I prefer Affleck to Keaton in the role.Affleck looks like stepped out of the comics as the character.I could never take Keaton seriously as Batman due his small size and his Bruce Wayne actually seemed uncomfortable around women.Keaton is a great actor but sometimes that’s not enough,you have to be physically right for the part.There are scenes in the 89 Batman film where they definetly have him standing on a box or something in his scenes with Kim Basinger.
I think childhood nostalgia blinds a lot of people to the fact that he wasn’t really a good Batman and just because he was the first “ dark ‘ on screen Batman.
There are plenty of people out there who simply just think he was great in the part.
It's a bit odd that Bruce totally disappears at the ending, but otherwise it's excellent.
All I’ll say is that I give it a high recommend, and that I now want a pet rat.
Anyone else catch that post-credits scene?
Too Bad Jar Jar Abrams ( aka The destroyer of franchises ) is coming to ruin everything.
I agree with the first, strongly disagree with the second. I like what Abrams has done with SW and ST and M:I. I don't get why people have such big issues with him. Destroyer of franchises? Clearly, he is anything but that.
Yeah, I quite liked his Trek movies and his Mission: Impossible entry. A lot of the criticism thrown at him seems to stem solely from Star Wars and is very overblown. The Force Awakens is still one of the most-fun nights I've had in a cinema.
It is definitely my favourite film within the DCEU so far. I’ve never really connected with any of the others. I’m still super excited for The Batman (I know it’s not part of the DCEU), as that’s more my taste and (so far) like The Suicide Squad feels like it’s brought the comic book to life.
My only grievance is I felt:

Ok it’s rated R. Ok audiences have some issue with it (B+ Cinemascore it’s not great). Ok it’s available on Max (and torrent sites) day and date. But this huge bomb says a lot about nowadays people’s lack of confidence in the cinema experience.
It was always gonna have hurdles even before COVID. I’m just glad it actually got made. That’s a win for me.
Gunn’s take has the same Cinemascore that Ayer’s infamous Studio Squad had. That’s funny.
Well the first film made nearly 750 million ( without China) and won an Oscar so clearly not EVERYONE hated it.
An Oscar for makeup, which it probably only garnered for Killer Croc alone. I'm extremely critical of the Snyder-directed films for their lack of good pacing, blatant misunderstanding of pretty much every character and tone that makes one wonder if he's trying to send everyone to a suicide hotline, but at least they have good moments. The first Suicide Squad has none.
That all said, looking at the original trailer that Ayer claims was more reflective of his cut of the film, it still doesn't look good. I really don't like that serious tone/aesthetic of Snyder's run.
“I put my life into Suicide Squad. I made something amazing. My cut is [an] intricate and emotional journey with some ‘bad people’ who are sh*t on and discarded (a theme that resonates in my soul). The studio cut is not my movie. And my cut is not the 10-week director’s cut. It’s a fully mature edit by Lee Smith standing on the incredible work by John Gilroy. It’s all Steven Price’s brilliant score with not a single radio song in the whole thing. It has traditional character arcs, amazing performances, a solid third act resolution. A handful of people have seen it. If someone says they have seen it, they haven’t.”
Alas, Warner Brothers seems resistant to the idea.
