The Batman

I saw this at my neighborhood two-screen indie, which often as pre-show entertainment offers programming that ties into the main event. Here it was a clip job of every time Frank Gorshin's Riddler appeared in the Adam West-era Batman.
 

Well that clarifies a lot about the Joker in this timeline/universe. They were right to leave it out but I really like the interaction for the most part. It again plays into Batman being more of a detective and also Batman/Joker having more of a relationship than they usually do in the movies.
 
I liked it, but like others, thought it a bit too long. I thought everything after the Riddler's capture wasn't necessary. Too over the top, maybe? But that goes along with most Batman movies. All in all, I enjoyed it.
 
In that I like Batman as a character at all, I prefer him to be a fascist psycho (which the Nolan movies, for whatever their faults, leaned into) and not this current interpretation, where the film has the Good Politics what with the newly-elected Gotham mayor being an AOC stand-in and the Riddler's followers being January 6th MAGA chuds. Just completely heavy-handed liberal wankery.
 
Sad it's delayed but smart on the studios part. 2025 is already going to be loaded with sequels (Megan 2.0, Zootopia 2), superhero movies, Jurassic City, and Avatar 3 + Wicked Part Two.

At some point a studio has to simply separate all these big titles otherwise you run into the MI: Dead Reckoning situation where it just gets completely glossed over.
 
With all the delays on the first film and now this one, I can’t help but feel like it will be eight years for two movies and you risk cast members dying at the worst and looking drastically older at the least just to get to a third movie. I was hoping for four to five movies from the same cast and crew but it has just had the worst luck.
 
Serious guess would be aside from Mad Hatter,

Black Mask, Calender Man, Mr Zsasz because you've got crime boss, someone similar to Riddler, and a serial killer so they all fit the universe they're building.
 
Clayface could be done as a deformed makeup FX artist turned mercenary, like if Lon Chaney was a hit man.

Killer Croc could have a rare skin condition.

My boy AZRAEL could be the lethal mirror image of Bats.

I think there is zero chance Clayface is sued considering the DCU is in production on a standalone Clayface movie and the two franchises will not overlap.
