4 Batman films planned for 2019.

[PapaGreg096]

Still don't think Batman is a bit too oversaturated yet?

I don't care. I don't consume most of the Batman media anyway. But I'd prefer an ocean of Batman-related content over the lameness of actual superheroes.

Ben Affleck's costume doesn't appeal to me and I was never into Nightwing, though I didn't mind him being in The New Batman Adventures. I'll probably ignore both those movies. Batgirl is one I'll keep an eye on. I liked some of the Harley x Ivy episodes in The Animated Series, so Sirens might be one I'll enjoy. I'm betting it will take itself too seriously or not seriously enough, though.

Don't like Superheroes yet Batman's rogue's gallery has plenty of Super villains like Cleyface, Bane, Poison Ivy, Ra's Al Ghul, Mr. Freeze, etc.

Unless you don't like them either and prefer the more "realisitc" ones like Joker, Penguin and Catwoman?

That's what was cool about Solid Snake and Naked Snake. They were regular men fighting comic book bosses with supernatural powers. It made the fights more interesting. If they were superheroes themselves, it would have been lame.

So what about Spiderman who despite being a superhero still goes after people who are much faster and stronger than him.

Lame. I don't want my hero web-slinging and hopping around like an insect in a flamboyant skinsuit.

So you prefer your superhero grapple lining, gliding like a disgusting rodent in a heavy suit

Using his ninja abilities and natural strength to put fear into his enemies in the dark of night. Yup, that's much better. He has better taste too.

Well Spiderman fights people who are way more powerful than him using guile and he doesn't need heavy armor that makes him look like a emo football player

Like I said, I don't like Ben Affleck's (armored) costume. That's not Batman. I prefer him being vulnerable to gunfire, like in that tense chapter of Year One where he gets shot and has to escape the police.

Guile? Batman has to be pretty cunning and resourceful too. He gets out of many situations in the animated series by using his surroundings. And he too fights enemies more powerful than him.

I seldom watched the Spiderman animated series when it was on TV. It had nothing on Batman.

You should check out Spectacular Spiderman tons of example of Spiderman using his surroundings.

That seems like 2 too many Batman movies.

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

Holy oversaturation Batman! What do we do now?

Well, not go and see any Batman films for a fucking start.

This is just pure speculation, but maybe my sought after reboot is in the works. WB says to themselves, Snyder's verse based on MoS is tanking, let's grind out 4 live action Batman adjacent films, take the money, and punch out. Is this a prelude to everything else 2019 DCEU onward getting the axe n reboot. Could be, I hope so anyway.

 

[The Madman]

Meh.

On a related note though, I re-watched Batman Returns the other day and although the movie certainly has a whole heap of flaws, Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman totally stole the show every second she was onscreen. And not just on account of being ridiculously hot, her chemistry with Michael Keaton's Batman was electric and although I know Tim Burton's interpretation of the characters is far from canon, it was still damned compelling to watch. Also that soundtrack, holy shit is it good.

As for these future movies? Again, meh. I doubt any will be any good anyway given DC's current record.

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

Four? Bah! Pitiful attempt. DC need to seriously up their game to M. Bay's (or more accurately; Hasbro's) planned Transformers-verse output;

Your overconfidence that reboot will fix this is amusing.

Have you forgotten about Fant4stic? That was a reboot of the 2000s Fantastic Four. And it ended up being worse than the 2000s Fantastic Four.

Why do you not think a reboot would end up giving us worse movies? Tell me?

 

[babinro]

I thought these were literally all batman movies.

The fact that they are different characters makes this a lot more palatable especially since it feels like Marvel is already doing this yearly with their own universe.

This is risky for oversaturation reasons of course. I may eventually see all these films on netflix in time but there is no way I'd consider seeing them in theater at those inflated prices so close to one another. I'm okay with this happening but I won't be helping them out financially. If they never come out on something like Netflix then I'll just never see them. Superhero movies are a dime a dozen so to speak, I can live with skipping out on them.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

Except there's only one "Batman movie", isn't there? The other three don't star Batman. That'd be like complaining there're three upcoming Avengers movies, even though only one of those actually stars an Avenger.

 

[Wrex Brogan]

I'm just disappointed they didn't throw a Man-Bat movie in there, just to shake things up a bit.

Because they actually can't get any worse, for me. After seeing just one of these movies I refused to pay money to watch anything in the franchise. And I will give anything one chance. So even if a reboot IS worse, functionally it would have the same result. I would watch the first movie (probably on the first day) and if it was as bad or "worse" than MoS... I would just stop paying money to see them. And me even staying in the theater for the full run of MoS was such an endurance test it proves I won't walk out on a movie. So its not overconfidence, its experience. Functionally any reboot could only be "as bad" as the Snyderverse. Obviously it could be worse, but my reaction to it actually can't be.

 

[bastardofmelbourne]

Oh, they can get much, much worse.

Man of Steel and Batman v Superman were severely flawed films, but they still had good points. The visuals were stunning in both films, and the fight scenes were generally pretty great. The Zod fight [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMKsuA4Bi-c] in MoS took the implied collateral damage of most superhero films and played it to an unprecedented level of brutality, and the warehouse fight scene [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjtQGqGJFk4] in BvS is legitimately the best live-action Batman fight scene ever. It kicked the shit out of what Nolan was doing.

I never believed anyone who said that BvS was just 100% bad. It had a lot of crippling flaws, but it also did a lot of stuff right. Part of the reason I was so disappointed by it was because it was nearly good at so many points, but always fell short and occasionally cut away to something daft like Wonder Woman checking her email.

So...yeah. It can get way, way worse. Spiderman 3 was pretty shit, but compared to the reboot afterwards it was fucking gold. Fantastic Four was cheesy and tacky and all kinds of bad, but compared to Fant4stic, they were at least films. Don't be so eager to dump the DCEU and jump into the JSA, or whatever. You'll end up turning a moist turd into a puddle of diarrhoea.

*snrrk*

They really don't know how to do anyone else, huh?

At this rate I'm expecting Justice League to just be a Batman film with Wonder Woman, Flash etc having a brief cameo, perhaps post credits.

Exactly. At this point I am temtped to say Batman needs to get out of DC, he's holding everyone back. Get out of DC and have his own dedicated Comic Brand.

While I like the idea of batman having a seperate universe, the reality is that batman isn't holding DC back. He's the only thing of value that they have. He's basically life support for the entire universe. When DC default, they can always fall back on the national bank of bruce wayne to bail them out.

 

[Kyrian007]

Oh, they can get much, much worse.

Man of Steel and Batman v Superman were severely flawed films, but they still had good points. The visuals were stunning in both films, and the fight scenes were generally pretty great.

The visuals were 75% of why I hated MoS. The always-on, unceasing shaky-cam marred the film so badly that even the pretty well choreographed fight scenes were just ugly as hell. Some directors can film a fight scene well enough to look good without blurring it into a jumbled mess, but why Snyder went the extra mile to even film stationary scenes with the same level of shaky-cam was a bizarre and stupid choice of visual gimmick.

That did bother me I mean isn't Zack Snyder suppose to be the Slo Mo guy? Why is there Shaky Cam in the Action of Man of Steel? What happened to these action scenes Zack, these look much better than Shaky Cam in my eyes?
