"The Batman" Live-Action Feature Pre-Release News & Discussion, Part 2 (Spoilers)

[Frontier]

A Batsuit reveal is reportedly imminent and is based on Lee Bermejo's take rather than past claims it's a blue and grey.

Bernejo's Batman almost never has the white eyes, so I think people should keep their expectations in-check on that front...

Although in practice I would assume it looks similar to Affleck's Batsuit.

Probably but I'm hoping it's a little slimmer, less bulky looking

It certainly looks like a cinematic costume.

This one working?

Yes. Yes it is.

1/3: Jacqueline Durran reported to be the costume designer.

1/4: Looks like Jeffrey Wright is starting his filming.

And so it begins .

Speculation Penguin might be in some of the set photos leaked online.

New video from the set.

Well...he's got an umbrella at least .

Another batch of photos from the set.

Other than a few super villains like Ivy, Joker, Scarecrow, and maybe Grundy (who I think should be CGI), they pretty much got everyone. And as I suspected, Penguin is probably filling in for someone like Joker.

Seems the story might take place in the 2000s after all.

Well, definitely wouldn't make it as much of a period piece as one might expect...and not too far off from the Nolan films, come to think of it .

True, but look at set designs in the 80-90s Batman movies or even the dark deco look of B:TAS in the 90s for example. This version of Gotham could still show some age to it. Especially if they're in places like Old Gotham, Crime Alley, etc.

It wouldn't be Gotham if there wasn't something retro about it .

Somewhere between the mid to late 2000s?

We still don’t know if this will basically be the Young Batfleck Chronicles or they’re going to retcon Battinson onto Batfleck's timeline, do we?

Because the time placement has me scratching my head...

 

[Road to Gotham]

I don't why this movie needs to be set in the past even a few years or 15 years ago?
Unless Reeves already has a sequel outlined that time jumps a number of years.

Anyway cool seeing Farrell with a umbrella, which the Penguin should have.

Fake news from reddit and the story was deleted.

All that aside, the cast and crew for this look promising. I hope this can be a fresh start and offer a more definitive cinematic take on Batman. Zack Snyder's Frank Miller-lite version was never going to work. I mean if you want to do a standalone Dark Knight Returns movie, or a two part Dark Knight Returns movie, then just do that. The wrote themselves into a corner using that version of Batman as a shared cinematic universe.

It doesn't and it shouldn't.
