Re: The Batman - Solo Batfleck Film (Release: TBA)

It's starting to become clear that a documentary on DC's keystone cops operation would be better than any of the movies themselves.

also, a little props to Collider, but this is exactly why they were specifying earlier it was wrong to report "Matt Reeves is directing Batman", as opposed to just negotiating.

    Awesome. Dick Grayson is a top-10 comic character for me. There's several different ways they could take that film, I'd be interested to hear some more details about what period of his life they'll be delving into.

    I worked on this video, and made sure my favorite line made it in https://youtu.be/TUpxxN5bURc?t=4m43s

    I'm not saying I put it in for you, I'm just saying that it's for all of you in this thread

    I'm caring like that, you know.

    Bumping this b/c of the R - rated Batman talk in the Logan thread:

    Rated R Batman would have to be done extremely well or it would be panned as aping off Logan/Deadpool and derivative.

    I wonder what would logically justify it being R. I thought TKJ animated was pretty weak (just don't love the story in general as it humanizes Joker which I think is kind of a mistake). That being said Batman isn't Logan. He's not going to dismember people or stab them in the face. If you want to put in language - which I think is realistic for the stakes, then go for it.

    Well said. In the Ultimate Edition of BvS, the warehouse scene featured some broken bones and the one guy's blood run down the wall after he got smashed in the fact with that wooden crate, I imagine that's the extent of truly violent stuff we'd see in an R-Rated film.

    I wouldn't want an R-rated Batman film simply for the sake of it being R-rated. The Nolan trilogy was all PG-13 and I didn't think a "fuck" or a broken bone on a bad guy would have done anything at all to those films.

    Yep - and if they're going to pull back on Batman killing (which they should) I don't think it'd be justified from a violence perspective. You can make an argument, but that guy that got his head smashed by the crate was probably dead.

    I think the best argument for doing something R rated is a set in Arkham thriller that's just more mature/adult.

    It's not impossible to do an R rated Batman film.

    Looking at the comics, there are mountains of stories they could use that are dark and would absolutely be R rated on screen. As I said in the Logan thread If they did The Killing Joke, anything with Victor Zsasz, a Black Mask villain film, something with Deacon Blackfire, a movie centered around Strange as a villain, even something with Penguin it would be possible.

    They could even do A Lonely Place Of Dying, Hush, Knightquest, a Death in the Family, Son of the Demon, or even an Arkham centered film - any of those would absolutely be R rated.

    I would love to see Hugo Strange in a Batman movie. Loved him in the Arkham game. He could be so twisted and creepy if done right.

    They could easily craft a story involving Hugo Strange and Arkham. That would make a hell of a movie. You could even have Victor worked in somehow (perhaps as a patient at Arkham). Now that would be a movie and it would work with an R rating. Sprinkle in a little Joker and you could make bank.

    I know that a decent chunk of the G.A. wouldn't know this, but that's basically the storyline to the Arkham City video game.

    I've never played them so that's one part of Batman mythos I'm not familiar with.

    You should definitely change that. Great games. I actually really enjoyed Origins as well. Don't have a PS4 yet, so I still haven't played the newest.

    Second to City imo....to much Batmobile.

    City
    Knight
    Origins
    Asylum

    Origins is underrated. I would love WB Montreal to get another crack at it.

    I'd go:

    City
    Asylum
    Knight
    Origins

    Not that I didn't like Origins but there was nothing unique about it; and don't get me started on the Electrocutioner or the Deathstroke fights

    Asylum was such an awesome game. Might have to dust off the PS3 and replay that soon. Knight was great because it was such an expansive world and it "felt" most like a true Batman game.

    Apparently WB Montreal is developing an Arkham game right now but there's very little detail out there about it. I'd love to see a full-on Justice League game someday.

    I was a huge fan of the Deathstroke fight. Could get frustrating but I liked that wrinkle.

    Asylum was amazing - I agree but the plants taking over the asylum drove me nuts and the finale was so so. Same with the ivy plot in Knight actually. I don't like story beats that change the environment.

    Thought Origins had the best story which is why I placed it above Asylum.

    Asylum was just such a different game than I'd ever played before, and the fact that it took Batman and placed him in a relatively open world environment, and there was a cool combat system, and there was detective mode, and there were a ton of his best villains...I mean what more could you ask for? Then City came along and blew Asylum out of the water in almost every regard. But Asylum will always hold a special place in my heart due to it being the first and probably the most innovative.

    All great points...and I can see that.

    Origins is the best. Yes, really. It's the best story, best boss fights. The only reason people shit on it is because "it's the same as Rocksteady's games" - duh. It's supposed to be.

    it's
    Origins
    City
    Asylum
    Knight


    Knight has zero replay value - it's not even 'fun' because of the Batmobile.

    The Batmobile stuff was way over the top in Knight but I thought it had the best story. The way Joker was incorporated was amazing and that ending sequence was one of the best Batman-related things I've ever experienced.

    Interesting to hear about Arkham Knight. I did get a chance to play a little of it last summer and the only part I played involved the Batmobile, which I found a little annoying after a while. I was hoping it was that one section, but it's used a lot?

    Some missions and side quests are based solely around the Batmobile. It's cool initially but it does get very repetitive after a while.

    There's also a side mission that essentially repeats the entirety of a sequence played in the main story, but the bad guy is swapped out. It was probably the most frustrated/disappointed I've ever been playing a video game.

    Well that sucks. Still looking forward to playing it at some point, but that's a downer. I never thought of Origins being the best, but now that I think about it I have replayed that game more than any of the others. I also love how the Penguin is portrayed in the Arkham games.

    Batmobile made me stop playing Knight.
