"Would you want to see an adaptation of an influential era of Batman comics unrestricted by a TV-14 rating?"
Good grief fellow Batman fan, you should really be nerding out in the lemmy DC communities if you haven't found them yet.
I'm a fan of Batman, but the whole Batman concept doesn't work anymore.
Bruce Wayne is the 1%. Batman is working with the police. In the 40s, the police were thought of as "the good guys". Today, I'd rather be stuck in a dark ally with the Joker than the cops.
To me the whole premise no longer plays. I'd like to see a more adult Batman adeptation which plays into modern viewpoints.
Superman just did this brilliantly in the movie last summer. Batman could still be the same. HE thinks he's the good guy. But he's still Bruce Wayne, the 1%.
The cops would act as actual cops do. Corrupt. Cover for each other. Essentially the only legal gang in gotham, but just that. A gang.
Gordon can be an elder cop. The good one amongst the corruption of the other cops. Despite being chief of police, he still doesn't have the ability to control the whole force.
And each of the major villians control their own gang. Except for Bane, who's basically just a 1 man army. And Killer Croc, who's basically just a mutant. Not evil per se, but just an animal. Just like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park. Not a villian, but still a deadly threat if encountered.
Sorry, I like Alfred as an old man mentor/caretaker roll. I always thought they should have made a movie where Alfred was dying, and it emotionally distracts Bruce from being Batman. Thus causing the city opinion to turn heavily against Batman. Thinking he's just letting chaos happen and working with the corrupt cops.
I'm gonna recommend Moon Knight as the best version of Batman without the bootlicking.
✔️ Gadgets
✔️ Martial arts
✔️ Detective work
✔️ Mental issues
✔️ Fear tactics
❌ Billionaire (He made his millions working as a mercenary, which he's now trying to atone for)
❌ Ableism (No "criminally insane" BS, and the best runs explore accurate mental illness)
❌ Copaganda (The cops have standing orders to arrest Moon Knight, so if he wants to work with the cops, he has to dress up as Mr Knight)
❌ Child endangerment
❌ Gay jokes about Robin
That sounds AWESOME!!! I will have to look for that.
The Warren Ellis run from 2014, collected in the From The Dead volume, is the best Moon Knight made in the last 45 years.
