Batman: The Caped Crusader
Matthew Vaughn-Director
Matthew, proving his worth with X-Men: First Class and Kick Ass, can definitely give Batman the right amount of flavor and zest to the World’s Greatest Detective and his amazing mythos.
Neal Purvis and Robert Wade -Writers
Very
excellent writers who penned some of the
James Bond films, including a personal favorite, Skyfall. They can balance story and character development very well, something this film would very much need.
Plot Synopsis
As Batman, the GCPD and Nightwing navigate Two-Face and Penguin’s war, corruption within the GCPD, and try to take the Joker down for his appalling crimes, Batman uncovers Riddler’s intent to take over Gotham, and must solve Riddler’s riddles, before Gotham City destroys itself in the process.
While we are excited to see Batffleck, this is a separate universe. So we chose
Richard Armitage. He
has a lot of great work under his belt, and can give Batman the right amount of gravitas and depth, and Bruce Wayne the right amount of charm.
While traditionally British,
Waltz will break away from that mold a tad, and be more like the
Earth One version, though he will
still keep Alfred’s sarcastic, mesmerizing charm, but also make the character his own.
As a writer of the Gotham Gazette,
Vicki will be Bruce Wayne’s love interest for this film. To play Vicki, we chose Jennifer Lawrence. She can
give Vicki the right amount of sex appeal, but also is very intelligent and will be more than just a love interest, but someone who feels like she is there for the plot and is integral to Bruce Wayne and his life.
Now, before you start
grabbing your pitchforks and torches or start
banging on your keyboards, hear us out. In CBM’s, most of the characters are white and male. So why not spice it up a bit? In this version
Nightwing’s name is Abigail Grayson, and not to much will change, other than the fact that Nightwing is a female, and intimate relationships she has will obviously be altered.
Right? How [frick]ing original. Well
if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Bryan is a fantastic actor with a lot to give this fantastic franchise. Not only does he
sport the Gordon-Stache very well in the first two seasons of Breaking Bad(great show, by the way),
but he’s a phenomenal, Golden Globe and Emmy winning actor.
If you have seen the show ‘Brooklyn 99’ you will know that Fumero plays the role of a detective trying to prove herself to others. This will fit perfectly because it will add a
dynamic between her and Commissioner Gordon as she tries to prove herself to him as he tests her metal, and stands against the
corruption in the GCPD.
William is a
phenomenal actor who can truly portray Joker’s sadistic, heartless nature. Not only does he look like the comic Joker, slicked hair and everything, but also has a great smile.
Joker needs to be a crazy, chills down your spine type guy, and we believe Fichtner can deliver this performance.
We chose Edgerton as Bullock because
he comes off as a very authoritative figure. In this version he will be
very similar to his Earth One counterpart, as a honest cop who comes to Gotham, continuing his
law enforcement career after he was an over glorified Hollywood personality that had a reality cop tv show. As he comes to Gotham, he is
appalled by Gotham’s corruption, but later feeds into the everlasting crime infestation.
Two-Face struggles with his
dual personality, and is always on the edge,
balancing his humanity and evil intentions. So we chose Fassbender. He is a phenomenal actor, and has
proven multiple times that he can give us a convincing villain, but also a human side.
Riddler is genius, crazy, riddle obsessed and needs an actor to not only portray this, but convince us he can do this. We chose
DiCaprio. He has a lot of crucial, critically acclaimed performances under his belt, and can really emulate the insanity that is the Ridler.
We chose
Stevenson as Penguin because he
can come off as a very intimidating person in his roles. This will help him play the role of a mobster trying to run Gotham. Also he’s role as The Punisher has shown that
he can be a merciless character.
