Is the Batman '89 street set still up across the pond? I know they had it there for tours for a long time, and there's a 3D model of it up on 3D Warehouse
Ezra is set to plead guilty to the single charge of unlawful trespass on Friday. The deal means they will serve a 90 day suspended jail sentence, be fined $500, and will be placed on one year probation. The remaining two charges will be dropped entirely. Ezra Miller, ‘The Flash’ actor, reaches plea deal that avoids jail in break-in case
Similar charges have landed others (i.e., Joe Average) behind bars for months or up to a year, so no one should be shocked to hear anyone think Miller's celebrity status played a role in his light sentence.
Matt Reeves is to meet James Gunn and Peter Safran ‘to ensure that both universes “don’t crash into each other” in terms of storytelling.’ https://variety.com/2023/film/news/matt-reeves-sets-james-gunn-meeting-batman-2-batverse-1235488097/
I don’t see how they would. One is set in a very dull grounded universe while the other I assume will be more comic accurate. I doubt Thawne will be showing up in The Batman for instance.
You never know. Arrow started out as a grounded, gritty, street-level vigilante series without any superpowers or fantasy elements, but eight years later, Oliver Queen died battling demons on Earth-38, was reborn as the Spectre, and recreated the multiverse after the Anti-Monitor destroyed it. Although it does sound like in this case, the intent is to keep them in separate universes.
"So Matt, could you please not introduce Batgirl into your movies. Oh, and don't hire Henry Cavill to play any characters. Yeah, that'd be swell."
I don’t see how, unless Gunn has plans for a Batman story in the near future. Even if he does, it would be radically different, tonal wise.
I'm sure they're not worried about tonal duplication. I can't imagine Batman is off the table for Gunn's DCU.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they are discussing if it is possible to include The Batman in the new universe. I think that that would be a great idea--having tonally different movies in the same universe from the outset would go a long way to separating the DCU from the MCU.
The MCU has always had a range of different tones in its movies, not to mention its TV shows. I'd hardly say The Winter Soldier and Ant-Man are tonally equivalent, or Guardians of the Galaxy and Civil War.
Now I'm really disgusted and will certainly boycott the upcoming "The Flash" movie. I don't understand. Both the DCEU and the MCU had tonally different films within their universes.
There's nothing wrong with not wanting to put money in Miller's pocket nor with refusing to financially support WB's insanely long history of ignoring Miller's crimes in the hope that no one would notice.
One would assume that should not even be a possibility, since the Reeves film is operating under its own narrative conventions which are all too easy to avoid, considering the volume of Batman story sources one can choose to adapt or reference bearing no resemblance to the Reeves story universe.
Allegedly this is the WB/Discovery film slate Captain Planet?! A remake of Under Seige? Ben 10?! Also the courtroom verdict where Ezra Miller pleads guilty to a burglary case
