Batman: Year One - The R-Rated Reboot That Almost Was (ft. Frank Miller)

You know your batman is way too dark and edgy when Frank Miller says: "My Batman was too nice for him"

To be fair, his batman was always the nice guy. It was his Gotham that was more cynical and dirty.

[@dcworld4349]

@@lukeg6017 Once Robin was introduced the darkest he got was the Neal Adams Bond Batman era before TDKR. But the sequels were really bad, Carrie as Batman is dope AF but the rest of the books are just him taking crazy pills. I actually like Allstar as an elseworlds story but doesn't make sense as a part of the same universe given he's an actual psychopath. Even Oliver from season 1 of Arrow would question his actions.

[@SkullKingOG]

i truly believe u can make a batman movie rated R without him using guns or killing. i mean look at the brutal things he did to people in the arkham games. look at the animated movies and how brutal he is in most if those. if he does kill tho its gotta be the joker cause well come on the joker is ALWAYS batsies first murder

[@dcmarvelcomicfans9458]

Honestly they can take inspiration from the Daredevil TV show it doesn't necessarily kill or use any weapon to kill them but he definitely is brutal

[@v-trigger6137]

I believe Daredevil did something like that. the tone was very dark, r-rated. but Daredevil never killed anyone, he just sticked with his no killing code (although he did beat up people very brutally). they can definitely do something like that with a r-rated batman. the thing though I just don't understand is that, why these filmmakers thinks that batman necessarily needs to kill to make the movie dark. like his no killing code is the whole reason what makes him a humanist complex character, if you get rid of that code, then he will be just another punisher type vigilante character in mask with no meaning at all.. it's a simple thing that these filmmakers just don't understand

[@SkullKingOG]

also when u REALLY think about it some of the stuff bats does is even worse than death. i mea u KNOW at least some people he "fights" are gonna be in wheelchairs forever or be eating crap thru a friggin straw for the rest of their lives. i mean even his dang batarangs actually stab into and impale people they just dont kill them. honestly if i ever was a crimimal and i saw batman diving for me id rather shoot myself than let him put me in a life long coma

There’s similarities to Reeves Batman whose Batsuit looks homemade & almost patched together instead of the sleeker begins version & his batmobile is basically a heavily customized & armored muscle car. Reeves Batman seems like a rich guy who cobbles together his gear but doesn’t have a gadget guy like Lucius probably because he’s still so new to this gig so he doesn’t trust as many people.

It's not the type of Batman and world that can sustain multiple stories (see The Dark Knight Strikes Again and All Star Batman...).
