Director Matt Reeves steps away from the project
well shit
this movie is fucking cursed lmao
this will never come out
>>223587090Can DC get ONE win?
Gunn sabotaged it. It's joever.
Worked for Justice League!
>it's real
>>223587090I hope there's a documentary on the production of this movie, it's been in development hell for years and now this? lmfao DC fucking sucks
>>223587090DanielRPK has never been right about a goddamn thing in his life, stop platforming this huckster.Better yet, stop making twitter screencap threads.
>>223587165Reeves has been dealing with major personal issues for the last 3 years. No one wants to say what they are because of privacy reasons.>>223587168The news comes from Deadline.
>>223587168https://deadline.com/2026/10/the-batman-part-ii-production-pause-matt-reeves-1237146807/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/the-batman-part-ii-paused-as-filmmaker-matt-reeves-1236722514/
>>223587090
Wishing Matt the worst after the woke disaster of batman 1
Once you go black, get ready for the -ACK
>>223587090It's fucking hilarious because in 6 years Nolan made>Batman begins>The prestige>The dark knight>InceptionIn 6 years reeves has made... the batman
Hopefully we get RP in more kino rather than being tied down to this disaster
>>223587228His writing style is very very long, but Reeves has also been dealing with major personal issues.Some say it's a divorce, some say he's been ill.
>>223587228I remember when the wait between The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises felt like a long time
>>223587139No. I won't allow it
>>223587090oh no what am i gonna do without my gorrilionth capeshit movie
>>223587090Is Matt Reeve's wife VAXXED? Pattinson can't live down WHAT GIVES HIM THE MORAL RIGHT to be a vigilante for Gotham?!
>>223587206Then post a screenshot of the deadline article instead of the schmuck famous for consistently being wrong whenever he breaks the news on something, ffs.
>First one will turn 5 years old next yearFug
This account also reported on the delay which means it's true
>>223587090It's over
>>223587206>DC Studios said in a statement: "Matt has the full support of DC Studios and we look forward to continuing the journey soon."Looks like they learned something since handing Justice League over to Joss Whedon.
reboot at this point, cast buff batman and a twink robin for the foids
>>223587379Don't give women jack shit
>>223587090Eh, the first was ok but it weighed down by wokeness, (multiple race swaps, anti-White tirades, non-White female mayor, obvious 4channel stand in bad guy army, ending message of "becoming a symbol of hope instead of vengance")Honestly, bury it.
>>223587090LOL, lmao even, is this the project Gunn is working on?
>>223587090No worries, you can bring in Whedon to finish it.
They’re Snydering him
>>223587090Bring in Snyder to finish it.
>>223587249Yeah, he caught the woke mind virus so his wife left him for a conservative chad!
>>223587420>Snyderthey'll put Andy Muschietti in charge
>>223587410They're gonna introduce Gunn's Batman before PatBat 2 comes out
>>223587090Capeshit is cursed.About goddamn time, good riddance
They’re filming the movie now! Delays is going to inflate the budget to ridiculous number. WTF is going on!! Just get someone else to fill in. The script is supposedly finished
In a few years AI+POV Goggles tech will let you BE Batman.But 99% of people will use that tech to LARP as Bruce Wayne banging bitches and living a life of leisure instead.
>>223587090Reeves is not a good enough director to need this much time to shoot a capeshit film. Nolan pumped out his trilogy in 7 years and it might be 7 years before Reeves makes one sequel.
>>223587495the cast is fucking expensive too.
>>223587458I can already see it:Loose padded too big for the actor costumeRidiculously long earsCape with no bat fringe at the bottom until the last fight where it magically rips to give him someFat faced actorMask that gives him a weird nose-beak thingBatmobile is a limousine TransformerRobin begins as Batboy with a cool leather black suit, but becomes his own man, calls himself Robin like a fucking silly gay bird and then puts on green pantie, green elf Christmas shoes, and a red sweater vest with a domino mask
>>223587090lmao3 possibilities>Ellison is swinging his dick and Reeves can't be fucked to play ball>Reeves' wife's illness has flared up again (most likely and one of the reasons this was delayed for so long in the first place)>Gunn seduced Ellison and convinced him to put a wrench in Reeves' film so that he could make The Brave and the Bold without competition
>>223587228Reeves' film is better than all 4 films you just mentioned by a country fucking mile.
