cool lmk in 2031 when the movie comes out direct to streaming
hhharvey dent
>we've never seen this villain before on-screen>Two-Face
>>217214535Why are they waiting until Edward is fifty for the sequel. Vampires might not age in universe, but they do in real life.
>>217214535>gypsy harvey dentlmao
>>217214535>Harvey Dent>againCan we get some new villains on screen for once?
>>217214673no, batman is LE SERIOUS BUSINESS now and 90% of his rogue gallery is too goofy for normies, so you are getting another generic "mob boss" adaptation and you WILL like itI was hoping they'll try at least Hush, but they arent original enough even for that
>promised a scarier movie with a villain we haven't seen >James Gunn decides he wants his Marvel washups in the movie Delays should have been the signs going back The Batman with Covid
>>217214725>I was hoping they'll try at least HushThey basically already did Hush with the Riddler in the last film
>>217214725Solomon Grundy would be kino if they made him like a Hulk-lite and Batman had to take him out with help of Nightwing and Robin in a 3 v 1 action sequence.
>>217214725>90% of his rogue gallery is too goofy for normiesThey just had the goofiest Riddler since Jim Carrey in the last movie.
>>217214673>>217214725Absolute Batman is the most popular comic version right now. Two-Face going crazy from suffering a stroke (which I assume is the most likely reimagining here) just sounds depressing
>>217214673>>217214554I don't even think he is the main villain. Harvey Dent is a more complex character and it would be a waste not to have him in an universe like this. Gotham's DA was killed in the last film, so it makes total sense.That being said, I just hope they retcon that silly Joker design entirely.
Didn't they say Batman PT II is split into two movies ?
>>217214926James Gunn has nothing to do with this movie.James Gunn wants to make his own Batman movie with Damian Wayne as Robin in Brave and the Bold.But because WB (Walter Hamada) approved and signed a contract with Matt Reeves to make Batman movies, James Gunn can’t make his Batman movie yet because WB doesn’t want to confuse audiences with two Batman’s.
>50+ villains in rogues gallery>keep repeating the same six in live action ad nauseam for 60 years
>>217215101See>>217214725Matt Reeves Batman is about “””realism”””. They can’t use fantastical Batman villains. Everything has to be le grounded.
But this Batman, Gordon, Catwoman, and Joker suck ass so who gives a fuck
Just scrap it at this point. It shouldn't be taking them half a decade to even get anywhere with the sequel. Reboot it, make it in the vein of the Arkham games. Embrace the absurdity of Batman and roll with it.
>>217215144Zoomers Zoomers love this Batman for some reason.
>>217214535>capeslop actors are casted in another capeslop yawn
>>217214991>Absolute Batman is the most popular comic version right now.I know Batman is Jewish, but the heavy handed beating up white supremacists is super cringe
>>217215160According to Grace, Matt Reeves had a personal tragedy/personal matters (a Chadwick Boseman situation) and that is why it took him so long to make the Batman sequel.
>>217215160Seems like a no brainer. Also, cheap to make an Arkham film. Tho it is kind of funny we're getting "Clayface" before a Batman sequel.
>>217215101>>50+ villains in rogues gallery>>keep repeating the same six in live action ad nauseam for 60 yearsObviously he killed all the super natural baddies
So much potential for these movies and James Gunn has to shit it up
>>217214725>normiesYou mean normalfags
>>217215253See>>217215081
>>217214991The most popular right now? What about negro Batman? Jayz Fox?
>>217214673tbf Two Face was never proerly done in film. Schumacer's Two Face was a shitty Joker clone and Nolan's Two Face was a disillusioned normie that got mindbroken by Joker. Seeing a faithful adapation wouldbe instresting to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV-hAlGXw5I
>>217214725>>217215116Batman has loads of grounded villains
>>217216007>Matt Reeves >FaithfulTwo-Face will be an incel
>>217216147Every iconic villain in the reevesverse has been incelcoded so far, the riddler was a 4channer chudcel & mentalcel and the Joker is a total blackpilled brutal sub5
>>217214725Hush sucks, but i agree with the rest of your post. Most people who think he is cool were introduced to the IDEA of him that was briefly presented in the Arkham games, but he has never been in a good story.
>>217214725>I was hoping they'll try at least HushRetard. His Riddler was already an amalgam with Hush
>>217214535Reeves saw A Different Man
>>217214554It's Long Halloween. Harvey ia just a casualty of what will happen.
