Batfleck's back, alright!

The Batfleck suit and the performances of Gal Gadot and Amy Adams are about the only thing about the Snyderverse that isn’t horrible.

Maybe this is the suit Patman wears when the sh*t hits the fan. Because if it isn't, hoo boy, the upgraded suit might as well be a mecha.

I loved Batfleck. Super violent Batman is the way to go.

But I'm not sure about the new suit. The armor is fine and all but that cowl leaves so much of his face revealed it almost might as well not be there.

That's just his face. I'm more or less onboard for the suit but still wary of Pattinson.
Wait and see.

Don't know if I love the suit. Feels different for the sake of being different.
If there's context, tone or design within the movie, I can get on board.

Otherwise, it feels like either producers mandated a clean break from Batfleck because market studies demand it, or a radically new design to sell toys.

Maybe I'm just jaded at this point.

Yeah, Pattinson almost seems too scrawny to play Batman. But I've learned that preliminary judgments can be wrong.

Indeed.
My gut reaction to Pattinson is Garfield Spidey. Which is funny as Garfield kind of looks like a young Peter B. from Spiderverse which worked there.

I'm tempted to hold off final judgement until we see the ears.

I'm busy playing the first Injustice right now and that sets new standards for awful super hero costumes. I'm happy with anything better than those.

It's a product of the fact that one game was made much closer to Suicide Squad, but it's still wild that MK Joker is better than Injustice 2 Joker. MK J is all suits, and has a bunch of Nicholson referencing gear.

Injustice 1 Joker isn't too bad, he's very Arkham/TAS, and I like Green Arrow. Batman, Superman, Flash etc are teeerrrriiiibbbbblllleeeeee.

He's waaaaaay worse in 2. As in everything you fear when you hear "MK guys pay tribute to Leto Joker" worse. The customize feature helps save a lot of designs in that game, but Joker is nigh irredeemable

Better look at the new Batsuit. It's... well, I don't hate it.

Are they getting Batman confused with Daredevil?

I don't hate it, but it does seem like a bit of a throw back to earlier movies.

I quite like the Batsuit.

God that mask looks terrible. Yeesh.

Seems the mask is meant to be a Batbikehelmet, rather than the real cowl. At least one would hope. The motorcycle itself looks like its designed to kill the rider who brakes too hard.

Fine in a different universe where Bruce Wayne was a different person?

My biggest concern with Pattinson is that he’ll make a terrible Bruce Wayne. Tom Holland a fantastic Spider-Man partly because he’s such a good Peter Parker. Nobody yet has played a particularly good Bruce Wayne.

Eh, I think there's been ok Bruce's, but never both at the same time. Except Conroy, but he doesn't count for this.
Clooney was a good Bruce. Kilmer wasn't bad. Both bad Bats though.
But you are right that no one really has had both.

Comics related but would AT&T really shutter the DC publishing business? I thought the comics industry was doing well.

Michael Keaton's Batman and Bruce Wayne were both really good, but in an exception that proves the rule kinda way.

I need to rewatch them. I remember being find of them but not liking that he mostly played them the same.

Keaton’s Bruce Wayne was _not_ good. Keaton’s Adrian Toombs was excellent, and it played just like his Bruce Wayne. I liked Bale’s billionaire playboy, but he didn’t physically work for me as Wayne, and I prefer a brooding Bruce in any case.

I want the live action version of BtS Bruce Wayne. No idea who could pull it off - especially the voice - but that’s what I want.

EDIT: I guess I’ve been spoiled by Tom Holland/Chris Evans/Chris Hemsworth/RDJ/ScarJo/Burblebutt Crumblybrick. They’ve all been just so. Damn. Good.

Ok, fair. I just like Keaton.
Odd that you want brooding Bruce as BtAS was more jovial. The Injustice 2 Bruce seems to fit what you want, but he's animated.

Agreed on Marvel casting. With a side of Gadot and Mamoa.
*edit - Actually I was good with the Justice League casting. Just a bad script, director, producers, etc.

I remember a bunch of Michael Keaton/Bruce Wayne scenes in a movie that's 30 years old, and that I haven't seen in at least ten. I remember nothing about the Bruce Wayne scenes from Batman movies I saw last year.

He's not exactly my ideal Bruce Wayne or Batman, but he had a sense of the character that pretty much everyone since then (except Kevin Conroy) hasn't really pulled off. Part of it is that in later movies, directors and writers got a little too deep into the whole "actually, the mask is Bruce Wayne" thing, and kind of forgot to come up with an actual personality. Whereas Keaton's slightly alienated and profoundly weird Bruce Wayne was at least an interesting take on the character. I think Keaton also did a lot with micro-expressions that a lot of his successors didn't even attempt.

edit: Why has no one tried to get Henry Cavill into the cape? He's basically perfect for both sides of that role.

Is it for sure Bruce as Batman and not his father? Thomas as Batman was pretty gritty.