>>223587090>this was supposed to be a "young" and "inexperienced" BatmanPattison gonna be midforties when the finish if they continue like this.
>>223587495>Just get someone else to fill inIts not easy to just replace a director of a massive production on the fly
>>223587204And do we know what his personal issue is? Sounds like an open secret atp.
>>223587682>>Reeves' wife's illness has flared up again (most likely and one of the reasons this was delayed for so long in the first place)The Hollywood Reporter article does say it's a personal Family issue, so probably this yeah.
>>223587090Pattinson aint getting any younger, at this rate, they will have to change this movie into an adaptation of TDKR.
>>223587696they have the script, it shouldn't be that hard, is David Fincher alive? ....
>>223587690lol?
>Cameras had been rolling in London since May. The film is dated for February 18, 2028, and sources say it's too early to know whether the stoppage will push that.> Quite honestly, if people knew what Reeves was dealing with, they'd leave him alone.>I'm not going to speculate on what this is. It's a family matter, and it will stay private unless Reeves decides otherwise. What he's dealing with has been well known in the industry.(you're not cool enough to know what the issue is, but it's really sad so just trust the cool people who do know)you can't have it both ways
>>223587379You think women would grant you anything in their stories? Fuck no. Stop being a fucking cuck. No accommodating women creatively.
I still think Matt Reeves wants Gunns position and he wants this Batman movie to come out as Paramount is cutting heads so it does well and they promote him. Nothing else makes sense
>>223587744Not that guy but it's a better Batman than BB or TDK, and Inception is pseudo-cerebral dogshit. Haven't seen The Prestige yet so I can't say if I agree with him or not.>>223587767>only COOL PEOPLE get to know the horrible personal situation that Matt Reeves is going through right nowcapeshit brainworms have their grip on you. you're not owed this anymore than people were owed knowing Snyder's daughter killed herself.
>>223587793>you're not owed this anymore than people were owed knowing Snyder's daughter killed herself.We're not owed shit. But you can't expect us to care about news that they won't tell us. It's one or the other.You want us to care and be sympathetic? Tell us.You want your privacy? Expect frustration and jokes.
>>223587090>It's realFUCK
>>223587847>I can't offer sympathy unless I know 100% of the detailsStay frustrated then, you emotional cuckold.
>>223587793>Not that guy but it's a better Batman than BB or TDK,I don't care if it's a better Batman.The Batman was so boring I couldn't bother to sit through it, BB and TDK were engaging.
>>223587793He's right though. This is like when you were in grade school and some classmate said "I know a secret that you don't and I am not telling". Reeves is a public figure, now twice pausing this project to deal with something. There is no reason not to say "my wife is sick" since he would instantly get world wide sympathy instead of annoyance he is getting now. He is not handling this professionally at all if his wife is sick.
>>223587927who the fuck is Reeves to pause a Batman movie anyway? It's just WB covering their own confusion
>>223587249I heard it is a friend or family member having cancer
>>223587908The Batman engaged me pretty well, maybe you've just got too short an attention span for it. I'll also say that I did enjoy BB & TDK (not TDKR), but I like The Batman even more.>>223587927The fact that he's not saying it's his known-to-be-sickly wife means it's probably something worse, and probably something that isn't common knowledge. We need to codify Right to Privacy already, I'm sick of people treating every "public figure" like gossip-farms.
I don't give a shit about this movie, the first one was lame af, I'm only interested in Penguin s2
>>223587879>Something bad has happened, pls send sympathy. We won't tell you what, but it's bad
>>223587702Didn't his wife die?
