Doesn't JoJo have an entire chapter about a monkey trying to molest an underage girl, complete with shower scene?

You might be right, but the monkey was a naval officer so that’s to be expected. The child stowaway gets written out of the plot after a while though, and after that it’s twinks all the way.

I for one am relieved that we will finally have a raw, grim, gritty, Batman to show us the darker side of the character and serve as a welcome antidote to the current overabundance of lighthearted, carefree Batman stories.

The problem is that was already done perfectly in the sixties and everyone knows it.

I feel like the only kind of Batman story left to do in film are the later insane ones, the ones that take themselves seriously while still being dumb as hell. I want a Batman movie where he spends an inordinate amount of time being mad about rock music, or a fight against a guy who uploads fighting styles into his suit that's beaten by forcing him to fight like Stephen Hawking.

Or just an entire movie where Batman never leaves an all-powerful floating chair.

The only real untapped areas:

  • An actual honest-to-god detective/conspiracy story (smart money says this is it)
  • Batman fights an actual monster like Man-Bat or Clayface
  • Globetrotting Batman being Bond, but also Batman
  • Bring in the sidekicks/Bat-Family/Batman Inc.
  • Batman Beyond (harder than it sounds)
  • Bugfuck insanity like you said where Batman hates Rock Music or has to go to the underworld where dinosaurs roam
  • Absolute "break the conceit" poo poo like that Aronofsky pitch about Working Class Batman who wears tacticool gear and uses a tire iron
  • Any hybrid of the above

Adapting that comic now after Snyder strip mined it for his piece of poo poo movie would be tough, yea. Dunno if you've read it, but it really has very little in common with that movie. There's no Lex Luthor, no Doomsday, no Wonder Woman. Superman makes an appearance but he is not a main character at all.

Yes because it's also The Fountainhead mashed with The Death of Superman, and a teaser for 6 subsequent movies (only 3 of which got made). The book isn't a good candidate for adaptation either. It's very tongue-in-cheek and doesn't really amount to much thematically other than "man if these character got old they'd be hosed up." If we're going for vacuous "just for cool" stuff, I'd rather see some fun monster nonsense with Killer Croc and Man-Bat and Clayface than "Batman cracks a dude in a mudpit:"

The fight with the mutant leader hardly is the thematic lynch pin of that story, but I'd have to read it again to get into much more detail about it, and this probably is not the right thread for that anyway.

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




The next Batman movie will be "inspired" by The Killing Joke, by which I mean the two or three big scenes that everybody remembers will be shoehorned into an otherwise cookie cutter superhero movie. Adding these scenes will make the whole thing confusing and hard to watch, but the execs already signed off on an Oracle movie and they have this script bought and paid for so everybody just has to live with it. A couple dozen youtubers will decry the inclusion of a disabled female character as catering to the SJWs, twice as many will be more upset by the fact that she doesn't get violently raped while her father watches like in the comic.

If that doesn't happen with this movie, save this post until the next one. It will be right eventually.

It's always important to :goonsay: "It's actually sexual assault" every time this plot point is brought up because that's what matters and not that comic books treat and always have treated women like poo poo for their entire existence.
