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.

Ah - so I remembered that correctly?  Funny - watching the I just went to Wikipedia and saw that Colin Farrell was listed last in the abbreviated cast list as the Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot / Penguin:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Batman_(film)

^ I didn't even notice the Penguin in the trailer.  It makes me wonder why Jonah Hill was asking for so much cash for a small role.  Does he think he's Marlon Brando in the 1978 Superman movie?  Haha.

Not to say Jonah Hill hasn't shown versatility as an actor, but it's surprising to me that any actor would turn down a superhero movie.  Back in the day, Michael Keaton stopped after Batman Returns out of fear of being typecast.  Now in 2020 when superhero movies are basically all we have, I can't see why any actor would consider themselves above it.

Maybe another trailer will show this Batman reboot is worth watching...but as of now, I'll pass.

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.

Oh God...

If you confirm that, let us know.  I don't want to pay any cash for movies that have even the faintest scent of wokeness in it.

I heard the libertarian presidential candidate recently went woke.  Tim Pool mentioned it the other day on YouTube [I saw the video yesterday].  I just don't need to hear another diatribe about how evil White men are.  I've only heard it 10,000 times by now, and whether I agree or disagree with it, I just don't want to hear it again.  You'd think by now, Hollywood would understand how much wokeness is turning people away...but no.

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.



Yep.  That is everything I was afraid of.  Black Adam is just a no bullshit dude that thinks nothing of slaughtering people on a whim.  The WW3 story was he against every other DC hero except Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman (who were missing for some reason).  He beat the piss out of them without breaking a sweat.

They should have brought Black Adam to the screen first by making him the next villain that the Justice League would face in their next movie.

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.

Just like these other Batman movies having to follow nolans...

The last 3-4 minutes of Nolan's effort was the kind of payoff that none of these other hero films offer. These money hungry studios always leaving things wide open for sequels. Nolan stamped his work with a satisfying ending that just seems to age better and better.

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.
I agree.  I really liked Christian Bale as the Dark Knight.

On the subject of Batman....   while J. Phoenix gave a good portrayal of "a" Joker, there is no one that can touch Heath's portrayal as "THE" Joker.

Since we can't bring back Heath, Phoenix is what we got!

I'm sure catwoman will be wayyy overpowering.  She'll probably beat the piss out of batman in the movie.

they cant use Phoenix, he would be too old to do anything by the time Bruce Wayne had grown up..

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.

damn, that was 15 years ago, now i feel old, and im about to turn 30

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.

this voice over trailer was so fucking lame

The cinema version of shazam/adam should be identical to the animation.  Unfortunately, they already jacked up shazam.  Walker will put the finishing touch on a fan friendly black adam. smh!

DC is using Dafoe as much as they can.  He was in Aquaman as well.

I was expecting Batman to be gender neutral non binary whatever that means. I am disappointed.
