I really liked The Batman, but I have a big gripe with DC (spoilers)

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Mar 7 '22, 08:05

You have a surprise $1.074 billion dollar Joker movie come out, and this latest Batman movie doesn't tie to it?

The overall feel, look and themes of these films complemented each other so well that you'd think it was the plan all along to have that Joker fight this Batman.

The only hang-up is that The Joker was had supposedly taken place around 1980, but that could have been cleared up with a scene in Arkham explaining how the Joke "thinks" he's in that time period but is delusional.

How does DC not at least get Todd Phillips and Matt Reeves into the same room to talk it through? How do Todd Phillips and Matt Reeves not talk to each other even without DC's involvement?

Plus, its pretty obvious what doctor in Arkham could have broken The Joker. It would have let fans see Harley Quinn in an actual good movie.

  - Joker always has been quite intelligent. Fleck.... was not. - Spawn Mar 7, 08:18
Matt Reeves wasn't interested in doing anything connected neither was Todd Phillips. -- nm - Remlik Mar 7, 08:07 15
- I think that's willfully ignoring reality by both of them. - Inigo Mar 7, 08:13 4
  - It really is the old way vs the new. And at this point, DC does not want to tie a new movie to an anchor that might drag it down. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 08:15 3
    - It was a billion dollar movie. It's not going to tie them down. (spoils) - Inigo Mar 7, 08:19 2
      - I suspect Reeves has zero interest in his Batman matching wits with that version. Especially after he just faced a Riddler of this caliber. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 09:00 1
        
        yup. And teasing Hush -- nm - Remlik Mar 7, 09:09
- It is a minor gripe of mine as well though. Spoils? - pmb Mar 7, 08:12 9
  - They've embraced the Multiverse concept. The one smart thing I think WB execs have decided recently is that there will be a 'core' set of films - Remlik Mar 7, 08:22 5
    - Except Reeves is making a trilogy. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 09:01 4
      - maybe. -- nm - Remlik Mar 7, 09:09 1
        
        Don't make me cut you. - Spawn Mar 7, 09:20
      - really?! - cool -- nm - mud Mar 7, 09:03 1
        
        I don't know many details other than he does NOT want Superman in them! -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 09:04
  - My other minor annoyances were (spoils) - pmb Mar 7, 08:14 2
    - I lived in Liverpool for a year - LMS Mar 7, 08:24
    - I think the movie could have been 20 minutes longer. There were a few things that could have been more fleshed out. -- nm - Spawn Mar 7, 08:16