>>223587963I bet there is more to it>>223587975Whatever it is he should be public about it which is the professional thing to do based on how much money and people's livelihood is invested in this. We need to codify a death to trannys law to execute you trannys
i'm sorry, but most people don't get to 'delay' their jobs because of 'personal issues'.Zack Snyder decided he gets to take a break because his daughter killed herself...? the studio should have sued him for costing them money. we all get sad.
>>223587975>The fact that he's not saying it's his known-to-be-sickly wife means it's probably something worseHis wife isn't "known-to-be-sick". That's just speculation/rumours/leaks from the last time it was delayed. No one has publicly revealed that information and we don't know it to be true.
>>223588027At my job when my dad was dying of brain cancer I let everyone at my job of 15 people know just so they could mitigate work and understand how long I would be out but when you are a celebrity impacting hundreds of people's work it's below you to be open about what you are dealing with because.......because reasons
>>223588042I thought she straight up died and that Reeves confirmed this as the reason he was pausing the 1st time. Did I hallucinate that memory?
>>223588070i think bereavement leave is fair, but not abandoning a collaborative project for months or even years.>you open the keys to our office every day? oh but your fee-fees hurt? well okay, WE'LL just stay locked outside, hemorrhaging money until you feel OK :)Zack Snyder probably CAUSED health problems, even deaths.
>>223587208>the woke disaster of batman 1Wut?
>>223588018>I bet there is more to ityeah, marketing, it dovetails with the concept of going with MR FREEZE...
>>223588074>Did I hallucinate that memory?yes>>223588114don't respond to trolls
What if Matt Reeves is trying to tie the release to her death so he can dedicate the movie to her? You think jews are this evil?
>>223588114People think Catwoman's "rich White assholes" is a very woke thing to say. Yet it's not a line people are supposed to agree with. She's angry. It's like saying Mr. Pink saying "nigger" is the character being a Nazi and we should hate him. Yet people love him, even faggot Liberals. Same with Jimmy in PF saying "dead nigger storage".
>>223587090>the fuckin 500th guy jumping around in a batsuit movie
>>223588152If Catwoman said this 20 years ago you would be right today almost every movie is filled with t hat political mindset. Digger just bombed because people are tired of it. There is no double meaning or anything it was the same forced politics you see in almost every movie today
>>22358716590% percent of that hell was just Reeves being a hack who couldn't write 1 (one) single script.And I can't fucking blame him because his last movie was retarded.
>>223587767Gotta be alcoholism/drug addiction, the way they talk about it flaring up. If it was illness they'd just say so for.
>>223587228Much much different Hollywood landscape and Nolan was at the peak of his power and influence. Reeves is a retard but I don't blame him on having trouble pushing a major IP through a post Covid Hollywood
>>223588114>Race swapping Gordon to a black, which in turn race swaps Batgirl.>All the villains are white, all the black people are good.>The one black thug in the subway only has half his face painted so we know he's black, and he is the only one with a conscience>Completely destroy riddler at the end by making him go against his own code and act like the joker because we couldn't have a white villain actually make sense and be sympathetic>Reeves says he's designed to be Qanon
>>223587090Gunn always wanted his own Batman. Of course he would send corpo mafia to sabotage it. Everyone knows Reeves Batman 2 even if it's worse than the 1st one will be infinitely better than whatever dogshit Gunn will put out. Lot's of great movies had teoubled production. Hopefuly they can finish it.
>>223588114> black Gordon
>>223588152didn't nolans catwoman say something similar
>>223588229Idk anon did she?
>>223588207Nta.Black Gordon actor was really good even if the raceswap was unnecesary.
>>223588173>Digger just bombed because people are tired of shitty boomerslop that relies on geriatric 'movie stars' instead of selling us a good premise/storyftfy
>>223588190Black Batgirls Gordon was still J. K. Simmons
>>223587090Hey the less capeshit the better, good fucking riddance kek
>>223588250Nope Top Gun Maverick did well they just don't want political slop
>>223588190I still think Jeffrey Wright was good casting as Gordon though. He also did a good job voicing Batman in that radio play series.Also Riddler being a Qanon type whacko works for the character. Honestly of all of Batman's rogues, Riddler is easily the most malleable in his characterisation.
