Someone said in the comments that Snyder's fans are in the minority. The data says otherwise, ZSJL did the heavy lifting for HBO Max last year. And now, Army of Dead, may well be on the way to earn a fan favourite Oscars this year.

This is the streaming data WB was scared of releasing all the while.

Hail Snydra!!!

AnfieldFan:
What is this?

Engagement doesn't equal views...
Snyder's JL performed below expectations with the way Snyder bots did the most on social media....We no know say half of the matter na bots...

And we know Wonder woman did the most for HBOmax subscription wise although most have unsubscribed(It's also important to note that the signups were also in anticipation of other movies)

abduleez1:
You dey mind these people... The way they think at times ehn...

They think WW84 is a joke with all that massive numbers it brought late December. They also willfully ignore the subscribers in anticipation of BIG Blockbuster movies debuting same day as theaters on HBOMax. Imagine projects like GvK, Mortal Kombat, TSS and Dune on streaming.

With all the Twitter noise and banter I was somewhat disappointed with that ZSJL HBOMax numbers. You go think say earthquake wan shéle with all that hype.
Imagine struggling with movies that was released nationwide same day in theaters as compared with a Streaming service only project.


I'm very sure they would've been praying for the Batman to flop just so they can start with another useless propaganda.

AnfieldFan:
Snyder fans keep on shitting on anything that doesn't have him on it.....DC's had some duds since he left but they've also had some hits...Same can't be said if when he was in charge....
I've said it numerous times, Snyder can't write to save his life, he's also a spectacle director and he isn't even that good...If I want spectacle, Bay still d....

After seeing the things they've said about Peacemaker and Suicide squad/Birds of prey, it's toxic fanning all over the board....

AnfieldFan:
As for Batman flopping, not possible...Had a billion+ as my prediction before China was involved and then reaffirmed it after China was confirmed but it seems it's gonna do around 850 with the average DC multiplier of 2.70 leg wise.....

If it does pull a Joker on us and legs to billion +, WB fit start DCEU 2 on top en head....

I love the way Batman fights. However, my only problem with the action is the plot armor used on Batman. Gunmen always shoot his chest and they never target the face.

BlackManta:
The Batman 9/10

This is the best Batman movie that is about Batman if know what I mean.

Robert Pattinson was very good in the role. Zoe Kravitz is a natural with the way she played Catwoman.
The Riddler is a 10/10 villain, Paul Dano is a scene stealer in this movie.
The biggest surprise was Colin Ferrell as Penguin. Especially when you consider the fact that Jonah Hill was Matt Reeves first choice to play Penguin. But after what Colin Ferrell did, everyone could say that he's perfect for this role.
I'm well and truly hyped for his spinoff show. It's going to drop next year, I hope.
Jeffery Wright as Jim Gordon is a match made in heaven.

The entire cast did well including John Turtoro and Andy Serkis.

The cinematography in this movie is next level. It is as mesmerizing as it is grandiose. Every shot in this movie is an excellent work of art.

The runtime was absolutely worth it. The movie is packed with story and the pacing was good. At first I thought it was too long but after seeing it, I don't think there's a scene that shouldn't be in this film.
Matt Reeves used this runtime well to flesh out his major characters. The Batman has a character arc and so does Catwoman. She's not just a sidekick here. I love the thing with Falcone cuz it gave her character more depth.

The action scenes were very good. That car chase scene was the best peice of action in a Batman movie. The trailers don't do it justice at all.
I love the way Batman fights. However, my only problem with the action is the plot armor used on Batman. Gunmen always shoot his chest and they never target the face.

In conclusion, the best thing about this movie is that it's Batman centric. It's officially the best Batman movie about Batman. TDK is a masterpiece but that movie was not about Batman.
His growth as a character was beautiful.
In the end he realizes that his methods was having a negative impact on the city cuz it inspired Riddler.
Like Minemrys pointed out "he starts off the movie as vengeance and end up as Batman".
The part where he was helping people in the end was beautiful. He transformed from a symbol of vengeance to a symbol of hope.

I also like that Gotham is a character in this movie. Gotham is truly Gotham and not Chicago like the Nolan movies.

Final rating 9/10

I can't wait to see it again when it drops on HBO Max next month.

SMUAG:
This is what I called a CBM! This Mat Reeves' The Batman is one top-notch movie...
This is just what some of us have been clamoring for, just give us something ground-breaking in a different way from the norms we usually get ever since Mcu becomes the order of the day.

badinfluence:
Just had to drag Mcu into your post.

The Boys The Batman parody poster

AnfieldFan:
Every other post here has the MCU...If it's not critics piling on DC movies because they are MCU fans, it's the general audience being too stupid to recognize the greatness and ingenuity the DCEU is because they've all been brainwashed by MCU....

Just read and laugh, them go d alright las las...

BankyGee:
2022 is for DC
I'm just rewatching that DC League of Super pets on YouTube. Punchlines too much abeg
"Batman works alone, except for Robin, Alfred, Commissioner Gordon..."

Nickshrapnel:
Black Adam has been shifted to October, I expected The flash to be the one to be moved, but this still works.

BlackManta:


4 DC films in a year, it was too good to be true. I just knew it.

Quality over Quantity anytime any day.

If Black Adam and Superpets is good, I'll take it.

That Super Bowl trailer looks like scam now

BlackManta:
They moved Flash and Aquaman to next year

BlackManta:
I think this is just a business decision....a smart one

Y'all know The Flash and Aquaman had strong competition with Black Panther and Avatar 2 respectively...

No way Aquaman was gonna get anywhere near $800m to $1b with Avatar in the way....after the success of the first movie WB no fit play risky games with the sequel so I understand the move..... December to March is not too far if we're being honest...
