Batman 3

Sum mumma bitch, so we're getting this ball rolling. I ain't putting my ass into that mess even though I love batman and think he's the best superhero simply because he's a self made one, not some guy who got magic powers from radioactive shit, but a man who pushed himself to the limits of human perfection and beyond, something I've always wanted to do myself. He's dangerous not because he's the most powerful, but because he's the most determined and fearless person alive thanks to his traumatic past.

Which is why I'm wary of what they're planning to do with the next batman movie. I watched the dark knight and enjoyed it, but having seen it recently it's definitely hampered by its annoying callbacks to batman begins, as if that movie was some really great memorable film or anything, and the serious fumbling of batman's character. Same problem from begins persists, batman's not much more than a very big ninja. He even defeats teh joker not by outsmarting him but by having a handy dandy knife shooter in his gauntlet. fuck that. Then like many online complain, the nigga goes and kills two face, after we spent 2 hours hearing about how he can't kill people, 4 counting begins, and once again they fuck it all up. Love ledger though, probably single handedly saved the film with his wonderful joker. He's in his own movie though. One side it's joker's playhouse, the other it's an average crime thriller. Choose one you fuckers.

If there's anything ledger did wrong it was making joker a little too predictably psychotic though. Joker's not a raging loon like so many other bad guys. He's just weird. Like pee wee herman. And in my mind he kills people because it's hilarious, not because he's just a big jerk. I wish they'd have tried to tone down the whole horror movie freddy kreuger bullshit. joker's not scary, he's weird, which is what they captured perfectly in the burton film despite it being a little too nicholsonish.

So on to batman 3. Make it about batman this time please. His troubles, his problems, his lamenting the loss of his parents, his use of his incredible mind to thwart his enemies. I know it's not popular to say but batman forever and even batman and robin have done a better job at giving us a mature intelligent batman than the nolan series. Make batman grow up, be a man this time. We got that stupid bitch rachel out of the way. I think it's time for catwoman now, this hot shot new secretary or something who has her eyes on bruce wayne and batman.

People online keep saying tdk can't be topped... not true. They just need to do with batman what they did with joker and it'll be pretty easy. Probably even recasting him would help. Bale's so bland as batman it brings down the character's ominous presence. But yeah if they focus on batman this time and I mean not even any more scenes with bruce hob nobbing about with a bunch of his hos, but just straight up, batman thwarting foes, with some bits thrown in of his relationships with girls possibly catwoman herself, and tdk will seem like the overrated bloated mixed bag that it was.