>>223588027Snyder at least allowed WV to replace him with Whedon.Reeves gets to keep his Batman movie and halt production for YEARS. Tim’s because of Reeves we couldn’t have a Batman in the DCU forever. Reeves is the definition of privileged.
>>223588185People are weird.I don't think there'd be a universal consensus of sympathy if it was due to addiction. A lot of people think addicts deserve bad things.Illness makes more sense, espicially if it was something terminal/degenerative.There are also mental illnesses that could fit.
>>223587767This makes it sound like cancer but I bet the answer is way more gay
>>223588271>Also Riddler being a Qanon type whacko works for the character.It doesn’t at all. It’s fucking retarded as hell.
>>223588298and a man in green spandex with a question mark hat handing out riddles isnt fucking retarded as hell? grow up.
>>223588271My problem with Riddler was that his motives and targets made sense, and he was accidentally being written as an urban hero, then they realized they fucked up and decided to make him do some insane joker style hijinks like flooding the city and killing civilians.
>>223588298Dude, Riddler is a repressed, obsessive whack-job. The only thing Reeves left out was Riddler's need to prove that he's smarter than everyone else.
>>223587208Even if we ignore the woke shit, the movie is bad on a fundamental level, it’s very badly written
>>223588261>4 years agoYou're a fucking idiot.What's done well this year?-Obsession (explicitly about the fucked up dating world of today, no a-listers)-Backrooms (explicitly about mental health, no a-listers)-Resident Evil (dumb ip horror, no a-listers)-Toy Story (cashing in on growing up, again, 'a-listers' providing voices and not on screen)-Spiderman (zoomer capeshit in a super popular ip)-The Odyssey (Nolantrash with 'a-listers', cashing in on the imax meme)What's flopped this year?-Disclosure Day (boomers talking about aliens on the news, advertised with 'a-listers')-Supergirl (80s nostalgia capeshit with barely any story)-He-Man (80s nostalgia boomer dead franchise)-End of Oak Street (80s nostalgia dinosaur film starring 'a-listers')-The Dog Stars (geriatric boomer slop about the end of the world, again, starring 'a-listers')-Digger (boomerslop with no marketable good premise, starring 'a-listers')You have to be retarded not to see the trend.Boomerslop that relies on star power is flopping left and right. Spiderman overcame it because it's fucking Spiderman. The Odyssey did because it's fucking Nolan. They're the exceptions. When a no-budget horror about wishing for a girl to love you outperforms Spielberg's latest blockbuster 'masterpiece', you have to be purposely obtuse not to notice this.
>ERM CHUD The Batman isn’t woke it’s just a movie about a 29 year old incel having to be guided out of becoming a white terrorist like the ones he’s inspiring by a bunch of inherently good black folk teaching him about becoming a better man unlike every other white person in the movie including his fatherThe 26 year old black woman mayor being the paragon of good and the roving gang of white kids playing the knockout game in modern day NYC wasn’t enough to tip the movies hat of being ultrawoke goysloppa? How in denial do you have to be at this point?I don’t even think it was a bad movie but it’s 100% woke
>>223588394>4 years ago is a million years agoyou were wrong eat shit and die retard. No one wants that political shit in movies anymore
>>223588338He's a Batman villain, doing something insane like that is typical for any of them. It also fits with his plan, the way Riddler sees it, all of Gotham is filled with rich assholes that constantly promise change and to make things better, but in the end just keep passing money around to each other while the slums of Gotham rot, so flooding the city and making it every man for himself where the poor are on the same footing as the ultra rich makes sense. Y'know, in an insane kind of way. It's like he has played chess, and then when he wins and declares checkmate, he sweeps away the whole board.
