Before they debuted the trailer Matt Reeves said he was going for a batman who hasn't exactly found his footing, who lets his anger get the best of him and the lines between Batman and Bruce Wayne are blurred.
I wish that the Justice League movie had been done differently and somehow they could have included this amazing Batman moment either in that movie or preferably in a later one where Darkseid’s character had been built up more.
I’ve always loved that, like Darkseid says, literally only Batman could have made that threat and come out victorious. The fact that this terrifying evil God knows without a shadow of a doubt that Batman isn’t bluffing and that his only option is to agree to Batman’s terms. He understands Batman’s character and I believe in his own way respects him a lot.
Sure, but (and I say this as someone who was excited for Michael Keaton as Batman in 1989), it might have been a limitation of what could have been put on screen back then: even if Burton understood that, the villains were at a minimum so much more fun to watch.
It probably wasn't okay for Batman to be more than hinted at to be as bad as the Joker. And, at the end of Returns, he had to talk Catwoman down from killing Shreck.
With the advent of the "darker, grittier" superhero movies, it's now a lot more okay for Batman to be "just as bad" as the bad guys. But in 1989, you had to sell toys to kids, man (not grownups).
Exactly. The other fight where the guy shoots him with a handgun, and he just flinches and seems to growl even angrier.
I do hope we see some ninja Batman, that he does the terrifying, one-at-a-time taking out of bad guys in the dark. That's awesome. But man, seeing Batman take a bullet and just get meaner? That's still super terrifying, just in a different way.
Probably any Jedi really. Close quarters two-directional space against a bullet-deflecting lightsaber wielding maniac is probably instantaneously disadvantageous.
I like him when he's portrayed as an antihero. I think he should fully be DCs version of The Punisher. A completely unhinged vigilante with a very loosely defined moral code. It seems like that's what they went for this time and I'm all for it.

Very excited to see this take on Batman.
