Ideas for a Batman Movie

Cafe Society
1

I was thinking if I had the chance to make a Batman Movie.

I would have Johnny Depp play The Riddler. Mainly because you would still know it’s him if he played The Joker, even if you didn’t already know it was Johnny Depp. It’s what Heath Ledger did, you wouldn’t know it was him if you didn’t already know from trailers and press releases. And let’s be honest, Johnny Depp knows the best way to make his characters. Example: Jack Sparrow

Mark Hamilton as The Joker(he voiced The Joker in the animated series from the 90s, but open for debate, I would like to see how well he would do). Heath Ledger painted The Joker in a new light and it is now hard to say what he would do, whether a street thug like Heath Ledger, or a mob boss like Jack Nicholson. He should look more like the Heath Ledger Joker, but still act more like his animated character, which can be considered a cross between Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger. But he should be closer to the Heath Ledger Joker while still maintaining some of the Jack Nicholson Joker.

Will Smith as Harvey Dent, at the end of the movie, the mob would torture him for throwing so many members into jail. They would want to also do some psychological damage, so they only beat the left side of his face and cut it up as well. Having it burned off would not last long, because a person would die from having lost so much skin. And acid in the face still sounds too much like something from a comic book. This can then lead into Two-Face for the next movie. For further psyche damage, he would come home to his wife, she would be so shocked that she falls backwards onto a sharp object, or she hits her head on a hard surface. I want to continue Tim Burton’s original idea for having a black Two-Face. I’m torn on whether he should do like in the Dark Knight and kill all those who took so much from him, or have him become the leader of a gang, on his way to becoming a mob boss.

I haven’t put much thought into who would be Batman, so my only idea is to have Jason Momoa play him. If you don’t know who that is, he played Ronan Dex in Stargate Atlantis, the Barbarian King in Game of Thrones, and Conan the Barbarian. And this is after Batman has established his role as Gotham’s protector, so this is years in the future. I would like to make the sequel set five years later and bring in someone as Robin. No idea who to play this role either.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin, but he is if Bruce Wayne turned towards corruption, so he would utilize Two-Face’s gang for whatever reason in the sequel. There is material that can become bulletproof when struck by an object at high speeds. His umbrella can be made of this and the umbrella doubles as a gun. None of that shooting fire or flying away on one. The gun/shield is more likely to exist in actuality.

Remember, Joker, Riddler, and Harvey Dent in the first one, Penguin, Two-Face, and Robin in the sequel.

Why?

Should be in Cafe Society is why, I suspect.

I’d still like to see The Clock King, with an OCD Accountant who gets ahold of a device that allows him to speed up time for himself, and maybe devices that he can ‘time bomb’ parts of the city with to freeze them in time and render them as basically dead zones that can’t be moved through- and as a threat against others. Batman stuck in time in a very public place would be a decent terror weapon, and require Batman’s support team to resolve.

Wrong forum.

Oh right :smack:

Remember, this movie is to be as realistic as possible. The ideas given for The Clock King don’t fit that premise.

Yeah, this is clearly a Cafe Society thread, no matter how strongly people feel about it. It doesn’t belong in Great Debates.

So I used my ninja admin skills to move it.

Sorry for posting this in the wrong one earlier, I joined a few hours ago and this is my second post.

Is it possible to make the Robin character plausible in a realistic Batman movie?

11

Why not Robin, the sidekick/partner is an integral part of the superhero concept.

12

I like Batman as much as the next guy, but I think we’ll need a break after they finish off the current trilogy. And by break, I mean don’t do another one for like 15-20 years.

13

So your plan is to villain overload the first movie and the sequel? That never works.

14

Nitpick: Mark Hamill.

15

Easily.

The 12-year old Dick Grayson, who got the job just because he was adopted by Bruce - that doesn’t work, of course.

But take Tim Drake. An older boy (16 when he first showed up, IIRC), showing himself as having serious skills as a detective in even meeting Bruce in the first place - he figured out that the original Robin was Dick Grayson due to recognizing some of his moves, and put 2 and 2 together and got Batman, then convinced Dick to introduce him to Bruce since Bruce needed the lightening influence of a Robin. Throw in some training in martial arts so he can handle himself even before being further trained by the Bat (and, of course, have him directly figure out Bruce’s identity, since there would be no previous Robin) and you’ve got a kid who’s as reasonable as a vigilante as Bruce himself and a reason to want to work with Batman specifically.

And from Bruce’s POV, why would he take him on? Well, he could actually understand what Tim saw, and realize he needed someone to level him. He could also want to keep the kid from getting himself killed by trying to do the vigilante thing on his own. Or to have him as an asset, not a potential hindrance. Or any combination of the above. (Frankly, how Bruce generally has acted for the last 30 years, all 3 would likely be considered.)

Cleary you have not been watching the movies. :dubious:

The exact wording may be incorrect, but this time around is definitely a much more realistic take on the concept. Even though there is tech that doesn’t exist in the real world, there is none that couldn’t exist. Restricting time in some places but not in others does not seem to be within the concept. There is currently no conceivable way to achieve a device that would cause this. The only things remotely similar are black holes or high speed travel. Not some sort of bomb.

18

Cast Adam West and Burt Ward. The Batman movies made in the last 20 years have all been foul, worthless, shite, the kind utterly without redeeming social value not seen since “Firefly”. There is no way you can take seriously some millionaire dressing up in a costume to fight criminals who also have similar wardrobe choices. Camp it up and have fun.

Holy suspended disbelief.

19

This. The Dark Knight version of Batman is played out and boring.

20

A giant microwave machine that could vaporize the water supply of the entire city without immediately killing all of the inhabitants? :dubious:
