Was the dislike for Nolan Batman the lack of detective work because there was some but I could see the argument others did the work for him.

Deep down, you know the answer.
Then I definitely must have watched a totally different movie because I absolutely loved it and thought it was amazing.

The bad part is that I need The Black Mirror to be adapted into a film but that's DickBats. Still the best detective Batman story I think.

Mr Freeze would be a great fit for this but sadly Batman and Robin made the character a joke.
Sad cuz his first episode on TAS was one of the best
Go away forever plz

Ok I'm in 95%. The other 5% is all the other bullshit. Villain? How campy of a take on that villain is it? Is it too serious?
It would be in my opinion if the story wasn't so incredibly lazy in spots. It feels like Nolan and company were running at like 60% full power the entire time because it's one of his worse movies
I want an extremely lose Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth adaptation from this.
Batman trapped in Arkham Asylum for a single night alongside his greatest enemies, having to rely on his drive and natural resourcefulness to survive. Have a mounting GCPD presence on the outside, with James Gordon talking to Batman over the radio intermittedly.
Batman meets Die Hard.

A detective Batman story is what I've always wanted.

I think it was a huge part of a portion of Batman fans disliking those films. Any sequences focusing on detective work were pretty thin or as you said done by for him by others.
Too bad we don't have Alan Rickman alive to play Ra's Al Ghul
"Tell me detective, or should I say, Mister Wayne, do you honestly believe that even you are able to escape this archaic asylum alive?"

Same here, it's the main thing that's bugged me about all the Batman films especially the post-Burton ones.
The Burton movies have fantastic style, I'll give them that. I can enjoy parts of them.
Begins is 1/3 a good movie, but once Batman makes his first appearance, it slowly falls apart. The final act is a trainwreck. I also couldn't stand so much time dedicated to Bruce building his suit. It's boring.
The Dark Knight is a good movie. I just can't get behind the Batman part of the equation. Baleman was bad to start with, and Bale seemed to stop trying after Begins.
Idk. There was that hold up during negotiation due to creative control. Obviously Reeves won so I think we're good.
bingo.
this shit ain't happening. wish you guys would stop getting your hopes up. it's always sad to see you all so let down.

Some of you need to throw an ice pack on your takes and cool those boys off, they're getting a little too hot.
Hopefully Reeves can weasel past the WB execs and get his movie made right like Jenkins did with WW. A noir detective thriller Batman film is perfect and Reeves certainly has the chops, WB just likes to dig their claws into a film a little too often for me to get excited right now, hopefully Reeves takes a stand and gets it made right though.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
I'll save you some time, Batman. The eccentric guy in the costume is behind the crimes and they're at a warehouse and/or docks.

Considering how hard he negotiated for the director's chair, I bet he has WB by the testicles.
It'll work out.

I could go for a 2 hour big budget episode of Batman TAS.

I get that executive meddling is a huge concern after Suicide Squad, but it should be noted that the executives in charge of the DCEU now (Jon Berg and Geoff Johns) are not the same ones who interfered with the early DCEU movies. They came in as Suicide Squad was getting ready to go out the door. The first film they've been able to have a significant impact on was Wonder Woman, which in my eyes, bodes well for the future.
Pretty much, it's a Tim Burton movie being all over the place once again.
Brilliant.

Where are people getting this idea that they meddle behind the scenes with their directors visions? If anything, their one of the few studios who actually leave their directors alone.

sounds great, hopefully it ignores the characterization from bvs so it can stand as a standalone movie and not be burdened by the terrible decisions of the dceu
bvs batman is a murderous idiot & garbage tier detective

I've been seeing this kind of comment with a lot of old comic-book movies lately, especially in threads about the Raimi Spidey flicks and it's fucking frustrating. Has the nature of modern superhero movies made it such that auteurism is dirty thing? Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of MCU films, but the fact that they all follow a fairly-defined "house style" makes me long for the days when visionary filmmakers would get to put their own fun twist on these characters. The fun of superheroes is the endless ways they can be reimagined and reinterpreted. What's wrong with a Tim Burton Batman movie being Tim Burton's "take" on Batman?
no no, Batman meets Dredd. (!!)
Batman having to team up with a reluctant Renee Montoya who at that point has always been a long been a vocal detractor of his work as a vigilante, and the two working together to survive the asylum would actually be prett rad.
Sounds good. I just wish the Batman he's stuck with wasn't a depressed 44 years old murdered.
This is one of the few times ever I wouldn't mind a recast. They can make him die and be replaced by Dick or come up with some alternate earth or whatever.
Whoever thought a 42 years old actor was a good choice for the start of a new cinematic universe are clearly out of their minds. The rest of the Justice League are 35~, have fun 10 years from now with a 54 years old Batman fighting Darkseid.

the hot takes here are getting out of control. Batman Returns is good
I was going to say this gif kind of sums up the problems with Returns, but it doesn't really. That said: why is that Bat Signal shining directly into his home?!

I also think people should temper their expectations of what a "detective noir" Batman movie looks like filtered through the blockbuster machine.

Noir detective story sounds great. I'm still trusting him to draw on his horror roots too. Batman should be scary to bad guys. It's the whole point of the persona.
