Is this part of DCU? DC doesn't know how to do shit
If they said Batman Beyond....but![]()
I'm hearing that WB forced the casting of Pattinson.... Reeves wanted Hoult .
The way they keep emphasizing that the choice was Reeves reminds me of when a exec over rules a manager but give him credit on the decision to not appear to be underminingPerhaps this was because Reeves had been wanting the actor for the part before Pattinson even knew he was up for it. The writer/director was impressed by his work in movies like GOOD TIME and HIGH LIFE, and it’s said he was “considered early in the process” to play this new take on the classic character..

And people shitted on Leto for joker.. and look how that turned out? They shitted on the little nerd kid for Lex Luther, and look how that turned out. They shit on Nick Cage for Superman, look how that turned out. They shit on Apocalypse csting and representation for XMen, look how that turned out..People shitted on Heth when he got cast for the joker and look how that turned out so I'll save my reservations for when the movie drops.
same shit happens every time - studio execs keep thinking about marketing in a genre where the characters are much more famous - more essential than movie starsAnd people shitted on Leto for joker.. and look how that turned out?

This is bad casting. Period.
Nothing about this emo anorexic waif says Batman/BruceWayne. 10-15 yars ago he could have been a decent Terry McGinnis. Thats about it.
before you can get a Heath Ledger performance - you need the Nolans. and studio keeping its hands off.. Also there was no pressure to break a billion at the box back then.People shitted on Heth when he got cast for the joker and look how that turned out so I'll save my reservations for when the movie drops.
the characters are much more famous - more essential than movie stars
Reeves started by saying he wanted to do a detective focused Batman - for 2 years WB rejected every script Reeves submitted
now there is no more talk about the detective, instead there are rumors of a gender swapped Penguin ...

Cue the Bat-signal.
There's going to be a new commissioner in Gotham City.
Westworld star Jeffrey Wright is in negotiations to play Commissioner Gordon, the classic ally to the Dark Knight, in Matt Reeves' The Batman.

Jim Gordon, depending on what stage career-wise the character is portrayed, is the police commissioner or a detective at the Gotham City Police Department and Batman's reluctant ally. In recent screen appearances, Gary Oldman played the role in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, while J.K. Simmons played the role in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Reeves will be directing from his own script for the Warner Bros./DC feature and will produce with his Planet of the Apes collaborator Dylan Clark.
The Batman is set for a June 25, 2021, release.
Wright has a busy fall ahead of him with the release of Steven Soderbergh's financial drama The Laundromat and Warner Bros.' adaptation of The Goldfinch. He is set for the next James Bond film, No Time to Die, and Wes Anderson's next outing, The French Dispatch
