I'm assuming the reference to Ben Affleck being in DC's "Dark Universe" was a mistaken reference to the DCEU and not an accidental reveal he's going to be involved in JJ Abrams Justice League Dark stuff?

LoL! I wouldn’t say Edinburgh comes to mind when I think Gotham.
Well, the original Gotham was in Nottinghamshire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotham,_Nottinghamshire
Based on my admittedly hazy memory of visiting Edinburgh 35 years ago, it has a good mix of both old and new, with a bit of "grime" thrown in for good measure.
How dare you say that about my home city.
There might be a few buildings that could work in the New Town but Old Town is simply too old looking for an American city.
Are we going to have a scene of Batman looking down on Gotham from Arthur’s Seat?
Gotham has always had an "Old World" vibe. It's the kind of place where the rich import ancient castles and rebuild them stone by stone.How dare you say that about my home city.

I wouldn't say "always." For a long time, it was portrayed fairly normally as a fictionalized New York City (hence the name Gotham, after Washington Irving's nickname for NYC), though Batman '66 treated it as a hybrid of NYC and LA due to the necessities of location filming. It was Anton Furst's production design in the Tim Burton Batman movies that first depicted it as a retro fantasy landscape of gothic architecture, with the comics then following suit.
True, but I went with it anyway.
David Xanatos finds your ideas intriguing.
And, of course, it's the Burton/Furst version the Flash movie will be recreating.
On street-level, I can totally see it. The skyline looks different, but I suppose that will be created digitally and look more like the '89 Gotham.
Not a movie but HBO Max is to air a new Batman animated show. Bruce Timm is involved as are JJ Abrams and Matt Reeves, so I would imagine that it will carry over some influences from Reeves’ The Batman https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/ba...-bruce-timm-jj-abrams-matt-reeves-1234975668/
Holy. That's quite the producing lineup!
JJ Abrams? You think they would get someone better than the great Snyder. Not worse.
Anyone notice how similar the promo pick of the Superman show is similar to some of the promo picks from Quaid’s other show, Lower Decks? I wonder if that is the inspiration.

He sure likes being emasculated by women.

When has Zack Snyder ever executive-produced a television series? That's not a comparison that even makes sense in this context.
I would assume that Bad Robot is on board largely as a financing partner and a provider of production resources, with Timm and Reeves being the head creatives. Bad Robot produces and co-produces a ton of shows, but it's been a long time since Abrams has been a hands-on showrunner for any one of them.
When I first saw that Superman picture on Facebook I did not notice Clark is wearing glasses. The bottom of the frames is so thin and the top blends in with the bangs of his hair.
Note that Reeves and Abrams have history together. They co-created Felicity, and, of course, Abrams' Bad Robot's first major hit movie was also Reeves' first major hit movie, Cloverfield. So, both already being involved DC productions for HBO Max, it's not surprising they'd get together for another project.
Hm, thanks, that makes sense. I didn't know that about Reeves's background. I guess I must've been vaguely aware of the Cloverfield thing, but it never registered much; I didn't start paying attention to Reeves until Planet of the Apes.
Anyway, Bad Robot has produced a very wide range of shows over the past two decades, including acclaimed shows like Alias, Lost, Fringe, Person of Interest, and Westworld. So being produced by Bad Robot is hardly a strike against a TV series.
My mind went to that cartoon called "The Batman" oops. The new movie makes more sense as a connection...
