The Batman | March 4, 2022 | Warner Bros. | Certified Fresh on RT | 7th Most Profitable Movie of 2023

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.

Halloween is when you get people dressed in costumes designed to scare so oddly it does fit Batman very well.

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.

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?

Soon you will have one every month. Already we are not that far off in 2022 :-)

At the very least, next year has Feb, April, June, August, September devoid of them. And I won't be seeing Spider-verse 2, so Oct as well, for me anyways. 

 

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.

I want it to be The Batman, but it would be so fucking hilarious if it turned out he's talking about the next Jurassic World.

The Batman poster with the crimson red is a thing of beauty. Wow.

I'm getting real horror/thriller vibes from those posters, and I am all for it.

Reeves wasn't lying about the Se7en influences.

But how can I tell who is in this movie without the actors' giant heads floating in the background?

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.
