one example is that in TLH theres the famous scene were they all get on the rooftop circle up and agree to take down crime
now in a comic book thats cool... but in a movie it would look amazingly cheesy... yeah sure they should all want to take down crime but come we dont need some cheesy get together on a rooftop were th ey put there hands in and say " lets do this together and we can fight crime" it would look ****ing corny as ****
You didn't read TLH, did you?
They didn't agree to take down crime in general. They agreed to take down Carmine Falconi, a specific crime boss that neither of them could take down alone.
And in the story TLH ripped off (Batman Annual #14), Dent and Bats joined forces because while Batman could stop criminals, he couldn't get them convicted because he wasn't a lawyer. But Harvey could.
Oh, and about this "Batman doesn't need Jim Gordon" remark, read Dark Knight Returns and Year One. It's pretty clear Batman's job would be much harder without Gordon allowing him free reign to operate.
Not that it really matters, because a roof top scene with these three couldn't be any more or less corny or cheesy then the entire Batman concept, which is about a man who dresses up as a giant bat and fights crime, with his arch nemesis being an evil clown.
Dude, this is still going to be a comic book movie. This isn't going to be a ****ing arthouse film. This isn't going to be a film designed to be oscar bait. This is going to be a summer blockbuster with a superhero as it's leading character. I think we have a right to want to see stuff from the comic book in a film based on the comic book.
Dent, Gordon, and Bats agreeing to work together to stop a massive gang war is NOT nipples on the bat suit. It's not Bat credit cards or Bat ice skates. Its the RIGHT kind of cheese in a comic book movie, while those other examples are the ones that should be avoided.
If you don't see the difference, than you and I clearly can't see eye to eye on this subject.
