If that's the case then I guess I could understand. I just thought they were following a trend by adding "the" in the name like The Predator, The Karate Kid, and The Suicide Squad.

Just cancel it. Let Reeves go back and make more Apes movies... he was GOOD at that.

Didn't they say they wanted a young Batman? He's still the right age for batman but not a young Batman by any means.

How did the original do at the box office? Why did this movie get delayed so much?
I thought it was a hit, just not a huge hit, seems odd they're tripping themselves with their biggest money maker. Wether on the DCU or not doing something is clearly better than nothing.

So you can see footage of the Batmobile doing donuts in snow on the set. It's the same TEMU Batmobile from the last movie.

The guys who wear black turtle neck sweaters and go to coffee houses as a lifestyle all like "The Batman". They all coincidentally like emasculated, feminine men who scream bloody murder to show their anger as well.

Weird.

He's now older than Bale when he retired from playing Batman.

And when this comes out will basically be the same age as Affleck was when he made Batman v Superman, which was supposed to be a much older Dark Knight Returns-aged Batman. What a joke.

And its a carry-over from the Affleck version of the movie. It was going to be "The Batman." Reeves just kept the name.

To be fair Bale was also like 5 years younger when he began being batman when compared to pattison at least. He just looks younger. But yeah the whole Affleck is too old for our vision of the batman BS is ironic now.
Stillt his just shows DC doesn't know what to do, in a way they are no different than even before DCEU first first began (green lantern trying to be the first of a universe), just changing their plans. That same lack of focus is killing the current DCU, DC is basically the laughing stock again and that universe is what 1 year old?