>>217214673>>217214725Maybe the problem is that we don't need this umpteenth Batman adaption. how many times can they tell the same stories.Can't the let the fucker rest for a good decade until people actually miss him?
>>217216147>Two-Face will be an incelPlayed by Sebastian Stan? No
>>217216241I fucking hate this design. It's not edgy, it's ridiculous. It was a great opportunity to work on something different, a smooth prince of crime that was actually funny, because the Joker is genuinely funny when properly written. He is a good actor, but this feels like it borrows the worst and least important traits of Ledger's and (god forbid) Leto's Joker.Penguin, Two Face, Joker... So every Batman villain will have scars on their faces now?
>>217216383I thought the last movie was long halloween, with the mobsters all dying and the supervillains rising
I thought this was supposed to be Mask of the Phantasm?This is gay
>>217216619>>217216383The Batman is literally set during Halloween
You'd think Gunn would go with the blue cowl/gray suit, Brave & the Bold-style version of Batman. There's no better time to finally do that. The all-black, grimdark interpretations are beyond played out.
>>217217302I've been saying this too. But I think they'll keep Battinson for the grimdark Batman and a separate one for the of Corenswet Superman. People already know who Batman is and that there are different versions, it's okay to have two. In this way they can have even more freedom to get grimdark on one version and light and fun with the other without any fan missing out.
>>217217384All the more reason Pattinson should have been Dick Grayson.
>>217216388No because WB only has 8 years of complete ownership to Batman, after that even Disney could do an MCU Batman movie, they are trying to squeeze the lemon before that
>>217214535Trump is just Harvey Dent with a big titty wife, y'see?
>>217214535Perfect casting desu
just put all the fucking villains in the same movie. one of the great points of the Adam West show was watching the villains interact with each other.
>>217214535What, did Disney buy DC and tell no one?
>>217214535It's hard to believe anyone is looking forward to the Nolanbats lite with worse villains and a shittier Batman and the same Nolan plot reheated.
>>217218801One of the great points of the Adam West Show, and Batman: The Animated Series, were all the varying motives and capers pulled off by the villains.Now it's just endless "Guy disgusted with Society puts on coat and tries to blow up Gotham." Rinse and repeat.
>>217214535>Batman>The Batmanwhat's next, A Batman? Batman 1?
>>217214725I don’t believe this logic because if you faithfully adapted Gentlemen Ghost everyone would think he looked cool as fuck
>>217214535I thought he was the Mad Hatter?
>>217216241>>217216469would be pretty funny if he gets a succesful reconstructive surgery on part 2
>>217217285wow, didn't even notice halloween decor.
>>217216007If they could make Two Face more disturbing *after* a successful reconstructive surgery, it would be far better than having him playing a Hammer movie monster.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcnbeWuwDh0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkZ0484R7P4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWV9nvGo_GM
I hope they never do Court of Owls. It's basic and boring.>Secret society behind the scenes >And they wear masks!
>>217216241I thought he was a Resene Abanakee Y67-035-088 pilled fella.
Will they introduce Grace LaMonte and Gilda Dent? Will it be a love quadrangle between them, Bruce and Harvey?
>>217221392It would make sense for Dent to be torn between *two women* but I'd rather see Bruce get with the old flame, it might help the exposition aspect, yet getting the casting right for Grace would be critical.
>>217214599no one cares
>>217214991absolute batman is for absolute faggots
Why do reputable actors still choose to star in capeshit when it's been nothing but critical and commercial flops for the past half-decade?
>>217216241>incelcoded>4channer chudcel mentalchel>blackpilled brutal sub5Aren't you fucking embarrassed to exist, saying and knowing this shit? Jesus christ.
>>217214725No fuck you. If they don't have man-bat then there's no point in even watching. Batman using the same 3 villains in every fucking adaptation is boring as shit. I don't fucking care if they want to be le super srs. Joker is a shit villain and Dent is just a basic bitch mobster wannabe with a bad complexion. Riddler is a sunday paper puzzle reject.
>>217216275People like you who played the Arkham games as their first exposure to Hush would think that he sucks, yeah. Rocksteady didn't do him justice at all.People who read the original Hush run, or gates of Gotham, heart of hush, or even just saw his cameos through War Games will have a better idea of what he’s about and how threatening and interesting he could be as a villain.He would work much better as an arching villain over the course of a trilogy though. Not as a one off with no prior buildup.
