What would you think of a Gothic/Supernatural/Horror type of Batman movie Yea Forums?
Involving the Vampiric supervillain the Mad Monk?
Or perhaps Man-Bat as a lesser alternative.
Handled with the right Suspenseful/Film Noir-esque atmosphere it could be a real change from the capeshit we have seen

I'd love a Mad Monk story.
It's the exact kind of Batman film I've always wanted, though they should probably do Monster Men before Mad Monk.
Then we shall
Either one would work as 1) a sequel to a purely crime based movie 2) introducing supernatural/super science based antagonists
How come we never got another Dark Moon Rising story? I absolutely love the 2 we got.
Wasn't Legends of the Dark Knight created for these sort of early years out of continuity sort of stories to follow on from Year One? Then it sort of had a bit of mission drift :\
Was a third intended?
It seems like the intention was to adapt the introductions of Batmans first two supervillains
It may not have been intended, seeing that Mad Monk raps things up really well, but I just kind of wish that there could be another instalment. That said, DC would probably find some way to fuck it up.
It waspart of maybe a larger initiative to redo Batman's Golden Age stories that introduced his earliest villains. The Man Who Laughs came out at around the same time as both Dark Moon Rising installments and fits into that storytelling timeline.
Never read this before. So far, so good. Thanks, user.
pls notice me OP senpai!!!! Thx for making this thread
What I've always thought a first Batman movie should be is purely the organised crime and crooked police & government of Gotham
No supervillains
No city under threat, race against clock, whatever
Doing detective work, working his way up the mob chain of command, helping Harvey, meeting Selina, adopting Dick, being confronted by the crooked cops and getting shot up, Selina and Dick rescuing him, recovering from that for the third act show down with a mob hit squad made up of 'also ran' characters like say Firefly, Selina leaving
Second movie you go full super science/super natural villain
And someone like the Mad Monk and the sort of gothic/noir story you could do with that is pretty different to what is being made
I'm not really a fan of this character, or maybe its just her look I don't like - too 90s goth
so does that sound dumb or anything Yea Forums?
What is up with her lips???
>grimace
>an ugly, twisted expression on a person's face, typically expressing disgust, pain, or wry amusement.
Plus also Wagners faces have always been kinda blah
REEEEE why batman is in a supernatural story!!! REEEEE he doesn't belong, call constantine.
Yeah Yea Forums normies would do that, but they have meltdowns if there is even a woman in a movie these days
It's retarded and usually said by people who are not into batman comics but kinda liked batman tas.
D: why
wait a second how is a purely crime based story without supervillains like TAS? that was all about the villains
>Tepes
Reeeeally subtle
how pure is silver dining wear?
surely he could acquire silver ingots
This is why Ace is not a dumb silver age gimmick but quite practical
Is this the end of the Caped Crusader?
How will he defy this diabolical deathtrap?
Tune in next week!
so yeah that was my best attempt at the tv series alliterative and hyperbolic narration :\
Morrison did a pretty good job at it in some of his comics actually
>bat-tering ram
voila
Something I was a bit perplexed by was Catwomans appearance at the start
Nothing ever came of bit
Bit of a checkovs gun moment, to me it feels like it might have been more thematic if she'd been the one kidnapped by the cult instead of Julia Madison - anyone else think so or disagree?
So should I post the Monster Men next or something else?
I think Catwoman's is there to show the rise of the costumed criminals and link to her appearence in The Long Halloween, the previous entry in.continuity.
I dont see how she would have fit better thematically than Julie, you have to rebmemer this story is based in one of Batman's early comics featuring both the monk and her.
Nice storytime, thanks
Pretty sure the two Dark Moon Rising stories are intended to represent the first super science/super natural villains Batman encounters and is set shortly after Year One but _before_ Long Halloween
And the character design for Catwoman is the same as in Year One
if I remember correctly it's in Year One where Catwoman wears the purple costume and leave the scars in Falcone's face, as you seen here but could be wrong. It has been some time I havent read it.
Well I guess I will do Monster Men
also I double checked, Legends of the Dark Knight ran til 2007 so they could have published these in it :\
Is this newspaper article refering to The Man Who Laughs?
Lotdk got pretty bleh towards the end. Wagner did one or two stories in Lotdk, they were good but not as good as Dark Moon Rising minis.
I liked the art in this one more
I love that the moment LotDK ended, they launched Gotham Knights to do almost the same thing
it kept getting subsumed into every event crossover and deviating from its intention of being early stories
That was mostly meh, backups were better.
Gotham Knights was a Batfamily-focused title
I like the concept of that because ideally you could use it to pare down the number of spin of character titles by rotating through featuring them in that
>manlets, when will they learn?
The earliest crossover, "Destroyer", happens around issue 35. It got worse because they tried to tie it into modern continuity more(even when not involved in crossover) and the creative teams got worse. Still a few hidden gems in late Lotdk though.
*not Year One, long Halloween, sorry
#27.
Wagner's "Faces" was the three issues after that one.
It really got sucked into modern stuff with KnightsQuest/End around #59, then all of 1999 for No Man's Land
The anthology format was inevitably going to make it drift since it had no editorial oversight or long term plan
Maybe they should have picked up from where Year One ended and just kept going as a series starting from scratch - a whole series of Batmans start?
>I spent the better part of last year trying to uncover his secrets
so yeah intended to follow Year One
what a bitch
Manlets deserve it
Yeah. If you read Year One, Dark Moon Rising and The Man Who Laughs in succession, you get a pretty solid narrative save for a few continuity errors (the end of Year One teasing the Joker even though it doesn't get followed by the Joker story).
Wouldn't Dark Moon Rising be after if they are talking about the Red Hoods death?
It refers to flashback sequence in Killing Joke, before Joker was Joker
okay
If they did Batman basically like a James Bond series I could see them doing a supernatural story.
Prepare for some serious Bat Action next issue
the bond films are all self contained
I want a big sprawling series each flowing into the next
and sprouting side-quells and spin offs
Does anyone else read Hugos narration in Reductos voice?
youtube.com
Julia dresses pretty lewdly
I like the car he had the start, the idea of him just souping up a regular car to begin with is quite appealing
finale
limit reached, go to
>I'm no Joker
Oh you
