did an interview recently talking about the characters what's going on with his

movie explaining some of this story we even got our first look at what the new

version of Arkham Asylum is going to look like during the movie in Warner

Brothers just changed the release dates of a bunch of their DC movies so we'll

break it all down if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all

the videos we're doing an Amazon gift card giveaway all you have to do to

enter is be a subscriber and let me know what you want them to do with the Batman

sequels on the video so starting with the big stuff first number five all the

release date changes the Batman movie was only able to film about half of the

movie before the virus shut everyone down all over the world we're all living

the Quarantine life right now originally the movie was coming out June next year

in 2021 now the delay has gotten so big they've been away from the set for so

long that they've had delay the movie to October first weirdly enough though even

though everything's been delayed now not every DC movie has been delayed the same

thing just happened to Marvel though where you have a bunch of shifting movie

dates everything kind of moves down the line a little bit so DC had a version of

that just happened to for them the new order for all the DC movies that are

coming up goes like this it's Wonder Woman 1984 coming out in August this

year The Suicide Squad movie is still coming out August next year in 2021

James Gunn said that there haven't been any big delays there in post-production

right now they finished filming the movie a while ago Batman like I said is

coming out October 1st next year they wanted to delay it to October because

they feel like they can make more money in October and that's also the same week

where they released Joaquin Phoenix's Joker movie which did gangbusters so

they're also kind of referencing that hoping that it will also find the same

success that the Joker movie did and if it wasn't clear there's not supposed to

be any kind of connection between Joaquin Phoenix's Joker movie and Robert

Pattinson --zz Batman movie like the Batman at the end of the Joker movie

isn't supposed to be Robert Pattinson 'he's batman both the directors todd

phillips and Matt Reeves said that their movies aren't intended to crossover in

any way so if they do more with Joaquin Phoenix's Joker movies those will be its

own separate thing often that DC black label of movies in the

Batman movies with Robert Pattinson are setting up their own new continuity

those aren't intended to be prequels to Ben Affleck's Batman or connected to

Wonder Woman Aquaman 2 or any of the other Justice League movies some of the

DC movies will be connected going forward some of them will not so I'll

just explain on a movie by movie basis depending on what I'm doing videos for

so for all the other upcoming DC movies they finally gave an update on the flash

movie that's coming out July 2022 now it's only delayed a month but if you

wondered if they were making it they are still making it we already know that

it's going to be a slightly different version of flashpoint Ben Affleck's

Batman Wonder Woman Aquaman aren't supposed to cross over as far as I know

maybe a cameo from cyborg or one of the other Justice League characters but it

would be waist smaller than comic book flashpoint there's a very good animated

flashpoint movie if you want to see more comic book accurate flashpoint I don't

do this to me I don't know about the what okay the Black Adam movie is still

coming out December 2021 that has not been delayed yet The Rock keeps talking

about it on all his Instagram posts they said that they're going to start filming

later this year that might be delayed just a little bit but it sounds like

they'll still be able to hit their release date Shazam - with the Shazam

Lee did just get delayed from April 2022 to November 2022 so it's coming out

about a year after the Black Adam movie the weird thing about the Shazam movies

is that the kids are growing up so fast that the more they delay it the older

the kids look so it becomes kind of awkward by the time they get to the

third movie I think they delayed the movie so much

just because there are so many different actors schedules that they had to juggle

