Eivion Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'm torn. I totally want a Batman Beyond movie. I just also was hoping we could maybe Keaton to play old Bruce. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 They'll do Batman Beyond for sure but all this Affleck talk, I'm not quite buying it. Gotta wait until November to see if it's real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Keaton and Clint Eastwood my choices. Be cool to see Batman of the Future as it's called in the UK on the big screen. Keaton returning to the Batman would be grand.

(BP) Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I'd love Keaton to come back for Beyond, but the only thing that would get him interested is if Burton was directing. Burton probably wouldn't do it and definitely shouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Wonder Woman passed $404 million domestic and is now the highest grossing domestic superhero origin story film ever, beating out the Toby McGuire Spider-man. 23rd highest domestic performance period too. Ridiculously impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Warner Bros is working on an origin story script for..... The Joker. Seriously. Todd Phillips (The Hangover) is directing it, co-writing it and co-producing it with Martin Scorcese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The whole point to The Joker is not knowing where the fuck he came from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I think Sean Murphy's new bat book is going to be first time since Burton that they are naming him Jack Napier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 He's referred to as Jack Napier a couple of times in BTAS and in a comic here or there. I think they have to cut a check to Nicholson anytime they use the name, which is why it's probably seldom used. I'm getting an uneasy Hannibal Rising vibe from this.

I was going off something Murphy himself tweeted the other day. Maybe I can track it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Some book had him using the name Reipan several years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I always liked his name being Joe Kerr. I think that's from Killing Joke originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Apparently it's set to launch a film line that's basically like OGNs to the DCCU. Out of continuity stories featuring different takes on the top franchise characters. Which...the idea of a line like that is more exciting than the film itself. Also as this will be a standalone, no Leto Joker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ligerbusa Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Now Matt Reeves is saying his Batman movie is stand alone, Hollywood Reporter said it won't star Affleck but later removed it. Affleck himself talked about working with Reeves at Comic Con. And the Crazy, Stupid Love writers are writing a Harley/Joker movie that may or may not be the Gotham City Sirens movie that is already in the works. I'm confused. But I'm seeing The Dark Knight in a movie theater tomorrow so that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unholy Dragon Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 The Harley/Joker film is apparently its own thing. Which...I think they're approaching 20 movies in development with spinoffs galore and yet they've already had to pull one off the schedule. It's increasingly hitting Guillermo Del Toro "I'll believe it when it's shooting" level. The Batman is apparently standalone in the sense that it won't be expected to set up or play off DCCU stuff but will be set in it (unless something changes.)

Brian Fowler Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Yeah, that really seem to be just throwing out ideas to see which ones register with the public, I think. Like, they really don't know where to take the DC megafranchise, but they know they need to take it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Well the word is that they want to continue the DCEU but also do movies that are separate so the writers/directors don't need to concern themselves with everything else and it's supposed to give audiences alternative timelines/stories/origins like how we see in the actual comics. I think it's a good idea but I don't see most of these really getting off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
