BATGIRL Star Leslie Grace Shares New Behind-The-Scenes Footage From The Shelved Movie

@ObserverIO - I don't mind them doing some standalone movies every now and then but as far as their interconnected universe is concerned they should think of some overall "saga".

@AmazingFILMporg - good I guess, most do want a fresh start building off the batman

@dracula - I don't think "most" want a fresh start building off The Batman. I think most people do want a fresh start. But The Batman was a VERY divisive film. Judging by social media comments there are a lot of people that liked it, but also a lot of people that didn't.

@CorndogBurglar - Why did some not like it? Too long?

@CorndogBurglar - A lot of that does sound nitpicky, but it also gives a general sense of how people are responding to the material. Whether their criticisms are fair or not they're basically communicating that they didn't like it.

Most of those things don't really matter when going forward with the franchise (except for those who don't like the casting of Pattinson), so maybe they'll be more responsive (in a positive way) if DC builds an entire universe out of it.
I remember Man of Steel was really divisive for a lot of things that were important to the character, but audiences were still willing to give BvS a chance, hoping that some of these things would be course-corrected.

There doesn't seem to be much that needs course correcting in terms of world-building and character in The Batman (again with the exception of those who didn't like Pattinson as Batman), so if a universe were to be built out of it maybe those who didn't like it would get on board for a sequel.

I think one of the biggest failings of DC in general is that they're all over the place, so if they did focus on one universe and Pattinson's Batman was included, I think those who didn't like him and those who were critical of The Batman as a film might overlook their concerns.

@Origame - or it shows they have a horrible ownership that they stuck with Ezra and has never condemned his behavior. Has nothing to do with Batgirl

@LilJimmy - I'm sure you hated em but honestly I liked both Suicide Squad films and Birds of Prey (yes, seriously and I can list why) and I thought Shazam, Wonder Woman and Aquaman were solid enough entries along with BvS (flaws all considered) to warrant continuing. I feel it's a shame that WB couldn't have more faith in themselves however and seem to shoot for the foot on certain things.

@Urubrodi - you’re a hilarious marvel stooge. Batman begins is the best superhero origin movie of all time, along with superman 1978. Basically everything there after kind of copied it. Iron Man takes so much from Batman begins. Including the time jump narrative device. The dark Knight is just a good movie? Lol it’s widely considered one of the best blockbusters of all time, if not movies of all time, hugely influential. From plotting, scripting, score, acting leaps and bounds better than anything in most of these marvel movies. You can make the case the dark Knight rises it’s disappointing given that it had to follow one of the greatest movies of all time, but it’s the best third movie in the trilogy of all time about one character. Captain America won his average at best, at best. At times ridiculously cheesy and cartoony. Captain America winter soldier is better but it to apes so much from the dark Knight it’s not even funny, and then Civil War, not even really a captain America movie. It’s basically avengers 2.5. The first avengers movie while entertaining, ridiculously overrated. Has the quality of a made for TV movie. Avengers two is an absolute dog shit. Avengers endgame is ridiculous cheese, chock-full of the most gaping plot holes, and really is just fan service fellatio to their previous movies. The Spider-Man movies are pretty good. The rest? Overrated dog shit