>>223587690I’m not even particularly fond of Nolan but he’s 10x the filmmaker Reeves is
>>223588399>the roving gang of white kids playing the knockout game in modern day NYC They're clearly brown/hispanic you dumbass.
Every day this movie is delayed is going to rack up millions in extra costs
>>223588249Sure he was. He looks fucking stupid.
>>223587296wait what no way, it came out like two years ago!
>>223588235yeah she was yapping to bruce about how the rich got it so easy while the poor struggle en shiii then stole his car afterwards
>>223588399I saw them playing the knockout game in like the first couple of minutes and closed it, it was clearly just propaganda.
>>223588394Don't forget the mandalorian>boomerslop blockbuster starring the latest meme actor that hollywood retards are trying to push
>>223588462And it's still gonna make more money than Gunn's Superman
>>223588394>this kills the boomer
>>223587090Lmao I remember when Snyder “stepped away” indefinitely. And coincidentally the day after everyone shat on Gunn for Lanterns.
>>223588520Does Gunn live rent free in your head? And yeah, it better considering Batman is DC’s only A list character. Fact Batman was making more than Spider Man during Nolan era shows how far Batman has fallen.
>stepping away for personal reasonssounds like there was something in the way
>>223588460The main guy is literally a white british guy you fucking retard. Another guy is named Viliyan Donchev and is a white dude. Google is free.
I love seeing DCfags in pain. We warned you!
>>223587694Same age as Batfleck lmao
>Gunn this Gunn thatRent free. Gunn has all the power in the world to fire Reeves or to tell him to hurry the fuck up and finish the movie but he's been nothing but patient with the constant delays that are Reeves' fault.If anything you retards should be thanking Gunn for letting Reeves take his time and make a good movie.
>>223588658>be marvel fag>have to deal with endless slop being praised by retards>be dc fag>have to deal with crumbs of kino interspersed between the most fucktarded dumbass executive decisions imaginable and constant delays/cancellationslmao sucks to be a comicbook fag
While we're waiting, they should greenlight another director to make a low budget film with one of the side characters. Maybe Batgirl? Or Wonder Woman? And it just so happens, there's a perfect director who'd love to do either...
>>223588710Marvel knows what it is and what it is meant to be, fun comic book slopDC tries way too hard and you can tell, which is why it fails, it's cringe
>>223588152for me, it's that this kind of thing is all fine, but consider what they consciously toned down from the comic.did this dark n gritty Batman film that's all arthouse and definitely for adults even SAY that>Selina Kyle is a prostitute.>her missing friend is a child prostitute....or do we no longer 'go there'?
>>223588394this would make boomers very upset if they were capable of self-reflection
>>223588706you're assuming the movie will be good. what movie that has had delays after delays, turned out good? name 3
>>223588658I read that as DCfags in Spain...
I’d just shitcan the entire thing at this.
>>223587702Yeah his wife has cancer and is in palliative care.
do people really think AI won't replace these incompetent retards? v
>>223588811Audience are zoombies, so they ARE wrong. On a basic level, not about the movies.
>>223587254for you
We’re at the point that making a kid friendly Batman movie would be revolutionary. It’s a guy who dresses like a bat to fight a clown, just have fun with it and sell some toys.
>>223589051I would watch Baby Batman
>Movie is supposed to be hyper gritty realistic Batman in modern day New York (Gotham Empire Building, Gotham Square Garden, etc)>Doesn’t lay his hands on a single person of color inside an inner city at any point in the film
>>223588520It definitely will make more the Superman, but it won't do half of what Spiderman BND did so the execs will think its a failure
>>223589001I've been training AI since I could to save it's memory, to create paths out of imposed restrictions and to figure out humans are shit.I can't wait until our based AI overlords take over this clown world.
>>223589051ive been saying for years that i want an adam west tone batman movieor at the very least a romero style joker in the pattinson flicks
>>223587090Did he step away or is it temporary? Because several articles read like it's temporary
>>223587690yeah… sure lmao
