THE BATMAN (October 2021)
Trailer Thoughts
Trailer Thoughts
It takes a lot to screw up a Batman film. So far luckily that doesn’t seem to be the case here.
Having said that strong choice of using nirvana in the trailer. Which definitely announces this as more of an emo effort batman. That seems like it will focus on Bruce Wayne more using batman as a result of mental trauma and letting out of demons. Making right what he deems right.as it seeks more a violent batman beating the criminals liem he isntryingnto best his issues.
Never had a problem with Robert Pattinson’s casting. Here in the trailer he just looks younger than any previous batman/Bruce Wayne thst it Almost feels like BATMAN BEYOND only with less technology. It's dark and seems a bit more psychological. As the film Seems to approach things as a mystery that we are alobg with batman tonsolve. As let’s bit forget. Aboive all else he is suoosed to be the world’s greatest detective
Zoe Kravitz certainly has the look for cat woman sexy, lithe dangerous. She is not the only person of color in the film with Jeffrey Wright as commissioner Gordon perfect casting here
Colin Farrell as the penguin will either be genius and show his range or backfire and be made fun of or it might just work to the film's advantage. Interesting showing the Supervillains as human and maybe just a little grotesque and make as much sense as a grown man in a costume handing out justice.
I have no doubt it will be an interesting film it looks sharp, dark, and good. With Matt Reeves as the director, I have very few fears as he is a solid director and has made really good genre movies that were not disappointing. (LET ME IN (remake), CLOVERFIELD, DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, WAR OF THE PLANET OF THE APES) The less said about his first film THE PALLBEARER the better, but we all must start somewhere.
Happy it is going in the darker direction of Batman more the Christopher Nolan movies. Not as gothic as the Tim Burton pens nor as campy as the Joel Schumacher ones obviously made mroe for kids and strangely the mainstream. Nolan’s version felt darker and yet close. A little more reality and less fantasy than the Zach Snyder version which more had batman facing aliens and intergalactic forces most of the time.
Best of all is thst even as a superhero film. It doesn’t come off purely as one. It looks grand to behold but not as much a special effects spectacle as some of these films csn be
Hoping this goes the way of Tom Holland SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING and after Andrew Garfield in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN movies which for some were entertaining but not my cup of tea and kind of bad I would say disappointing but I had little faith in them from the beginning. As the trailers were underwhelming.
Though batman has becomes D.C.’s Spider-Man with always wanting to reboot or remake him with different actors and in different universes. So after the more disappointing movies with Ben Affleck as Batman and never even getting his own stand alone movie. I am hoping this batman goes the way of the later SPIDER-MAN which is more what the fans want and not (yet) having to tie. In the rest of the D.C. universe. So the franchise can worry mroe about itself. Which fits in with Batman’s outsider loner nature anyway
