DBWI : If only the new Batman movies weren't even worse than the Schumacher ones...

Honestly, I would love to see Batman done right. :(

The new re-boot series directed by Michael Bay is... simply put... utterly horrendous crap ! :mad:

I doubt we would change anything... But, what if ? :)

Anybody have any ideas on how to bring Batman (and Bruce Wayne) back to their gritty, noir roots ? Make Batman and his world more realistic... or something... I don't know.

What if we gave it a try ?
 
I still think it would have been better if they actually used villains like the joker and two-face, instead of relying on also-rans like mad hatter, firefly, and killer moth.
 
much better Director, like Christopher Nolan (occ: :D)

Erm... Nolan ? The British guy who directed the remake of Insomnia ?
Would be an interesting choice... :) if he is into comic books, that is...

Come to think of it, he would be perfect. Batman could be remade as a semi-realistic thriller of sorts, and not the usual cheesy superhero summer action flick... Wow ! Imagine the potential. Sure, it would recquire a lot of work, but could be f***ing genious, if done right... Something like Burton's Batman, but without the surreal / quasi-fantasy elements...

Not like those dreaded Bay films. Batman with the image of a celebrity or popstar ?! :confused: "Bat-" prefix for every f***in gadget ?! :( Batsuits with nipples the size of oranges ?! :mad: A homoerotic relationship between Robin and Alfred ?! :eek: Yuck !!! What is Bay smoking ?! Ever since he failed with that awful Transformers movie adaptation, he's been a stone rolling down hill...

Or, say, to add a fantasy twist, Guillermo del Toro. I sure loved his League of Extraordinary Gentlemen...

(OOC: If only...:mad:)

Yeah, I remember, even grumpy old Moore loved that one ! :)

Too bad, that Del Toro didn't direct that Hellboy movie... :( I mean... seriously... Tim Story ?! :mad: The dumbass who messed up the Fantastic Four into kiddie stuff ?

Shame on you, dumb Hollywood !
Give good directors a chance !
I heard rumours, that Uwe Boll is supposed to direct an adaptation of LOTR... God forbid !!! :mad:

The Joker? Wouldn't that go in the opposite direction of being more serious, as some people seem to be arguing in this thread? I mean, maybe the Joker was a darker villain initially, but most modern depictions show him as, er, a joke. I don't think audiences could take a truly villainous Joker seriously.

OOC: Why so serious?

IC: Oh, come on guys, the last batman movie wasn't so horrible, with Batgirl becoming a stripper in the end, it at least had some good moments...

Where do we begin... That's the point. Make him more realistic ! It's simple : A serial killer and mobster psycho with a "Glasgow smile"... and he would hide his hideous facial wounds under clown-like make-up... Awesome !!! :) I think the moviegoers would love a twist like that. It's all part of the plan... ;)

P.S. And hey, if you don't like my idea, then... Come on ! Hit me ! :D
 
Don't you know that Nolan did directed a Batman film which includes Chrisitan Bale, Heath ledger and Gary oldman as a submission entry to WB.

Several million dollars financed by the extremely wealthly Nolan himself, and is only shown to WB.

Heard WB has approved of his ideas, and is going to start a reboot of the francise under Nolan, called Batman Begins.
 
don't you guys remember, bay walked out on the project part way through, that's why the movie was so delayed. they got two new directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, who also did another project this year (disaster movie) i thought they did a pretty decent job.
 
I hate how in the latest Michael Bay film what seems like the entire US military is unable to defeat the villlan, yet Batman and Robin can, and do at the last minute.

General: "It's impossible, we can't defeat them. At this rate the entire Eastern Seaboard will be gone in a matter of days..."
Colonel: "Yeah, we should just send in the Raptors now. So long batman, we'll miss you..."
Random Private: "No, I believe in Batman, he can do it!"

:rolleyes:

Arrrhhh ! :mad: Bay ! Must... kill !!! :mad:

Bring in that Nolan fellow ! He might have luck and pull of that reboot before someone else beats him to it. :)

But... "Batman Begins" ? What kind of title is that ? Not gloriously cheesy enough... :rolleyes:
 
Guys, guess what the Batman Begins script is leaked under the name the intimdation game.

Hurry and see the script before the site is taken down!
 
You want a different Batman? Have Alfonso Cuarón direct them. Yes, it might get a bit steamy at times (such as his recent movie, where he actually had oral sex shown in some scenes :eek:), but he is, IMO, the perfect director for that type of franchise.

OOC: :D :D :D :D :D :D
