FILMS THAT COULD INSPIRE FUTURE SEQUELS

[Lautox]

Films or genres that could inspire sequels?

 

[Boom]

Shutter Island for any sort of loose ASHOSE adaptation.

 

[The Lazarus Pit]

Session 9/House on Haunted Hill/Shutter Island for Arkham Asylum.



Silence of the Lambs/Twin Peaks/The Cell for The Joker



Eyes Wide Shut for a Black Glove/Court of Owls storyline



The Fly for a Man-Bat storyline



Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Basic Instinct for Poison Ivy



Freddy Krueger for Scarecrow



Some Indiana Jones vibes, not necessarily Belloq for a Ra’s Al Ghul movie



The Thing for Clayface



The Talented Mister Ripley and American Psycho for Hush



Michael Myers influence on Mister Freeze.

 

[Captain Tired]

Eyes Wide Shut for a Black Glove/Court of Owls storyline

That'd be a helluva scene. A tracking shot of Batman walking through a series of rooms, all of them full of people in Owl masks just doing it.

 

[Art Vandelay]

Eyes Wide Shut or The Ninth Gate for the Court of Owls (Lazarus beat me to it)

The Cell for a Joker or Scarecrow movie

 

[Art Vandelay]

I think I had a better idea. A Clockwork Orange, but in reverse for the Joker. Joker is subjected to a new type of therapy, only for it to have the opposite effect. He's let out back unto the streets of Gotham, now an even bigger psychopath.

 

[3rdstone]

I'd be down with any of the suggestions mentioned here.

 

[Luke995]

Blade Runner 2049 for a sequel, in a muddy post-flood city with increasing madness and disperation, with Batman meeting enemies like Clayface, Scarecrow and Solomon Grundy to solve a case.

 

[Airwings]

Many really good suggestions here.

I think Fincher's Seven can be used as influence too.

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

For Court of Owls, Black Swan.

For a Mr Freeze story, No Country for Old Men, The Revenant.

For a Joker/Arkham story, Suspiria, The Shining.

 

[Lautox]

Escape from New York or Death Wish for a Mr.Freeze vengeance story

 

[Art Vandelay]

I think Fincher's Seven can be used as influence too.

I think it was used as an influence for this movie.

 

[Drizzle]

This one might be a little too obvious and on the nose but I definitely want to see some No Country for Old Men Anton Chigurh vibes in Reeves' Two-Face. Not necessarily in characterization because I don't want Two-Face to be that calm all the time but moreso in the tension that builds in the coin toss.

 

[Sawyer]

I want some Lynch in there, by God.

 

[Airwings]

I want some Lynch in there, by God.

Oh, yes. That would be so good. But what among his work? Blue Velvet?
I see a possibility to also have some influence from Fritz Lang and Orson Welles.

 

[Sawyer]

Oh, yes. That would be so good. But what among his work? Blue Velvet?

Pattinson’s vibe was very close IMO to what MacLachlan was doing in Blue Velvet. Get one of the rogues gallery to be as unhinged as Dennis Hopper and we’re off…

 

[Eddie Dean]

I don’t know if Bruce Wayne is a detective or a pervert

 

[Sawyer]

Considering the film’s sympathetic portrayal of Selina, I wonder what films Reeves might draw inspiration from if he used a female rogue who genuinely meant to do harm.

 

[Luke995]

Considering the film’s sympathetic portrayal of Selina, I wonder what films Reeves might draw inspiration from if he used a female rogue who genuinely meant to do harm.

Uhm... I'd say...

Basic Instinct.
Gone Girl.
Vertigo.
Sin City - A dame to kill for.
Double indemnity.

 

[Captain Tired]

And Batman Returns.

 

[Airwings]

Uhm... I'd say...

Basic Instinct.
Gone Girl.
Vertigo.
Sin City - A dame to kill for.
Double indemnity.

I started to think of Kill Bill too

 

[RokMeAmadeus]

I think I had a better idea. A Clockwork Orange, but in reverse for the Joker. Joker is subjected to a new type of therapy, only for it to have the opposite effect. He's let out back unto the streets of Gotham, now an even bigger psychopath.

That's basically what's sort of implied at the end of that movie lol

 

[elgato]

Imagine a Silence of the Lambs-esque story arc with Hush loose in Gotham and Batman having to seek help from the Riddler in Arkham in order to solve the mistery. Also a full horror film with scenes in Arkham Asylum inspired by Bram Stoker's Dracula would be **chef's kiss**. I also want a Lady from Shanghai-esque inspired story arc for Bruce and Selina.

 

[shauner111]

Uhm... I'd say...

Basic Instinct.
Gone Girl.
Vertigo.
Sin City - A dame to kill for.
Double indemnity.

Perfect for Poison Ivy.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Personally I would not want Sin City - A dame to kill for to inspire a sequel