>>217222217>why do plumbers fix toilets when they’ve been nothing but shit and piss basins for the last decade and a half?
>>217222333We demand manbat
>>217214535he's obviously hush
>>217222333I'm not saying you're wrong. But would manbat genuinely be any better aside from the quirky angle?I'm very ignorant on the comics so I'd love to be told why manbat is actually cool.
I want a Jackie Chan kung fu style Batman movie. Is that retarded?
>>217217928>grimdark emo bitch>Dick GraysonLMAODickbats is basically Spiderman with a cape
>>217217947Anon, WB still owns the trademarks for Batman (especially his name). People won’t be able to do anything with him except make horror parodies.
>>217223177No. Batman is a martial arts expert and wanting to see him fight isn’t dumb.
>>217223285People misunderstand copyright law, yeah.Conpanies will publicly be able to use that name and the original appearance likeness, but they won’t have access to any of the other Batman content or lore, and if they try and make an original story about it and sail too close to something still under copyright protection then they’ll get sued to kingdom come.
>>217218801same with The Animated Series. The villains working with and against each other was great.
>>217223256I’m so glad it was Drake who had to take the LGBT bullet instead of any of the other Robins.
>>217218893Damn, you nailed why I dislike modern Batman shit.
>>217221268>court of owls but it's suits from blackrock and vanguard
>>217223518This is why Court will likely never get done.
>>217223256Detective Comics was dark when it was the Dick Batman book for a while.
>>217214991Absolute shit is the new nu52 and it's only praised by people who don't like DC
>>217223550or they will be comically evil as usual>Bane wants to destroy the stock market because it's corrupt and feeds on the poor. Oh also he wants to blow up the city just because.>Riddler is killing corrupt politicians and people in power who keep the city in oppression so they can sip champagne in their towers while others fight for meals. Oh also he wants to flood the city just because.
>>217223725>comic book characters are written comicallyImagine that
>>217214535HAAAAAAAARVEEEEEEY DENTCan we trust him?
>>217223692Not true. It's doing waaay better than Nu 52 ever did. It helps that it's not canon and has been sold as an alternate timeline from the very beginning
>>217223745okay, but then why add the real world analogy and then make them disney evil at the end? it's a bait and switch by the shareholders, nothing else.
>>217222256and yet you still come here you normalfaggot.
>>217214991It's really funny how people try to deny kinoI've never wanted to read a DC comic til the absolute universe, they are clearly taking the right notes to why manga/anime are popular, Batman, at least. Just about every iteration of a previously existing character is amazing maybe outside of Harley. Bane is probably the best version of the character ever. Deathstroke is a MGS character.
>>217223757We are past that
how much negro worship will they include in this one?
>>217223763What’s your metric for measuring this? Given that comic book sales have stagnated pretty badly since 2015, despite the small shot in the arm that marvels avengers movies gave the industry.
>>217223867Okay. So you’re just an obsessed lying samefag. Got it.
>>217223763well it is canon from multiverse/darkseid bullshit from the getgo
>>217214673>Victor Zsasz>Deadshot>Black Mask>Calendar Man>Professor PygThe rest are too silly or overdone for these movies.
>>217218801thats for when they adapt Hush.
>>217218986he was called The Batman for one or two stories in detective comics
>>217223959Deadshot is a hero now. Calendar man would end up being derivative of other villains. Zsasz is kind of basic.Black Mask could work in an ensemble story. Pug would probably be the most interesting but they’d have to sacrifice a lot of the weirdness to make sure it passed all their demographic checks.
>>217223867absolute is mediocre, all of them. you should read some of the better runs and standalones before praising it so high. trust me, you are the one denying yourself of kino. here's a good list: https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/profile/magisterp/thread/22294526
Do you need more proof that Hack Reeves is creayivelh bankrupt and only trying to one up Nolan at every turn, only to produce pure tryhard cringe.
>>217214535The last fake The Batman movie had a red theme, so this time, we will go with a blue theme.
>>217223959Black Mask was already in that stupid Harley Quinn flick.Hush could work.
>>217223959>>Victor ZsaszNick Reiner would be kino casting
>>217224047That movie didn’t even feature Harley Quinn. Let alone black mask.
>>217223880It would have been nice if Two Face was a black villain for a Chance.
