"The Batman" - NO SPOILERS

[riddler]

Yeah what is this nonsense about Affleck's age?

-it's stated he's been Batman over 20 ears
-Robin is dead
-Harley Quinn has already been on multiple crime sprees (which happens later in Batman's career)
-he's forming the justice league
-the visible grey hair
-almost every conversation with Alfred about how long he's been batman before. Heck Alfred even states he's gotten too old to die young

so someone please show me any material where WB/DC implies this will be a young Batman. They're made no bones that this will be an older Batman and they're giving us what they promised. Will we get the same complaints if the Green Arrow is eventually introduced as an old man?

War for the Planet of the Apes is getting good reviews. That gets me excited for what Matt Reeves will do for Batman.

Oh, and Matt Reeves confirms Affleck will be in the Batman solo movie.

I had faith he'd return despite all of the hysteria. But it's REALLY good to have it confirmed by the director.

Agreed. And I won't lie, a huge part of my enthusiasm for the movie would evaporate if Affleck were to walk away. He's what I want from Batman in cinema right now.

Same here. I hate to admit, but had Affleck left prematurely, my interest in the entire DCEU would suddenly plummet. If he were to be done with Batman, I'd rather if it's the end of the series, or giving the character a proper send-off.

[The Dark Knight]

Completely agree. I like stability in franchises and I think Affleck staying the course is good for the brand. When you know someone is locked into a role it actually helps your fandom in a big way. You can really get on board with them, relax and enjoy the ride that's to come. That's how I feel anyway. It's like how the Bond franchise is in limbo right now because they're unsure if Daniel Craig will come back. Your enjoyment of the franchise as a whole can't help but be impacted in some way.

A point of view noir detective style Batman film?

That's basically exactly what I wanted to hear.

I'm still waiting for the "Batman is gonna beat the snot out of a lot of people with his bare hands and we'll capture it in borderline-pornographic detail" interview. But it's a long while yet until the movie comes out. And I'm nothing if not patient.

Just ask Catwoman if you don't believe me.
