This is almost a gothic version of batman vs. batfleck's brutal version. Love the move to the various earths by DC

Didn't Jonah Hill ask for more money to play The Penguin in that movie than the lead actor playing Batman, and got removed from the project negotiations because of it?

I can't tell much from that trailer. If I was a fan of that style of music, I'd probably have liked it, but I'm not, and I think the trailer didn't tell me much of anything...did I see Catwoman in there? For some reason, I thought it was The Penguin in this one.

He looks just as small as I thought he would as Batman. At least with Keaton the thick rubber suit gave him more size on camera. This guy has zero presence and isn't imposing at all. But I don't expect anything from a movie that the director wanted to cast Jonah Hill as Matt mentioned. I think even Seth Rogen was up for something.

After seeing this trailer I have a tiny bit more interest to see the film. I will be going into it with low expectations. I'm just curious to when the SJW wokeness will be revealed.

It's in there somewhere.

Same here. Trailers can be very deceiving though.

Gordon is black. Hopefully that’s all they had to do to appease their overlords.

Looks badass though.

Looks like those positive news paper articles are about a politician named "Don" that the Riddler painted the word Lies over.

I'm more interested in the Black Adam movie. Black Adam is very underrated and unappreciated. Dude is basically on par with Superman in every regard except heat vision and freeze breath.

You see what happen with the Quinn movie when DC let Margot produce it. The Rock is producing Black Adam. Look for Scorpion King 2.0.

Pattison is 100x the actor the Rock is.

Oh I heard about this movie they combine the multiple universes and Twilight and Batman are combined. Didn't see Bella in the trailer or the werewolf guy. Not really interested in this but who knows maybe its good.

So sad to see the DC ended up Marvel's b*tch in the movies they had a head start of decades and still fudged it up.

The Tim Burton Batman’s were good and the Dark Knight series was good. About the only thing DC didn’t screw up movie wise. Marvel universe owns them. The Infinity Saga was brilliant, and I’m not a comic geek.

Edit: just watched the trailer. Looks like it might be worth a watch.

Pattinson is a bit of a twink, but I don’t see what the hate is about? Cuz he was in a teeny bopper franchise 15 years ago?

I Was sold on him after the lighthouse.

He is a better actor, but Rock has more of the look of Black Adam than he does.

Seeing how the comics rarely got Black Adam right, I don't expect this movie to.

Big problem though, is that Rock is producing it.

Even if he wasn't producing it, Rock wouldn't "taint" himself playing a real villain.

The Rocks Black Adam won't be like the "real" Black Adam, but a Disney-fied one.

He will be playing Black Adam like he usually plays his characters.
Dwayne Johnsons range is very narrow. Unless he's being goofy and charming he falls apart as an actor.

Black Adam is a villain that kills people, decapitates people.

They will of course "skip" the villain-story and go straight to anti-hero.

This looks great. Batman isn’t massive and muscular on purpose. In this universe he’s angry and vengeful. Super dark. His inner darkness drives him. Not muscles. How could Batman be big and muscular and hide it as Bruce Wayne? I was super skeptical but have to say this looks amazing.

El Diablo Blanco · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2020, 05:01:16 PM »

By the way. Jeffery Wright is hell of an actor.

Too many batman movies, will not watch...

No kidding. So overdone.

DC also dropped the Flashpoint Paradox and showing more of the Extended Justice League movie. It's going to be 4 1 hour installments on HBO Max which will also show Darkseid. Oh yeah.

DC has been on a roll. Then, this gets dropped. Like I said, Scorpion King 2.0. This is by far the worst trailer I have seen. You need someone like Patti Jenkins directing him, who can build on his limitations.

True but Jeffery Wright is a super cool actor. He’ll do the role justice.

Loved him ever since casino royale.

I’m really excited for this one. I love DC, way more intelligent than Marvel. Neegats LOVE marvel, speaks volumes.

Gordon being black not a problem with me. Good luck to the white guy that would've had to follow Gary Oldman in that role.

You'd think there would be a way to entertain and engage in a little social commentary without making use of a man in a bat suit.
