[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

I actually preferred the first trailer.
...they cancelled Batwoman for THIS?!
I don't understand making some rando be Bruce's adopted kid, when he's already got so many to choose from. Why not Tim? Or Terry? Or make Carrie the main character? The only positive thing I can say about that trailer is "Misha Collins as Harvey Dent". Otherwise... ugh. Pass.
Poor game devs, having to deal with the confusion. The Gotham Knights game looks infinitely better just from a story perspective.

Especially since Turner is...CLEARLY supposed to be Dick Grayson, like god damn they could use ALL those other canon DC characters, but DC still embargoed Dick Grayson?
Holy shit that looks bad.
I was kinda hoping for another show like Gotham. But nope. This is just milking the Batman franchise for all it's got. Some WB exec must have watched a movie from Disney's Descendants series and was like "Hey. We could do that too."

For a long time the stance from DC was "we can't have the same character in both a movie and a TV series, because people will get confused" and now they're having a game and a TV series with the exact same name, but almost nothing in common, debuting in the same year...
I do not understand what the fuck DC is doing these days.
It feels like a random teen mystery show they slapped the DC label on.
Also known as "Riverdale syndrome".
They also have the same premise in common, of "Batman is dead, his kids need to take over." Which is what is truly bizarre about this. When I first heard about this show, I actually thought this was a tie-in series for the video game, with Dick, Barbara, Jason, and Tim. (Then I read the article and had a massive let down). And now people are going to think the game is a tie-in to the show!

Was the suggestion after that It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World ?
See How They Run
This looks amazing.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
I have very little patience for most shonen, but damn, did Bleach, both the manga and the anime, suck me in. Despite Tite Kubo sucking at endings, or staying on track, he had such a giant cast, and EVERYONE has unique backstories and personalities. I loved when he would ditch the shonen tropes and just devote chapters to the relationships between...anyone. I'm still holding out hope he's FINALLY going to tell the story of Gin and Matsumoto he was hinting at, but I doubt it'll ever happen.

And here I was exactly the opposite. Bleach came long when I was into just about everything Shonen, and I immediately fell out of love with it as soon as the Soul Society arc started. Which, yeah, I know, was the very first arc after the establishing intro arc where Ichigo and Rukia meet and he gets his powers and whatnot.
I was much more interested in where the story was going until then. I thought the idea of a teenager who accidentally stole a psychopomp's power and had to fill in as a ghostbuster while astral projecting was a much more interesting hook than yet another "strong villain, train, beat villain, stronger villain, lather, rinse, repeat" story.
Has elements of what the animated film was supposed to be, hope it'll be good!
The last great movie he made was Dogma (I'd even argue it's his only legit "great" movie). I'd even say Jersey Girl was "decent" enough. His "Conversations with Kevin Smith" have been worthwhile, if only for the infamous Superman story.
But yeah, I was tired of his schtick after Jay & Silent Bob (the first one).
Yeah, I'll say that Zack and Miri Make A Porno is great, as is Red State. Jay and Silent Bob the Remake is also entertaining, if only because it has some actual fucking development for the characters.
