Storylines Reeves can use for The Batman franchise

[Tg11]

1- Heart of Ice (Mr Freeze as main villain)
2- Mysterious and Dangerous Hush (Hush as main villain)

3- Court of Owls
4- Arkham Asylum
5- Arkham City
6- The Rise of Barbara Gordon/Batgirl

 

[Sawyer]

Batman Special #1

Subvert expectations after the first. No huge rogues gallery, just Batman working his ass off to keep Gordon safe from someone with a vendetta who may well be his equal.

 

[Boom]

Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth

Batman: Gothic

Batman: The Clown at Midnight

 

[Invader Joker]

Some version of Bruce Wayne Murderer?

 

[TonyDiego]

I think Reeves doing the Court is a very high possibility. Maybe for 2 or 3.
The sequel is definitely doing the Dick Grayson story since Reeves is a huge Robin fan.
I wonder how Joker will fit since he seems to be a big fan of the character.
Othewise, I don't see him doing fantastical villains (Poison Ivy, Clayface and even Bane). So that I think limits the stories that we could theorise on.
Maybe he will do Hugo Strange.

 

[Tg11]

For me I definitely would go

- Arkham Asylum for the sequel since the 1st film storylines are already set (all of Batman's rogues in one place and Batman is in there with them having to defeat them all in order to escape)

- For The Batman 3 I would do The Rise of Barbara Gordon/Batgirl

I’d like to see The Batman as some sort of reimagined ‘The Long Halloween’ / ‘Earth One’ amalgamation.

For a sequel, carry forward with ‘Dark Victory’ mixed with elements from ‘War Crimes’.

In a trilogy-capper, adapt ‘Hush.’

All multi-villain films. And keep Catwoman as a side character/love interest throughout the trilogy.

Throughout the Reeves/Pattinson trilogy, include a Catwoman solo based on Brubaker/Cooke run; Batgirl solo based on ‘Batgirl: Year One,’ and a crossover featuring Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and the Gotham City Sirens.

Oh god and give me a GCPD mini on HBO MAX based on anything from Brubaker’s comic run.

 

[Tg11]

For the Reeves trilogy I can imagine the first film will most likely be a combination of Year One and the Long Halloween

Sequel for The Batman 2...I would instead use the Court of Owls here

Batman 3...the final in the Reeves trilogy I would use Jason Todd/Red Hood

I'd really like to see a loose adaptation of the Prey story from Legends of the Dark Knight, especially for a fairly early days Batman. Hugo Strange and the way he's characterized there would be a great villain, and the story element of Gordon being forced to lead a task force to take down Batman would be awesome. Third act could be a little Arkham Asylum rework with Strange kind of weaponizing the inmates.

 

[WatchProtect]

I know it won't happen but I would have loved to see Assualt On Arkham. I think Waller using the Suicide Squad with Batman stepping in between would be super cool. But otherwise I'd love to see Strange Apparitions and Prey

For faithful Batman fans we all want to see this

I think this can easily be a Suicide Squad sequel. Include an extended Batman cameo (ideally Pattinson, but I'll take what I can get w/ DCEU).

Yeah me too I want Pattinson in a Suicide Squad sequel but I will take what I can get with the DCEU at this point

We had two movies in the last solo franchise to take inspiration from those two books. Frank Miller's two Batman master works have had some influence on Batman on film since 1989. Granted, it's mostly The Dark Knight Returns but I think it's time to move away from Miller's work for a bit and use other sources.

Prey is aggressively stupid by the last couple issues but it's characterization of Hugo Strange is so gross and hilarious I'd love to see Reeves draw inspiration from it. There's a lot of material to be mined even if I don't think it's a particularly good comic.

I'm not a big fan of how the Court of Owls story plays out but Bruce up against a cult would be such a great, unique premise. Plus all that Eyes Wide Shut style imagery.

 

[WatchProtect]

I feel like The court should be a forth or fifth film. I don't know if by the time a third film roles around Bats will be able to truly say he knows everything about Gotham and everyone in it

I agree on both counts. Prey only has elements I really would want to used, and Court of Owls is a great concept with some cool visuals with no real resolutions. I wouldn't mind seeing Court of Owls merged with The Cult in an adaptation.

 

[cryptic name]

They should just adapt this for the sequel, and I’m only kind of joking

 

[DeadlyWest]

Arkham Asylum A Serious House on A Serious Earth would be fantastic for Batman 3

 

[Ravagex]

Honestly I will just settle with any story as long as Riddler wont get shot middle of his speech TDKR Bane style and pass the villainship torch to some Owl Court Grandmaster.

 

[TheVileOne]

I wouldn't want Court of Owls in a first film.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Arkham Asylum A Serious House on A Serious Earth would be fantastic for Batman 3

It really would. Just a straight up horror movie.

 

[shauner111]

And Reeves is the guy to make a horror for Batsy.

 

[J.Drangal]

I read Arkham Asylum over 10 years ago, but to be honest, I can barely remember what was happening in it. Seeing that story systematically cited as a something to adapt on film, especially those last years at each rumble about a new Batman solo film, makes me wonder if I should revisit it again...

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

A Serious House on Serious Earth would just be a great mindf**k, and then you’re also telling two horror stories entwined with each other.

Get Harry Melling as the Joker and Ralph Fiennes as Amadeus Arkham and I’d be a happy camper.
