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

[ThomasNicole]

MCU always have more impressive trailer stats, it’s not really comparable.

 

The Batman will probably reach 600k likes on it’s first day and reach 1M eventually, only Joker reach that.

 

This will be huge if things becomes better before it’s release date. 

[Maggie]

Yeah, it will reach 1M likes eventually, like the Joker did. But is it just me ...i just don't feel the massive hype the Joker trailer had. That was insane.

[redfirebird2008]

I don’t mind the dark tone. But the visual style feels a little off to me. Based on the Apes movies, I expected Reeves to come up with cooler looking stuff for the Batmobile and Batman’s suit. But that is minor in the grand scheme. Hopefully the story is good. That is the main thing we want. 

[Maggie]

The trailer, to me, feels small. It's an ok trailer, i really don't get the high praise. Looks to me like the movie will be smaller scale, not grandiose. I read it's gonna be a detective story. The Seven comparison is apt, but didn't that movie flop? Not saying this will flop, that's impossible. Joker i feel is the exemption. Joaquin was perfect for the role. His transformation was incredible.  I ain't on board with RPatz and the rest of the cast is insignificant

Everything you're saying here is why I'm giving it high praise. Smaller scale Batman movie focusing on the character actually being the world's greatest detective for once.

This is the same thing I said in the other thread. It’s not really comparable anymore.

 

Also, people have to remember that the initial first run of trailer views for this were done on the live stream on Fandome.com, but either way it doesn’t really matter.

 

All you have to do is look at trailer views for Aquaman( which had ok trailer views) and broke out big (especially overseas).

 

This will do very well if they maintain this hype and Reeves does what it seems like he’ll do with this.

That's cool, but the movie needs something to stand out, in order to make the big bucks at the BO. Like a Joaquin performance, or a big glorious setting, idk if the story if it's indeed good will be enough to set the BO on fire.

I would say it’s about time for superhero movies to scale down on the bloated storytelling we have seen the last 20 years. Bunch of empty 3rd acts that are more about showing off the talent of CGI artists than telling a good story.

Not to mention that Shazam's trailer pulled better numbers than Aquamans. And the second trailer for this will be even bigger than this one.

It was pretty obvious for a while now that this would be a smaller movie. It’s consistently been described as a noir style detective story. I would’ve liked to have seen a Batman movie with characters like Clayface and Man-Bat, but that clearly wasn’t going to be on the table for this movie, at the very least. 

 

By the way, I have a feeling that Matt Reeves is trying to build up the Court of Owls as the main villains of this trilogy.

Show something new is something that stand out to me.

 

We already see billions of blockbusters with big sets, giant effects etc every year.

 

A movie truly focused on the script, with good discussions, this is what the character deserves. And also Rob performance seems great honestly, Matt already said it’s a movie with a broken, raw, angry Batman, and you can see all of that with just one look of Pattinson.

 

I could easily see this Batman and Joaquin’s Joker in the same movie actually, let’s hope it will happen eventually.

They still need to film 75% of the movie. So maybe thats why the scope feels small

I really liked the tone. And best of all. Its a tone where you could see Joaquins Joker fit perfectly IMO

It doesn't look like a huge budget movie like all the last Batmans movie does it? Is less than $150 million possible? If so, it can earn an insane profit...

Based on everything Matt said and what we see on the trailer, i guess the budget it’s around $ 90-100M.

 

Enough for good action scenes and cool visuals but way smaller than a typical CGI heavy movie.

My impression was also the Birds of Prey and Shazam's budget ($80-100 million). Gosh, imagine the profit...

It grossed $327.3 million from a $33 million budget and was the seventh (heh) highest-grossing film of 1995.

 

Fight Club is the one that flopped. And The Game. And also Zodiac.

[reddevil19]

Wait... Now there's some kind of an issue regarding SCOPE? Not enough sky beams? Jesus Christ, BOT... 

[Barnack]

Is it just me (or my screens ?) that find the quality of the compression of the trailers online to be lacking ? I tried many of them.

The Buzz generated by the trailer for this movie is (at least) on the same level as the Joker imo ((it's bigger than I expected, they filmed only 25% of the film and they didn't have much to show), pretty good.

Joker was huge on youtube too tho. Not just twitter. Both trailers have north of 80m views with the 2nd being at 90m+ and both over 1m likes. I don't see this reaching said numbers. It's 2nd trailer as per usual won't be as big

[charlie Jatinder]

I won't really care about Twitter views as they count 2 seconds autoplay.

 

Youtube views however are better than Wonder Woman which had like 22mn views in first 24 hours, compared to like 26mn for this one. Joker I reckon was ahead.
