@@The_Inferior_Retroman and you can totally see that in his trilogy that he took out the more campy, sci fi, and fantasy elements of the Batman comics (Raz Al Ghoul was title instead of an immortal man and Bane was just a slightly stronger guy instead of super strong because venom serum) But I think he could have done something interesting with the wider DCEU even though to do those you have to include the sci-fi/fantasy

Honestly, your idea for Batman V Superman is much more interesting from a character and emotional perspective. I loved the idea of folding the Nolan verse into Zack Snyder's film universe. The way you explained it gave the action that would take place so much more meaning. Also I could see Hans Zimmer having a blast with the score.

[@gaventovar5820]

That was the initial idea to have Christian Bale return as Batman for BVS as they had subtly set up the DCEU to be the same as the Nolanverse by including a Wayne industries satellite with the Nolanverse Wayne Industries logo in Man of Steel but Nolan said he didn't want his films to be part of the same universe hence why Batman was recast. Thats why they jumped so quickly from a solo Superman film to a crossover with Batman. They intended to bring back Bale and not have to establish their own Batman.

@@stateofhibernation Okay, so he had those kids as a Chekhov's Gun. Still think what Zack Snyder did about Lex Luthor holding Martha Kent hostage was better. We don't need two random kids we don't know even if we got one glimpse of them. I remembered reading comments of the video clip of the fight where one user did not recognize Lois Lane and just mistook her for "Random Woman." If it really was some random lady and not Lois to tell Batman that Martha is Superman's mother's name, the scene really would have been ruined because some stranger shouldn't pop up automatically knowing who Superman's mother is. But with Lois, since she had Man of Steel and all the prior scenes in BvS to flesh out her character and because she was there when Lex Luthor explained his evil plan, she followed Clark to where he was fighting Batman. An established character like Lois stopping the fight is better than a couple of Chekhov kids stopping it.

Hey sean read your comment and i have to disagree with you. Those kids basically represent all of the people on earth that sees superman as a hero and not the enemy that batman assumes is.

Except one problem, Heath Ledger. He was the perfect Joker.

I could also Imagined an abusive relationship with Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn if Heath Ledger was still alive today.

[@tamerafarly7666]

@@VicenteTorresAliasVits I kind of like Live Action Gaston more. He has a more interesting history (He was in the army) and he actually seems like he cares for Belle more than seeing her as a prize to win. Ariel's motivation to leave is the same. She wants to experience life on land and her father destroys her stuff. Ariel's room of things was really special to her and she believes that parents are kinder to their daughters on land (she sings about it in part of your world). I think that's enough motivation for a movie.

[@leisurelyindex]

For that first idea, look for Fix The Flick. His Sequel rewrites might interest you. That second idea could work for the first Thor film. I would imagine that banishment to Earth never happened, because Thor successfully makes a war with the Frost Giants and his own arrogance causes his downfall, mirroring either Odin or even Hela. I could see Loki being a reluctant hero, because he might still have questions on his mind and not sure if it would be as intense as the original. Thoughts, anyone?

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

@@Alejandroigarabide What does that have to do with Nolan's choice to make his Batman trilogy a stand alone series? The reality is Batman works way better as a solo act away from his more colorful and godlike DC counterparts than he does with them if we're being honest. Seriously, he's the money behind the Justice League, that fights off global, domestic and cosmic threats on a regular basis, yet in spite all his money to help the League fight off all these interdimensional, global and/or cosmic threats, he still can't seem to get rid of crime in Gotham City? The bottom line is Batman is way more interesting when he's not associated with his DC counterparts, but that's just me. That's why any attempt to make Batman work in any shared universe with Superman, Wonder Woman and etc may work, but it'll never be as great as how Keaton mesmerized audiences in the 80's and early 90's, nor will it ever reach the levels that Nolan and Bale's Dark Knight trilogy reached.

[@Alejandroigarabide]

@@thewolfofwallstreet627 I respectfully disagree. In my opinion any super hero can work well either in a solo film or as part of a team, it all depends on the execution. Badly executed any concept can suck. Batman worked great in the Justice League series and its sequel JL: Unlimited, yet Justice League (the film) was disliked by most fans, me included. Same basic concept, different execution. Nolan's Batman would have worked great in BvS in my opinion IF the movie had also been well executed. All in all, Nolan's Batman is in my opinion the best Batman and would have improved the DCEU, even if more changes would have been necessary to make the DCEU actually good. It wasn't nice of Nolan to deny a future to that version of the character but that doesn't mean I dislike the guy, or his movies, or deny his genius filmaking. I just strongly dislike one artistic desicion he made. Of course you are welcome to disagree.

[@thewolfofwallstreet627]

