Movie: The Batman (Battinson)

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It’s going to suck. It’s going to try way too hard to be its own thing and ppl will be like “I just want a normal Batman movie ffs”

[epilogue]

Standing by my original prediction that this is going to suck.

what evidence have you seen so far of suckage?

I dunno that last trailer showed some promise

One thing I've noticed about this release cycle, in contrast to the last time there was a live-action standalone Bats movie, is that I feel no personal investment in this thing being good. Back then, it felt real high stakes for me whether I liked a Batman movie or not. I guess that was 10 years ago now so it makes sense that it doesn't feel the same anymore

Now imagine being in your 40s and caring about Captain Marvel

I don't know if my own personal investment in this is any higher or lower than previous bat-films. But I do think this movie looks interesting and I'm very excited to see it.

I may be in Austin next weekend. We should go see it.

Only if we can sneak in without paying.

Ehhh, I don't know about that. Let me think.

I got kicked out of the theater once for sneaking into Gigli. Not worth it.

[Ms Harmless]

so far this looks like the first interesting Batman since Tim Burton's

Since they closed down the ticket booths and moved buying tickets to the concession stand, you can just walk right in. It's great.

Batman Returns is tremendous.

apparently this has a lot of brooding in it

Burton > All other versions of Batman

I just don't like Keaton as Batman in those movies.. I like the tone though.. should've been johnny depp or nic cage

Keaton might not be the best Batman, but he's the best Bruce Wayne.

keaton's only good role was beetleguise

Somebody's never seen Multiplicity

I actually really liked Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne but his movies were not good as a whole. I didn’t like that version of Batman.

just watched multiplicity recently and... nothing about those performances was fun to watch

[bada]

Mr. Mom.....Johnny Dangerously....Gung Ho....he's been a made man since the mid-80s as far as I'm concerned.

[epilogue]

Yeah, Keaton is a fantastic actor.

I'm not saying he's a bad actor, I just don't like his flavor
