I wonder who was the guy being killed at the beginning. The Mayor, perhaps? Some other suitably high-ranking, wealthy Gotham citizen?

The Batman Trailer

Even as someone that was cautiously optimistic at best about this (Always figured Pattinson was a great choice, tho), that blew me the fuck away.
And the suit looks way better in practice than I thought it would. I'm in.

Probably. My guess is that the Riddler sees himself as a sort of hero in his own right and is leading Batman along a trail of bread crumbs to expose some kind of heavy-duty corruption/scandal within Gotham. Maybe Riddler is some sort of deranged whistleblower? It's obvious Riddler already knows who Batman is, so whatever Riddler is doing in the movie, he has to have some kind of position that gives him insight into what's going on behind the scenes.
In the teaser, we see what looks like a gang of Joker wannabes. I'm wondering which comes first--the gang, or the man. In other words, is there already a Joker, and these are his guys, or does one of these guys end up becoming the Joker later on?
LOL. I didn't mean to have that in my post. I was originally going to respond to someone some pages back, and then decided not to.
But, yeah, the thing I wonder is if he already exists and just won't be in this one, or will he be new to Gotham in the sequel. It will be interesting to see what they do with him either way.
I don't think those are Joker goons. I think they're Penguin's gang (the black & white facepaint)
That scene with Cobblepot at the garage seems like the same location as the goon beatdown; the same henchmen shoot Batman later in the trailer. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the opening intro action sequence for Batman
You act like we didn't get years of the DCEU conditioning people to get hyped up about their own universe before being inexplicably dropped (but maybe not). We are still getting movies with Aquaman and Wonder Woman that were part of the DCEU and now getting the DCEU Flash with Batfleck returning and plenty of multiverse crossovers. The Suicide Squad is a soft reboot with several of the same actors/characters as Suicide Squad.
Basically the DCEU still exists, they just get to cherry pick when it will exist and when it won't, rather than being mandated to make it all fit together. The perfect scenario of having their cake and eating it too, which means this sort of discussion is something that is being encouraged and will not go away.
Leto's scenes must be planned for later in the production, so they didn't have any shots of him to use yet.
It's even better than I imagined it
Defoe as the Joker vs Pattinson would be too good.
The marks on the lips really make me think of the Joker's smile, but I suppose you could be right.
The "LIES" is painted over a bunch of newspapers that say stuff like Don's winning and King Don. I guess Don Falcone is a politician in this?
I always like an athletic-looking, Neal Adams Batman who can do flips and cool martial arts over the hulking, rubber-suited bodybuilder Batman we always see in the movies.
Mega disappoinment. I don't want grimdark, I want noir.
Hopefully the trailer is deceptive in the opposite way Snyder trailers are: a miserable bummer of a trailer concealing a good movie with a balanced tone, rather than a cool trailer concealing a sad dark mess.

Same.
I really didn't get a grimdark feeling from the trailer. It felt grounded, and seemed like it matched what Reeves talked about in terms of it being a more investigative-focused Batman.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As has been observed repeatedly, the trailer has a really cool 90's gothic vibe to it. Reminiscent of the Crow and Batman Returns. It's something I've wanted to see come back for a while. Though I can understand that might be off putting for some nowadays.
I just love seeing Riddler motifs in a big budget Batman movie again. Lame as Batman Forever might be, that was a fond part of my childhood.
Begins is my favorite Batman movie but the lionizing of the Wayne's is honestly kind of embarrassing to me nowadays.
Closer look at the card

I think I'm just going to pretend this movie takes the place of Batman Forever.
His joker would have his face punched in by this batman in a second. He's not smart. They're going for a detective Batman. The Phoenix joker isn't fooling anyone.
I think this is probably the case. I think they are mixing up elements of Long Halloween etc so I guess there will be some thing where the Riddler is, say, Falcone or Maronis son, maybe Maroni as a reverse of the book. Maybe Falcone killed off Maroni and then managed to set himself up as a "legit" politician while carrying on the other stuff behind the door but the Riddler knows that was based on dodgy deeds and sets out to expose him. The "If you are justice, please do not lie" type thing and the messages directly to Batman seem like he maybe sees them as kindred spirits, "you are part of this too." Either part of it because the Waynes were involved or part of it because he is supposed to also be fighting for justice / vengeance.
A bit'a smokey eye is a sure fire way to get the heart pumping

Oh yeah, poor little loser Arthur Fleck is totally a threat to him
I hope WB is smart and takes advantage of having to stop filming and films part 2 simultaneously with what's left of this one
I think the smart thing would be to finish the one movie in the window of time they get to go back into production. We're currently living in a time where the future is pretty undetermined. Shit could go back to being just as bad as when the pandemic started or worse. Best not to invest more money into a sequel. At least not right now.
But what if... Arthur awkwardly runs down a street and hops on a train? Truly Batman won't be able to handle that.
Ok... do you mean the one we already got
Or do you mean Phoenix doing a new interpretation for this world?
Yeah I think seven foot tall Joker would be a match for Robert "sparkles" Pattinson.
