    I think whenever people say they don't like Ben Affleck's Batman they are talking about the writing rather than Ben Affleck himself, it's kinda like Henry Cavill as Superman they don't dislike Cavill they just hate the writing.

      @inyourelilsistersass5554 I agree Zack Snyder was a terrible choice for DC, he has come out and said that he hates superhero comics only liking stuff like Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns. But Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill weren't bad choices they were clearly trying to make this godawful material work, I'm hoping in the near future they can come back and play Batman and Superman again with better material.

    *Ben Affleck is a pretty damn good actor. His performance as the cape crusader was fine for the most part, but the problem that his character was so horribly written.

    Loved the idea of a “broken” Batman. One who lost his way as alluded to by Alfred a few times. We’re led to believe that he didn’t always kill, and wasn’t always such a loose cannon, but 20 years of broken promises, losses, and betrayals made him into the Batman we saw in BvS.
    I agree it was the material that let Ben down, but the biggest issue is he didn’t get a solo movie before BvS. Imagine seeing a solo film where Robin is alive and is Batman’s last thread to his moral codes. We see Robin killed by the Joker in the climax and Batman looses it. Then in the post credits scene we see the opening of BvS with Bruce running through the Metropolis wreckage. That would have set the audience up for a better understanding of where this Batman is at come BvS , and would give characters like Gordon more screen time.

      @@ryankeefe2102 Some people would have been mad, but Robin getting killed by Deathstroke would have set the tone and also made his death and Bruce's head space make a bit more sense. Because why would this Batman not have killed the Joker after he killed Dick Grayson, when he has zero problems with killing. In BvS he stops himself from killing Superman with the intention being that he was realizing that he was becoming just like Joe Chill by breaking his no kill rule. Yet minutes afterwards he kills at least half of the people in that warehouse.
      It's not that I can't accept that you have a Batman who doesn't have the no kill rule, The Batman is actually the first live-action version in modern times that establishes that he never goes that far. The problem however is, it makes no sense why he would let the Joker live in this universe. Or why was it okay to kill a bunch of Lex's thugs, but not Lex himself? I know Snyder's argument is he won't go out of his way to kill people, it's more that he accepts that collateral damage during a fight including death is part of the job, a sort of cop or solider mentality to being in a combat scenario. Yet he's got a guy nailed to a wall at the end of the fight and it's implied he kills him for stabbing him. Then instead of shooting KBG's hands like what happens in the dark knight returns, he shoots the tank and blows up the room.
      And I am saying all this as a huge Batfleck fan who while I really do love The Batman, the biggest disappointment is that we are never going to get the Batman VS Deathstroke movie. When written at his best, he's the closest we have gotten to Bat-god, the man who you understand why even though he's not the leader of the Justice League, everyone looks for him to strategize in battle. Often to find out he has given himself one of the hardest jobs in secret. Still holding out hope that one day DC decides to let them do it as an animated movie, maybe even finish out the original plans for the Justice League. The normal budget for the movies they are making now is about 5 million from what I've heard, give it 10 million and there are enough Snyderverse fans to make a small profit from doing it.

      @@DanielTorres-pw8il Are you seriously suggesting that people need an origin movie for Batman and Superman? Even people who haven't seen the movies, shows or even read the comics knows the basic origin.
      People barley want origin movies for characters that they know nothing about because the formula became too repetitive. So they have started to find clever ways of starting their stories in the second act of their life. With some origin sprinkles to get you caught up.
      The DCU is going to have to eat crow no matter what for it's first phase in terms of box office. It won't be until they show that they can release quality movies and shows in a row for the first part of the Gods and Monsters act that they will actually start to hit the respectable 700-800 million dollar range maybe by the end of it. Brave and Bold might hit 700 dollars but that is just because it's Batman.
      And I say this as a hardcore DC fanboy who have enjoyed a lot of what DC has done in the last 10 years. But recognize that they fumbled the ball in a way I didn't think could be possible considering all they had to do was slam dunk inside a hoop that was the same height as a toddler.

      Snyder gave him a very shallow portrayal. I usually don't like referring to other videos, but The Closer Look gave by far the most comprehensive break down on what was wrong with Snyder's Batman: he doesn't exude enough of Batman's best characteristics to justify the character as Batman, appearance not withstanding. His compassion and intellect (like holy shit how do you fuck this up) just didn't receive enough justice, even though they're such integral parts ti his character. Then of course, Snyder's complete disregard for his moral code. Look, you can make your own version of grimdark edgelord Batman and have it work, but you need a damn good fucking reason beyond "muh realism muh edgy tone". Frank Miller's Batman stories worked because he handled this aspect of the Bat with the gravitas and respect it deserved: if you're going to make Batman kill someone, make it fucking matter. Don't just say "dude he went through sone shit bro" and have him mow down droves of petty criminals just to look cool, you need show the audience the justification for getting him to that point. Literally one of the most important rules to good fiction is "show, don't tell".

It's why he makes the comment to Alfred that, for the first time in his life, he is going on faith. This shows comment was really meant to cement the fact he was not the same Bruce we saw through most of BvS.

