I'm Reading Your Stuff: General News and Discussion Thread

[Char]

I wouldn't mind a little conspiracy in Gotham. With Falcone dead, I also wouldn't mind more stuff within the power vacuum. Oh and more Cristin Milioti please.

Thank goodness, the mall cop, wannabe hack micro-author edgelord ******** is finally gone. If you look up any of the guy's writings, his nonsensical, disgusting opinions on here come as no surprise.

This is DK holding back!

A little annoyed you called him sweet and a prince, Sword. Far kinder than he deserved.

Makes me somehow glad that I missed most of the action.

There were hints of a broader conspiracy in Gotham too. Didn't Reeves at some point confirm Bruce would go even deeper down the rabbit hole? Saving the Court for the third act is a good idea, I wouldn't mind a more grounded villain rather than a fantastical one. If we get a trilogy having an over-arching villain would be great too.

He did, but a broader conspiracy doesn’t necessarily equal the Court.

The rabbit hole that Matt may be referring to could be multiple things. Though, I believe he means as Bruce Wayne. For example: diving into his mother’s history which could lead him to investigating Arkham as well as the Elliot’s.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

A sex pest is strangely appropriate here.

That would be cool too. so you rather believe we'll dive more into Bruce's family history? That could work too. I really want the movie to be creepy. Like in that scene when Batman and Gordon went to that abandoned orphanage. That whole atmosphere was amazing.

Well I definitely believe we should dive a bit deeper into Bruce’s family history, because it played a major part in the first film. With this being a trilogy, I look at this as Act 2.

One of my many theories I have is that Bruce is going to look into the history of the Arkhams, because that is in and of itself a murder mystery. All the while, Tommy Elliot is looking into Bruce since he would be under the impression that Thomas Wayne had his father killed.

I can also imagine a scene where Batman walks the halls of Arkham that feels like A Serious House On Serious Earth. Though I don’t want to go too far into this with fan goggles.

As for the climax, I see Harvey becoming Two-Face at some point and being responsible for causing Riddler, Joker and possibly other future villains break out.

Though, like I said, this is just one theory and only part of the story.

That dude acting a plum fool over Alan Ritchson of all people was always pretty incredible.

So you have never read The Long Halloween/Dark Victory, which are a major influence on Reeves' take and are officially year 2/year 3 Batman? Because Dark Victory is all about Year 3 Batman growing and taking Dick on as Robin.

I have read them many times and I love them.

I was saying that I don't see them being crime fighter partners already in this movie.
I totally see Dick as a 13y boy being adopted. A time gap may give the chance, in Part III, of having a 18 year old Robin, which is more realistic and believable.

I think the focus, in Part II, if the rumors are true, would be in Dick and not Robin and in Bruce's arc with the final point of deciding to adopt him. Which is similar to what happens in Dark Victory, btw.

I don't remember the Dinamic Duo being fully formed in it, so it was basically what i said in the original post.

Btw, I think the "Dick and not Robin" thing may be what Gunn is playing with in his debunk of the rumor.
Very similar with how he answered to the Ultraman rumor.

 

[TheGDBatman]

LMFAO THAT WAS HIM?! This just keeps getting better and better.

He also posted a shirtless picture at one point to try and flex on a member and it….did not accomplish that goal

This is kind of what I think as well...and I think it gives the best of both worlds really. Maybe at the end of the film we get a Robin tease but Part II is just Bruce and Dick.

If Court of Owls ends up in this trilogy, it should be hinted at here and then explored in any series that come out between Part II and III and then III is the full megillah.

I did not mean to trigger that dude...but yikes the things you are all saying about him

Came to the realization that Sneider doesn't have a source. If you remember Reeves' Twitter posts during The Batman's pre-production, Reeves has already told us that Dick is in Part II:


Also, Gunn did not debunk Robin being in Part II, he debunked Sneider having a source of knowing what is in the script. He played the same game when Randolph accurately leaked the plot of Superman last year.

