for real though i hope this finally redeems Pattinson in the eyes of joe film-goer. he's a 5 star actor who took a role for big money when he was green. no one hated twilight more than him and The Batman could be his ticket to finally get that movie in his rear view mirror.

The movie was an unforgettable experience for me regardless and that minute or 2 of chaos was by the most entertaining time I spent in the theatre that day. I got so much enjoyment out of throwing my hot dog at that mean man's face!! How dare he disparage the great Tay-tay. That man can tell me to eat the crap from his corn and bah GAWD I'd give a new definition to the word SLOBBERKNOCKER by the time I was done, mmmmmmhmmmm

I get agitated too easily over things like that and I'd rather not snap in public and cause a scene. Mad embarrassing.

Sounds like you had a helluva time!

Is it Pattinson, or Batman though?

I have the same feeling about Pattinson that I did about Bale. And Bale turned out to be fantastic.



I think this movie will be great. I imagine there will be changes to the Riddler character as we know it. I'm a bit concerned about the long run time, but honestly if you love Batman and you want a great movie, you take the chance and sit through it. I think the long run time actually points towards this being really really good.

It’s already been reported he’s a minor character. He won’t be s as one scene wonder though. The trailers alone have him alone in his suite, he’s at whatever funeral Bruce, Selina and Carmine are at, plus the two scenes we know he’s in with Batman where Batman beats up his goons and the car chase.

He’s also getting an HBO max series. So we’ll get more of him.

And I’m ok with them saving him as a side/reoccurring character.

Reeves stated in an interview that he thinks there’s a very grounded and interesting way to bring Mr. Freeze to film, while Pattinson wants Court of Owls and Calendar Man. Court of Owls certainty fits into the detective/secrets of Gotham uncovered vibes. Though Idk how they handle the zombie assassin thing.

Guess I'll add my Two Cents...

Depp as The Riddler
I would like to see Depp as The Riddler based solely on the fact that he is a damn fine actor and I like to watch damn fine actors at work. Perhaps he could be somebody drafted in by the police to help them find Batman, during the investigation "Ed Nigma" (I wouldn't use that name) discovers that Batman is in fact Bruce Wayne but rather than telling the police he keeps this information to himself and he becomes The Riddler and begins to torment Wayne/Batman (insert personal reason as to why he would do that into the plot).


The Joker Returns
With the rise of The Riddler in effect and his targeting of Wayne/Batman starting to effect the city at large the police turn to someone they believe can understand The Riddler's mind. Through Harley Quinn (Britany Murphy is a good fit for the role and could also provide the 'love interest' for Bruce) we have a 'Silence of the Lambs' setup between her and The Joker, played by....



Johnny Depp (hear me out).

I'd have him filmed from behind/shoot from his perspective so that you would never see his face (Depp would do his best to nail Ledger's take on the voice). I think there'd be an excellent duality in having both characters played by the same guy - as long as it was someone like Depp.

**An alternative is to use the 'Silence of the Lambs' scenario to twist "Ed Nigma" from police helper to the character he would become. "Ed Nigma" would use The Joker to try and 'get inside the mind of Batman' as Joker seems to understand what drives and motivates Batman. During these meetings Joker can subtley turn "Ed" into The Riddler.**


Penguin
An idea for Penguin would be to have him reform the Mob before becoming Mayor of Gotham. The people of Gotham are willing to vote anybody into power that they feel can stop the vigilante known as Batman. This comes as a knee jerk reaction tothe events of The Dark Knight (i.e. Batman "killing" Dent).

This however is a little too close to Batman Returns for my liking so an alternative would be to mix the two scenarios above and have The Riddler become Mayor - seeking Batman as the powerful Mayor "Nigma" as well as tormenting Bruce Wayne as The Riddler. Just for kicks of course.


Other Villains
I'm not too keen on Catwoman, Bane or a returning Ras BUT I can see how they could be done. Clayface should be steered completely away from - unless he's just a guy suffering from a disfigurative facial disease (akin to the Elephant Man) that somehow has some power in the Mob or something. I dunno, not really interested tbh.


This is where I lose you all...

Robin
At first I thought the idea of "The Boy Wonder" appearing in the Nolan created Batman Universe was a big no-no but now I've come to like the idea. However, there would need to be some major changes...

- I would at no point use the name Robin (unless it just so happened to be the characters middle name that could be referenced as a little injoke towards the end of the film).

- I'd also drop the circus background that we've seen before. Far too campy.

- He wouldn't be Batman's sidekick and wouldn't get a costume.

Batman would use "Robin" as a go between so that he could still communicate with Commissioner Gordon without risking Gordan's position. I'd have the character be some kinda streetwise teenager who at some point sees Batman save someone from a mugger (or something similar) thus learning that Batman is not the bad guy he's being made out to be.

Now comes the single reason I'd have "Robin" in the film: his method of getting around the city...parkour (freerunning). I think a chase secene with him running across rooftops, flipping, rolling, diving from ledge to ledge, etc would be kinda cool. Even have the chase be against Batman.



Anyways, there's my take on a few things. Feel free to rip it apart. Or better yet try to tie together the loose strands that I've left.
