...what is so bad about it really? It's already a more or less absurd premise to begin with, and I'm not the least bit surprised that this has a Blade/LxG/Preacher vibe to it.
I love Sandman, but after seeing what was done to Lucifer, I have no illusions about the sacrifices I'd have to endure to ever see it get out of development hell.
Imagine Batman getting a Netflix treatment.
Nobody is ever going to be happy at the end of the day.
Maybe not Netflix but I always felt Batman was better suited to a TV show than movies or other heroes who have gotten shows. He has many many interesting villains that just aren't big enough threats for a movie, and current super hero shows always have the hero having a team around them. That works for him, Robin Nightwing Batgirl/Oracle and of course Alfred. To some degree gordon
Yeah, a lot of superhero stories work far better as a tv show especially since you can have running storylines involving masterminds. Daredevil was perfect in that regard since s1 had a slow build where the Kingpin didn't even show up right away. It was definitely the best-constructed of the Marvel NFI shows.
And while Batman could logically be broken up into a tv show, the format has also always worked well for Superman because he has Lex Luthor.

MIB International trailer.
Not as bad as the Hellboy trailer from yesterday, buy I feel like this movie isn't going to add anything new to the franchise. I'm sure it's going to be fun, but nothing I can't get from the previous 3 movies.
It doesn't look bad, it's just a pointless reboot. The casting also seems awkward, more so for Hemsworth than Thompson.
I feel a TV show would also be able to show off Batman's detective work more than a movie. He doesn't always find out instantly who the bad guy is. It could be fun for those of us who are familiar with his rogues gallery. Trying to figure out who's behind it based on the clues and MO ---
Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!" Bartz-"with cheese biscuts AND mashed potatoes!"
