  • @BlaiseTighe
    @BlaiseTighe 3 года назад +110

    The DCEU as a whole was a jumbled mess, but Affleck’s Batman/Bruce Wayne and Jeremy Irons as Alfred was brilliant whenever they were on screen. I know that it’s different actors, different world and different gadget tech, but it still somehow felt like a spiritual successor to TDK trilogy. I think that’s what Zach was going for since he tried to recast Bale as Batman and got Nolan to oversee the direction. Affleck just looks the part more than anything I’ve seen put to film.

      DC/Warner shouldn't have gone vor apeing Marvel in the first place but should have used the multiverse concept to advantage and focused on single standalone movies, each one creating a world of its own.
      Marvel's sameness between movies, the soap opera approach was bound to burn out at some time and create superhero fatigue - at least SUPERHERO MOVIE UNIFORMITY FATIGUE.
      DC/Warner could easily have dodged that problem by playing the MULTI-verse concept to strength.
      DC movies have always been great at creating UNIQUE WORLDS instead of just characters in superhero suits.
      Superman's Krypton & Fortress of Solitude & shiny Metropolis, Batman's dark cave and sinister Gotham City, Aquaman's Atlantis, Wonder Woman's Themyscira, Shazam's Rock of Eternity ... - all of these worlds need their unique look which should always be reflected in the aesthetic of their respective movies.
      Don't throw away DC's strength over Marvel!
      Warner simply doesn't understand the unique appeal of DC WORLDS.

    I still think that Affleck was the best Bruce Wayne / Batman ever casted
    He has the balance of clean and sophisticated, but also rugged and war-torn. I think Affleck's personal life and mindset really helped solidify Bruce's persona and inner conflicts and deamons.
    I commend Ben for walking away, because if his heart wasn't in it, everything would have seem forced, and that's when you get all the cringe scenes in JL that Whedon added in.

      I couldnt agree more with you. From his physique to the fighting style. Intimidation to the age and character's personality. He didnt just play great batman, but also a great Bruce Wayne. Far better than Robert Pattinson. I like Robert Pattinson as an actor. He could be the grown up Harry Potter at max maybe, but definitely not a Batman. He looked like a Catman. Everytime i see the new Batman movie poster anywhere. I would get pissed off. no joke. The only reason why they love it so much is because these people dont read the comic or watch the anime or cartoon of Batman.

    While Affleck isn’t my favorite Batman, but he did a fine job with the material he was given. It’s a shame he wasn’t able to make his own Batman film as he’s a talented director and would likely been able to make his Batman better than we’ve seen already. But due to not getting the script the way he wanted it and his own personal problems happening, I see how this didn’t happen. Hopefully, he’ll be able to be Batman a few more times as long as he’s up to it as I’d rather he leave before he’s tired of doing Batman then continuing to play the part after the enthusiasm he had is gone.

Best costume for an onscreen Batman yet with an actor in the best shape yet, but still missing the mark...through no fault of Ben's. Doesn't help either that his personal life was in turmoil at around the same time.
      I'm sure Ben does love Batman. Kevin Smith has said as much. You know else loves Batman too? Geoff Johns. You know who else has written Batman too, in 3 full sized hardcover graphic novel length stories as well as on the Justice League series for over 4 years, as well as in numerous company wide event stories and guest starring appearances on other character's series? Geoff Johns again.

      @rover5058 Going into it, I was excited to hear they were taking a more crime thriller approach to Batman.But when I heard Matt Reeves was directing, I wasn't sure about the outcome.Wasnt a fan of his other films and he has a tendency to show he get bored cause I get bored while watching his films.i saw it a few times and think its overrated.The only thing I like about the film is the beginning, the I am the shadows.Thats about all I think they got right in this mess which many of the actors felt like they were overacting.Maybe they just should've got David Finch himself to direct.Im definitely NOT seeing the sequel!

The Theatrical Cut is bad and conversely feels longer than it's 2.5hrs. BvS UE is a better realization than the Snyder Cut of JL.

