-Big 2021 year end movie recap (reconstructed!).

I caught the 'rona which kept me locked up, so I missed Black Panther 2 (and "Black Adam" doesn't look like it's worth a theater trip), and I didn't get out much period. What ones I did get to see really counted though.

Bullmoose/Birthday haul.

Hybrid of 2 hauls, cuz I dragged my feet, but...dragging my feet actually worked out, cuz now these get lumped together in a helpful way! Read More......

"The Batman", Batmobile reveal!!

And here's Batman's wheels!

Lot of people are saying either "Fast & The Furious", or "Mad Max".

Is that necessarily a bad thing though?

Batman has had 'mobiles that were just cars before in the comics.
It was only ever a tank in "The Dark Knight Returns", and that's what inspired the Nolanverse and DCEU versions.
It's just movies-only people got used to that, and think "that's how it's SUPPOSED to be!!".
Nope, you're objectively wrong.
Sorry.
*Shrug*

Every new Batman, you've gotta change it up a bit, I think stripping it back down is just right.

This is what a guy with money and car knowledge would build for himself.
The bat-tanks, that requires military connections, and cloak and dagger to hide it in the books, and even then you get caught, as seen in that scene with the blackmailer in "The Dark Knight".

Yeah, I like it.
I like the style they're going for.

This is the kind of Batman and Batmobile that would exist in the world of "Joker".
Could we be getting that?
An awards-bait Batman?
How sweet would that be?
I'm excited!
The more I see, the more pumped I get.

Finally, Alfred! And Penguin!

Andy Serkis is in talks for Alfred.

And Collin Farrell is in talks for Penguin.

The cooler this cast gets, the more I salivate for the flick to to become real.

So, that completes both the main trio of villains, and Batman's backup band.
I mean, yeah, it's "in talks", but they always get confirmed.
I'm going with it.

After "Joker", I should think every big star would want in on the Bat-verse.

First Batman, then Commissioner, now we've got a Catwoman!

Zoe Kravitz!

You know me and my Catwoman fanboyism.
I'm a happy camper.

Still waiting on the Alfred casting though.

Now, for the casting of Commissioner, Alfred, and the villains.

Well, we've got a Commissioner!

Jeffrey Wright!

So, that's Bruce and Gordon down, Alfred and the villains left to go.

Rumors of Jonah Hill reading for a villain.
I'll report on it if/when it happens.

And our new Batman is.....

Robert Pattinson.


"Eeeew! The 'Twilight', guy?!?!?!".

Yep.
And once upon a time, Heath Ledger was "Eeeew, the 'Brokeback Mountain', guy", and Michael Keaton was "Eeeew, Mister Mom", and on, and on.

Fanboys seemingly have no learning curve.

Anyhoo...


Billdude said in comments...

And, in a hilarious coincidence...you didn't notice that the GOT guys are doing an SW movie? You probably did and just haven't blogged it yet.
Or that Robert Pattinson is Batman now? (Go watch "Good Time," he's a passable actor now actually...not that I ever watched "Twilight." Or at least he was good in "Good Time." Probably nobody could've saved "Maps To The Stars") 

...to which I replied...

Pattinson as Batman- I keep WANTING to blog it, but I can't get 100% confirmation.
Every time one source says to take it to the bank, another source says Nicholas Hoult is still in the running.
I'll drop it on the blog the second Hoult gets eliminated.
Barring getting hit by a meteor, or donkey-fucking pics coming out, it'll probably be Pattinson, but I wanna be sure, cuz I've been screwed by rumors before.
Like the time they said Bryan Cranston was gonna be Lex Luthor.

Well, I've got 100% confirmation finally.
Took another 11 goddamned days, but here we are.

Now, for the casting of Commissioner, Alfred, and the villains.

And to find out if this is Elsewords like "Joker", or is a prequel to Batfleck in the DCEU.

Personally, I'm hoping for prequel.
I like the DCEU, and want it fleshed out.
There's a lot of fun places to explore in there.

Anyway, as a fun flashback, here's when we found out about Batfleck.
And here's where he put on the suit.

Stay tuned for Bat-inson's suit test!