  • @mattcalloway6254
    @mattcalloway6254 Год назад +1

    For me he was the best Live Action Batman ever.
    What people forget is this is a Batman who has been the Dark Knight for 20 years and having gone through a lot of trauma and issues.
    He feels brutal like the Arkham Batman and sometimes even pulls off the poses and moves that Batman does in the comics and the Arkham Games.
    He has the best Batman Suit and was jacked. His combat ability is the best we’ve seen. He looks and feels like a Batman that is a master hand to hand to combatant. But he’s also flexible and moves like a superhuman, which helps to paint the idea of Batman being a supernatural creature that criminals fear.
    Yes he killed, but he’s not praised in universe for that. Which is exactly why he was treated as a murderous vigilante. But when he met Superman, he was inspired and became a better Batman (represented by how we see him working with the GCPD).
    He was unfortunately too old for a Batman starting the Justice League and starting a DC universe. But he was a brilliant adaptation of Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns.
    He wasn’t perfect, but he is the best Live Action representation of the Batman of the comics.

    @chriswilliams8159 Год назад +14

    Ben Affleck's portrayal of the character, I think, was by far the most peculiar version we got to see on screen, especially the one in BVS. His version does a great job in depicting how he has become morally corrupt after being able to make no difference whatsoever even after fighting crime for the past 20 years and has witnessed how everyone eventually becomes corrupt. The life of Batman has become nothing more than a mission that needs to be completed and he has allowed it to consume him almost entirely, a true hollow shell. More than using the cape and cowl to fight for justice, he uses it to blow off some steam because he's gotten addicted to beating the crap out of criminals, something that he truly seems to enjoy. He has hit rock bottom, hence the disregard for the life of thugs he fights. Poor character writing and messy script didn't do justice to the best Batman that never was.

  • @michaelgrotz5229

    @randallflagg3700 Год назад +3

    Nice video, IMHO Batfleck deserved a solo movie, even if I adored Battinson's "The Batman" I still wish get had gotten at least one Batfleck... the Deathstroke story was promising, and Slade looked badass.
    It could have also given Joker a chance to have a more flattering DCEU legacy than a butchered, messy cut of poor Ayer's Suicide Squad, and _one_ good scene in JL Snyder's cut.
    Based on that scene, I wish we could have seen more of Leto's Joker; just get rid of the face tattoos, he can keep the others but just like in his last scene in JL, just remove the ones on his face and I'm actually good with his design. Somewhat.
    Anyway, just a nitpick, but about Aquaman using Bruce's name in public...
    Hasn't it been established in the tavern scene that most of them don't understand English? Which is weird IRL, since almost everyone speaks English in Iceland, but well, it's a very remote village full of old timers, so it's believable that they don't interact with strangers often, and wouldn't have the need to speak English to do business or to welcome tourists, and it's the Earth from DC where countries like Kahndag and Vlatava exist, so other countries are slightly different.
    Plus, they're past the age of learning English via shitposting on 4chan, and binging a bunch of HBO shows
    (And sure, the name "Bruce Wayne" sounds the same no matter where you're from, but it's much harder to catch names when you're tuning your brain to "gibberish" instead of hearing it in a context that makes sense)
    And JK Simmons as Jim Gordon is in my top 3 reasons why I'm still bitter about *Batgirl* being cancelled. He is probably in a bunch of scenes, since his daughter is in the name of the movie...
    (and sure, Brendan Fraser as Firefly probably kicks ass... and reason 3, Killer Moth makes his second live action appearance in that film, and we can't watch it... dang it. It will eventually leak I suppose, but meanwhile I shall complain )
    Keep up the good work, Vee!

    Batfleck was brilliant. Too many people hooked up on Bale's batman still which in turn really affected the missed opportunity for us to see a batfleck solo film. Batfleck was much more angry, broken and twisted and less sympathetic towards anything. This was the batman we wanted to see from the comics. Bale had his version (which was also brilliant) and Afleck brought a new dimension to the Batman character that would have been brilliant to have seen in a solo movie. The 'fans' are to blame, its so hard for a movie do well regardless of how good it is, the 'fans' are as toxic as the critics now days and there seems to be a new culture of 'let's sabotage everything regardless' within the movie world. Its sad to see

    Ben's bat suit is basically the suit from the Dark Knight Returns comic by Frank Miller which is the reason why this version of Bats is so bulky, has smaller ears and a big bat symbol, hell he even does one of the iconic poses from said comic near the end of BvS when he's avoiding Doomsday's heat vision.

    They were trying to replicate the relationship between Barry and Bruce from JL/JLU, not any other bat-lationship. Aside from the fact that Wally was the Flash in JL/JLU, I feel like Zack wrote his Barry to be kind of an amalgamation of Wally and Barry.
    Also... the rec gun, grapnel gun, remote electrical charge gun... Batman uses guns.
    They may not shoot bullets... but Batman only uses a "bullet gun" in that one Knightmare scene. The rest of the time, its either a laser gun (against the parademons) or some kind of tracking device. I guess there was also the "kryptonite grenade launcher"... but that hardly counts as a "gun".

    I get the vibe that Zach Snyder wanted to have these characters BECOME who they're supposed to be. Wonder woman is a hermit, Flash is too jittery (but underconfident), Superman is brooding and untruthful of humans and... Batman kills and has lost hope in humanity. That's why I really liked the Snyder Cut, we finally got to see then mostly become who they're supposed to be.
