As much as I don't care for seeing the murder of Thomas and Martha again, nitpicking Thomas lunging seems so silly to me.

gryffinmaster

I'd like to see them go back just a few years, to a point late in his career but before his attitude's too sour and brand-happy.

stingermck

Lunges every time.

slop101

What the fuck are you talking about? He doesn't lunge at him in a single one of those! Or if by "lunging" you mean just standing there, or moving in front of the gun to shield his family. Learn how to read comics.

I don't really know much about him but apparently you lot hate this Umberto Gonzalez. I just ran across this in my regular bs. But he does come off as a fake piece of shit from what I glanced at from that video.

Anyway... some video he posted said that Affleck has total control on his Bats film w/ Geoff Johns as consultant.

Why So Blu?

Who's Umberto Gonzalez?

islandclaws

He's El Mayimbe, a notorious Hollywood scooper. I also hear he's a piece of shit, depending on who you ask.

dex14

He sounds like one when he talks.

Why So Blu?

Ah, that guy.

Solid Snake

Yeah. Never seen or heard him till today but immediately you see that he's a piece of shit just by body language alone. The way he talks too just adds fuel to that too.

Maybe some type of pseudo-adaptation of Arkham Asylum?

Mortal Kombat Annihilation comes to mind for some reason ...

Cool. If there was one major problem with the Joel Schumacher Batman flicks, it was : Too Few Villains!

If it's done where Batman is at Arkham for a while and sees some of his rogues locked up then fine but otherwise it seems unnecessary. Are they not learning from the mistakes of Batman V Superman to not try and cram a bunch of shit in? I have more confidence in Affleck than I do Snyder but it still sounds like a questionable move.

Solid Snake

Yeah. If this an Arkham thing.. it can work... maybe. But... it's Affleck directing it and writing it. Soooo... I've faith in that over Snyder and Goyer working together doing whatever the fuck you want to call their mediocre storytelling skills are.

With this and Suicide Squad DC/Warners are doing a bang up job of setting up the DC Villains Movie Universe. Shame about the Heroes side of it.

After the great Batman games in recent years, and of course story lines like Arkham Asylum i think this is a good route to go. A few years ago they were talking about the possible Green Arrow movie SuperMax with him wrongly accused and locked up in a high security prison with a bunch of villains, having to prove his innocence and escape. I loved the sound of that, and would love to have seen it as a movie. Having something similar with Batman would work really well. I am actually really interested in seeing where this movie goes.

I wouldn't mind some sort of Game of Death style Arkham Asylum movie with Batman going through a handful of villains

Josh-da-man

I've been pushing for them to do Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth as a solo Batman movie since it was divulged that the DCEU Batman has been Around in the universe for a long time.

On the negative side, it's pretty much a horror story that's based around Through the Looking Glass and seasoned with Morrison's occult obsessions, so the folks who think Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice are too dark probably won't be happy.

DaveyJoe

While my mind first went to the Arkham Asylum graphic novel, I wouldn't be surprised if they want to capitalize on the immensely popular video game version, as well.

Mike86

I like the story of Morrison's Arkham Asylum but have never really cared for the art style. It sort of fits the horror nature of the story but it's just not my style really. I'm inclined to agree that the Rocksteady games will probably influence the film as it seemed like that's where a lot of the inspiration for the character in Batman V Superman came from.

Solid Snake

Same here. I like that Morrison tale and the art is good but I just don't care for it for my preference of want in styles.

If the above is true, I hope the C-Lists villains get their moment.
SignalMan, Calendar Man, Cat-Man, Prof Milo, Dr. Double X, Zebra Man, Polka-Dot Man, Killer Moth,
and the Cavalier deserve their 15 minutes of fame.
A mega bar fight scene like in the B:TB&TB episode "A Bat Divided" would be a sweet scene for me.

DaveyJoe

I actually really like the art in Arkham Asylum, I like how abstract it was. It really invoked a certain uncomfortable tone and inspired the imagination which isn't something I got out many other comic books. I thought Arkham Asylum was one of the few challenging, and more rewarding graphic novels I have read.

Seeing the above art made me want to share this killer Batman & Joker art by Bill Sienkiewicz:
