The best part of Ben Affleck playing Old Man Bruce is that you can have the whole batfamily already around, bring on the Cass Cain solo flick

I really think having Old Bruce was a great idea by Snyder/Goyer/DCEU/WB.

A Nightwing movie sounds like a good idea, honestly. Everyone knows who Robin is and he's a character with a lot of history and potential.

It's certainly a better notion than a Cyborg solo film.

The idea of a Cyborg solo film just makes me feel bad inside, the way seeing someone you admired expressing repulsive political views does.

I want to see the Cyborg solo film just because I have no idea who they could have be the villain.

Brother Blood? Doctor Polaris? Sheborg???

That upcoming villain in the current comic that uses rats?

I doubt they'd stray too far from the Wolfman/Perez lineup. So Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, Cyborg apparently, and Nightwing.

Edit - If it's Titans and not Teen Titans, then the timeline doesn't matter since they'd all be adults

I kind of agree with this, as cynical and as smug you came off here.

I can barely keep up with the glut of films, books, blogs, news, music and TV series competing for my time. I'm not in a huge hurry to see anything anymore because I know if whatever it is winds up being worth a poo poo, I'll not only see it eventually but I''ll see it in perpetuity for the rest of my loving life.

The only thing I tend to scope out anymore are children's movies that seem tolerable. I have a six year old and seem to have no time at all for anything related to hype.

I'll grant the goofy tumbler batmobile, but nothing else had the aesthetic of DKR. If anything it was more inspired by Year One, and even then not that much.

The tumbler is goofy now? Retrospective movie opinions are weird.

I don't really know anyone who liked the tankmobile, even at the time.

E: Wait, poo poo, my dad liked it. But he said the 60s batmobile was still cooler.

# ? Feb 24, 2017 02:26

Doctor Spaceman: Jul 6, 2010; "Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."

Even the Tumbler is pretty different. The DKR Bat Tank is a hulking brute of a vehicle, while the Tumbler is smaller than it looks and incredibly agile.

E: It looks kinda weird but if the chase scene in Batman Begins doesn't sell the concept for you I don't know what would.

Big Mean Jerk: Jan 27, 2009; Well, of course I know him.

The Tumbler was fantastic and I will literally fight you through the Internet if you disagree. The Tumbler (and most of Wayne's armor and assorted tech) makes perfect sense within the Nolan universe. It's all repurposed military prototypes that WayneTech couldn't sell.

Best sure, but if I'm being honest with myself, I've felt that every adaptation has missed the mark.
What's so hard about a bat themed sports car? It really doesn't need to be giant, clunky, and have a jet engine. He's a primarily stealth hero.

I didn't like the Tumbler either. Every other Batmobile if you saw them driving down the street, you would know immediately that it was Batman. It would either have his logo on it or have some bat-shaped wings on it. Something about it would say "Batman" to you.

If I saw this coming down the street I would think it was Mad Max or somebody from the Terminator future.

I think the jet engines on the back are just because the 60s show had one, more than about "it can go as fast as a plane". It's just a neat look.

To be fair, Batman Begins actually has it do some stealth stuff. And it driving over the rooftops was pretty dope. All in all, while I don't love its look, it was probably the best utilized batmobile on screen. Also the batpod is dope and the part where it explodes out of the batmobile is amazing.

All in all though, I think the Batman films treat the batmobile as a bit more vital to the character than it really needs to be.