Warner NEVER put its weight and support behind them and today we are left without a proper foundation for the DCEU. A scrambled continuity. Characters dropped or recast. Brand new incarnations with every new movie. Reboots and retellings. This is all entirely the fault of Warner Bros and not Snyder Affleck orCavill..

    When Ben mentioned that the Tim Miller directed Batman/Deathstroke fight from Arkham Origins was EXACTLY what he was going for, and cast Joe Manginallo, AND the look of him... I just thought how effin 👌 it would be to see. Knowing we would see detective Batman, more of the frenetic energy of how Batfleck fights, the whole look and style of Batfleck of it... Seeing Slade take him apart...Maybe even John Cleese as Wintergreen... it was great seeing Joe again and Ben FINALLY meet Letoker in Snyders JL....
    Esai Morales did a great job in Titans but this REALLY sucks that we never got Ben's The Batman. I really hope that HBO Max ponies up the cash and we get a 3-4hr miniseries... We get a rogues gallery, more Jeremy Irons, more Joe, more JD Simmons...

      How could you come to that conclusion after watching Affleck say he lost his passion for it? he dropped out all on his own, WB was disapponted because they had spent years waiting for him to write the script and get ready to direct it. When he quit, he left them in the lurch, they lost all the momentum they had from the Snyder films, and it took another five years before they had a solo Batman movie.
      None of that was WB's fault, Affleck quit on them to go to rehab. WB wasn't the one who refused to cooperate, this was all on Affleck.

    When Affleck was first cast as Batman I was pissed for years, until Batman V Superman came out and the warehouse scene happened. It was one of the greatest Batman fight scenes of all time. Not better than all of Nolan's trilogy but it was single handed the best fight scene in any live action Batman film. After that Ben grew on me and I liked his cameos in the other films, I didn't think they were long enough. Than I heard he was making his own Batman film and I felt if it was like the Arkham Knight games and more like the warehouse scene and put it in like a Game of Death type setting where it was all fighting and 90% all Batman just fighting everyone he put in Arkham it would be incredible. The end boss would be of course Leto's Joker where they could finally be united and possibly have one of the greatest Batman films ever made. But then of course Warner Brothers step in and cancel everything and now we are getting a new Batman totally different and more of the same rehashed storylines with more flashbacks of his parents getting killed and just Things we have seen way too much already and everything I personally am really tired of. I think Robert Pattinson is an ok choice as a young Batman but as far as being excited for it I'm really not and could care less.

    Justice League talking with Lex Luthor was interesting, but it was done to set up Justice League 2, as we know know. So the original intention of that scene was to
    set up the stand alone Batman movie. That would have really cool to see Batman go up against Deathstroke! This was a huge blunder on Warner Bros. part.
    It's fine that Ben Affleck decided to not direct it, and Matt Reeves was hired to direct. He's a good director. Ben Affleck then could have focused on playing
    Bruce Wayne and Batman well. I don't care to see The Batman with Robert Pattenson. I'd rather skip it since it's not going be part of the DCEU.

    It really is disheartening to watch Ben’s passion and vigor for the project and his role in the DC movies fade over time. I’ve personally never understood the Ben Affleck hate, and it sucks to see his disappointment in something that would’ve been a great new direction for his career.

    Quite sad. When Ben was announced as Batman, myself like so many thought...yuk. He turned out to be my favorite version of Batman. It's sad he never had a solo movie. He was at best a co-star, and that is very unfortunate.

    Ben is "the Batman" until someone else comes along and replaces him. He's one of the best translations of Bruce Wayne/Batman from animated movies and comics and aced the character to the letter. Henry Cavill is also "the Man of Steel", until he's replaced. I hope The Batman can become a reality at some point

    Notice how we don't see videos on James Gunn cancelled Guardians of the Galaxy or Taika Waititi's cancelled Thor: Ragnarok.
    When Marvel wants to make a movie they make it. When DC wants to make a movie they sit on dozens of scripts until they find a director and then fuck with the director while he's filming the movie.
