saw this over on the comic board. the idea of scrapping the DCEU and rebooting as just about Batman and his friends and enemies.

They could do movies about Catwoman, each Robin, Batwoman, maybe a detective movie about the GCPD. they had a comic series at one time like that.

stuff like that. almost all of them would probably be in Gotham. or maybe in one movie Batman goes to meet Ra's in his land or something.

there would be no mention of the rest of the DC universe. only characters with a direct connection Batman's lore would be in the series

the point that the guy on the comic board is making is that Batman is best when he's on his own and not hampered with the justice league. I put up with it in the comics, but similar to the xmen, I secretly have long wished Batman was his own universe

We would have that if WB executives kept their fingers and Zack Snyder out of the pie.

from the topic on the comic board

I'd be fine with this too I guess

In a perfect world would there'd be a Bat-cinematic universe that's part of a greater DC-cinematic universe, where the two co-exist but don't hinder each other. You can have your string of bat-focused Batman films that primarily connect to each other without relying on the other stuff, but then that Batman is also part of the larger DC universe too.

That's basically what the comics do anyway.

anyway, if they only did normal batman movies, inside a DC cinematic universe, that does not leave much chance or room for movies like a solo Robin story, or solo Catwoman, or a movie about the GCPD. I mean look at the MCU. we haven't even gotten a SHIELD solo movie yet. maybe if it was a Captain American Cinematic universe, then they might do that. but not inside an MCU

alot of the spinoff Bat books do well in the comics. the Batfamily line of comics are some of the most successful of the books DC does

I'm tired of the Batman circlejerk that has been going on for decades. DC has other heroes that can carry a movie but Warner Bros are so fucking incompetent. If they can't do a Justice League movie, what makes you think they can do a Robin movie or even a good Batman movie these days.

Not that there isn't potential there but I'd rather have the rest of the DCU get movies before random Bat-family and the GCPD.

I mean obviously the current universe is in bad shape but still.

They need to have writers from the animation team to do dialogue / story on live action movies.

Nah

You can still have solo films, and you can always ignore the JL ones if you want. But being part of a team has been a Batman thing for a long time.

Not just Justice League either. Don't forget Trinity, Superman/Batman and Batman and the Outsiders.

They do need to reboot it but DC characters that aren't Batman get basically zero love these days. I absolutely do think Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, Catwoman, Zatanna, Huntress, uh... Spoiler..? could all have their own films but you don't have to cut out Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Booster Gold, The Atom, Dr. Fate, Captain Marvel, Lobo, Red Tornado, Mr. Terriffic, Black Canary, etc etc etc to do it.

Let's hope under AT&T's new leadership, they change things around and bring a better DCEU.

This. A cinematic universe focusing only on Batman characters would be so lame.

that was different because it was hardcore solo movie. the rest of the universe didn't exist in that movie. not even Batman

a real Catwoman movie would be set in Gotham and there would be mentions of people like Batman and James Gordon

Because that's not really a sure way for something to be good. They're two different media's that is written in different ways. Look at video game movies. A lot of the times they get those games writers to work on them because they know what they're doing, right? There's a reason why those movies usually suck.

But don't get me wrong, there are comicbook writers out there who can do movie screenplays too. It's just not as simple as 'why don't we get the guys who write the comics to write the movies?'
