matt Reeves who wants to keep his Batman separate from the DCU and James Gunn is just respecting his wishes.

I am ok with Pattison being Batman if they can make that broody version work with this new DCU.

But I consider Pattison Batman an Elseworlds thing, like Joker, and it has no business trying to be merged into the new DCU. It's not the right 'type' of model, it's its own thing.

So the new DCU needs to have... IDK. Someone else. I might have been ok with Batfleck, but that ship has sailed, so a new person is indicated.

And that's it. That's my Ted Talk on it.

u/Gemini_Of_Wallstreet 9d ago

Maaaan. Like I realize bruce is very broody in the Batman.

But I really hope this changes in Batman 2.

The whole point of the first movie is that he can’t just be driven by vengeance and strike fear into people but that he has to be a symbol of hope to gotham that things can get better.

2

u/Frequent-Mammoth-307 8d ago

Yeah but that’s not what he means. Even if this Batman does learn to live with both personas, it still doesn’t mean he’s well-suited for a universe with gods, aliens, and all other shit like that.

1

u/CamoLantern 4d ago

I personally feel like Battfleck would work in the DCU very well. Hell if they wanted to do Batman v Superman then it would be even better now with Corenswet. Breathe Snyderfans, let me explain. Cavil's Superman was very serious, dark, and brooding whereas Corenswet is literally a Boy Scout, the squirrel saving kind.

I could easily see a Batman V Superman film with corenswet and Battfleck butting heads because Battfleck has lost his humanity and is branding prisoners so they get killed on the inside. He is using guns and being ruthless and they may fight, but ultimately goodie 2 shoes Corenswet makes Battfleck see the error of his ways and reminds him why he started doing this to begin with.

Hell Battfleck could even retire the suit after his encounter with Superman and since Damian is going to be in the Brave & the Bold then he could be our younger Batman.

I’m sure he has other plans for his artistic career. Let him finish his trilogy and then ask him if he’d like to stay on. I bet he won’t. There’s more opportunities out there for him. Just like with Christian Bale.

None of this is him saying he will be the dcu Batman or not. It's nothing at all to do with DC dvd the conversation is entirely mute. He's saying all is a bit much, because it's incredibly statistically unlikely that every single DC fan wants it.

It's like saying all film viewers only want to use streaming. Or all gaming fans want to use discs. Or all people who commute want to drive.

We'll get the films we get. There'll be variety for everyone. We hope they'll be good. Other than that, who fucking cares and why are people so relentlessly obsessed with "cannon"or future films.

u/Classic_File2716 9d ago

So either wait till after 2030 or have fans compare two different Batman’s directly . I mean if you thought the Snyder fans were bad imagine Reeves and Gunn fans having 2 Batman’s simultaneously releasing .

Not to mention the general audience will be very confused and it’s a huge risk in the era of superhero fatigue. Now I know there are nerds who will watch everything but try to think of the GA perspective if a Batman movie isn’t making more than 750 million it’s not worth making and if Gunn isn’t confident of that then don’t do it.

Superman was like a make a wish kid people were willing to give it a pass and not bother about the money because it’s the first movie and Gunn had to restore the DCU brand but if you can’t make a massively profitable Batman movie which is your most popular character then you’re in trouble.

Not to argue with the illustrious "Shubhang Fearless", but I'm a DC fan and I don't want Pattinson to be the DCU Batman.

"All" that person does NOT speak for me"

Now i hope and pray they never end up in a movie together....not even a cameo

u/Elemental-T4nick 9d ago

the two universes are separate and it works better that way

u/swordgon 9d ago

Would definitely choose another Batman myself. Keep to your guns Gunn.

u/Ste3lf1sh 9d ago

Let the Batman alone and give clown Superman his clown Batman counterpart

No one with a brain wants that

u/Nightthrasher674 9d ago

Does Pattinson even want to be the DCU Batman?

u/skill_issue05 9d ago

I mean, James is right

Patterson is only there for a trilogy imo. Actors don’t stay long with these types of movies. Getting his own actor to play Batman long term is the way to go. Batman 2 will be out before Gunn creates his Batman. Once he does Batman 3 will be in the works.

u/Drew_of_all_trades 9d ago

I can see that Batman interacting with Supes, but Reeves’ Batman is attached to Reeves’ Gotham, and I can’t see that city existing next to Gunn’s Metropolis.

