Can you point me the way, to the nearest playground?

The others I get, but who's this supposed to be? Scarecrow? IMDb doesn't list him as in the film so probably not. Whoever it is, that mask is terrible.

There actually IS a Batman villain named "Black Mask" and so as I scrolled by, I just thought "oh, I didn't know that Black Mask was in this movie"

I think it's the Riddler, but he's, like, Jigsaw now.

This makes more sense and is also way dumber though.

I'm not refuting your post but he was the main bad guy in Birds of Prey so it would be kind of funny if he's now on the level of Joker or Batman himself with multiple versions being on film so close together.

The makeup on Farrell is some of the best I've ever seen. He's completely unrecognizable but it also looks very real, it doesn't look like prosthetics.

Agreed. Even knowing it was him before watching the trailers I found him to be utterly unrecognizable.

They're talking about doing an HBO Max series with him. They also have another one in development that is about the GCPD characters from the movie.

They have kind of, in the sense that people have wondered why bother doing all that when they. An just hire someone who looks like Richard Kind. Which I get.

But also, Colin Farrell is always great.

The main thing I'm getting from the trailer is that it looks a LOT like Batman Begins. Not story-wise, just in the general aesthetic.

Like I know they'd never dare making a Batman movie that looks like Schumacher's again, but man, someone try for film noir or sleek late-60s thriller or something!

At the end of the day can you really do The Penguin without it being offensive in some respect? The gist of him is "lol, look at the fat guy with a hook nose."

I feel like you could get close if you went cyberpunk with Gotham or used certain real and current Asian metropolises as inspiration.

Could probably get away with a more Burton gothic look, if you got the tone right and a director that could pull it off.

There not going to because got to fit everything into the bland style of shared cinematic universe and everything, but I think they probably could.

A fun Batman movie would be a change of pace. Something with a competent Batman taking on colorful villains in a standalone story. So basically another Schumacher movie.

It gets silly but Forever isn't camp. It's actually very easy to read it as a continuation of Keaton's Batman and the themes Burton explored. Batman and Robin, on the other hand, I will not defend.

Forever had Carrey who was hamming it up to levels never thought possible and Tommy Lee Jones trying to outham him. It was the full blown campy stupidity that Batman and Robin was but it was definitely heading in that direction.

Batman never gets campy but the villians are arguably more campy than BR

It’s close tho

It's not like DeVito and Pfeiffer were playing it straight in Returns. The Penguin bites someone's nose off and rides a mini-Batmobile so I'd say Carrey and Jones' performance aren't that big of a departure. Schwarzenegger and Thurman are a different story because they speak exclusively in quips.

The issue I had with Forever is that they kept trying to get all serious with Bruce Wayne seeing a therapist and Nicole Kidman wanting to gently caress Batman specifically. At least Batman & Robin is 100% HAM.

Batman Forever has the worst villain portrayals of the franchise for sure. Riddler barely riddles, he kind of just... Jim Carreys. And then Two Face is a complete afterthought, he pretty much sits next to Riddler giggling
