Multiple new castings usually indicate significant reshoots... too bad. Hope there might be different cuts of the movie available on home video! But I somehow doubt it...

Yikes. Not to my taste... How did they score Johansson and Hemsworth for this?? Flop incoming? (September??) to be followed by the inevitable "serious" reboot more in the tone of the original 1986 animated movie. I'll keep my Nelson Shin/Vince DiCola/Orson Welles Unicron joint, thanks!

I guess they're going to go to the "Old Ma and Pa Kent" route...which is...I suppose...refreshing? But also antiquated a bit... but I'm sure Gunn has his ideas... Kurt Russell for JOR-EL, then?? 😁

...So where are the MOVIE sequels, huh?? Astounding that these haven't gotten made. Creative disagreements behind the scenes must be huge...

Great actor, but...wouldn't have been my choice. 🤷‍♂️

Good luck... 😁

Sure they do! It's this guy, right??? 😁

Where is this "most of the original footage being kept" info coming from? From what I'm reading, the trades are saying they are unsure how much is being kept at all...

The contracts are the contracts. Even if Disney currently owns 20th Century Fox/"20th Century Pictures", that studio entity apparently retains the film rights to all FF, X-Men, Deadpool, etc. characters so far... Would be nice to see 20th's logo be kept alive in some form...

No matter how they cast Doom, some segment will not be happy! 😁

Same as the trades recently "riffing" on Luc Besson's DRACULA, for which they claimed that Besson would "revisit the original love story of the tale, with Prince Vlad and his long-lost love" which of course had nothing to do with the original Bram Stoker novel -- similarly here, the trades are now seemingly employed with lesser-educated culturally hollow writers (and editors) who don't know how to describe the Frankenstein story -- referring to Bale's character as "Frankenstein"...when it sounds more like he is playing "the monster"?? "Frankenstein's monster"?? Come on, folks...do a little literary refreshing if you're going to constantly revisit these properties... Oh well, at least Warners now has the next-best thing to a Batman project in their Batman-less October slot... one of their most popular former Batmen coming back for one of the most famous stories ever told...

You folks are harsh, Grim. Sheesh. OK, I still think it's fair to say that "almost all" of the Batman live-action reboots include his origin. I thought we weren't judging people here based on "taste"? 😉 Don't worry, I didn't say I liked Snyder's (or even Nolan's) any better... 😁

Sorry, I guess most of The Batman was pretty forgettable to me! 😁😶

I'm assuming the translation more accurately would have James Gunn saying "flies", not "flees"...in which case he'd be revealing something more specific about a plotline...

...But every single Batman reboot has a flashback to Wayne's origins and parents' death, even if fans feel like they don't need it...It would be a real surprise to not see *any* of that, here...
