Hell yes! The teaser looks like it could be in the same world as Joaquin's Joker.   According to Matt Reeves, it's Batman in year two.  “It’s not an origins tale, but you’re meeting him in the early days. A lot of the other (cinema) stories showed he had to master his fear and himself, to become Batman........we met in the middle of this criminological experiment and watch him make mistakes.”  “He’s not having any of the effect that he want to have, that’s when the murders begin to happen."

New trailer - still not sure the world needs another damn Batman movie at this stage, but good trailer nonetheless.

March should be an interesting month with this coming out and then Marvel’s Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness coming out a few weeks later. Though, I fully expect Marvel to kick DC’s ass at the box office as usual.

The last real Batman movie was in 2012, but I get what you're saying.  LOL   I could watch a new Batman movie every couple of years.

Everything about this new movie looks good.  Most excited to see Paul Dano's Riddler.

This movie was incredible!  It definitely wasn't a "superhero film".....it was basically a crime/mystery film with Batman in it.  Loved the dark, suspenseful and creepy mood/tone of the movie.

Michael Giacchino is one of my favourite composers and he did not disappoint.

I could really see it getting Oscar nominations next year for: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Paul Dano), Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, Best Sound.  It was definitely worth it to see the movie in IMAX just for the technical stuff.

I thought it was well-crafted from a technical standpoint, but way too long for what it should have been and could have been better edited. There were structural issues with plotting and pacing that I couldn't get over while watching it. Also, I can't say I was blown away by most of the casting - no one was bad, and Pattinson actually did a believable enough job, but I generally found the cast to be pretty by the numbers. It was more of a film noir mystery, but sadly, the actual mystery was pretty straightforward to me (and I didn't read any spoilers) and I was never left on the edge of my seating guessing. 

The cinematography is amazing though.

    • Good riddance, Brad! What a waste of a potentially decent character.

    • Does anyone know which head writer introduced the Marriott family?  That is about the time I noticed something important had changed in the writing for Love of Life. Everything was really falling apart, and I could hardly get through an episode.  But I will admit, Hugh Marlowe's son was a beautiful man. He played the Marriott son, maybe his name was Andy.  Not sure.  
    • I like Dani and I love that she's protective but she was doing way too much with Eva/Nicole
    • so the first 20 minutes was Leslie fantasizing about Ted, the beginning of Dani/Nicole, and the beginnings of some of the other scenes that aired in part on the east coast? The Eva/Leslie scene sounds amazing from the Canadian recappers.  Only one hour until it's uploaded online and I can watch!
    • My DVR recording was about the new Pope for 20 minutes

    • Just noticed that Tyler Topits was listed as a breakdown writer on Days today. Don't know if that's a first time or not. I know he's a writers assistant and has written scripts before.
    • Yeah.  Dante needs talk to his son about binge drinking instead of running around town yelling at everyone lol. Jason should be a little more on top of what's happening with his son, but I thought both Rocco and Danny were supposed to go to a baseball game with Dante last night anyhow.

    • With Raven & Draper, it's more "past-shadowing" than "foreshadowing".   Draper dated Raven a couple of years earlier (1976 or 1977).  Draper's father is a sleazy but successful attorney named Ansel Scott.  Ansel Scott became engaged to a vain, wealthy, middle-aged widow named Mrs. Nadine Alexander.  Nadine's husband had been dead for many years, but she had a nubile, shallow, selfish daughter named Raven Alexander who was about Draper's age.  Nadine thought it would be WONDERFUL if Draper took Raven out to dinner and showed her a few nice evenings.  He obliged.  But it soon became evident that Raven had a "daddy fixation" -- Raven didn't care much for her mother, but she was practically in love with the memory of her deceased father.  Since her father was no longer around, Raven decided her new stepfather (Ansel Scott) would be a suitable substitute, so she began batting her eyes and wiggling her ass at Ansel.  Ultimately, Ansel Scott and Nadine Alexander got married and moved to London.  To Draper, Raven is nothing more than the horrible girl who was always attempting to seduce his father.   To make herself even MORE unlikable to Draper (and to April), Raven lied for several months about the paternity of her baby, little Jamey Swift.  She told April that Draper had fathered the child, as Kevin Jamison was sterile.  Well, really it was Logan Swift who'd gotten her pregnant, but she did her best to make April believe Draper was the baby daddy. April and Draper absolutely can't stand Raven -- but April LOVES Jamey Swift, as April had a miscarriage and lost her baby and can theoretically never get pregnant again.  April thinks of Jamey Swift as the baby she'll never have.  If Raven ever announces any intention of moving to London to be with Nadine and Ansel, you can already guess where she'll be dumping Jamey, lol.    In my opinion, Margo is one of the most fascinating characters on the show.  She's like a contagion, contaminating everyone she touches, but she's so forlorn and needy that you can't help but love her.  The actress (Ann Williams) puts a tremendous amount of depth into Margo Huntington.   
    • She, the star of the show that she is, was fantastic in the episode, and the scene does include her, but it's more on the embarrassing side of things, much more. It's certainly a fresh idea, I can say that.
