Really disappointed that I'm the one that had to point it out. I let the news simmer for a while trying to let someone else blast that softball out of the park.

I'll take the Joker .gif though.

Apparently Pattinson was paparazzi'd in a park with his girlfriend yesterday or today. Filming should resume soon.

As a result of Dune being pushed back I believe

Yep, because of Dune. Damn. I figured the most this would be pushed back was to that December 22, 2021 spot, but WB moved the fourth Matrix movie into that spot instead (up from 2022). I can't believe we got a trailer for this over a month a go, yet we we now have to 17 months until we see the movie itself. I know WB has liked that early-to-mid March spot for certain blockbusters in years past, but a Batman movie in March just feels weird. This should either be a big summer movie, an early October movie (like Joker and Blade Runner 2049, Halloween season, etc), or a big Thanksgiving/Christmas movie. It takes away some of the "event" feel releasing it at a time of year we don't really associate with blockbusters, especially one like this.

I feel like it'll just get moved again anyways. I don't think the movie delays are over.

I don't know. WW84 will no doubt move from December to some point in 2021, but WB has already left tons of room for it to do so. The next DC movie after it isn't until August 2021. So WW84 can slide back to spring or the first half of summer '21, no problem. Knock on wood, but I just can't see another massive shift. It's increasingly looking like we'll have a vaccine available to Average Joe Public by the spring, and once that happens, theater going will be back on in full force, if not a bit earlier, potentially. I could be wrong, of course, but I just can't see 2022 releases being significantly affected anymore.

I hope you're right. I was just really looking forward to seeing The Batman next fall. The October date seemed perfect for the tone of the film.
TCTTS

Agreed. Same. That was such a perfect date that proved so successful for WB last year with Joker.

Fauci, of all people, was on CNN tonight saying he's confident a vaccine will be widely available to the public by spring. He said it's going to first responders and essential workers by the end of this year, then on to the public as we move into 2021. But let's say theaters don't open again until next May. That STILL gives WB plenty of room to release WW84 in, say, June, and not have to shift their calendar back again hardly at all. I'm not saying Batman won't move again from spring to summer 2022, I'm just saying that I don't think it will *need* to.

Lots of set pics leaking out today, seemingly from the funeral scene from the trailer. Farrell, Turturro, Kravitz, and Pattinson all present! Also some pics of Dano as Riddler with a question mark on his jacket.

I'll see if I can find some during my break this afternoon.

Our first look at John Turturro as Carmine Falcone to Kravitz' left. In another picture she has her arm interlocked with his, as if they're a couple. So in this iteration, it looks like Selina Kyle and Carmine Falcone are an item.

I don't think this comment is a spoiler rather an educated guess, but I'll tag it just in case

I'd be willing to bet they are going a different direction based on what we've heard about this movie thus far

If the insinuation is that Kyle is likely using Falcone for some other purpose, I agree.

Batman, Penguin, Catwoman, Falcone

Maybe she's his daughter? Just an alternate theory.

If you look closely you'll see three scratches on his face, similar to those Catwoman gave Falcone in The Long Halloween and in the New 52 canon.

Oh, that's interesting. Though, you'd think she'd share his same last name if that was the case, but who knows.
AgfromHOU

In most iterations the Kyle name is one she adopted on her own, as her parentage has changed a ton over the 80 years of the character. Of course, Frank Miller also made her a former prostitute, so there's that...

No, this is all legitimately good to know. Makes the movie possibilities more interesting.

And specifically, she's a prostitute/dominatrix in Batman: Year One which I believe Reeves is pulling stuff from since this Batman is in year 2
AgfromHOU

Definitely seeing Year One, Long Halloween, and Ego.

If you read Ego, it makes the final scene of the trailer totally different.

Reeves says Ego was their biggest inspiration for the movie.

Spoilers for Ego: Bruce is visited by the demon spirit of Batman. He has to come to terms with his no kill rule and with Batman's brutality while also keeping Bruce's humanity.

My theory in how that relates to the movie: Seems like Reeves will have Bruce struggle with being Batman, and come to terms with it to grow into the Bruce Wayne and Batman we know

Aren't you a movie buff? Stay the hell away from that vaccine for at least a year! I've seen way too many zombie flicks...
