crazy

Scarlett also seems to still be rumored for a bigger role in this than Stan. Maybe she's Bruce's partner akin to how Selina was.

Kinda like Chinatown also where Gittes is hired by a wife/works with her to investigate what happened to her husband. That's a very common noir angle.

Clayface ( unlikely due to movie )
Court of owls
Dr Arkham
Mask of phantasm
Hush

Summoning circle

What’s the play here?

No way he think he can outdo one of the greatest action movies OAT…

waited 5 years for another Long Halloween adaptation and/or a worse Dark Knight remake... spearheaded by Scar Jo and Barry Koeghan no less

bro what is this engagement

this reeves franchise really has the juice

@mattreeves please shut my b**** ass up with a left field Mr Freeze or Dr Arkham casting announcement gif

Wow the Joker AND Harvey Dent

How adventurous

Love how people are already acting like they know the plot before a single plot detail has been revealed

Hush would be phenomenal but they ain’t doing it

There are new villains

It’s fitting that Sebastian goes from Bucky the politician to Harvey Dent

All this villain talk makes me wonder why we never get any original villains for these comic book movies

It would be a great way to keep up the element of surprise

Like it’s hard to do a Hush story or a Phantasm story or even a Harvey Dent story when half the audiences knows what the end result is gonna be

Comic book movie fans want snd demand things play out like the comic book. Cartoon fans be a little more chill . Original villains when there are well written villains throughout the long history is a little silly . Some fans should just allow changes to be made

I need the recasting of people in one cbm universe to another to chill . Great casting but I need new faces

I think it takes a lot to make an original villain that fans accept, or even drastically change famous villains. Comic book fans push back against Batman writers who try to launch new villains was well. It only works in some instances where you happen to have an all time great like Scott Snyder inventing Court of Owls in his first ever Bruce story.

In the end they're adapted content from comics. Certain characters like Dent are foundational Year 2-3 characters regardless of the comic that's being pulled from. People tend to cling to TLH because of its popularity or it being all they know, but a similar Dent story was already Year 2/3 canon before that comic was ever written.

Also never really understand the argument of the last sentence here sometimes though. People say this while also never having read or watched a Hush or Phantasm story outside of the original. They're rarely adapted characters. Phantasm only debuted in comics this decade

bold, but i'd be so out. unless you mean original villains as in reimagining, for example (gilda dent hush, vicki vale hush) like was speculated.

I also don't think the point of these movies are for the villain to be a reveal. They are just vehicles for Batman/Bruce to learn more about himself and Gotham. The films don't hinge on the bad guy getting arrested nor does Batman really win in the end

Like the point of The Batman wasn't to chase Riddler's identity or anything. We knew it was Nashton but that served little purpose to Bruce until Gotham and the Waynes came up. They didn't even catch him, he gave himself up.

Right but if you do a story about Hush or Phantasm, those stories are gonna function as a mystery, it’s inherent to the nature of the character. It’s not like a Bane or Scarecrow or Zsasz where the identity of the character is not crucial to the story

Right, but that’s because The Riddler as a character at his core is not based around the mystery of the character’s identity. The core conflict that Riddler presents to Batman is an intellectual challenge. We don’t care about his identity.

Same with Joker, Bane, Scarecrow, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze, etc.

With Hush, Phantasm, and Harvey, who the character is (or becomes in the case of Harvey) is inherently linked to telling a story involving the character

He prolly does cus of all the idiots on twitter who said The Batman >>>>> Dark Knight

The Hush storyline in Arkham would make for a cool gritty detective movie tho

Mutilating people for their body parts until he can make himself look like Bruce Wayne to frame him for something (I forget what he was framing him for)

Yes that would be a great detective movie! It just sucks that comic fans would know exactly what’s happening before it’s revealed in the movie

Damn that’s true
