If they're gonna do a Batman reboot they should do a Bond-style opening. Cold open of someone trying to pull off some sort of heist or something, chase scene, then BAM the Bat shows up, and immediately foils the plans, cops finally catch up and the bad guys are all wrapped up and waiting.
Also honestly at this point if they have to do a "young Bruce/Batman" themed movie, they should do like Daredevil and have the costume not even show up until the big final fight, just using random/generic ninja stuff to start with, and slowly upgrading over the course of the movie, until you get the full reveal of the Batsuit right at the start of the big fight.

Burton's Batman (1989) opened with Batman foiling some bad guys. At this point I think all the obvious openings have been done, sometimes more than once.

Okay. How about...
Bruce Wayne dancing around the batcave as he pulls on his various parts of the bat-suit, while the batcomputer blares haddaway’s ‘what is love?’.
He turns round to Alfred to say this is the third night in a row of impressive cat burglaries and as the mask goes on he says “don’t wait up”.
More changes at the Flash movie! Now Andy Muschietti (both Its) will direct, with Christina Hodson (Bumblebee, Birds of Prey) writing. So who the hell knows if it'll be fun or dark or blorg.
Ezra Miller, for all his attempts to throw his weight around, is still Flash.
Looks like Joel "I'm more wooden than oak" Kinneman will be reprising his role as Flagg in the next Suicide Squad.
I really can't blame him for the atrocity that was SS.
It's not all on him, certainly, but the fact that he had negative chemistry with the gal that's so important to him that he's willing to work with a bunch of villains to keep her safe did certainly dampen my expectations for the rest of the proceedings.
He seemed more emotionally attached to that chicken bone he gnawed on in the Comfort Suites than he ever was to June Moone.
Weeeeelll, she was played by Cara Delevingne, an actress with limited experience and questionable talent. Her default expression is the fashion model resting bitch face( I.e. look like the fact that people watching you is something you find disgusting).
Who also played the main villain(which she spent most of her time portraying) as a spasmotic weirdo with limited understanding of how to walk.
The sky was full of stars, every star an exploding ship. One of ours.

Need to find Cara a role where being a relatively wooden and awkward character with little depth and almost no dialogue, is the focus. Cause Milla at least had Fifth Element.

Did you just compare Cara to Milla Jovovich? Cause thems fighting words bitch! Milla is leagues above Cara without even trying. The Fifth Element is her career highlight sure, but she actually has several critically praised supporting roles on her resume and she manages to carry the Resident Evil movie franchise on her shoulders without falling into Direct to video. Nobody was watching them for her husbands directing.

*breaks bottle on edge of bar* COME AT ME, BRO!
Hey, I thought she was decent in Fifth Element. But the Resident Evil movies were garbage.
And I didn't know much about Hellboy until I was watching it, other than Harbour taking the main role, and Dae Kim replacing Skrein because whitewashing. Ian McShane showing up was awesome. And the movie wasn't great. But as soon as Milla showed up, I knew the movie was gonna take a nosedive, and it did.
I haven't seen much of her body of work, admittedly. But that's because I haven't seen her elevate a work she's been in. And would she have been cast in as much as she has, if it wasn't for her directing husband? That he gets any work is proof there is no justice.
That he's apparently in charge of bringing one of my favorite reads (Painted Man) of the last decade to the big screen, makes me feel completely underwhelmed. Though it's been a decade (optioned in 2009), and there's no more news, so it looks like it might have died in developmental hell. Yay!
But we're getting way off topic. Back to the bar fight...

I'd say Milla Jovovich is a far better actress than Cara Delevingne.
Milla Jovovich can do stunts and sell an action scene.
In case you were wondering, the WB streaming thing, dubbed HBO Max, will have DC stuff, but it won't affect the DC streaming service, or the smattering of DC shows and cartoons on CW Seed.

Jennifer Lawrence doesn't have Milla Jovovich's action movie chops. Not a fair comparison.
Then you've got the folks that are next level, like Michelle Yeoh, who at 56 still makes everyone around her look like they're in a highschool play in action scenes.

Wait, isn't Routh already there as as someone else? Are they going to address that, or just ignore it? Honestly I'd be fine with the latter.

That's a crazy enough list that (schedules and contracts permitting) I could see them managing to get some of the DCU actors/actresses on board. That cast list looks fun.

That is to say, looks like a fine movie, but Joker the Batman villain? Nope.
I would bet that a significant portion of the film is going to be him doing Joker stuff. I think the origin stuff we're seeing in the trailer is just the first half of the film. That scene of him on a subway donning the mask is probably him doing joker stuff.

The trailers are speaking to me of another time, a time when comic book movies were seen as shameful, little better than a B-movie with a bit more budget, where the only way to get a respectable actor or director on such a picture was to pay them above their asking price and/or let them adapt the concept as loosely as possible.
This applies both to the story it appears to be telling and the politics it intentionally or unintentionally is evoking.
I feel nothing for this movie at all beyond mild annoyance. Like, putting aside how I don't care about batman, this feels like way too much like WB has decided to try and do a character piece to go trolling for Oscars.

The idea that any hero movie would win a legit Oscar (like Best Picture or Best Actor and not another best costume/make-up) is a laugh
