I did love Batman Forever as a kid and I still love it because of nostalgia but its certainly not what I want from a modern Batman movie, never cared for Burton’s Batman
A gritty Batman that takes shit seriously interacting with other superheroes and villains, I know people have issues with Snyder’s Batman but for me, its the closest to what iv wanted out of Batman and comics put on the big screen
Going from Batman fighting aliens and Darkseid alongside the JL to another trilogy of grounded Batman is just the complete opposite direction of what im interested in
That second to last part, that sounds good. Hopefully some really nice heavy hitters. If not day one, maybe month two or three for all I care, I can wait. Big ones next to the smaller titles we’ve been having, some real good stuff, some…not so good stuff would be very welcome.
Hard disagree. The more grounded the better, this is so much better than the space jumping pyjama clad magic wielders of Marvel.

Disagree, most of what works about NWH comes from the long history of Spider-Man films and the nostalgia associated with seeing… certain actors reprise their roles.
If Dafoe, Molina and… others were not involved with the film, I don’t think the film would be nearly as popular.
If you remove nostalgia from the equation, a majority of NWH’s home plot doesn’t make sense.
Even blinded by nostalgia some of the story STILL doesn’t make sense.
I’ve honestly never been a fan of Batman in the JL. I’ve always considered it to be utterly ridiculous.
I honestly prefer the darker, more grounded Batman, but I also don’t mind them embracing the weirdness that is the Batman universe. For all it’s faults, I actually enjoyed Gotham because it felt like a mixture of both worlds but with much worse writing and acting.
You’re still proving my point though lol. @ProgStopper
There’s no scenario where the Matrix or Ghostbusters would come close to touching Spider-Man (the biggest superhero oat) at the box office in 2021.
I don’t want to clutter up the thread with this though so I’ll just end it on this, I don’t think it’s fair to compare struggling IP’s to the one of the biggest IP’s in entertainment history.
Since im all in for Dying Light 2 and buying the Ultimate Edition digitally, im hoping for Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands as this is a game I want to play but don’t really want to buy. lol. Second choice would be Elden Ring.
My prediction for Game Pass deals for the first quarter of 2022 -
Rainbow Six Extraction (January)
The Evil Dead (February)
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands (March)
All three have an online co-op/mp component to them and with Stalker 2 being late April, they would have the first four months of 2022 covered.
Looking forward to Alan Wake 2 and Control 2. Crossfire X campaign is 50/50. Will see what it gets rated. What’s Condor???
Not surprised by this at all. At this point, im just waiting for John Wick 4.
Shazam is the best DC Movie
