How I would like the Batman reboot to be handled

Ps: two 't's in 'shitty' - apart from that your English is fine. Nice article BatsFan. :)

Yeah World's Finest would be way more interesting than JL, but they have to reboot Batman first cause Nolan done with Bats and they won't continue in his universe.

I've never understood why people who want the Batman series to be rebooted want the first film to start a few years after Batman starts being Batman and the biggest villains are mob bosses and perhaps a hitman or two? This isn't bashing anyone in particular, but simply pointing out that this is the idea for many reboots I've seen.

It just doesn't add up.

1) We all know the reboot is going to be compared to Nolan's films so comparatively Nolan's Batman was able to fight that crime war from the beginning, subduing a lot of the big bosses. That means everyone's reimagined Batman would already be far less impressive based on how long it takes him to do something simply accomplished previously.

2) I think Nolan was on to something (although it did follow a typical movie plot) where Batman needed a higher purpose to become Batman. Sure, he was a crime fighter and all, but stopping the likes of Scarecrow and Ras al Ghul was more along the lines of superhero. Point is, if you want to start Batman out as a legend, this superhero we all know and love, even if it's toward the beginning of his career, then you'd have to skip over the introductions of some already big players. The unfortunate thing about that is that if one were to ever bring those characters into the story post-first reboot you would have an inconsistency with character since the audience wouldn't know who the villain is, but Batman would have had full knowledge of them. And I don't think that should be the case for any villain, especially in a new Gotham (maybe in a replica of Nolan's or any past film).

3) Any and all introductions would become inconsistent. He would already have the Batmobile, unless you'd rather him not drive for the first few years? He'd already have his weapons, although there's the chance he might experiment on newer things- the basics (and probably the more classic a.k.a. the ones we care about) would already be covered. While we might not need some in-depth scientific explanation to it all, I think the introduction of this sort of thing serves best for establishing a new surrounding/universe.

4) There might even be a sacrifice in character development. Bruce/Batman is already a good dynamic, but if we all insist this more investigative Batman come into play then that would change the makeup of what general audiences know to be as Batman's onscreen presence. Just like Nolan used the League of Shadows to introduce the concept of Batman to the audience, whoever explores that new (and rather essential) side of Batman will have to introduce the concept of detective.

Basically, anything that doesn't trail off of past films or starts its own imagining is subject to a smaller dimension of Batman, one that could sell well for Batman lovers, but not for movie lovers.

As for the suit @FriendlyJoShFest has the idea. Like the New 52, but not exactly. I say black and dark grey, but I wouldn't go with all the armor-ish appearance. Not to say Batman shouldn't have armor, but I feel each character should have their personality blended into their overall appearance. The way Superman's suit is Kryptonian, Batman's should be one that he designs himself. I never liked that Fox said it was a government prototype somehow implying that there weren't plans and patents documented for it (which, if you know government anything, that's definitely not true), taking away the fact that Batman is one of a kind. Give him some badass, armored, high tech gauntlets, and armored boots. High tech belt. But most importantly, the suit should be something Bruce creates on his own. Not a Tony Stark kind of thing, but one where he experiments with compounds and finds a thin substance that resembles a kind of spandex-like look, but stops knives and small firearms. You could even enhance the plastic look (as I'm sure that's how everyone imagines the spandex look) by adding "plates" that outline the different sections from the New 52 suit and possibly refer to something more scientific where those plates are essential for refracting force. The idea here is that Bruce has to invent the very Batman-esque features. He shouldn't be able to go to Fox and be shown a gauntlets that for some reason conveniently projects razor sharp blades. He should take an armored material and develop it into his own gauntlet. Similar to how Fox showed Bruce the cloth that would be used for the cape. It wasn't already a cape. Bruce made it so.

The reason I'm so adamant about a thin suit is because each of these superheroes has a certain fighting style. Just for comparison, Superman doesn't need to be agile, though fast, because he could barrel through an enemy and be a heavy hitter. Batman on the other hand is very much mortal, so his agility has to be pretty high up there. Not to mention his expertise in martial arts. So together, that means the new Batman (as all Batmen should have been) should be able to move quickly as if to seem superhuman. I hated the bulkish nature of every onscreen Batman because (while some fight scenes were really cool) I just couldn't help but think, "why's Batman so slow? why's he not be being strategic?" They used KFM for Nolan's films, which was cool but only to explain how Batman trained for those specific close quarters fights. I never got the impression that Batman was the top level martial artist every character bio lists him as.

These, and many more things, more pertaining to story than character, are the only way a new Batman is going to ascend Nolan's films. If not, it's not going to get enough distance away from past interpretations.

I like the idea, so far. Something I would like to see is a more familiar villian, like the Penguin, begin to muscle in on the gang territory.

Batman needs a damn rest before the character is burnt out.

CGI-scan Bale (which I'm sure they've done already) and do a CGI (final fantasy-style)tv series expanding Batman's world into the fantastical with villains like Killer Croc.

I'd tune into a weekly hour of Batman (which per series could have arcs of different villains). They could even stick a CGI Bale into an Arkham City or Batman year-one type of show.

But please, no more movies for a long time. The character needs a damn rest and nobody s going to top Nolan and Bale's Batman on the silver screen this decade.

Long running multi-million dollar Tv series then Batman Beyond or Arkham City at the movies afterwards.

[frick] no it shouldn't be grounded, yes it should definitely have the dark tone. But whats point rebooting something if your just going to be like the previous incarnation. the only thing that should be grounded is the aesthetics and the characters. Mr Freeze as the Villain, dudes one of the most tragic villains in Batmans rogue gallery and he got raped in batshit and robin. If Bane can be avenged then so can Mr Freezr, although Bane still ended up as the Henchmen in TDKR.

Hells Yeah @ Hellsing

You lost me by including the new 52.

This is awesome! I would like to see more about this!
