Supervan bounces back and forth between amazing and horrendous, it's really something else

probably the best part is that they filmed it at an actual van convention, so it's kinda got elements of cinema verite in the b-roll wedged in between the chunks of absolute nonsense that make up the plot

Also Charles Bukowski shows up briefly.

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!

Who would play a good Adam West-style Batman in a modern reboot?

Hamm jumps to mind, naturally, but I'm sure there are better options out there who aren't pushing 50.

Honestly, I think Pattinson could pull that off. He does a good deadpan.

A large part of it is almost certainly trying to do the same kind of camp that the 60s TV series did, dressed up with a glitzier visual style, but there's the "serious" disease subplot too so it's not 100% consistent.

At an art house’s screening of The Killing one of the reels was basically inserted the wrong way so the film was running backwards and upside down and it took about ten minutes to fix. By the time the film started the audience’s mood had kinda turned, it took me a while to appreciate that film properly.

I think this one will do well because it's been so long since the first and there haven't been a lot of reasons for people to get excited about a movie since COVID. But if the third one actually comes out in 2024, it'll flop hard.

Why? If the second does well a sequel two years later seems entirely reasonable.

Batgirl is still the only one we know for sure has been written off in this way, can’t be monetized again without incurring a penalty, etc.
