Looks decent though only half of A24's stuff is good imo, the rest pretentious crap for me.

Hm, interesting take. And honest.

I view A24 as a production company unafraid to experiment and will deal with complicated structures in scripts. They take a hell of a chance.

It does make them look 'pretentious' at times and maybe the outcome is such, but I don't believe such to be the whole intention.

I agree with you in the main but after awhile they fall into the same trap as everyone before them that what was once "different" or "experimental" becomes a dead horse. Take Ari Astor, i'm a big horror film fan but to me "Hereditary" was laughable and while i enjoyed "Midsommar" more it was virtually the same movie from a shot perspective. He basically just apes The Shining" by holding shots longer than he needs to to build tension, and after 2 films you realise it's all he does. Since then so many of A24's output does the same.

I applaud them for taking chances but when you take the same chance repeatedly then diminishing returns set it. I do rate them and are glad they are around but i kind of guess beats to every film of theirs i see these days.

I agree with you.

There's only so much a studio can do with risk before that risk implodes. However, that studio is a magnet for big stars to do projects that actually interest them, so with one misfortune as a loss in script risk, there's a gain with asset in project with actor gravitas.

But it is a fine balancing act.

Efron's quite an interesting character. Never sold the comedy front, he put on, but then I saw his little reality show where he travelled the world and he shone.

That film looks like the next stage of his evolution and he might just make it.

Yeh I thought it looked interesting.

I may look that travel show up.

A third (and should be final) trailer nicknamed 'The Bat and the Cat' dropped yesterday.

And my interest certainly hasn't... 'Wayne-d'. I'm sorry it was there and I just...

Anyway...

Haven't bothered with a Batman film for a while, but that trailer's a good 'un - I'll give it a whirl.

Looks more Nolan than Snyder. Looks decent to be fair

So, the reasons being given to explain away the many 'Batman' iterations, is a 'multiverse'.

Nolan's version was his own take for 'hyper realism'. Snyder's was comic book influenced with his own spin.

Wright's? Wright's is comic book faithful mixed with 'hyper realism', so it lands in the middle.

I think it's easy to think it looks more like Nolan cos there are no 'superheroes' around like in the world of Snyder.

But the main difference is it looks like this version focuses on 'Bruce Wayne' and his alter ego, rather than 'The Batman' and his alter ego.

I hope that's the case, anyway.

I'll bow to your much superior Batman knowledge. If you're excited that is good news. I was speaking more superficially:) the aesthetic is more Nolan ie Batman isn't the bulky brick wall Affleck version. The last minute of the trailer could be cribbed from the Nolan version like the way the cops dress and the overhead shot with the flare.

I was dubious about RP playing BW based entirely on him being from Twilight (which I've not even watched). It was only after watching Tenet that I began to see what he could bring to the role

I get where you're at.

This version is examining 'Bruce Wayne' in his second year as 'The Batman' and his detective skills (which was the second most interesting thing about him him imo and omitted in general).

The Affleck version is 'old man Batman' or, at least, getting on that way where he's lost everything near and dear to him for following the code of law. My issues with the Snyder version is that he doesn't commit to the version fully, but maybe he had this intention down the line.

Who knows and maybe we'll get to see it, at some point?
