All this discussion about the Riddler outfit is hilarious. It was trending all day and created a lot of viral tweets, just because of his look.

The people hating on it have clearly never seen the creepiest/nastiest scene from Zodiac…

NWH made $14 mil on its 4th saturday despite the raging of omicron, people don't care about it when it comes to tentpole movies

 

Tentpoles that they want to see. Some tentpoles did OK (with lots of "would have done better w/o corona I swear" copium), some achieved pre-pandemic levels proving that covid doesn't stop people from watching what they really want to watch.

Yeah, i too think the timing of the movie is not that great. people want something more cheerful, optimistic, colourful during these dark times.

 

Joker had the general public hyping the movie. I just don't see this Batman catching the attention of the general audience, just the hardcore fans. they are plenty, but i don't predict a big breakout

 

I'm with you on this one.  I'm a fan of the filmmaker, but I just think at this particular time...unless things really flip positively in 4 weeks, ironically this movie will hit with an OOF instead of a SMASH.  Bat-fanboys will always come out...will everyone else, considering the mood, and that they will gradually find out it will be streaming by mid-April?

All these twitter guys post the exact same 3 takes that they rotate between every few months. Surely it gets tiresome.

My personal favorite is when the "Why doesn't Bruce Wayne invest in ending homelessness and crime in Gotham?" takes come up every 3 weeks.

Which might bite people in the butt.........

 

And talking about movie scores before anybody outside the people at Warners have seen the movie seems way premature.

IE; we don't want to make the same mistakes we made with WW84's release.

Particularly if they think this is a much better movie then WW84

Problem is people want to see the Riddler, not Zodiac.

Delaying would be unbelievably stupid

Is there any basis for this belief that audiences don’t want to watch “dark” movies during the pandemic?

The use of the words "day" and "date" made me worry for a split sec it was going on HBO Max at the same time

 

The Batman will be fine come March still thinking O/U $140M OW. 

 

I'd like to see a more fun Batman too but what they're doing looks great so far so no complaints.

There’s none.  It’s just biased opinions on here.

Lol What other movie outside of NWH can do that during the COVID era? The good or bad reactions to The Riddler's picture is only adding more attention for the movie that already has a lot of hype. Hopefully WB sticks with that March 4th date.

 

I'm still confused on why it took this long after 3 trailers for that kind of reaction. That picture was released back in December.

After two years, most people don’t care how the virus works

I don’t see a problem at all with a take on the Riddler that is reminiscent of the Zodiac killer, it’s one of the main things that piquing my interest in this film. I mean let’s face it, they both taunt their would-be-captors with riddles. It’s hardly an out of the realms of possibility stretch…
