Batman films based on the comics of the late 50's when he goes to outer space

[ron bond 007]

t:I think it would be neat if in the future WB does a Batman film or two based on the Batman comics of the late 50's like Manhunt in Outer Space and/or The Interplanetary Batman or even Baman in the Future from 1950 but update them into the 21st century and make them much less campy and no Batmite(Though he was funny in my fav Batman cartoon The New Adventures of Batman from 1977 which got me into Batman in the first place).

Have Batman have a Batship which can travel across the galaxy through hyperspace like the Millennium Falcon and Batman and Robin fight crime not only in Gotham city but in the far reaches of space. Maybe even do a Batman film set in the say 30th century where Batman and Robin are remote descendants of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson and fight descendant villians of the Joker etc. and even alien villians and team up with alien cops/allies say Inspector Tutian from the Universal Police Corps from the 1958 story Manhunt in Outer Space and fight crime not just in futuristic Gotham City but all over the galaxy on strange alien planets/moons or remote uncharted planetoids like Planetoid X from Manhunt in Outer Space.

I doubt WB will do this anytime soon but it would be a fun way to put the Batman film franchise in a new direction if not now then perhaps around 2020?

Grant Morrison, is that you?

Nah, Morrison wouldn't disqualify bat-mite like that.

 

[El Payaso]

Two words: Zebra. Batman.

 

[Fenrir]

I don't know about you but I bet an elseworlds space-age Batman tale would be amazing. Think Mass Effect meets Sherlock Holmes.

 

[RustyCage]

No thanks. Didn't like it in the comics, or in the cartoons, would hate to see a Batman film wasted on it.

Also:

 

[RustyCage]

Grant Morrison, is that you?

Nah, Morrison wouldn't disqualify bat-mite like that.

 

[Mister H.]

That would make being a Batman fan embarassing again.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Few things would undo all the good work put into making Batman a badass, in the eyes of the public again, than this...

 

[the amazing fro]

Ha! Somethings should just stay in the comics....

 

[I Am The Knight]

Why noy? Batman and Robin already did Sky Surfing in B&R after escaping from Mr. Freeze's giant ***** rocket. Outer Space is next.

 

[RustyCage]

Why not? Batman and Robin already did Sky Surfing in B&R after escaping from Mr. Freeze's giant ***** rocket. Outer Space is next.

Because 95% of fans cringe at the memory of your example.

 

[Secret Fawful]

I miss the days of the 40s and 50s when pulpy concepts like this weren't frowned upon or laughed down. I was born in the wrong era. It just wouldn't work now.

 

[ModestMr.Green]

Bats, IN, SPAAAAAACE.

 

[The Guard]

I wouldn't mind seeing a DC Direct movie version of one of those stories, or a collection of them. But not in a live action film.

 

[ModestMr.Green]

The only way I could see something like this working is if they made a DVD animated feature that resurrects Adam West's Batman series and set it in space.

 

[ronny]

They should just reintroduce his Aunt Hortense and be done with it.

 

[TheBatman072]

What does this have to do with TDKR spoilers?

 

[returntovoid]

There would've been only one way that the campy Batman in the comics would have not come to be and no 60's TV show. That would be Alfred Hitchcock directing a darkly psychological Batman film in the 1950's.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

That would make being a Batman fan embarassing again.

If it means less of people saying "now unlike Superman, Batman is realistic and relatable", I'm all for it.
