There hasn't been a good Batman movie since 2008. Moon Knight could easily replace Batman to the new generation similar to how Captain America replaced Superman. 

You are not ever replacing Batman. LOLOL. If Zac Snyder or Joel Schumacher can’t kill that property, nothing will. IF ANYONE was to do it, it would’ve been Iron Man.  Batman is still standing. 

 

Superman got “replaced” due to (a) a couple of really shitty movies and (b) a generational shift. 

 

I always viewed DC’s Trinity as A reflection of three of the biggest American mythos, both the myth itself and the lie of the myth. 

 

Wonder Woman is the myth of liberty and justice for all.  But we all know how *that* turns out. Even just keeping it in within comics canon,  she had never been treated equally to her male counterparts. 

 

Superman is the myth of the great American melting pot. He’s an immigrant who comes to America, Anglicizes his name and customs, and fight for “truth justice and the American way”. Due to the raise of multicultural theory when we think about immigration, that really isn’t en vogue in 2019.

 

And Batman is the myth of the self-made man and social mobility. It’s the idea that even if you don’t have super powers, if you work really really hard you can become the most powerful superhero in the world.  We all know that’s a lie. Bruce’s super power is he’s billionaire.

 

But of the three myths, it is the one that people still want to cling to the most.   Which might be why Batman is also so resilient because of that Properties ability to adapt with the cultural times. 

 

The 1960s Batman for as goofy as we think it is today, really tapped into the 1960s counterculture.

 

The 1980s/1990s Batman is a Reagan nightmare of decadence and greed (at least the  Burton stuff)

 

And the 2000s  Batman Deals with that post 9/11 hysteria of what rights you will violate to protect the “people of Gotham”. 

 

So as long as Batman can continue this, he’s not going anywhere.

I wonder if sizzle reel is the same one that leaked. It should be.

The leaked reel was about the company as a whole. Not sure why they'd show it again at a film-specific panel.

Wait... Moon Knight, Ms. Marvel & She Hulk were all shown in a diagram that said "Phase 4"... so either a graphic designer messed up, or we're getting those shows in 2021??

Idk. I only know what Feige said.
