    New viral stuff is starting up

    The site has real-world locations to go to and find bat-shaped graffiti like this

    I forgot to mention that doing this apparently unlocks images from the new trailer, I guess?

    here are some of them

    Yes it was. Of course it's a little bit confusing how they moved forward 5 years and a couple episodes back just dropped in a new character without explanation. But this show is really great. It's nice to see a kid's show that is more complex and doesn't shy away from more adult plots.

  • BedigunzBedigunz Registered User regular
    I'm hoping there will be flashbacks to the
    skipped 5 years--especially since we're missing Artemis, Kid Flash, Red Arrow, and Aqualad.

    Having Zatanna and Rocket on the JL makes sense though and I'm okay with them being promoted.

    Just a regular cop?

    As far as we know, yeah.
    He gets assigned as Wayne's bodyguard by the GCPD so he probably figures out the secret identity.

    I guess they didn't bother to have Bale polish up his batman voice at all.

    honestly the Balevoice doesn't bug me at all anymore. At least not as much as having Bane's bits obviously dubbed in.

  • Centipede DamascusCentipede Damascus Registered User regular
    Wow.
    So we've got Bane and No Man's Land going on here, huh?

    I'm even more curious now what Catwoman's role is in this

    can I just say I love Anne Hathaway and anyone who doesn't think she's good for Selina at this point is dumb and wrong

    Supposedly Batman hasn't been around for years, so it makes sense that it'd still be rough. He hasn't been Batman for a while.

    yeah, her line delivery is spot on, and the snippets of her in action look pretty damn good.

    What's the first sentence Bane says? I can't decipher his last word. That said, the trailers continue to be awesome.

    That isn't my reading.
    Maybe at the very end. But it looks more like Bruce gets captured tortured and left alive, broken and Gordan and whatsisface convince him to get back in the game.

    Im Gotham's reckoning.

    also Bale sounds way clearer, especially in the "not yet" bit.

    For a second there, I thought his hovercraft was going to make the Transformers sound after he made that quip about it not being a car.

    god, just

    how did they make three movies without anybody realizing how stupid that voice is

  • ProhassProhass Registered User regular
    Its probably because its not really that stupid/bad?

  • -Tal-Tal Registered User regular
    no it is definitely an awful voice that is dumb and bad

    This isn't even the first Catwoman she's played. In a manner of speaking.

    Yeah, the trailers haven't really won me over.

    I think it's because I know it will be almost impossible to be as good/better than the last film.

    I really liked this trailer

    It set the tone of despair really well

  • -Tal-Tal Registered User regular
    I will probably like this more because it at least looks like a Batman movie

    Dark Knight focused so much on Harvey and Gordon and Joker that Batman felt like a side character

    PNk1Ml4.png
  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Also, JGL
    is hella gonna be NewBats

  • GoatmonGoatmon Companion of Kess Registered User regular
    He practically was a side character.

    Hell, he was more interesting as Bruce.

    All the big Batman scenes are entertaining for the other characters involved with them.

    It's like batman was a big scoop of vanilla ice cream, with Dent and Joker and Gordon sprinkles all over it.

    Yeah, I don't need another Transformers/Battleship Explodorama trailer thanks.

    Not that there haven't been explosions in the Batman trailers, but the quiet soundtrack laid over the destruction suggests that the explosions are not just for the sake of exploding things, but are visual symbols of underlying shit going on or something. There's clearly more to Bane than "look what I can blow up."

    he's just trying way too hard with it and it comes off as silly

    like it's something that Batman might try as a rookie but then eventually develop a more confident, yet still menacing voice

    but no, he still has it

    Nah.

    You know what's really stupid? That anytime this movie gets brought up we spend pages bitching about the voice.

    It's there get over it.
