After re-watching the trailer, you may be onto something. What if there is a surprise connection to last year's Joker movie, and Joaquin somehow gets thrown into all of this.
-Those appeared to be Joker henchmen receiving the Bat beat down in this trailer (observe their makeup).
-Batman says "I am vengeance". What is he avenging so furiously? Considering what happened to his parents at the end of Joker, at the hands of clown-faced henchmen, could there be a connection to his anger? Am I reading far too much into this?
Though if any of these connections are included in The Batman, I highly doubt they'd be shown in a trailer so obviously.

I was just going from the angle of how the tones of both stories seem to match up but those connections could mean something too.

What does it say about me that I was reminded of the Neon Gang / Golums from Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.

With these new Batmovies always aiming to out dark one another in mood/tone, gore, so on, sometimes I find myself missing the old school DC... cheesiness and all.
(Minus the bat nipples in Forever and B&R. That was something that nobody asked for).
RUMOR MILL: Joaquin Phoenix Lined Up To Return As The Clown Prince Of Crime In Two JOKER Sequels
The fact that this comes from a British tabloid means you should take it with a pinch of salt, but rumor has it that Joaquin Phoenix has been offered a big money deal to return for TWO Joker sequels!

Looks pretentious on a level heretofore inconceivable. Also just looks bad. Bad greenscreen. Bad CGI. Bad character design. Bad color timing. Also a sequel to a terrible film.
WW84.....horrible.

...I’m not expecting much there. Seemed a “stretch” from the start

i agree. we were watching it last night, & what a letdown. it was just a mess. i think if it opened in theaters as originally planned, it would’ve flopped. i did like the post credits scene.
I may watch it again today just to see if maybe I missed anything that would make it a better movie.

I watched Soul and News of the World instead.
Both great movies.
Sad to see DC’s curse continue. Hopefully The Batman is actually good.

I think DC needs to do something that the comic bookers wont like: get Zack Snyder the hell out of there...
The reason Nolan...and later MCU...has worked is because there is movie studio savvy/polish behind it. The idea/graphic guys alone give you nothing without being able to convert it to some mainstream appeal.
You end up with attack of the clones

There’s about a 90% chance it will suck

Hardly. Matt Reeves writing and directing an R rated Batman film with Pattinson leading should yield fairly good, if not great, results.

i was thinking about the DC curse as we were watching WW lol. i’m curious if the snyder cut JL will be any better. i have some faith in the next batman movie. i’ve seen some of reeve’s movies & he seems to know what he’s doing.
i agree with your take on soul. watched it last night & it’s pretty good.

I’m from Missouri.
And your measure for success is different than mine. I’m not looking to be challenged mentally - though I would take it IF it happens. I’m looking for something that holds through the test of time for enjoyment.
Trying to tell the audience what they’ve been “missing” in a Hollywood setting is a Hard-o move destined for failure
