The response to Batfleck has been so overwhelmingly positive I'm sure they want to speed it along because drat.

I wonder what kind of story could they tell with standalone Batman. Isn't he pretty much at the end of his career with this latest TDKR inspired story?

I assume it would be a prequel, like Wonder Woman will be. Probably tie in with story of Robin that was hinted at in BvS (which might also tie in with the Joker's story in Suicide Squad).

A setup movie for Batman Beyond. computer parts posted:He got a new lease on life at the end of BvS. It might also be a prequel, but I doubt it. I think it'd be neat if they did a story that involved a villain from his past returning so they could use flashbacks to show us "pre-MoS" Batman compared to older Batman and use the way Batman investigates the villain presently juxtaposed with the previous investigation to highlight how he's changed and/or corrected his crazy behavior.

"I don't know, this reads like a desperation move. Everyone is talking about how poorly BvS is doing and speculating how they are going to cancel everything, so they make this announcement to try and act as if they're okay with the response and everything is going to plan." - probably Devin Faraci or someone tomorrow

Corrected his crazy behaviour into... Much crazier, dumber behaviour? Since they implied in BvS that the heyday of Batman's career (with all the colourful, well known supervillains) is pretty much behind him, it would be nice if they made a movie about a slightly less famous (in movie circles) story, or had him straight up fighting gangsters.

I'd like to see a movie version of Penguin who's basically just a crime boss like he often is in the comics/video games. That way Batman can fight a somewhat eccentric villain but it would still be basically an organized crime story.

I'd actually say it's the opposite. My impression is he's been dealing with gangster and masked-up humans like the Joker or Two Face (i.e., the Nolan movies). Suicide Squad suggests that the arrival of Superman is bringing around a time of active super-freaks. We could get Poison Ivy, Clayface, etc.

He kept tabs on the underworld, but after whatever happened to Robin, he stopped doing the nightly Batman thing. Then Metropolis happened and starting Batmaning it up again, with branding this time to announce his return. Why else would the newspapers treat the branding stuff as like this new thing?

I'm saying my impression is that the style of villain he'd been fighting during his active career was more like the Nolan trilogy than the wilder supernatural stuff, which Suicide Squad suggests is now going to become more of a thing.

I have no confidence that Clayface could be used in any movie without it falling into a CG-bore fest. It's actually a no-win scenario. If you do a BTAS Clayface character study, you'd get stupid fans crying foul about how a movie with hundreds of millions of dollars couldn't put together a "proper" use of his shape-shifting abilities. Your other choice is to let some director go nuts with all the shape shifting and "blob" fighting and it just becomes a play-doh version of the Doomsday fight.

Pushing WW up a few more weeks could be because the June 2017 release schedule around that time for films that could draw away from the WW box office. June 2: WW, Bad Boys 3 and Capt. Underpants. June 9: Divergent Series (They're still making these films?!), A Mummy Picture, World War Z2, June 16: Cars 3, Kingsman 2, June 23: Transformers 5 Bad Boys 3 will probably be big enough rival that week, and WWZ2 will probably take a bite out during the second week. But that's about all I see in the form of new competition. But if they'd kept the June 23 release date, they'd be facing probably some strong second week showings from Cars 3 and Kingsman 2, as well as release week Transformers 5 on the international market. Given how popular Zootopia continued to be several weeks in during the BvS release, they might want to have a window where they aren't competing with another Disney CG feature, again. Even at June 2, though, they'll have a second week Pirates of the Caribbean film and first week Bad Boys 3 to deal with, not to mention how well GotG2 will still be doing from a month earlier. But it does space them out about a month in both directions from the major comic book superhero movies of GOTG2 in early May and the the rebooted Spider-Man comes out in early July.

All the villains in Nolan's trilogy were big picture villains who challenged Batman's ethics and the purpose of his existence, The Penguin wouldn't work because he is just some crime boss guy. Falcone fulfilled a similar role without having to be built up as an A-List villain like The Penguin would have.

I always viewed Penguin as the missing link between plain mobsters to the colorful villains. But yeah, he wouldn't have fit in the Nolanverse since the main villains were metaphors for ideologies.

The escalation that even the traditional mobs were abandoning their old ways and starting to adopting personas like that in response to Batman and the Joker turning crime in the city into theatrics in order to maintain respect and power.
