Val357 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I really wish this film had been ready for October 1. Gotham, and Batman's world in general, just has such a dark (obviously) Autumn vibe to it. When I walk downtown on a dark, cool Autumn afternoon/evening, I feel Gotham. Maybe a weird sentiment haha but October just feels so right for Batman movies, like it did for Joker. WB did put it in that spot initially so they must feel that first weekend of October is a good spot. Not Batman related but films like Gravity and A Star is Born worked well for them in that spot too. They put Blade Runner 2049 there but not the best example. Anyway, just a random ramble of mine.

According to ViewerAnon, the movie supposedly begins on Halloween, so October would have been a fitting month to release this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lehnsherr Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Halloween is when you get people dressed in costumes designed to scare so oddly it does fit Batman very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh, right? Oh well, like I said it was planned for October 1 (after the original June 25 date as I'm just reading now, which makes sense too because Batman films were always June films for WB before The Dark Knight and Rises moved to the Nolan July slot) so WB obviously sees this too. A lot of dates are irregular due to the pandemic. Once everything starts to smooth out I could see WB scheduling future installments in October.

tonytr87 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I kind of resent it when superhero movies release outside of the summer and holiday corridors. They already rule the industry, do they have to rule every movie season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine the employers/studios/whatever they are won't cave on this strike, but crazier things have happened. So perhaps No Way Home will stay put. I may even skip The Batman. This is what's going to happen more and more as the glut continues. Edited October 14, 2021 by tonytr87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudalb Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 On the strike front: UK Film guilds said they will honor the IATSE strike which means that any film IATSE won;t work on will not be worked on in the UK. A delay for The Batman is now a strong possiblity if the strike happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
