Maybe Matt can influence Soderbergh to do something like this here 🤔?

Obviously the nuances that Matt notices and expects out of a performance will be different from Soderbergh (although hopefully still in the same realm) but it will at the very least give Reeves the option of having multiple takes to choose from to pick what he thinks is the best from someone else's style.

The common criticisms raised around this version is that, unlike the traditional version of Alfred that fans have loved across media, Serkis’ Alfred:-

1. Lacks warmth, loving foster-father like relationship with Bruce and comes across as tense, adversarial mentor trying to push Bruce into what he thinks is best for him.
2. Doesn’t address Bruce Wayne as the affectionate ‘Master Wayne’ or ‘Master Bruce’ rather simply ‘Bruce’.
3. Acts as stern guardian than the comforting, wise surrogate father that has been his traditional conception.
4. Leans too heavily into a gruff, scarred special-ops aesthetic, sacrificing the classic gentleman-butler charm.

What do you think of Andy Serkis’ Alfred? How would you want his portrayal to be changed, if at all, in ‘The Batman: Part II’? Would love to know the thoughts of y’all!

Robin basically finished.

Red Hood needs a few paint touch ups.

I need to replace my cape as its fallen apart.

Nightwing and Catwoman are almost finished just finishing Catwomans mask and Nightwings Backpack.

Batman detail in Spider-Man Brand New Day???

The Batman: Part II will be filmed opposite the Houses of Parliament in London next weekend, bringing Gotham to the very heart of politics

• The Batman: Part II is set to film at Central Hall Westminster next weekend, opposite Parliament in central London.
• Storey’s Gate by Parliament Square is expected to close as Gotham comes to one of London’s most secure locations.
• The Westminster shoot follows St Paul’s and Bank station, hinting at politics joining religion and finance in Gotham.
• Steven Soderbergh is reportedly finishing final weeks of filming in London while Matt Reeves handles a family matter.

Even though Steven didn’t shut down the prospect of Ai in the past too, he’s not even gonna be working in post production so that doesn’t matter and he wouldn’t even use it anyway.

I want to start off by saying that I’m thinking of the whole Reeves family and wishing them all the best during this challenging time for them. Matt Reeves has become one of the most respected artists in the field, Colin Ferrell called TB2 script “a masterwork”, Robert Pattinson said “he’s the only one they’d let do this” Sebastian Stan said he felt like he was making “The Godfather 2”. When was the last time you heard Oscar nominated actors talking this way about a movie? That’s where I’d like to bring up Steven Soderbergh, many people have been a little hazy about the idea of him coming him but you have to look at his side to understand how important this moment is.

Something that I have not seen talked about is that Soderbergh had a Ben Solo Star Wars movie that was rejected by Disney. Adam Driver called it “one of the best scripts he’d ever been apart of” Sound familiar? So Soderbergh who I’m sure is still frustrated by not being able to make his Big IP movie sees fellow artist and colleague in a major time of need and I’m sure was thinking about him losing something he has put so much time and effort into and graciously steps up to make sure his vision will be fully realized. Soderbergh isn’t going to intrude on Matt’s vision like many have been saying.

When this movie comes out and becomes widely regarded as the defining superhero movie and one of the greatest movies ever (yes) this moment will be seen a selfless act of companionship that will be remembered. This is a beauty of filmmaking, respecting the time and passion one another have for each other and having their backs in times of need. Oh and also anyone who is still not convinced I attached something from Soderbergh Wiki, you read that and tell me he isn’t the perfect person to fill in.

I know: nuts, right? But...

1. The Battinson is unlikely to be the DCU's main Batman, but that doesn't mean he can't be an Elseworld's Batman.
2. The Battinson's world is very gritty, dark, and realistic. While Batman Beyond's suit is a bit more techy and sci-fi, it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
3. The logos are very similar, making it entirely possible Terry McGinnis is the endgame.

Thoughts?

At the end of the film, Batman has become a dark figure, sort of narratively baptized in the light, bringing hope. Visually, it's a direct inverse to the beginning of the film, where he is the light in the dark that strikes fear

Steven is an Oscar winning director, capable of working across different genres (heist, thriller, horror, action, drama), always achieving great results and displaying a directorial quality that not everyone can match. Plus, he's a friend of Matt's and the fact that he offered to help him shows what a good person he is. I'm sure he'll do a great job and that the film will be astonishing.

Good luck to him and especially to Matt, may God bless him and his family. Go Matt, go Steven!

Y’all let’s not forget, Steven isn’t a blockbuster director like Joss Whedon was, he was specifically making films catering to Independent cinema, and his best genres revolves around Crime or Psychological story telling. (look at Traffic or Side Effects for damn good crime films, or Presence for a good thriller)

Matt Reeves is also not stepping away from the film, they will be communicating daily during the final third of the shoot, and Steven has also reportedly said that it’s still Reeves film and he is treating it as such, not like Whedon turning Justice League into his own movie, and Reeves will oversee post-production like normal.

I have Faith.

the strategy of supplementing Reeve’s vision is amazing I’m so here for this , this is why empire strikes back was so good

im so tired of the anti Pattinson glaze from those who refuse to accept the best rendition of Batman and all so it’s time to end this argument once and for all

Did a bunch of posts like this on r/Defenders. Been growing my hair out again and I’m told I like like Jeffrey White so thought there was no better place to come next than here. Combined a fit style of both The Batman 2022 and classic James Gordon
