I liked the trailer and Batman's "I am vengenace!' line and the beat down of that punk. But other than that, I did not recognize Commissioner Gordon or any of the villains. But it still looks intriguing.

What Batman did to that thug was not murder (the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another )...it was self defense justifiable homicide (the killing of a person in circumstances which allow the act to be regarded in law as without criminal guilt). Learn how to differentiate your killings...

You didn't recognize the mustache? I was actually excited to see Jeffrey Wright in the role. He's an excellent actor. I think he'll bring the calm strength that Gordon has the same we he did to roles as varied as Bernard in Westworld to Narcisse in Boardwalk Empire.WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment

I love Jeffrey Wright too, great actor. He’s going to be a great Gordon.sigpicComment

If it turns out crappy, I’ll definitely eat crow.
But I did love the trailer.
I don’t love all DCU movies. I hate the first Suicide Squad. I despise Birds of Prey. I thought Aquaman was highly overrated. And Shazam was a poorman’s Tom Hank’s BIG to me.
See?

just not your typical choice for movie music - trailer or not. But, then again, neither was Leonard Cohen until a few years ago.Comment

I love Batman pummeling that thug, he deserved it. He came at Batman with a bat (pardon the pun), awesome. He’s also facing a large gang. He has to scare the krap outta them. What is he supposed to do? Hug him? That scene got the best reaction on all those YouTube channel reaction videos, lol...
I have no problem with the systematic takedown. It's the pause and extra pummeling that is unnecessary and brutal that I dislike. After Batfleck ran over thugs with his BatMoTank, I'm done with that kind of Batman.
But hopefully that was just the "WOW" scene like that, and he's less about maiming folks. We'll see.

That scene bugged me too, it seemed like batman can take a guy down quicker than that.
However, I don't know the context, maybe that dude just mugged a family with children and this is a huge FTG moment.
My bigger concern about Batman movies is how much dreaded Frank Miller influence is involved, TDKR is an elseworlds story and it's not a defining feature of Batman. I know Miller was in Snyders ear and it's just, enough of Batman killing poor people with machine guns blazing, he's not Paul Kersey.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

I think had it just been the two of them, the beating wouldn't have been as severe; but as Hector mentioned, he was facing a gang and had to show them what would happen if they chose to test him.You are transparent; I see many things... I see plans within plans.Comment