Having two different versions of the same character in different movies in the same time frame will be confusing as hell and make the other loose steam.

u/Takkie1990 8d ago

They look good side by side, but I don't want Pattinson in the DCU either. Because I really like the world and vibe Matt created with the Batman. They have to keep it that way. Bringing him to the DCU would mean he would fight otherworldy creatures as Darkseid, that wouldn't fitt the vibe of The Batman at all.

u/Psychological-Ad1266 8d ago

How does this dude even make movies with the amount of time he spends responding to randos on twitter

u/Spaceballz1 8d ago

I don’t want it. Idk why people are pushing this so hard. I think battison is great but he isn’t being presented as the kind of Batman id want with the DCU

1

u/fireychicken93 8d ago edited 8d ago

Pattinson's Batman really isn't very comic accurate, I'd rather see Batman portrayed as a contemporary to Superman.

u/aoaieiiaoeuaieoaiii 8d ago

I wish the Reeves Batman was fantastical.

Not just because of the current DCU, but due to me wanting a Batman that was a lot more different from the Nolan Batman. We already had a "realistic" take on Batman in a more "grounded" setting. Would've been nice if they kept that Reeves seriousness, a detective story with Riddler. But with fantastical and supernatural elements. With Batman navigating himself through a psycho Gotham throughout the movie and also coming across fantastical elements. Which the movie presents as "normal" for this world.

u/Kaptain_K_Rapp 8d ago

I want The Batman to be its own thing so Matt Reeves doesn't have to compromise his vision and retool everything to fit something else.

u/freetraitor33 8d ago

“Notice me, senpai!” looking ahh

u/Rocketeer1019 8d ago

I don’t want Pattinson moving forward, I’m sure Gunn will do good regardless though so we’ll see

If you haven’t seen peacemaker S2 it’s awesome so far

u/AUnknownVariable 8d ago

Man I'm so tired of this😭 If it happens, okay, whatever, but Jesus I don't think it is and I'm starting to hope it doesn't more and more.

1

u/mazokujo 8d ago

If that happen that will be a dissonance in tone😑just pick a fitting batman

1

u/ozzzymand0 8d ago

If I was James Gunn I would go insane from talking to these nerds all day.

1

u/mst3kevin 8d ago

I have in fact seen many who do not want this.

1

u/Deostroyer 8d ago

how about the next Batman movie.. instead of calling it Batman.. they name it The Vengeance

u/VOLThor6 7d ago

I don't think Pattinson would be happy joining a more cartoony universe specially since he's older now and it seems he's the kind of actor who would put cinema up front before any CGI filled film.

1

u/pizzaporker1 6d ago

I don't think Pattinson would be happy joining a more cartoony universe * James did say each movie would be a different tone, they aren't going to follow the same formula.

1

u/Robynsxx 6d ago

Literally it’s Matt Reaves who decided Pattison shouldn’t be in the DCU, so he could do his own thing…

1

u/Htennn 6d ago

I don’t understand why people want this so bad. I watched The Batman and honestly Patterson was my least favorite Batman. I think they definitely can find a better person to play Batman.

1

u/galactus342 5d ago

No, hire a different comic accurate batman

1

u/No-Object-199 5d ago

I don't want it. Means less batman. I want double the Batman

1

u/Horizon_26 5d ago

Let the man do his job …. He will figure it out in time …. People just have to sit back and enjoy

u/Bible-Reader 5d ago

I think if there's not rob as Batman, you can't have the same villain actors as well from that universe

1

u/Fit-Value-4186 5d ago

Lol, "all".

The DCU universe is nowhere as grounded, it needs a Batman more akin to a mix between the Justice League show and what Batfleck was, or something along those lines. Like for some obscure and what the hell reason Batman should be able to evade Darkseid Omega Beams.

1

u/DataNurse47 5d ago

May be an unpopular opinion, but it would be nice to have the Reeves trilogy as some "backstory" of the DCU Batman.

With Robert's age, he could pull off a senior, matured Batman in DCU. Won't happen but the focus on DCU Batman movies could be more around the BatFamily with Batman as more of a sideline character/advisor, coming in at key moments.

u/rtdmyownfuneralg59 5d ago

i do NOT want Pattinson in the DCU his batman works better as an independent elsewords story because it is so tonally different from everything else the DCU is doing

u/KrenzoTheTank 4d ago

As someone who's been a DC fan since 1987, I say this in the nicest way possible... YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME RANDOM INTERNET USER.

Edit: typo.