Mmmmm I dunno he’s definitely a compulsive liar and bloviates a lot (Ben affleck architect of DCU LMAO) but he straight up said it was “nonsense”.

 

[donuts]

I think you're all looking way too much into someone trying to fight off the trend of grifters ruining and spoiling movies for all. It sucks. And he's right to shoot down non official news.

 

[marsh]

Burton almost used Robin in Returns and was part of the reason he was in Forever, and Snyder's Batman had a Robin at one point. So, this point is both moot and irrelevant.

There’s no way this is actually your real counter argument. No way. I almost refuse to believe it. Thats pretty bad man

True. This could be taken as a small hint towards Robin. Though everyone should also keep in mind that Matt could use any Robin and doesn’t necessarily have to follow the timeline in the comics. They also don’t have to be “Robin” in this iteration either.

For example: Bruce doesn’t have to adopt anyone.

This version of Dick Grayson may be older and already in Bludhaven becoming inspired by Batman to become Nightwing and fight crime his own way.

Jason Todd could be older with a reimagined Red Hood origin and become Batman’s partner in this story.

Or even Carrie Kelly being the only Robin in this version.

Sure, bold decisions like these would have fans losing their minds, but in the end, Matt has complete control over how he wants to build his universe.

Curious question for those who want to keep an open mind to this idea: If you could reimagine the timeline, other than Dick, who would you like to see as the first Robin of this particular universe?

Even though Vic already takes a few cues from him, and we probably wouldn't have enough movies to get used to him and adapt THAT storyline even though I know Reeves and Keoghan would kill it, Jason Todd.

I didn't really like the idea of Martha being psychotic, but if it leads into deep and dark family mystery I'll accept it. I like your thinking. You'd have it be Bruce's search be a reflection of Tommy Elliot's search.

I think if they would adapt a bit from the Morrison Arkham Asylum story, with that creepiness and psychedelic vibe it would be amazing.

Harvey becoming Two-Face would need to be like it happened in the animated Series. With two personalities etc. On film it could be very dark. I just wish they would venture into other avenues when it comes to villains. Maybe not the fantastical ones, but what about Black Mask? Technically also another go at Scarecrow. You could also make Poison Ivy work in this universe.

Yeah, Jason Todd would be awesome. You could always have previous cues echo with other characters. Tim Drake would be another good pick, if we skip Dick. Blüdhaven was already mentioned so I won't give up on Dick.

The thing about Martha, we can only go by Riddler’s video which may not be entirely accurate. Just like Falcone having Sofia committed for his own crimes. There may be more to why Martha was committed to Arkham, seeing how she is an Arkham. This could be part of this twisted rabbit hole that Bruce goes down into.

I totally agree with everything else as well. Maybe Black Mask is out there and decides to challenge Penguin for his throne. Scarecrow could be an absolutely horrifying stand alone inspired by Nightmare on Elm Street and the Insidious series with Batman taking him down in the end. Poison Ivy is easily adaptable. She doesn’t need to control plants. She could simply be a femme fatale botanist.

What I love about the Batman mythos is that it’s rich full of amazing characters to choose from. Matt could surprise us with a take on an unexpected character that could elevate him/her to an A-lister.

It’s a terrible argument lol

“No serious live action Batman has ever done a Robin”

“But but but ya see uhhh tim burton uhhh *almost* did one under pressure from the studio… I mean ya know he didn’t and he wasn’t in the movie and your point still stands but he almost did! OH! And ummm there was an Easter egg in BvS. I mean he never makes an appearance and the word “Robin” isn’t even said in the whole DCEU but there was this 1 Easter egg for 5 seconds so HA! Checkmate”

Like laughably awful man

 

[Lily Adler]

Batman adopts (kidnaps) minors and militarizes them to fight crime out of guilt ridden trauma of his parents's deaths. Totally normal.
