    I don't get it.

    Batman Begins was a restart and turned out to be the greatest movie ever.

    All Warner Bros needs to do is to bring David S. Goyer and Joss Whedon together for a Gotham City restart. It would rock so hard.

    I wish Clark Kent would get kryptonite shoved up his ass. His butt would die.

    Havent you seen Gotham Angels? You know that tv show about Batman daughter who fights crime in Gotham.....


    Batman tv show woulnd never work,they would ruin the mystery of Batman if they didnt really commit to it.

    I think Batman movies is enough.

    Nope, never heard of Gotham Angels, and I can't find anything about it on the internet.

    And a Batman TV show would be awesome if Warner Bros does commit to it, and why wouldn't they? Batman Begins was the most successful movie of 2005, and it is too much of a boon to their subsidiary, DC Comics. It's all about keeping the audiences interested. WB produced Smallville without any recent Superman movie to guide them as a benchmark of quality to aim for, so just imagine what they could do with a Batman TV show now that they have Batman Begins to guide them. And because of Smallville's fanbase, it's likely that Superman will break Spiderman's box office records. Why couldn't that work in reverse? A Batman TV show would give the WB network high ratings to bury UPN with. Chris Rock would have to rename his show to Everybody Loves Batman.

    The first season could be a 8 or 12-episode miniseries that focuses a lot on Gotham City's dark decline of economy and the gruesome rise of crime in an urban society. WB's punchline can be, "this isn't your 7th heaven." I want a show about the young Bruce Wayne as an orphaned high school or college student with Albert as his mentor and Gordon as the chief of police. I want a show about office politics in Wayne Enterprises, and how criminals run the police department.

    Then the Batman Begins sequel comes out a good two or three months after the TV show goes on hiatus. Warner Bros then milks the sequel in DVD sales and whatnot, and then after half a year they'll air a new 12-episode miniseries about the coming of age of Batboy as Batman's sidekick.

    I'll tell you what I don't want: Clark Kent and Lex Luthor acting like they forgot how to blow each other.

    Smallville

    No offense but the reason why Smallville is a big hit because it deals with his teen life, and face it most teens watch it. I know alot of people who watch Smallville and yes One Tree Hill (yeah I know a corny show). Look I go to a ghetto school, and most of the kids their watch Smallville, no lie.


    But yeah Batman the show would be good, starting from his teen life, training to become batman and all. But I saw the movie Batman Begins, and wasn't he trained by the League of Shadows.


    But Yeah I remember that show Gotham Angels or whatever, about batman and catwomans daughter. That show also dealt with other mutant freaks as well.

    It wouldn't have to be a show about Bruce Wayne training to become Batman. This is Gotham City; not bootcamp. There's more to offer than just training to go shoot up some bad guys.

    It could be a dramatic show about Bruce Wayne helplessly watching the city that his family built degenerate all around him. Imagine his home city being beleaguered with disappointing layoffs and disruptive riots after riot.

    He would be pitted against an onslaught of different philosophies and face tough moral decisions as he grapples with his own ideas about the delicate balance between justice and ruthlessness.

    As Wayne Enterprises continues its own rogue agenda that would never see approval by Wayne's father if he was still alive, and as the police department is more crooked than the scumbags it jails, Bruce questions his usefulness and abilities so he drops out of college to assert himself more in his father's company and in the public but finds no welcome or success.

    The show could mainly be about exploring the darker side of human capacity in an urban sprawl of mistrust, distress, and hopelessness. It'll set the tone for Bruce Wayne's eventual role as an anti-hero or "dark knight" as he is more colloquially referred to.

    It will be according to this backdrop that we learn how empires like Rome or the great Gotham City begin to rust and fall, and how men of wealth and power but also humility such as Ceasar or the ever-tortured Bruce Wayne fight to preserve prosperity and stability.

    The movie Batman Begins had more dramatic and thematic elements as this than it had action, even though the action was super badass and Warner Bros was able to blend action and depth flawlessly.

    That sounds like Frank Miller's Batman where Gotham City is much like you discribe.

    Ahahh yeah that was nice, but more dramatic scenes from his child hood, dont let him grow up too fast. Oh yeah I also looked on Wikipedia for Batman info, I didnt know there was alternate universes of DC comics. Ahah Batman is actually Owlman, in the paralled universe, which he once had mind control powers, to increase his intellect.

    I believe the show he is refering to was called something like "birds of prey" in America and it was god awful. and the WB is already airing a Batman Begins spinoff-ish show called "the batman" which is also pretty god awful. well, at least compared to Batman: the animated series.


    on a side note, does anyone know a good place to get smallville torrents? i haven't watched the show in a while but i hear this season is actually pretty good.

    Smallville season 4 just started over here in the UK, the episode with the force field twins and the Clark/Lana sex at the end was on a few nights ago. The scene with Clark and Lex exchanging blows was just brilliant, I can't wait to see more.

    I also finally got season two on DVD a few hours ago.

    Except for the fact that The Batman is an animated series geared towards WB's KIDS demography, and I'm talking about a TV show called Gotham City that's geared towards the same demography as Smallville's audience ... and no, I am not referring to a show called "'birds of prey' in America". Was "birds of prey" based in Gotham City?

    Smallville

    Yeah it was even called Gotham Angels over her.

    She was Batman daughter so it was pretty given that it was in Gotham.

  16. #116

    Smallville

    So then it definitely isn't the show I'm referring to because I don't give a shit about Batman's daughter.

    What the hell. Why would I be talking about a show about Batman's daughter? Did I mention that dumb bitch in any of my prior posts? I don't even want Catwoman in the picture because I hate bitches. What the fuck.

    This Smallville thread can choke on Lex Luthor's bald head.

    I'll still say they will kill off Pete or Chloe... Still have my suspicion that they might go with Lana for the big impact.

  18. #118

    Smallville

    lana mite be too much of a negative impact though. the lana fanboys would kill them if they killed lana.

    i'd have to say its chloe. its theo nly one that makes sense, and they need to get lois into the newroom somehow as well.

    pete is also a possibility, but since he left the show i dont think the viewers are really as attached to him as to chloe, so that lessens the impact.

    You guys see the episode? Anyways, we all know Lex is falling more in love with Lana, but I don't think Lana will die, and before that, I think Clark will probably tell her about his secrets. But man I knew that chick police officer would die.

    Yeah I saw it...

    Cool episode... glad they started killing off some characters...

    I also doubt they'll kill off Lana, I think we still need a "Lana falls in love with Lex" arc.
