5 year wait between films, James Bond fans be like "first time?"

[marcuswilliams]

This is only acceptable if we get another HBO show in between. Why would they give us the penguin and then make us wait 3 years for a story in 2027 that takes place only a few months after the Batman 2022 events. This has done nothing but ruin the momentum that the penguin created and if he can’t keep fans invested into this world he created then it’s 100% his fault

[michaelsinger]

Robert Pattinson is gonna be in his 40’s playing a “young” Batman

[FloFlo]

Half a decade for a sequel is crazy to think about. 5 to 10 years old is a huge jump

[TheWickedBob]

I 100% think if Gunn drops his Batman first and that shit SLAPS, it will heavily wound what Reeve's The Batman 2 can accomplish. I feel like a lot of people will gravitate towards an all included verse of heroes rather than sporatic releases of the same hero but unrelated to the building verse.

In a span of 5 years James Gunn has written and directed

The Suicide Squad
GOTG : Christmas Special
Peacemaker
GOTG Vol 3
Creature Commandos
Superman
Peacemaker 2

So far all have been amazing, excusing Superman and Peacemaker 2

[chadbailey]

No he’s right, if Brave and Bold comes out and is a HIT, enthusiasm will DEFINITELY fade for the 2nd film

[keefriff]

As much as I enjoyed The Batman, it feels like it’s been in limbo since it was released. It did over $700 million at the box office, but it was a quiet $700 mil, with people even trying to insist it underperformed.

And even though it was generally well-liked, it doesn’t feel like it’s had much staying power with fans. Couple that with it being neither a part of the old DCEU or the new Gunn-verse, and it feels like it might whither away and die on the vine.

[pjpatron]

At this rate Batman character is going to enter the Public Domain before The Batman part 3.

[danielwander]

This is ridiculous. I think The Dark Knight to Dark Knight Rises was about 4 years. But have to also remember that Nolan released movies in between his Batman movies. The Prestige and Inception. So in a 5 year period he did: Begins, Prestige, Dark Knight, and Inception. 4 great movies.

[LarryHayward-vp]

Don’t worry we got Sonic 4 before Batman 2 guys💯💯💯

[angelicacate]

i will wait for 2027 than rush the script for the fans. just please make a great movie matt i will wait 2 years

[emilio]

I enjoyed The Batman as a lifelong Bats fan (mostly on film). I really like Reeves and I liked his take of Bats, but I wouldn’t be heartbroken if they canned this universe and just shifted to Gunns Batman. The whole realistic take angle has been done already with Nolan, and it’s still fresh in our minds. It feels like worn territory. I would really like to see a more fantastical Bats again, a Bats who can swing his grappling hook at any time, but done right and not done the Schumacher way.

[SuperMayne]

I'm sure Zaslav is not happy about a 5+ year gap between his most profitable comic character. Absolutely ludicrous to wait this long, I say they keep developing the DCU's Batman movie and whichever is ready first gets the green light at this point

[Ichsukatanuka]

Low key matt reeves is just a perfectionist, 5 years is crazy

[gsotelo]

At this point they need to start hiring actors at 20 for these roles so we can get a decent number of movies from them before they get too old to play these roles

[randhisramiah]

The problem is james gunn new batman movie. They cant have both batman movies at same time.

[harrisd]

If Reeves can't work in a franchise movies at the level he needs to then he should be let go.

It isn't a knock on him. Not everyone can work in that environment.

You have to be able to finish scripts and movies in a timely matter because you are working with people that you can't easily replace.

Actors get older and they need to stay in peak physical shape which isn't easy.

[WAYNE]

We are getting GTA 6 before The Batman 2

[blainemurphy]

TDK and TDKR are 4 years apart and Inception is in-between.
