How they did it....
You know, the early episodes of the old TV series weren't the out and out camp feast that seasons 2 and 3 were (IMO). Not "dark" mind you, but it did have sort of a balance.
Looking forward to your thoughts on it.

I hope we get some characters we haven’t seen before!
The whole cast and crew are returning!
No more Joker please.
Man-Bat would be a great villain to use, but perhaps too outlandish for Reeves' Batman. While I was joking about all of the cast returning, I could actually see The Batman 2 starring an escaped Joker with Catwoman and Penguin playing supporting roles again and Batman having to visit Riddler in Arkham for advice. If it ain't broke...
It could work if integrated a bit more into the plot. I'm not mad about the horrifically scarred Joker but I do believe the cut scene was filmed very well (even if it's pointless/doesn't make much sense). I'm not a big reader of the Batman comics but among the handful I've read Hush would be the most likely for them to adapt (however loosely that is - there's a lot in there and some of it is a bit silly from what I remember) if they wanted to incorporate Joker, Catwoman etc.
A new actor or McGregor?
Yep.And to those who say Mad Hatter is too silly a villain to use,just look at how Reeves and Paul Dano interpreted The Riddler.
Also,while some may feel Man-Bat is too outlandish,he’s one of the fan favourite villains from the animated series and would suit the more horror movie vibe of this new Batman era.
I certainly don’t want any villains that have been used before.Heck,I think Penguin,Riddler,and Catwoman in The Batman could have been replaced by Hush,Black Mask,and Huntress.
I’m still disappointed we never got the Batfleck vs Deathstroke movie that was teased at the end of ZSJL,it would have been incredible.
Oh, a new actor.
Dr No Face? He sounds great, although I prefer Dr. No Trousers
With all this praise out of the way, I must say I was more entertained by Batman Returns , Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. And War For the Planet of the Apes is still Reeves best movie. Still, top notch.
“ The Batman” has many technical strengths, I love the score, but as a film it was an empty, , joyless, draining experience.
Words can't describe how awesome that is. Batman laughing like a nutter, as he electrocutes some random goon.
Also, I love Batman announcing who he is over the phone, when the Riddler can see him clearly through the glass. :))
I was also a bit surprised that was the final shot, but the more I sat with it the more I like it. It’s very understated and moody like much of the film, and though not nearly as brilliant an image, it operates in a similar emotional resonance as the end of The Third Man which is fitting considering the noir influence.
Gotham Knight Redhood and nightwing playthough...
really Game of the year stuff in my opinion
also rumor on facebook is The Batman 2 is titled The batman 2 and will be out Fall 2024.. meaning we might get not 1 but 2 batman films in between No time to Die and Bond 26 lol
I agree with you on all your points. I really wish they would show more villains, for the game, as Penguin is not too behind The Joker and Lex Luthor in being overused. P.S. I think we’ll see both of them in the game as well.
Chinatown, especially, is so artful with the slow burn, that no filmmaker should try and duplicate it. Create original beats to your own slow burn thriller. Don’t copy Chinatown’s (everything to do with dirty politics, missing dames, “Daddy issues” (and in The Batman it’s clear Falcone saw his daughter the same way Noah Cross actually used his daughter)….
Saying that, I had a more enjoyable experience watching the film in the comfort of my home.
