I wonder who was the guy being killed at the beginning. The Mayor, perhaps? Some other suitably high-ranking, wealthy Gotham citizen?I've rewatched this several times and I'm just loving the duct tape sound effects, lol

Brandon Lee vibes
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?

I don't think those are Joker goons. I think they're Penguin's gang (the black & white facepaint)In the teaser, we see what looks like a gang of Joker wannabes.

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.People of the internet....STOP trying to connect the Joker movie to this. They are both their own thing. I know Marvel/Disney has conditioned you throughout the years to think that everything has to be connected....it's not.
Lol. Was thinking the same thing.
The fact this man has never played the Joker in a movie is a global tragedy.
The marks on the lips really make me think of the Joker's smile, but I suppose you could be right.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 at 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
Same.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, rather than a cool trailer concealing a mess.
I love the Nolan films, but I still laugh in Begins when they make it further clear how great the Waynes have always been, always being on the right side of history. When Alfred and Bruce explore the caves beneath the manor, Alfred mentions they were used to help slaves escape via the underground railroad. Like, come on! This rich fuck family has been THAT good for a century plus?
I think I'm just going to pretend this movie takes the place of Batman Forever.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.
How the hell did you end up with this conclusion?
Phoenix would be the perfect Joker for this Batman. Change my mind.

Oh good it wasn't just me.Also Robert Battison in that eyeshadow make up is doing something to me.

I'm glad they're finally acknowledging that Bruce spends half the day wearing eyeshadow.
Normalize make up for men.

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.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
But what if... Arthur awkwardly runs down a street and hops on a train? Truly Batman won't be able to handle that.BatmanBeatingtheShitOutofAGuy.gif
Oh yeah, poor little loser Arthur Fleck is totally a threat to him
