muscles like this! posted:https://deadline.com/2022/04/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-summer-2023-theatrical-release-sony-release-date-changes-1235007010/ I remember when WB postponed one of the Harry Potter movies because The Dark Knight made all the money. Didn't want two huge blockbusters in one fiscal year, and thought postponing Potter would help their financial line the next year. Sony's probably thinking the same thing after No Way Home.

Depending on when Sony starts its fiscal year that might've already been the case.

I was thinking about one of my favorite bits in Batman Returns when Batman rips of hiss mask and Walken goes "Bruce Wayne? Why are you dressed like Batman?" and Catwoman rolls her eyes and goes "Because he is Batman, dumbass".

So I’m watching The Batman. I didn’t really pay much attention to the hype or release or anything. Why’s it streaming so early after it’s release? Is this the new compromise between theater only and streaming? Like give it enough time in theaters and then capitalize on the buzz for people who aren’t gonna bother going out to see it? Or something else?

WB owns HBOmax, and they are offering early streaming on all their in-house movies. Disney does the same thing with Disney+ (But not Spider-man because that’s Sony).

FlamingLiberal posted:That's just their new policy, that the film goes up on HBO Max 45 days after theatrical release. I don't think that's really hurting anyone on the theater side by that point for all but a handful of films. The longer a movie is in a theatre the more the theatre gets in box office sales, so by having the movie appear so quickly on streaming means that the studios get a whole wad of box office sales from the first few weeks and the theatre in theory doesn't get much afterwards. Not to say that many movies have a shelf life of a month or longer but it does seems a bit petty.

I don’t know how I feel about The Batman. It felt like it was trying to tell a truer film noir detective story and I appreciate that. I think the length just did me in. I feel like I need to rewatch the last half hour. I got everything but I was pretty tapped out. I liked the last hour or so more than the first hour or so. It felt like it moved real slow and I didn’t have a great sense of Batman/Bruce or Alfred. Riddler also felt disconnected and not very there for me. That all kind of pays off and I think it does come together in the end. But drat it’s a long time to get there. Like it felt like a very long, methodical, intentional build and I get that. I just think it pulled me to my limits and I wasn’t all there when the movie needed me to be. I thought Kravitz was very good and Selina feels more realized. There’s not really anyone I think did a bad job and there’s lots I like. But I dunno. I felt that length and I was exhausted by the time things really got going.

I want a Batman with his family, and the family can be the part of the team that's still learning. I don't believe Batman and Robin was so bad that all live action movies would actively avoid any depiction of Robin for 25 years. JGL turning to the camera in the last scene and saying "My name is Robin" doesn't count. (That's not exactly how it happened, but it's exactly how I remember it)

If there is going to be a sequel they need to really steer away from (like it was said above) him becoming the terminator and being all knowing and infallible,make him a better batman who’s actually learned things from the last movie yeah but still let him get his arse kicked and make mistakes just in different ways.

also, more Alfred. Didn't think I'd be kind of disappointed at having less Alfred than usual but here I am. Also, I'm really loving glad there were as few gadgets as there were. Kind of tired of James Bond levels of "hold on, I have this doodad made specifically for this plot point"

But that is basically what Batman did. The good thing about how Bond stories do it is show you at the start what Q is giving Bond for the mission and then it has to play a part somehow by the end of the film. He may like Walthers but his favourite Guns are Chekhov's.

I watched The Batman in 30-45 chunks. There are some great visuals, amazing action sequences, and the intro to Gotham is really cool (this is a live action batman who works by fear!). And the acting was great from everybody, I like the view of the Penguin as kinda a mook and HUSH in the Ridler‘s video flashed in big letters. I can’t imagine watching it all at once. Feels like an entire additional movie after the Falcone saga resolved. I feel like the Riddler got super lucky that everyone was incompetent. The DA who got super drunk and had no security after two murders within the criminal conspiracy he knew about, Alfred opening mail with the killer‘s handwriting that Alfred had seen repeatedly... There is also some stuff that felt extraneous or weird. The Riddler never could’ve sniped the guy who spends all his time in a room with multiple bay windows. The cops hate Batman, except when he arrests Falcone and a dirty officer*. The Riddler has an evil scheme which goes perfectly, but Batman calls him a douchebag and he goes into an embarrassing rage^. ^It feels vestigial that the Riddler wanted to be arrested as part of his plan. It would’ve worked whether or not he went to prison. That’s still preferable to him being caught as part of his plan, which we’ve been seeing for a decade now in major action movies. But knowing what we know about the police force, it makes no sense that he isn’t brutalized by the time we see him in Arkham. *By having everybody yell at Batman for being rich and Catwoman, the tritagonist, leave the movie in order to kill people for being rich, it felt like the movie had a lot to say about capitalism. Mostly that poor people hate it! Despite a ton of rich characters, you never see them enjoying anything, even the 40 below bar seems dark and sedate rather than lecherous and morally decayed.

Gotham City is a dystopian hellhole where all the cops (minus Gordon) are dirty and yet simultaneously, every criminal (especially named costumed rogues) manage to make it to prison/Arkham unbrutalized.

Batman stories fall apart when you compare them to the American reality of executing anybody for pretty much any contrived reason regardless of their mental fitness, age, or even likelihood of having committed the crime in question.

FlamingLiberal posted:Is that a recent character or something? It looks like he first appeared in 2006 and then... I have no loving clue. Marvel's own website has only three paragraphs about the guy and it sounds like the character hasn't been used after that one story. Something I find slightly amusing; There isn't even a Wikipedia entry for this character, but there IS one for a comic book character of the same name that debuted in 1998 from an independent publisher that even had its own movie adaptation in 2007, which is apparently well-received. So searching up things like "El Muerto," or "El Muerto Wiki" or "El Muerto Comics" or "El Muerto Movie" all bring up this other property as the top results.
