Larryw7 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 The reason Keaton's cameo in Aquaman was cancelled because his character's intro is supposed to be in The Flash, but because the release date was changed, Batman in the DC universe is still Ben Affleck. I want to see Keaton, but it wouldn't bother me if Affleck stays on, or if Reeves Batman universe is incorporated into the DC universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really fighting the urge to say something not so nice about the Reeves/Pattinson film, but I will hold off because if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all...........

My review of The Batman I've always wanted a Batman detective movie. The concept of a serial killer was good, but Matt Reeves discount Se7en showed he lacks the talent and understanding of the tension that made that film work. Also, having the Riddler as a Zodiac knock-off always seemed dumb. The mystic of the Zodiac is not really knowing who did it. We know it's the Riddler so there's no mystery. That would be like at the beginning of The Usual Suspects, Kevin Spacey looks into the camera and says I'm Kyser Soze. Honestly, I hope the sequel goes the way of Batgirl.

There wasn't any tension in The Batman (aside from the Riddler jail scene, which was an 'homage' to The Dark Knight). There was a lot of tension in Se7en. I despise The Riddler's lack of being recognizable as The Riddler. mtracy64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the person in question, IMHO no pronouns should be used going forward. The only reference to that person should be D****** Bag aka DeeeeeeeeeeeBaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggg as it is the only accurate representation. After all D-BAG is as D-BAG does.
