For those who have seen TDKR,

Spoiler

it's implied that JGL's character takes up the mantle of Batman. How would you feel if he was Batman in a JL movie

?

 

[protocida]

Spoiler

I'd be fine with it, though I'm sure people would complain.

 

[Rockstar]

Spoiler

John Blake won't become Batman. Batman is exclusive to Bruce. The ending implied Blake would have to become his own superhero. Possibly Robin.

 

[protocida]

Spoiler

Batman is not exclusive to Bruce. Several other people have been Batman. Including the character in which Blake is based, Robin.

Besides, the new Bat-signal leaves nothing to the imagination.

 

[Rockstar]

Within the context of Nolan's world, Batman is exclusive to Bruce. It's very much a reflection of his own psyche and personal struggles. He faces that in TDKR.

Spoiler

Nolan wouldn't have put in that 'Robin' easter egg in if he expected Blake to just be Batman

You are wrong.

Spoiler

John Blake for all intents and purposes, is an amalgamation of all the Robins. Tim Drake's detective skills, Dick Grayson's personality and I personally thought the hot headedness was a nod to Jason Todd.

Bruce specifically states that anyone can be Batman. Hell, Bruce was even giving him tips. And as protocida mentioned, the new Bat-signal backs this up. The final shot with Blake inheriting the Batcave and the Batsuit armory rising further reinforces this. And like Tim Drake, he wants to honor and take up the mantle of his childhood hero, The Batman.

In Nolan's world, there is no other hero than Batman.

It's pretty clear.

Wouldnt happen and if it did i dont think anyone would take the movie seriously. I certainly wouldnt. Bruce Wayne is batman. Not

robin john blake

 

[Rockstar]

Okay after seeing TDKR twice, I see your point Lone.


But to be fair, it's left completely vague.

Spoiler

Unfortunately the plot elements from TDKR and the evolution of the Bruce character make it incredibly counterproductive for him to return as Batman, as I suspected. Bruce Wayne as Batman is over. He got his happy ending.

 

[shauner111]

Yeah i think it's vague. But i have a question for you Rockstar, i saw it last night and im wondering something. (It's a little off-topic but whatever). After seeing it a second time..what do you make of the "different" vocals for Bane in the prologue. Because it caught me off guard BIG TIME, and i enjoyed the original prologue vocals from back in December. It was more in line with how Bane sounds for the rest of the movie. So seeing it a second time, you getting used to it?

 

[HighFivingMF]

Spoiler

If my name were Robin, I wouldn't be going out and fighting crime under the name Robin. That, the bat-signal, and the batcave point to Batman for me.

I actually never saw the first prologue.

I didn't mind the voice actually. It seemed so obviously ADR at times though.

I really enjoyed this version of Bane, moreso than the comics.

 

[shauner111]

Oh ok. I would of enjoyed the prologue voice more if i hadn't seen the original. You should check it out.

The rest of the movie was in my opinion in line with that original voice from December. The new ADR for the first 5 minutes or so was waaay too different. Too clear, the delivery in each spoken word was stretched out a lot more. But i gotta see it again soon. Hopefully it grows on me.

Love his damn voice though. And this version stomps all over the comics in my opinion. If anyones doubting Banes size. Just watch that first scene with his shirt off in TDKR.

pretty sure nolan has said time and time again, that in his dark knight universe batman is the only hero, meaning there are no superpowered beings assisting him.

that being said it's ridiculous to not have bruce wayne as batman in a justice league movie. he's a founding member according to the modern jl origins. that's like saying we shouldn't have clark as superman, "steel should be the superman of the justice league movie." people say they're ok with someone else under the cowl, but i highly doubt that. nolan would probably say its not a good idea.

superman/clark kent: henry cavill
batman/bruce wayne: josh brolin
wonder woman/diana: taylor cole
the flash/barry allen: ryan gosling
green lantern/hal jordan:joshua jackson or bradley cooper
aquaman/arthur curry/orin:charlie hunnam
martiain manhunter: the voice of lance reddick

We agree on Gosling, Reddick and Cavill. Hunnam would be a good Aquaman, but i think he looks like Green Arrow more. Thats why i lean towards Joel Edgerton. But its still good. I gotta look into what Joshua Jackson has been up to lately for me to decide on that one.

 

[Project862006]

^edgerton is my hawkman!!


for Aquaman Armie Hammer seem like fine choices he is 26 years old and a good young up and comer

 

[psylockolussus]

Armie Hammer would be a great choice for Aquaman

Plus he look would sexy in his costume.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

Am I the only one who doesn't really see Armie Hammer as a superhero?

 

[Project862006]

i dont see him as batman or superman lol

but he is perfect for aquaman imo

 

[combocaz]

I rather he be in That Green Hornet movie, He looks goofy.

 

[Majik1387]

You are not alone at all.

I rather he be in That Green Hornet movie, He looks goofy.

Even I would rather keep Seth Rogen in the role than have Hammer.

 

[J'adore]

Spoiler

I think if they use Robin John Blake (JGL) as Batman that would make it easier for them to appeal to the mass market, as non-comic book fans are definitely more appealed to the Nolanverse Batman than any other Batman movie....

 

[Majik1387]

Never gonna happen.

 

[protocida]

Never say "Never", is what they say.

 

[Majik1387]

Yet they say it twice.
