Batman has always been the shoulder handle of DC superheroes, although superman's status is unquestionable, but compared with Batman, Wei Zhengguang's image positioning has brought various limitations to it, and Batman, who walks between light and darkness, often needs to face complex choices of good and evil, so that everyone can see various possibilities. That's why Batman will be one of the most live-action superheroes. In different eras, different directors, different actors, can incorporate their own understanding of the Dark Knight into different versions. So what kind of interpretation will the upcoming new version of "Batman" be?
In the latest interview, the new version of "Batman" director Matt Reeves said something very bold, the director of "Clover Files" and "Rise of the Apes 2,3" said that this movie will be the most terrifying Batman movie in history, because the idea of batman doing all this is very scary and has never been shown like this. It's a detective story, it's an action movie, but it's also a psychological thriller.
There is no darker, only darker, the new version of "Batman" looks like a typical DC movie, but it is this kind of darkness that brings endless charm to the "Batman" movie, once Tim Burton's version of the Gothic dark fairy tale, the previous year Christopher Nolan's version of the realist fable, and the two films directed by Joe Schumacher in the 90s, because they deviated from the dark main tone, completely towards frivolous jokes, so they were much complained about, and from the various trailers of the new version of "Batman", The director seems to want to further expand this darkness into various fields, from tone to psychology.
The new version of Batman is set in Bruce Wayne's second year as Batman, and the official synopsis is this — a serial killer who locks in Gotham's upper elite, a series of hidden messages that guide Batman, the world's greatest detective, to investigate Gotham's criminal organization, and in the process, he encounters a series of characters such as Catwoman, Penguin Man, Carmean Falcone, and Riddler. As the evidence draws closer to the truth and the evildoers' plots become clear, Batman must join forces with new forces to reveal the true face of the mastermind behind the scenes and bring to justice the malfeasance and corruption that have long occupied Gotham City.
The main villain of the film is the Riddle Man, and judging from the trailer, the story should revolve around the Riddle Man committing a series of crimes and deliberately leaving suggestive clues for Batman to investigate. The penguin and Carmen Falcone will not play too many scenes in the film, the role of penguin man, although the role is not much, but it is more critical, and the official is already preparing a derivative series around the penguin man, in the film through special effects makeup (can be called disfigurement) played the penguin man Colin Farrell, has confirmed that he will join the series, continue to play the gotham godfather.
Colin Farrell usually looks like this:
The penguin man played in the movie looks like this:
In addition, the official has long confirmed that another derivative series centered on the Gotham Police Department will be developed, and two derivative series have been confirmed before the film has been released, which shows that Warner officials are full of confidence in this new version of "Batman".
Another very interesting point is that it was rumored that this new version of "Batman" will also have a Joker, and will be played by actor Barry Keone, and the latest foreign media reports that there are currently two versions of the final cut version of the new "Batman", one of which includes an actor and the other does not, Warner is considering which one to choose as the final release version of the movie. And this "certain actor", it is speculated that it is very likely to be the clown played by Barry Keorn.
Of course, even if the new version of the Joker will appear in the film, it will not be a key role, it should be just some clues, paving the way for the next sequel, the Joker is officially the main villain.
