The Batman (June 25, 2021)

[punisher1974]

Walter Hamada is the guy in charge of DC Films, but looks like Toby Emmerich is the Chairman of the Film Group. I'd go with those two as the shot callers while DiscoveryMax or whatever also would have a say what plays on their platform.

They might still be getting over the damage done with the rest of the year of films same day release with Max. The Batman could be a new start for them, at least on the quality side. Pretty clear they just keep after the money with the patchwork instead of burning the SnyderVerse down. They should do goodwill with doing a cheaper JL2/3 for Max. Clearly there is still a market for it, but you don't need the extraordinary budget. People want a Gotham PD over JL2/3? No way.

I gotta say I really like Venom signature.

We really need a new trailer for this. First one was great but I have high hopes for the next one...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Best they stay quiet until they have something good.


Someone needs to change the release date in the thread title.

What an odd statement. No offense, just an observation of how we think about marketing and movie trailers. The truth is, the trailer and the quality of the film are almost two different things, so regardless of if the trailer is good or bad, it really doesn't change the outcome of the film, whatever that is, but we judge trailers and we expect certain things from them, almost like they're short films. So many trailers are better than the actual films nowadays too. Hopefully, this film is good and the nex trailer gives us a better look at Riddler, but if it doesn't, it holds no barring on the actual film.

What exactly is odd about what he said? He didn't say anything about the quality of the film. He simply said he has high hopes for the next trailer.

The idea of wanting a trailer to be good. It's just one aspect of marketing, yet trailers have become their own little attraction or work of art. Some people cry watching trailers. We have teasers for teaser trailers and teaser trailers for full trailers. The whole thing is strange. It's almost as if trailers are now their own separate experience. I'm not criticizing him or anyone because I'm guilty of it too. It's just the way it is now. Trailers have evolved into some kind of art form for people to judge and critique, that's all. Watch trailers from previous decades and they're very different. Even average films and tv shows have decent trailers nowadays with how they're edited and the music they use. Some trailers even use footage that's not in the movie to enhance the "trailer experience", something Marvel is known for doing like when they had Hulk in the IW trailer running alongside Cap in Wakanda. It happens at the end of the trailer too, as if it was the third act or climax of the experience. Like films, there must be some kind of structure involve in creating a trailer. It's clever.

Because I want to see more of a film I'm genuinely excited to see?

Because I want to see more of a film I'm genuinely excited to see?

It's not just wanting to watch more footage.
It's not just quantity.
It's the quality and presentation of that footage that we're really excited to see.

The quality of the first trailer was so good I'm anticipating the same for the next trailer.

Some of the film was shot local to me so it will be good to see buildings and locations I know in a Batman film.

That trailer was very good imo. I can’t wait for Dc fandom . I also can’t wait for the heel turn everyone is going to do once the movie comes out and people say it’ll be the best Batman film ever made. It’s coming

only another 30 or so days to wait.

Has the potential to be...

Yep!

I've been on the hype train since the beginning. Very optimistic on this one.

[Wor-Gar]

Some of the best movies ever made had the worst trailers ever.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

I bet this trailer was mind blowing back then. I'd love to see a modern version with today's music and editing and no voice over guy.

Lol isn’t it when someone changes there fune all of a sudden

It's when a good guy becomes a bad guy. So, people loving the film now, and then hating it after it comes out would be a heel turn, imo.
