Batman Redone

[Trent Lane]

After watching Batman Forever last night, I got a thought- what would I have done with the same characters, money, and ability to change actors and story for both Batman Forever and Batman and Robin? I started thinking it up and got my stuff, but before I post I want to see everyone else's thoughts...

Batman Forever

I would've started it off like the first two movies.

Start off having Harvey in his office asleep. He's having a nightmare of him running from a dark character flipping a coin.

His secretary wakes him up lets him know he's going to be late for court. He goes to court has the acid thrown in his face. He goes to the hospital has surgery. The doctors reveal the damage and he goes crazy and escapes the hospital.

Or

Start it off with Dick Grayson as a young kid seeing his family killed, and then going to live with Bruce.

Start opening credits and music.

Also if you're keep the story I'd change the 2nd villian to the Mad Hatter rather than the Riddler.

Batman Forever: Directed by Tim Burton

Cast:
Batman: Michael Keaton/ George Clooney
Robin: Chris O'Donnell
Two-Face/ Harvey: Billy Dee Williams (true to the first movie)
Riddler: Jim Carrey

Story:
This time the villians wouldn't work together. Batman would have two cases to follow in this one, without the distraction of Nicole Kidman. Start out with a flashback to a courtroom, Harvey talking to the jury, when the man on the stand tosses a vial of acid at Harvey's face. Batman crashes through the window, but too late. Harvey writhes in pain as Batman kneels over his friend....
Present time, Two Face is pulling off daring robberies and committing horrific murders, mutilating half of the faces of his victims. Batman is on the trail of him while at the same time software developer Edward Nygma is developing VR video game/ puzzles that lead to his being fired and ultimately to him getting revenge on his bosses. Meanwhile, Dick Grayson is a near victim of Two-Face's rampage, but lives because his parents get him to safety before falling to their deaths at the circus. Bruce, in attendance, decides to take Grayson in, never intending to have him become his partner. Dick is consumed with hatred and decides to take off after Two-Face alone. Batman saves Grayson from being Two-Face's next victim and decides to mold him, help him deal with his loss, and bring Two-Face to justice... all the while the Riddler emerges, not in the goofy fashion of Joel's Forever, but as a super criminal genius. Batman and Robin team up to take them both down....

A rough take on what I think would work, but it's a start...

You know, I thought that BATMAN FOREVER was pretty good, story-wise. My only big beef was that Two-Face obviously should have been the "main" villain, and the Riddler should have been the secondary villain. He could have been the "wacky sidekick" - Two-Face just needed to be played darker and have his origin shown with more depth.

Of course, if the Riddler were eliminated from the movie completely, I wouldn't be upset; Two-Face is a strong enough character to be the sole villain for two hours, and you could arguably say the same thing for Riddler.

As for BATMAN & ROBIN - the first easy step is to eliminate Batgirl and Bane from the picture entirely. Then clean up the dialogue. Then give Poison Ivy some real motivation behind her criminal deeds. Freeze's plot wasn't too bad, actually; we all knew that the "Freeze Gotham" thing would come into play, and how we arrive at that point is still believable, considering the situation. All he needed was better acting.

1) Batman Forever Directed by Tim Burton


Batman:Micheal Keaton
Catwoman:Michelle Pfeifer
Batgirl:Dina Meyer
Two-Face: Redo the whole character
Riddle:Jim Carrey
Robin: A KID


I would have to show a scene with Michelle as either Catwoman or Selina Kyle in Arkham or show her come back to help batman or maybe show her normal making it on her own.

Second, Robin has to be a kid i mean Chris O Donnel please why couldn't he live by himself.

Third, I would have Barbara Gordon see Batman and want to be like him and make the costume she uses in Birds of Prey.

U2 still do the track for it right? :D






Batman:Micheal Keaton
Riddler: Jim Carry ("There's always a problem with an untamed animal entering the wild...)

Two-Face: Denzil Washington,

Robin: N/A. DITCH the idiot.

[Dick J Grayson]

Robin: N/A. DITCH the idiot.? Zarius you should be careful you'll upset someone. Robin saved the film Franchise with "FOREVER" by taking a franchise that had no steam and made it the top grossing out of all the franchise, and saved the comic books way back in 1940, when sales trippled after he debuted, and its Michael Keaton by the way.
