Re: The Batman film directed by Matt Reeves...again
I'm honestly pretty pumped for this (might go for a round of pic changing...). I've been going over his filmography for a while now, and he really is good. And honestly, I like that they picked a "leaner" guy. I see people like Hammer being tossed around all the time, but... Batman's supposed to be a Ninja. I know people love the BatTank, who's 6'4"+, has muscles for days and you crap your pants just by looking at him, but that's not Batman. I liked Batfleck a whole lot as a one-off, but Batman was always about precision points, sneaking around, all that jazz. How the hell is a 6'4" (hell, isn't Hammer 6'6" ?) guy built like a quarterback going to sneak around and tiptoe? His canon height of 6'1" or 6'2" or whatever is just fine. I'm not saying he should be Nightwing Tier, he should still be a Big Guy and intimidating, just that he shouldn't be Bane. Moon Knight is the guy you want if you're looking for a violent giant who tanks knives to the chest and growls as he crushes your balls. Besides, Gotham is really gonna start asking questions in such a case. How many built and giant rich boys who are never available in the day are there?
Which brings me to my next point. I'd like to see a more solemn Bruce this time. I'm not really a fan when they go all "oh, that silly Bruce Wayne, partying and then dropping his dates" with his persona. I prefer the serious businessman angle, who can be charming, crack a joke and whatnot, but not the completely tryhard facade that comes off faker than a Chinese bootleg. And Pattinson does have that sort of face, that can pull off the "tortured poet". I'm legit looking forward to this.
As for villains and whatnot, I'd like an Eyes Wide Shut style film with the Court Of Owls, but we'll never get that, so... I'll make due with what we get.
