if you were making a batman movie, what scenes would you most want in it?

[spiderfan970]

If you were to make your own batman movie, what are the most iconic, cool, interesting scenes you'd put it in. you can draw inspiration from anything, anywhere. For example I love those scenes where he always comes to some mob boss' pent house at night and wakes him up to get information. They always show his shadow creeping up the bed and things like that. Anyone else have ideas?

I'm obsessed with this current idea, i've put it forward in lots of threads, and it's going into my fanfilm.

At the end of a Two-Face film, he has Batman trapped, and flips the coin to decide his fate. After looking at the coin and laughing he lets Batman go, but the camera shows the coin landed scarred side up, meaning that there is still some hope for Harvey.

It's inspired by Arkham Asylum.

Just something that's been in my head for a while now.

" What! Are you dense, retarted?! Who the hell you think I am?! I'm goddamn Batman!"

( Only good thing from All-Star Batman and Robin)

 

[The Guard]

The vow
Alfred questioning Bruce's actions
Compassion from Batman
Batman fighting corrupt cops

Basically, just read BATMAN: GENESIS

 

[COMPO]

yeah i liked your script. But, how come you had you know who leave.

Batman getting drive-thru

j/k

Ok, here goes:

Gordon, Dent, and Bats on rooftop - hopefully in TDK

Bats crashing mob meeting ala MOTP

mmmmkaaay - when I started this post I felt like I had a load of ideas, but now I just keep seeing things that have either already happened or a likely to in TDK.

Oh well

It seemed realistic, given the context of the choice, and it gave Bruce something to overcome, made him a bit more of the loner. He was going to come back in the sequel.

Batman should always make a dramatic entrance by crashing through windows, no matter where the scene takes place you can always include a little window crashing.

Batman crashing through a skylight or window, hands down!!^

 

[RobC]

Batman smashing through something is *always* good.

I posted this in another thread but this is the appropriate one for it. If I were to write a Batman origin script this is how I'd adapt things

I'd feature Bruce going to North Korea to train in martial arts with Master Kirigi. Then go to Japan to understand the functions of an organized criminal mind & the way of the samurai from Yakuza member and samurai Tsunemoto. After that he'll head to China to understand assassins by training with both Lady Shiva and David Cain (I really dig that character hence the screen name). Then out to Paris to learn detection and hunting from Henri Ducard.

He'll come back to the U.S. head to the Alaskan mountains and learn to be a tracker from Willy Doggett. Then train with former heavy weight champ Ted Grant in the ways of the boxing style. Learn how to be a theatrical illusionist and escape artist from John Zatara as well as romance his daughter Zatanna. Join the FBI academy. Study criminology and psychology at college and also learn a different method of detection from Ducard's by training with PI Harvey Harris.

Gordon will also be a Chi-town cop who comes to Gotham and has to deal with a high level of corruption leading all the way up to the commissioner himself Y1 style. I'd have Essen in there as the only person he could trust on the force. I'd also include Harvey Bullock but I'd leave him more ambigious a corrupt cop who shows traces of wanting to redeem himself.

I'd expose more of Alfred's British intelligence background as well as his engineering skills (he'd help Bruce develop the batcomputer and the batmobile).

I'd include Leslie Thompkins both in scenes with a younger Bruce and in scenes with the Batman. She'd be the one connection to his past he'd have aside from Alfred and a loyal ally.

Harvey Dent will be the Batman's only ally outside of Alfred & Dr. Thompkins until Gordon learns to trust him more.

I'd steal a page from BF and have Edward Nygma as a Wayne Enterprises employee gone mad. He'd assist the mob with his genius before becoming the Riddler. I'd also very briefly explore Kirk Langstrom, Jervis Techt and Victor Fries as background characters who work for a lab that belongs to the mob. Leaving their tragedies open for sequels.

I'd have a rift slowly develop between Carmine Falcone, Sal Maroni and Rupert Thorne all 3 will be the main baddies and have the police force and the mayor in their back pocket. I would definitely borrow the Batman crashes the dinner party scene from Y1 that'd be perfect to see on screen.

 

[RobC]

That all sounds pretty cool, it's almost a BB prequel with further explanations of his training. That's what I probably enjoyed most about BB and disliked most about B89, the actual training.

I agree with the bit about having Fries/Techt/Langstrom in there, I was working on a similar idea with Langstrom being a WayneTech employee.

My script had Tsunemoto, David Cain and Henri Ducard. It ate up a lot of screentime. But if you want Batman to be a product of his "education", I think it's worth it.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I always thought it would have been 100x more amazing if, in the surgery scene in B'89, the camera turned towards the wall and we see the Joker's shadow picking up one of the doctor's sharp instruments and stabbing him with it while laughing manically.

Agreed, if you want to really show his training, and still have a story in Gotham you need 3 hours min.

I was planning on at least 250 pages for my first film.

 

[The Guard]

Mine was 140 when I trimmed it. But then, the story was much smaller, and mobster oriented, not a sweeping "save the city" kind of tale.

 

[El Payaso]

God, the bat going through the window and the vow before Bruce's grave.

I simply cannot get why nobody has ever done those.

And at this point we'll need a third franchise to get them!

Exactly, my script is more like Part 1 of a 9 hour film. Kind of like LOTR...
