Maybe Aquaman 2 will be worth watching. I dunno, I think it looks fine. It's a low res video so I'm not going to pass judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSumm Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Super late to the party, but FUCK did I misjudge The Batman. Pattinson? All looks a bit emo doesn’t it? Do we need more confusion to the DC line up? Except, he’s the best Batman and this is the best Batman film ever. Quite comfortably for me. The second he walked on and started the monologue, my misgivings just melted away and he became MY Batman. Then Gordon walks him into the crime scene, and I suddenly realised how much I’ve missed him actually there, helping the police, solving crimes. So, so impressed. I’m wary of trying to turn this into a universe too quickly, but if they can somehow keep the quality and tone over multiple spin-offs and sequels, that’s really exciting.

Myrddin Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I love that they're letting a grounded Batman universe continue alongside a separate connected universe Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although now that I think about, on top of this, we have the Caped Crusader series that moved from HBO to Amazon. So that’s FIVE upcoming Batmans (Pattinson, Affleck, Keaton, Brave and the Bold, Caped Crusader). Which is … too many Batmans. I also didn’t know Matt Reeves was involved in Caped Crusader which seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also didn’t know Matt Reeves was involved in Caped Crusader which seems odd. Aside from future multiverse cross overs, Affleck and Keaton won't be in future movies past Flash (or maybe Aquaman 2?), so it's really just 2 live action Batman's moving forward. There should always be an animated Batman for kids too. Let's not forget the primary audience for superheroes (and merchandising...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 This is actually in the movie. I'm as concerned as anyone about crass commercialization and product placement in films. Still, there's something I admire about how naked and brazen this is. Plus the Unicorns are kind of awesome. And the sweet little girl befriending the big scary beastie. This pushes several buttons for me, actually. Nothing will top "Bud Light" in that transformers film though. <Chef's kiss> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently a pretty successful example of product placement. But that was kind of subtle. This was definitely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 What about the Subway product placement in the show Chuck which, I believe, eventually led to Subway pitching in to save the show from cancellation for another two seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derfel Cadarn Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) The ‘best’ has to be Heinekan (?) beer in Skyfall. The director must have been a bit pissed off though; first we see Bond drinking a bottle in bed, but his hand is covering the label, and then we see Tanner randomly drinking a bottle while in MI6!

lacuna Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Well, the last (and final) two times I ate Subway food, I got the squits, so I guess that lost me some weight... Fool me twice...

Jaxom 1974 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Everyone keeps touting this as being excellent...but I'm not sure I see it. I mean, Flash isn't really the star of his own trailer here...at least, that's the impression I have from it...for reasons, of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was decidedly Keaton. ETA: Speaking of Keaton... he looks like hes having a blast here. Edited April 25, 2023 by Rhom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same, Miller was grooming kids less than a year ago and somehow got away with it. A sick freak, if I’ve ever seen one.