for that and you also have to consider them trying to get the rock in for a

cameo by the end of the movie and he's probably one of the busiest people in

Hollywood so it's a bit of a nightmare to schedule a movie that big I'll

explain more about what's going on with Shazam - the next time I do a Black Adam

video because we actually just did find out what's going on with the story of

the Black Adam movie they haven't bumped Aquaman to yet that's still coming out

Christmas week December 2022 but they might wind up bumping it because that's

only a month after Shazam - three talking more about the Batman movies you

may have seen Matt Reeves did a huge interview just a little while ago

explaining the origin of his Batman movies how they're different and style

and tone from all the other Batman that have come before how his characters

are different I'll just read his quote here so he references his Planet of the

Apes movie during this interview when he's talking about the Batman movie he

says the way I love Apes is the way I loved Batman actually the only two

franchises that might have been something that I would have been

connected with amazingly are the ones that I was approached by meaning that

Warner Brothers approached him about doing the Batman movie not the other way

around he talks about having a really deep connection to the story that they

wrote for this new Batman movie and then talks about his love for the other

Batman movies he's a big fan of Tim Burton's Michael Keaton Batman movies

and everyone's a fan of Christopher Nolan's Batman movies but he's also a

big fan of Batman the Animated Series big shout out for Kevin Conroy one of

the best Batman of all time just happens to be animated he then goes on to say

that when he was pitching his version of the Batman movie to Warner Brothers he

said that he wanted to do something different a humanist Batman movie the

same thing that he did for his Apes movies he went on to say that Warner

Brothers was pretty much on board with his pitch and his take on the character

they didn't make him change any really big things about the movie the reason

why they went with Robert Pattinson instead of doing the movie with Ben

Affleck is because when Matt Reeves came onto the project they did a complete

rewrite of Geoff Johns and Ben Affleck's original Batman scripts it became a

totally different movie but that was because they didn't go to Matt Reeves to

ask him to do the Batman movie until after Ben Affleck had completely left

the character and the movie the main reason he said he went with a younger

version of Batman is because he said this Batman is still figuring things out

he's only been Batman for a couple of years he's supposed to be struggling

with the weight of his mission and the overall decay in Gotham just beating

down on him literally and metaphorically so too when he says he's trying to make

a humanist Batman movie that just means giving the villains as much character

development arcs as the Batman character a really good example of this is the

Edward Nash tin version of the Riddler that they're doing there was a scene

that they were filming earlier that leaked a while ago before they had to

shut down the movie where the police had found one of the Riddler's latest

victims it was a man tied up and blindfolded in a chair with a sign hung

over him with the Riddler's trademark question mark in a message written in

blood saying no more lies the lies that the Riddler was referring to were the

hypocrisy of the state of the Gotham City Police

Department in the court system Peter Sarsgaard is playing the current

district attorney in Gotham during the movie his name is Gill Colson he's not a

comic book character but you'll understand why in a second he said that

his character is supposed to be super rotten and will lie falsify evidence in

order to convict criminals so we just paints the Riddler and some of the other

Batman villains in the movie like the penguin and all the other potential

rumored villains in a more sympathetic light the movies largely inspired by the

long Halloween enduring the story of that comic book Batman goes around

trying to find the identity of this killer who's going around killing all

these mobsters before they find out what's really going on all the usual

suspects get rounded up by Batman he goes to the Riddler he goes to the Joker

he goes to the penguin to find out as a did it turns out they did not do it in

the real killer is someone else so it sounds like there's a little bit of that

going on inside Gotham City during the movie where you have the district

attorney who's kind of rotten trying to throw criminals in prison for crimes

they didn't commit so it sounds like the Riddler is trying to get rid of this

rotten district attorney during the movie and it gives him a more realistic

character arc than what you saw from say Jim Carrey's Riddler even though I'm a

huge Jim Carrey fan but by the time they got to the schumacher Batman movies

stylistically they got so Baroque and over stylized that it became way more

high fantasy in way less grounded it is fun to go back every once in a while and

watch him go fool Jim Carrey as the Riddler though just in terms of tone and

style and look it sounds like based on what Matt Reeves is saying and what

we've seen from the Gotham City sets that they filmed on that the new Batman

movie looks somewhere between Christopher Nolan's very real world

Gotham in some of the Gothic architecture of Tim Burton's Batman

movies before the Schumacher movies turned that up to 11 the number one

because the district attorney Gil Coulson in this first movie seems like a

pretty big character it sounds like they're not planning on doing Harvey

Dent or a two-face origin story until the second Batman movie like I said

we've talked about how this Batman movie is inspired largely by the long

Halloween comic book story the long Halloween is where Harvey Dent becomes

two-face infamously getting the acid thrown in his face then resurfacing

months later in the story as to face but he's already the district

attorney when that story picks up there's no other big character that

introduces him so the only reason they would do this in the movie with this

different guilt Colson district attorney is to number one give the villains like

the Riddler more of an origin story and to give the sequel somewhere to go so

you do two phases a big character in the Batman 2 or whatever they're going to

call that movie and if rumors are to be believed they would introduce their new

version of the Joker during the third movie of this new trilogy and it would

not be Joaquin Phoenix's Joker but that wouldn't happen for at least five or six

years so I wouldn't worry about that too much right now but obviously they will

probably do a new version of the Joker at some point during this new trilogy we

still haven't seen an official look at the cat woman's new costume although we

have seen her on set riding motorcycles with Batman and we still have not seen

an official look at Colin Farrell's penguin yet although there's been a lot

of really good fan art but everyone posts all your predictions for this new

Batman movie in the comments below and if you didn't see there is a brand new

Justice League dark HBO series that they're going to be making live-action

if that wasn't clear people were confused if it was live-action or

animated it will be a live-action I just did a teaser video for that you can

click here to watch that and click here for my brand new venom 2 spider-man

video thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe I'll see you guys tonight!
