This looks fantastic. I'm super hyped for Riddler. IMO he's the best Batman villain.

Which Riddler you like?

The classic version that always hated the Joker and his ways?

Or perhaps the current a little-but-still homicidal version?

i've watched the trailer 10 times already.. i'm super pumped for this

Getting a Netflix Daredevil vibe...which is a good thing.

DC movies need more things like this and less Zack Snyder.

Classic, though I LOVE his current take in the New 52. That established him as a bigger threat than the Joker in the War of Jokes and Riddles. The dude was just too much for Batman and Joker to keep up with, and it was cool seeing him play a proper threat. Hush was also a great story for him, if they need material.

TBH I'm not a super fan of them turning Riddler into your typical voice changer equipped serial killer you'd get in any detective novel, but I get they're trying to make him more intimidating (plus all the Zodiac killer inspiration is interesting). I'm also not a fan of his motivation being to punish the corruption in Gothams elite. We already got that with the League/Ra's, and it seems kind of cookie cutter. It's also not something he's given any kind of thought to in comics. On the other hand, I've also heard peoples theories that he's going after the Court of Owls which would be fantastic, so I'm not completely opposed to the idea.

I'll be happy as long as they keep his genius and narcissism intact though. The first has always been his biggest strength, and the second has always been his biggest weakness. As long as that translates, I'm good. Also, Paul Dano probably the best actor in this movie (which is saying something since Ferrel and Pattinson are both heavy hitters).

Bruce already looks superior to any MCU Avenger in combat ability.

Why, because it took him several hits to down a common street thug?

Movie looks good, but I have to admit that i'm getting a bit tired of the rehashed villains and such. How many different takes of Catwoman, Joker, Riddler, and Penguin does the world need?

Riddler has only been done once on film if we're ignoring the Adam West movie tv movie, I'm ok with seeing Riddler again...i agree with the others tho.

You realise his comment is bait, right?

Somebody already figured out Riddler's riddle.

What does a liar do when he dies?

Spoiler:
He lies still.

Colin Farrell is unrecognizable as Penguin.

I liked the trailer. Looking forward to this still.

Pattinson doesn't look like what I imagine Bruce Wayne from that trailer, but neither did Michael Keaton and his two Batman flicks were/are great fun.

And since this is supposedly Batman in his 2nd year on the job, him being a bit smaller is acceptable.

In costume, he's got the chin/jawline for it though

I admit it looks good. Visually it doesn't look too terribly different from Nolan's vision, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I wouldn't mind a little more stylized production design, though, like the original Tim Burton film.

I felt the same at first, but on a rewatch of the trailer, I got a stronger comic book vibe than Nolan's more realistic approach to Batman.

does anyone think, we might see barbara gordon in this

One thing Reeves said, that I liked, was that Gotham itself was going to be treated like its own character. They actually went and copied a lot of gothic architecture so that it would actually have a distinctive look.

I think that's one thing that will set the movie apart from Nolan's trilogy.

If she is, I imagine she'd be very young.

Can't stop watching the trailer. By far my most anticipated film of 2021.
