It's weirder than a reboot, really. They didn't reboot Batman, they just borrowed an unbooted version in another film.
DC has no clue what they're doing.

Well having seen all the animated movies and the show etc since bvs came out, BvS is more consistent with one of the draconian elseworlds stories like injustice.
..What mirror universe?

Well Nolan did reboot the Batman universe after the massive failure of Batman and Robin.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 7:50 pmThey got away with Spider man and co branded the current iteration.

The closest would be Nolan Batman trilogy but even then that not only was a self contained universe for Batman but there is a history of Batman being soft rebooted already.
I guess technically Batman is rebooted after Nolan’s films, but nobody was expecting any more of that universe. Rebooting it also very much did not work.
They rebooted Batman with Batfleck but he never really got his own movie. He was kinda like how the current Spider-Man is but without the three solo movies.
The Batman I would say is a true reboot, a second reboot following Nolan and starting with Tim Burton and the Neon Light Batman.
Honestly should give Batman a rest at this point. Hell. We are on our fourth Joker? One of them may not even a Batman.
I got nothing to say here.

TBH, after the heights of BTAS, there's very little room to go anywhere but down.
Re: The Marvels and the death of the M-She-U
Well the Nolan movies come after the BTAS but I get your point. For basically a children's series, it was very well written with its legacy being felt today.

Re: The Marvels and the death of the M-She-U
It's the same thing there as well though; nobody was really expecting a follow up to the series. Rebooting has specifically to do with taking an expected sequel's development and stead just making a new franchise. It's more consistent with how you regard the Reeves Batman film. It's not a reboot so much as a consolidated project.McAvoy wrote: ↑Sat Nov 25, 2023 4:13 amWell Nolan did reboot the Batman universe after the massive failure of Batman and Robin.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2023 7:50 pmThey got away with Spider man and co branded the current iteration.

There are hardly any epic episodes of TAS. MotP is hardly an exhaustive take on Batman lore. Batman isn’t just about fairytaling.

Re: The Marvels and the death of the M-She-U
Here's an interesting one. Reportedly one of the cut scenes during the mountain of reshoots was a kiss between Captain Marvel and Valkerie. https://comicbookmovie.com/captain-marv ... #gs.1fax5y
In my opinion the reason why they did this? South Park. ''Put a chick in it, make it lame and make it gay.'' Disney already suspected that this film was going to be lame and were terrified of the memes that would come out of this film if the prophecy were to come true.
Even if that's not true this is a fine example of what i've been saying about Disney for years. They are not LGBT allies. They will cut a gay scene without a second thought if they think that it'll harm the bottom line. They will wipe it from a foreign release in a second if it makes just one more buck.
