Reeves can mine all the noir imagery he needs out of that source material. It doesn't hurt that Gothic draws heavily from classic noir films like M and the opera Don Giovanni. This is also another comic with strong sequel potential, as Loeb and artist Tim Sale followed up the original story with another murder mystery-driven tale called Dark Victory.ġ3 Images With its emphasis on Batman's childhood trauma, a Gothic adaptation could easily provide Reeves with the more intimate, personal story he wants. That's very much the Batman of The Long Halloween. Based on Reeves' comments so far, we get the impression The Batman is meant to be set early on in Batman's career, at a time when the Dark Knight is still finding his place and coming to terms with the true nature of Gotham City. Batman's hunt for Holiday puts him in the path of numerous villains, including icons like Joker, Scarecrow and Catwoman and relative unknowns like Calendar Man and Solomon Grundy. That villain's murder spree comes even as Batman, Captain Jim Gordon and new District Attorney Harvey Dent try to clean up Gotham and halt a destructive gang war between the Maroni and Falcone crime families. The Long Halloween introduces a mysterious enemy called the Holiday Killer, one who claims a new victim on each major holiday. The Long Halloween Before writer Jeph Loeb created Hush, he crafted another yearlong Batman epic that featured numerous rogues, a central murder mystery and a noir-heavy take on Gotham City. The original comic spawned a massive offshoot series called Batman Eternal, as well as fueled the events of a major Batman vs.
A Court of Owls adaptation also allows for plenty of sequel potential. The conflict between Batman and the Court takes a very personal turn in the climax of the story, resulting in a villain who would be very unlike any other we've seen in a Batman movie before.
A Court of Owls adaptation would allow for plenty of detective elements as Batman hunts for clues about the organization's existence and the role it may have played in shaping his own life. As it turns out, there's been a secret society called the Court of Owls ruling Gotham from the shadows since long before there was a Batman. In this story, Batman is forced to come to terms with the realization that he doesn't know Gotham as well as he thought. The Court of Owls When DC relaunched their flagship Batman comic as part of 2011's New 52 relaunch, the result was a sprawling epic called The Court of Owls. Play Hush is also notable for focusing a great deal on Batman's romance with Catwoman, something that could play well with Reeves' stated desire to frame the story from Batman's personal point of view.
