I don't care for grounded vs fantastical, just good films. And action. Nolan never delivered on the fight scenes. I want John Wick level action. Only got that in one scene in Batman v Superman (warehouse fight).

According to The Wrap, Icelandic police reported that they were never called to the scene and no injuries were reported. Hence Miller is not under investigation.

I believe Reeve cited The Long Halloween as a source so we may get a mix of realism and comic book fantastical-ness.
I'm not a fan of Court of Owl either.. but i'd absolutely LOVE to see Man-Bat included in a movie... that was just set me over the moon.
As for Reeves quote ". “I just felt like well, what I’d love to do is to get a version of this Batman character where he’s not yet fully formed. Where there’s something to do in this context with who that guy would be in this world today, and to ground him in all of these broken ways. Because at the end of the day, this guy is doing all of this to deal with trauma in his past.”
man... how is that not the same thing we've seen forever now? How can anyone look at the various batman franchises and say "I know what we need... an origin story and we'll be sure to lampshade his personal childhood trauma!!! That's new and refreshing!!
What I want from a Batman movie... a FULLY FORMED Batman. I want one that is already established, already awesome. Nolan never gave us that. Everything about that franchise just felt new and rookie. I want the bat-signal to already exist and strike fear in the criminals.. And not one that is old and broken down... I don't want Year-one... I don't Want DKR. I want a solid legitimate Batman in the prime of his life. Something similar to the Animated Series.
Frankly I don't think I've actually seen THAT Batman since Schumaker. Nobody's actually done a 'serious' version of that character since Batman Returns.
Just wanted to say, Aquaman is my favorite DCEU movie but will not be supporting part 2 if Heard is still in it. Don’t have any strong thoughts on the Miller situation. Though i almost feel bad for whoever helms the new Harry Potter movies if they have to deal with Dumbledoor’s brother being in the dog house right after Grindlewald is back in the clear....which he totally is for all intents and purposes. Even Heard’s PI couldn’t get any dirt on Depp. Just wanted to throw that out here. Not into cancel culture, i don't think lives need to be ruined for not being perfect, but what she did was not ok, hell she kinda embodies the more problematic side of cancel culture.

I will watch Aquaman 2 no matter what. I don't care about the actors personal problems. Unless it's something really bad or abusive. Heard and Depp issues so far, meh, don't care so far at all. If she goes to jail, oh well, too bad, I liked her as Mera. If she stays, yay.
If it looks like no criminal charges were brought then I'd assume this wasn't assault, and was just Miller and possibly the woman making big enough asses out of themselves to be banned from the store. Embarrassing, but far from criminal. But I don't know how stringent Iceland is when it comes to assault, either, especially against a woman.

I hope this is a wake up call for Ezra Miller. Dude has enough talent and it'd be sad to see him lose himself to drugs or whatever. Plus I liked him as The Flash. Can we DC fans have good things besides endless Batman and family movies? Geez... no wonder Marvel is kicking DC's butt..
Good thing the flash tv show is so good. It's not the worse thing in the world to have the movie get canned. Aquaman 2 should happen without Heard. Remove mera or recast
I can't say that an actor's private life impacts whether I pay to see their film. Amber Heard and Johnny Depp are a toxic couple who were physically and emotionally abusive to each other. If WB decides to keep them in their jobs, that's fine with me. I can separate an actor from a role. The crime would have to be egregious for me to boycott, but by those standards, WB would certainly recast the actor anyway. But if I'm to cancel a movie or TV because an actor behaves badly, then I'd have to ditch quite a bit of entertainment.
I think Reeves Batman movie is going to be quite similar to Arkham Origins, and I couldn’t be more embracing for that. The more Reeves talks about his take the more I can’t wait to see this movie.
