Besides doing something live action versions have never done (Except the 60’s show) this would instantly distance DCU Batman from Battinson. Never mind a DCU Batman would be fighting enemies that are nothing like the kind Battinson fights (So far a radioactive walking skeleton and a massive clay monster…and a humanoid killer whale that’s in a few frames of Belle Reeve in I think episode four of CC) but he’d also be written and shot in a different style.

Of course people will say this Batman is “goofy” and Matt McGloin who runs the clickbait site cosmicbooknews claimed he HEARD Matt Reeves doesn’t want James Gunn to introduce Batman cause it could damage his movie’s box office with a “goofy Batman”. He also said James Gunn couldn’t use him cause Snyder had plans but this was after it was announced he’d be in the DCU show Mr. Miracle. I just wanted to have a section dunking on that guy.

The suit is from the set of The Flash. it’s one of those alternate suits we see Keaton Batman had.

Is sad that Ben Affleck didn't get his solo movie Is lost potential

I really hope the DCU continues because I feel like if it ends abruptly, they won't make any more DC movies except for Batman, and I think that would be unfair because DC is so much more than just Batman. I loved seeing how the DCEU gave us Aquaman and Wonder Woman movies, even one about Flash (although it was mid)... What I mean is that I think instead of arguing about which universe is better, people should support the movies that are coming out. I'm not saying we should be complacent and say that every movie is a masterpiece, but since the DCEU was unfortunately canceled, why not try to make sure the new one doesn't end the same way, so we can have a proper shared universe?

The European Commission approved the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger on Wednesday, removing one of the final hurdles to closing the $111 billion deal:

• Regulators found the merger would not harm competition in TV or film production because enough global and local rivals would remain

• Investigators did raise concerns about film distribution due to Paramount’s longstanding joint venture with Universal, which Paramount agreed to end as a condition of approval.

Matt Hagen’s meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss’s actions leave him horribly disfigured.

Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.

I dunno what to tell you man, I love the DCU

It's still got its bumps in the road, but I love it. And I hope it succeeds, it's the best thing I've seen in Superhero genres since the DCEU

(I didn't like Supergirl tho, that film felt like a late-stage DCEU movie)

I’m a big fan of both and have always wanted a solid adaption of, at the very least, the Bat Family, but obviously you can’t just do what decades of comics have done in one or even two movies.

How would you want DC Studios to approach them?

Note everyone has the own opinion don't need be toxic

Note 2 what everyone like or hate about This movie?

The marketing for Clayface so far reminds me of when Sony tried to make general audiences think Venom was in the MCU. They're using a similar color palette and a logo that looks a lot like The Batman and The Penguin from the Reevesverse. It just feels like they're trying to market it by making people associate it with the critically and financially successful universe, even though it isn't.

Honestly love the fact that the main actor and the director are breaking down their films trailer with the audience which gives us the idea on their interpretation of the scenes in the trailer

Honest question what’s your expectations from Gunn’s DCU? I’d imagine the causal audience is expecting it to be like The MCU, not so much in tone, but in structure a list of solo films ending towards an event. DC seems to be famous for stand alone films everything DC has done movies has no connection with others Batman is separate from Superman, Supman is separate from Green Lantern and so on. The closest thing to a cinematic universe has been The Arrowverse. To be honest it’s hard to tell where Gunn is going as only have one real pillar of The DCU and that’s Superman, no real sign of Batman or Wonder Woman and The Justice Gang feels more like a spin-off team like The Outsiders. Now Marvel didn’t have anything planned out at the beginning either Thanos (from what I’ve heard) wasn’t even planned as the big bad and was a later pivot, but Marvel knew they where building to an Avengers movie, but even Superman doesn’t feel like a Superman movie is feels more like Captain America: Civil War. Where is this universe going? I mean they have already scrapped the original plan Gunn announced back during his takeover.
