DCU Era |OT3| Of Gods and Monsters
- Thread starter Penguin
- Start date
I think it's worth bearing in mind, assuming it's true of course, that the film is set very early in all of their 'careers' and that we could very well see Catwoman's look evolve over the course of the film(s).
I'm assuming that this will be true of Batman's look too.
I wouldn't be surprised if he replaces that leather-ish cowl from the screentest with a more armory-type one by the end of the film.
Should be a dominatrix look to go with Battison's sex gimp /s
I really hope he and her have an established relationship in the film. I don't need another origin story, nor a "she's catwoman because of the comic, but in this universe she's never called catwoman" like from TDKR.
Got some fresh Batman "leaks" from /tv
On the one percent chance this is true, it all sounds great
>Batman has been active for a year and is wanted by the police and feared by the population. Pattinson's Bruce is very damaged. He is obsessive, brutal, struggles with his emotions, but absolutely refuses to kill, which is why Gordon thinks that he's more than just a psycho. In his public persona, he still acts as a playboy, but instead of being suave, he comes off as eccentric, as if he's constantly drunk and gives no fucks about anything.
>Gordon is still a detective and has been put in charge of catching the Batman, which is mostly a way to keep him in a dead end case and out of his corrupt colleagues' affairs. Batman and he begin working together over the course of the movie. He mentions having a daughter in college.
>Gordon is pretty much classic Gordon, but Alfred is very different. He's no longer Bruce's refined and witty butler, but a gruff ex-SAS and the Waynes' former chief of security. He trained Bruce a lot himself and often goes on the field to help him.
>Batman's arsenal is completely homemade, acquired through Bruce and Alfred's criminal contacts. Wayne Enterprises has nothing to do with Batman in this version. And yes, the Bat-symbol is a collapsable batarang.
>Riddler is the main villain. He's a hitman whose identity is unknown and who leaves riddles at the scenes of his crimes. He's hired by Penguin to take out a series of high-profile targets, but Batman manages to keep up with his riddles, to Riddler's surprise and excitement. Riddler gets increasingly obsessed with besting Batman intellectually, to the point where he turns against Penguin. One of Batman's biggest goals is figuring out Riddler's identity, since in this version he's an ex-Intelligence operative gone rogue who erased all records of himself.
Penguin is a nightclub owner who wants to be the most powerful man in Gotham, and hires Riddler to make it happen by killing the people in his way. He's a total asshole, and quickly realizes the Riddler is out of control and attempts to cut him off, becoming a target himself. The umbrella-monocle-top hat get up is his costume for the Iceberg Lounge.
>Selina works at the Iceberg Lounge, which is just a cover to case and rob Gotham's wealthy as Catwoman. She flirts with Bruce a lot, both in public and on their secret identities, and takes advantage of Riddler's crime spree, but eventually realizes Riddler is going too far and ends up helping Batman stop him. She doesn't find out Bruce's secret identity.
>Even though Selina is around, Bruce actually has a romance with Bella, the Mayoral candidate on the Riddler's hit list. Batman manages to save her, foiling the Riddler for the first time in his career. Bella supports Batman and wants to change Gotham for the best. Matt Reeves wanted to kill her at the end, Warner didn't really like it, and he compromised to having Bella leave Gotham in the end.
>Movie has four major setpieces: An attack on the current Mayor's funeral that leads into a motorcycle chase with a plainclothes Bruce; A car chase where Batman has to find a truck carrying explosives among a series of decoys each heading for a different potential target; a big brawl at the Iceberg lounge with Batman and Catwoman involved; and a final confrontation between Batman and Riddler at the clock tower, with Bella held hostage and the city collapsing due to a cyber-attack on its infrastructure.

On the one percent chance this is true, it all sounds great
I could almost buy this, because some of it actually sounds in line with what we've heard about the film from previous rumored comic influences and a recent leak or two, but aside from the already obvious reasons why we should take this with a big grain of salt, there's one other reason I'm skeptical....
The total lack of mentioning anything about John Turturro's Carmine Falcone. I'd wager on him being an important piece of the puzzle here and part of why this Bella character is running for office. Especially since one of Reeves' big influences for his Batman seems to be Jeph Loeb's early day Bat-Stories, which revealed Falcone to be Catwoman's father.
For now, I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of this ends up lining up with the actual film by luck/due to the OP paying attention to some rumors and leaks. But I don't think it's all exactly what's going on here. If true though, it definitely sounds good.

Hmm. I wanna see it in proper context and I'm sure the stunt double suit is even more second rate than the one Rob probably has on.
Still it goes to show just how much Snyder got it when it came to suit designs.
I expect full fuckery though over the images.

The bike has bat ears. 100 percent loving that. I am wondering if the lenses of the helmet are that big, or if that's simply for the bike helmet the stunt person needs.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Need to see final suit with cape now. Not super impressed, feels TOO home made now.
This shit is totally getting destroyed or replaced by the end, because it definitely gives off the homemade vibes.
Just saw that, hahaha. Prop team was probably like, "DUUUUUDE!!!"
I don't see this suit lasting beyond this film, so the big question/concern people should be having is the Batsuit that's coming next.
I would almost bet money that he'll get a suit upgrade midway through the film or before the final act.
As far as we know, but people get cast during filming all the time.
