Step 1: Decide from the outset that it needs to be a near-R rated film.
Step 2: Model Riddler off the Zodiac Killer. No camp, but riddles to the media nobody can solve but Batman.
Step 3: If you must use the penguin, make it be a nickname used behind his back or something based on his height as opposed to DeVito's very literal version. And ditch the umbrella gadgets. You can give him one umbrella gun or something, but that's.
Step 4: Under no circumstance should Firefly wear a costume or actually fly. Just make him a pyro for hire type crime bosses use to cover crimes.
Step 5: Follow Nolan's lead with Cat Woman.

Anyway, give me a detective-centric movie about Batman trying to locate the Zodiac Riddler, and I'm watching that all damn day.

That's a pretty good take. My concern about so many villains is that it could be an Arkham City type situation. That game got a lot of critical praise, but to me the story felt very shoehorned. Lots of, "hey look, it's Two-Face!" "Uh oh, the Penguin is here!" "Hey, remember Ras al-Ghul from the movies?" Kind of a who's-who of villains, in a forced way.

If it gets at all hammy or pretentious, I'm out. Don't make it like Suicide Squad, where everyone gets a poster and an in-your-face clip, but at the end of the day you're wishing it had about 4 less characters and less sloppy dialogue.

If you made the firefly more about how he kills (dropping multiple tiny flashing drone bombs or something like that) instead of how he looks, that could be really cool

Nah, man. Follow Rocksteady's lead with Catwoman.

I saw that one in Rudder Theater for I think the 4th time in the fall of 1989 (previous 3 times had been elsewhere). At the beginning when Batman holds the criminal and the thug asks "Who are you?" When Batman responds "I'm Batman" I promise on my Aggie Code of Honor a bat flew across the screen at that precise moment as Rudder was semi-infested with bats at the time. The crowd whooped with unbridled glee and it was pretty cool to see.

Has anyone seen Batman '89 recently? How does it hold up with 30 years of comic book movies improving the formula?

I think it holds up pretty well, all things considered. But I suppose its biggest problem is actually Jack Nicholson, if you compare his Joker to Heath Ledger's. Still the only original Batman movie that is worth a damn - all of the sequels soured me so much on Batman that I very nearly missed Batman Begins.

I didn't see Batman 1989 until about 2015. Wasn't very impressed. Keaton doesn't really do much as Wayne aside from the get crazy scene. Also lol at his turtleneck.

Sweet theme though.

Edit: also shooting the Batwing out of the sky with a really long pistol

I still love Batman 89. Both Burton movies are my two favorite live action Batmans. The animated series is still the best, including the animated movie.

I can't believe it took me until just now to realize that Serkis would likely be in this movie in some capacity (due to him leading both of Reeves' Apes movies). They don't yet know who Serkis would potentially play, but IMO, he'd make a hell of a great Penguin...

That's awesome... I didn't think about that at all. I feel like he could play just about anyone and do an amazing job.

I could def see him as the Riddler, but I agree with you... I think Penguin might be the play. Let him do whatever.

I keep thinking of the Riddler as being either the goofy Jim Carrey version or '60s TV show version, but yeah, in a Seven/Zodiac-like tone, Serkis could be an awesome Riddler as well.

Yeah, I could totally go for that If they up the creepy factor a bit. I don't see Reeves doing campy.

He would definitely make a creepy and more physically imposing Penguin

This is nothing but pure rumor at this point, but Vanessa Kirby as Catwoman definitely gets my vote...

If Amanda Waller read this take, she'd put you in a hole and throw away the hole.

I couldn't understand half the stuff he was saying. Seems like he'd make a kind of "crazy" Batman

Agreed.


She's hot as hell.

How Netflix cast such a beauty as skanky Princess Margaret in The Queen I dunno but am glad they did.

Robert really impressed me in his role opposite Charlie Hunnam in The Lost City of Z. He could be quite good in this or any other film.


I think it's really important to seperate Patton from those dreadful Twilight films and Kristin Stewart. He was young and seized the opportunity to be in a Hollywood production.

What's the point of retracting it if you then say the very thing you retracted?
