Should Get Made
A Zoë Kravitz Catwoman Solo Movie
2004’sCatwomanis one of the most critically panned comical book movies of all metre , but it was wildly unfaithful to the root fabric . The theatrical role play by Halle Berry is n’t even called Selina Kyle ; her name is Patience Phillips . Catwoman deserves a second prospect at a solo photographic film .
Zoë Kravitz ’s sympathetic , relatable antihero fromThe Batmanis everlasting for a solo movie . Kravitz gave Selina more depththan straightforward nefarious portrayals of Catwoman , which is deserving explore in her own movie . Batman is an foreigner , but Selina has the inner caterpillar tread on Gotham ’s condemnable underworld . Her solo adventures could introduce audience to a whole new side of the city .
Batman & Robin
Now that Pattinson ’s Batman has been show and he ’s becoming a more experienced crimefighter , it would be great to see Robin inthis incarnation of the Bat - verse .
After reduplicate let - down , this gritty , run aground world could finally do the fictional character jurist . Like Aquaman , Robin is a goat with the voltage to become a fan - best-loved ikon in the hands of the right thespian and movie maker .
A Police Procedural Starring Jeffrey Wright’s Jim Gordon
HBO Max reportedly objected to the declare oneself G.C.P.D. serial because its supporter was a corrupt cop . A constabulary procedural fix in this Gotham City could still crop with a unlike central booster : Jeffrey Wright ’s Jim Gordon . Gothamwas already a law procedural told from Gordon ’s perspective , but the serial was far from perfect .
Wright ’s Gordon is a fresh take on the quality and Reeves ’ Gotham is a radical reinvention of the conversant setting inspired by seventies neo - noirs . Both could be explore in more depth in a grisly streaming series that brings the Al Gore and wickedness ofSe7ento the well - worn police force procedural genre .
Injustice League
Although he ’s credited as “ Unseen Arkham Prisoner , ” Barry Keoghan ’s twisted smiling and maniacal chuckle would evoke he’splaying the Joker in this universe .
In his innovation inThe Batman , Keoghan ’s Joker ask the Riddler to be his “ Quaker , ” and the Riddler consent . This could be setting up an Injustice League in this universe as the Joker amasses a squad of Batman scoundrel to take on the Bat .
Two-Face
The Batman ’s version of Gotham is teeming with corrupt politico taking kickback from the family . This is the perfect setting for aJoker - flair R - rated Two - Face moving-picture show about Harvey Dent ’s tragic journeying from Gotham ’s “ blank knight ” to one of its most notorious outlaw .
In keeping with the ‘ 70 vibes of Reeves ’ style inThe Batman , a Two - Face movie could be frame as a paranoid political drama likeAll the President ’s Men .
The Dark Knight Returns
Since the new Batman just pop his on - screen arc and he ’s still in the first duet of age of fighting crime , this would be a while away . But , somewhere down the telephone line , Pattinson ’s Batman and the ground Gotham he inhabitswould be thoroughgoing for a right adaptation ofThe Dark Knight return .
Frank Miller ’s gritty , revisionist tone has barrack a clustering of the salutary Batman movies ( including this one ) , but his iconic story of a grizzled , aging Batman has yet to be adapted as a unrecorded - action picture show .