>>217224453He was a nog in the Burton films
>>217224011Nah. I bet they're fine, but I'll read them if I'm diving into the history. My favorite comic is Watchmen which isn't some bold take, but the Absolute Universe has a vibe similar to it but pushed to the max.
>>217224499Batman 89 comic does the burton two-face and it was full of social injustice bullshit especially since Robin is black too and named Drake. he actually gets his name because someone thinks hes Robbing a business
>>217224540Maybe Gunn’s Damian will be a halfie and Talia will be a black.
>>217214673His wife is the real villain (spoilers) but maybe they'll do a double twist because the comic is well known.
>>217224632Talia would be Middle Eastern. Not black.
>>217224639If I had to pick Scarj as a gender swapped Batman villain it would be Mr. Freeze, she has the gravitas to pull it off (basing this of BTAS Freeze)
>reeves Batman thread>ctrl+F hushGoddamn this anon is annoying
>>217214535Boring!
>>217214535> THE BATMAN: PART II Casts Sebastian Stan as Harvey Dent>Scarlett Johansson has been cast as Harvey’s wife Gilda Gold.Nowhere in that article did it say what role he was playing.Him or her.
>>217214673>>217215018 Please note that 2/3 of all Batman on screen stories are based on year one to two and long halloween
I have an idea, how about new characters and a new story instead of warming over shit that has already been done 9 fucking times?We're past the nostalgia baby blanket "omg it's just like muh childhood comic books" stage of capeshit movies. It's time to move on.
>>217225200I agree.Reeves the Batman is just mix of Batman year one (same as Batman 89 and Batman Begins) and Long Halloween ( Batman 89 also had elements of it, while Dark Knight is almost 1:1 adaptation) plus we have a lot of animated adaptations of these stories.Reeves Batman could have been just it's own neo Noir set in New York or Chicago
>>217214535do they want people to want to fuck Two Face now?
>>217224688I guess you haven’t watched Batfam…
>>217214535Sounds pretty damn kino
>>217214725>batman is LE SERIOUS BUSINESS now and 90% of his rogue gallery is too goofy for normiesHave you been watching any comic movies since the nolan trilogy?
Gilda Dent is a pretty insubstantial role. Even if they are doing The Long Halloween, and There's a big scene at the end where she reveals she's the real Holiday most of the time , she's just a passive doting wife.But as >>217225112 says, there is nothing in the article specifying the casting. What if they're really Hush and The Phantasm?
>>217224540
>>217223998> Deadshot is a hero nowWot
>>217214535>Harvey's fatherMark Hammil
Is he anti semitic or whatHow come hollywood never uses him
>>217228136He was in the CW DC shows.
>>217228213nobody watched that crap
>>217228790Arrow season 1 had over 4 million terrestrial viewers. It ran for 8 seasons. It was slop, but it happened.
>>217228964You don't have to say it was slop to impress these guys. You can admit you liked the shows. I liked the Flash, and the Crisis On Infinite Earths thing where they brought in everyone from Burt Ward to Kevin Conroy was kino.
>>217228136he's kind of just a pedo bum now, plus he's more of a Nightwing villain
>>217229486I’m not looking to impress anyone. Particularly in a comic book thread desu.Arrow felt more like one of those goofy teen dramas with a comic book coat of paint. After a few years it went from palatable slop to unwatchable minority infested girl power garbage. I didn’t watch the crisis stuff. I saw skeletal Conroy in some of the promos and I just felt sorry for him. The fact he had to be a part of that, and of SSKtJL, makes me quite sad actually.
>>217214535I thought the marvel contract forbid them from playing other comic book characters. Is he out?
> Hey, let's make a sequel to the worst Batman movie ever made! We got more kang shit to blame on white kids for that DEI money!
>>217214535It's New villain. It isn't two face. It's probably hush
>>217214535lame casting
>>217230095What are you talking about? They got a black Gordon, but that's pretty much it.
>>217230369Retard, or disingenuous? You forgot about catwoman?Or about how Riddler’s incel army uprising was entirely White males.
>>217230492Halle Berry Catwoman predates The Batman so black catwoman is grandfathered in.
>>217220839The guy was wearing a mask the entire movie!
>>217230095>The worst Batman movie ever madeIt's not>DEIOh cool, wake me up when it's 2017 Asmongold.
>>217214535Gunn won
