The Batman Part 2 - Page 2

**Barkworm** · 09-06-2024, 01:30 PM

No no no, four were good. The Adam West Batman was the first Batman anything I ever saw so that's the best. To me.

Also, Affleck was good enough even without a solo film. The Martha meme might have hurt him but a lot of the rest was some of the best live action Batman there is.

I also like Affleck for his hilarious acting in that STUPID Martian Manhunter scene in the Justice League epilogue when MM goes "YOU CAN CALL ME..." and Affleck is like "Whatever!".

Was Batman & Robin one of them?

Of course not but has anyone seen Batman and Robin lately? If you treat it like "The Room" or "Samurai Cop", it's a fun watch. Clooney is really bad in it though, his acting in the 90s was often very one-dimensional and this is probably the best example for that.

I am sure with an excellent script Kilmer, Clooney and even Pattinson could been equally excellent Batmen. They didn't get it.

**Barkworm** · 09-08-2024, 07:54 AM

But then, which Batman film had a really good script? Even the better films had uneven scripts. The Dark Knight is the only one that comes to my mind that was great for the most part and even that one has its flaws.

For me? 89 and BB. And TDK wasn't bad either.

To me, Clooney just made Batman look like a cool dad...like what Batman Beyond Bruce would look like if he were a lot happier.

From Matt Reeves:

“I can tell you that we’re gonna be shooting this year and that we’re excited about it. What I’m excited about is I feel like we’re doing something that absolutely continues where the story came from, but is something that I hope people are going to be really surprised by.”

Oh, so they're going to actually make it good this time? Because that'd be pretty shocking after the last one.

What exactly didn't you like about it? Almost ever review of the film seems to be overwhelmingly positive.

*ZariusTwo* · 01-08-2025, 02:37 AM

The Batman for some reason has a divided fanbase. Some love it, and some think it's an inferior movie that goes on too long with unlikeable leads, an easily solvable mystery for the audience, and has 15000 endings.

Just going down the line...

* SUUUUPER boring. And pretentious.

* Awful, dumb script. And I don't mean "dumb" like "what a DUMB script" I mean it is lacking intelligence. It replaces any kind of smarts with a guessing that we will be so taken by silhouettes of Batman in shadows brooding around that we won't mind.

* A Batman veritably by Wish™, after we already had a grounded enough Batman in the Nolan trilogy. And again, I was busting out in laughter when Batman blew up his $300 Amazon squirrel suit on the rooftop and jumped off, looking completely ridiculous.

* Use of the Riddler, with riddles that didn't take much/anything to solve. "But we finally get Batman the detective in this!" Please.

* Brooding, weak Batman who seems ashamed of his place in society. And I was actually rooting for Pattinson. He didn't pull it off.

* Ridiculously ordinary Batmobile. Dom's muscle car in Fast & the Furious 1 24 years ago was more impressive than this thing, yet people are all like, "OOOOOHHHH!! AMAAAZZING!!!" Morons.

It's the only Batman movie I gave zero ****s to see when it was coming to theaters... and still have zero interest in watching today.

*Autbot_Benz* · 01-09-2025, 08:10 PM

I own The Batman on Blu Ray. I watched it once. haven't watched since I got it.

I watch the Burton/Schumacher Films more

I want Comic Book Batman enough with this realistic take on him nonsense

*DarkFell* · 01-09-2025, 10:54 PM

I would love to see a parody video for The Batman Part 2, but I know of this one from the first movie. Don't ever say that I don't share anything.

As for the latest Batman movies, they don't ring my bell.

Jesus Christ I’m gonna be an old man by the time this comes out

*frank_one* · 07-15-2026, 03:40 PM

6 years after the first one.

*Autbot_Benz* · 07-15-2026, 05:31 PM

I didn’t care for the first one so I will skip this

Mad Dog McMutt · 07-15-2026, 06:29 PM

Is it even possible to come up with a less creative name than The Batman?

*CyberCubed* · 07-15-2026, 06:30 PM

That was the title used in the comics for many years. He wasn't just called Batman, he was called, "The Batman."
