Joker- I run this town now. First agenda. I need an advertising department to make stylish logos/imagery of me. Also book some time for me to film a commercial. Bob make sure to paint the cars in purple and green too
This is DEFINITELY trying to downplay Miller. And while I think Gunn has been sincere in a lot ofnwhat he says, I think his hype for Flash might be The Company Line, because as much as they want to re do things, Zaslav wants this movie to make a profit to counteract all the money that was spent (too much to do a tax write off)
Batman ‘89 I loved from ‘90 (had to wait a while to see it in the UK) to ‘99 or so. I didn’t watch it for years and then did around the mid-late 00s and thought it had aged badly. Then watched it again about four years ago and loved it again. And still do. Batman Returns is also very good.
Robert Pattinson, then? As a big multiverse clusterfuck event and a sequel coming it'd be the obvious choice.
I meant, we may see the actor, but not yet have an official casting announcement until after The Flash has been out for a week or so.
Are you implying he'd be the DC universe Batman with Damian AND Matt Reeves elseworlds Batman? The universe would implode.
At this point, I doubt we're going to get any returning or crossover Batmans besides the one's we already know about. Although I would love to see David Mazouz, Ian Glen, or Warren Christine show it. They all got very little or no screen time in the suit, so it might be fun to see the finally get to spend really play Batman.
There is nothing in The Batman that would make it incompatible with a wider DC universe. Just because Gunn (or others) have said The Batman will not be part of The New DCU (TM), doesn't mean that that has to be the case.
Do you want him to be? He wasn’t a particularly interesting Batman. Only thing I liked was his Bruce Wayne portrayal
I think 2023 Clooney would be entirely different to 1997 Clooney. And the key would be the complete absence of Joel Schumacher. However, I can’t see Clooney returning.
I like The Batman, but I don't think it is a matter of want--we're just speculating on who the new (or old) Batman is going to be.
I always felt he was a much more plausible casting choice in the role than his predecessors or indeed his successors. He had the square-jawed look, he could do Billionaire Bruce Wayne's debonair swagger as well as anyone, and he's shown in other roles that he's capable of the necessary intensity and gravitas. So I would've loved to see him get another chance at the role with a better script. (Full disclosure, though, I'm a bit biased because my father knew his father, Nick Clooney, who was my favorite local TV news anchor when I was growing up.)
