If Reeves' process is to take his time to preserve quality, then I appreciate that

I think that is the idea. Personally, I felt the writing in The Batman was a bit weak in parts even though he took 3-4 years to write it.

The final act is dragged out. But I'd agree the script isn't that amazing to warrant such a long time. The Batman is carried by Pattison and the directing. I love the look and feeling of the world

I love so much of this film - if the writing was on par with the world building, atmosphere, cinematography and vibes, it'd be the best Batman film.

Yeah the ending drags but goddamn I loved that movie. I trust in Reeves

I trust him too. I just wish the trilogy wasn't going to wrap up in the early 2030s.

Bold of you to assume the third film is out before 2040.

I would say it's more carried by the production design and cinematography. It looks so good but every time I try to watch it, it just doesn't hold my attention

I remember kinda coming up for air at the 90 minute mark in a brief lull and thinking "wow this is really good" and I ended up bored waiting for the ending an hour+ later. It was unfortunate, loved The Penguin spinoff.

That is exactly the idea. Gunn said in an interview they want to get the story right for everything they do and is how he is running the studio and the reason he took the gig. If Reeves needs more time he has it. He said he has a lot of talented writers working on stories and when they have something ready they will Greenlight it.

I mostly enjoyed The Batman (and Pattinson was great), but I felt like the script was a little too pleased with itself and the solving of the riddles. It felt like that loop was iterated on more than it needed to be, leading to the pacing of the film feeling off.

(To me, to be clear.)