@@Alejandroigarabide Nolan definitively said his Batman was meant to be as grounded in reality as humanly possible; hence why the Dark Knight trilogy focused on how Bruce being Batman for years affected him psychologically, emotionally and even physically. It wasn't meant to set up any kind of expanded cinematic universe. Seriously, you're acting like all superhero films need to be part of some shared universe, when they don't. They just need to tell good stories. That's all. I don't need films like "The Joker" to tie into the events of "Batman v Superman", nor "Suicide Squad." I just want it to be a great movie, and it was. Not all comic book based films need to be connected to some shared universe. Plus, "Iron Man" (the first mcu film ever made) came out literally at the exact same year as "The Dark Knight." Nobody knew that cinematic universes for superhero films would work back then, so you can't act like creating a cinematic universe as early as 2008 should've been a no brainer for Nolan and WB because the truth was nobody knew what Marvel was doing with Iron Man was going to work. Back in the earlier years of Hollywood. you'd rarely have studios plan out films for a franchise for the next ten to fifteen years like Marvel Studios has done and continues to do this day. Back then, the idea was absurd and unheard of. Now, it's considered smart because Marvel Studios made it work. Yeah, it's easy for people like you to sit there, and pretend along with everyone else in the peanut gallery, to say how Nolan didn't make his trilogy connect to the DCEU, or make his trilogy set up a larger universe for pretentious reasons, but again unless you were a psychic back in 2008, you and nobody else knew what Marvel Studios was doing using Iron Man to set up a bigger cinematic universe was going to work. And I can almost guarantee if Iron Man, Hulk, and any other marvel film produced afterwards would've failed, then we wouldn't be talking about the mcu at all, nor would there be a DCEU either. Also you are aware that in "The Dark Knight Rises", Bale's Batman was literally diagnosed with having cartilege problems in one of his knees, as i believe the doctor said he didn't have any in his knee, so he had to use a special device to be able to walk in the movie. You seriously think a guy who needed a special device to help walk since he has no cartilege in his knee would be able to go toe to toe with superman in a fight, or help him later one fighting doomsday if they still gone that route? The bottom line is if Bale's batman wouldn't made much sense being in bvs because of his knee problems. And secondly, the DCEU suffered for a lot of reasons. Many of which had nothing to do with Nolan, or his decision not to make his batman series connect to any other dc property.

[@davidcarter1942]

This was....so well done!! I think the integration of the Nolan characters and Gotham, and their known history and relationship to Bale's Batman, add more gravitas to the story. On a side note, I'm one of the very few who didn't have a problem with the "Martha" moment in the fight, but I also like your version of the resolution.

[@TheColSamson]

Here's an idea for a future episode, since we're in the mood of bringing back the old to stand with the new. What if Toby MacGuire's Spider-Man was in Captain America: Civil War (and thus the Spidey of the MCU)? I'll admit, I got the idea from watching an old video by Bob Chipman from a few years back, but I still like to think about how that could play out. Give an explanation as to why he's been MIA since around the time the Avengers formed, give him some moments to shine in the airport fight but still show that he's kinda outta practice, and maybe, just maybe, set up his full retirement and the introduction of a live action Mile Morales

[@ZoanBlade90]

Look up IMissedThePart's What If on that. It's wonderful.

[@thebeaver8456]

I loved the video but I would have kept the ending to tdr. In this Bruce would have changed his name and gone into hiding. Now married to Catwoman and has a kid Damian Wayne. He still keeps in contact with Alfred who is now the new CEO of Wayne enterprises. Instead of Bruce's friend dying in the beginning it's Alfred who dies. This would be a damn good motivation for Bruce to come out of retirement to want revenge on Super-Man. He leaves his wife and son and returns to Gotham. He meets up with John Blake/Robin who has been working solo since Bruce's retirement. Bruce dawn's the cape once more and him and Robin team up to try to kill Super-Man. From here the this can be reworked to fit into the story you told.

[@TheDeathmail]

Here is the one problem I have with this idea.. Bale's Batman is so realistic, that I just can't imagine him as fighting these super beings and planet destroying monsters...

[@aidenwashburn2989]

Agreed but its still fun to imagine nonetheless

[@SeanWheeler100]

Batman Begins had the immortal Ra's al Ghul and fear toxin inducing Scarecrow as it's villains. The Dark Knight had Harvey Dent survive having half his face burned off. And Batman had a lot of advanced tech throughout the Dark Knight trilogy like using every cell phone for a sonar device to spy on everyone. I think after a crazy clown, Batman could deal with aliens. How realistic is a guy dressing up as a bat to beat up criminals and speeding a street-illegal tank with approval of the police commissioner who he constantly disappeared from mid-conversation?

[@aidenwashburn2989]

@@SeanWheeler100 I think what he's trying to say is that the dark knight and the DCEU are two different universes with pretty different tones and while the dark knight delt with some pretty fantastical concepts I also think having a character like superman wouldn't fit the dark knight universe while things such as scarecrows toxin being a little bit more grounded in reality.

YOUR script is far better than bvs itself

Incredible video

[@MustafaAhmed-db2kq]

My script would be that Selena was in Metropolis when Zod attacks. She dies in the City. Bruce blames Superman and turns into the psycho batman we see in bvs. Makes a new Batman suit ( the bvs suit ) and voilà. I love Ben Affleck as Batman, infact he is my favourite Batman but using Bale would be better for continuity as his batman would mean something to the fans. However what we got was epic as well.

[@jamesbourgeois1357]

[@octoberwolf3888]

How come this wasn't the movie we gotten

[@titanguy7316]

Well, despite some hiccups still inherent to this story being told, it hangs together pretty well, and much more so than what we got. Though I am in some ways glad that this iteration of the Dark Knight wasn’t mixed into the DCEU [to potentially sully its reputation].

[@OptimusPhillip]

One addition I'd make: to the scene where Batman is reflecting after meeting the kids, I would have these words echo in Batman's head. "You either die a hero, or live to see yourself become a villain."

[@Themachomanic]

with the exceptions of Luthor’s casting and Doomsday/Death of Superman being used too soon, the three hour version is really good I think.

[@Allsparkwarrior47]

[@joeprovo3627]

I think I'd also like to see a "What If Scar Raised Simba? (Part 2)".

[@crimson5pider]

Honestly this is exactly the movie I expected when it was announced

[@LWNightmareSheriff]

I love this version. But I think you'd have done well to have included the themes of the Dark Knight trilogy a bit more, particularly "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"- especially as 'Bruce Wayne' is dead but gradually sees Batman become a monster. That quote would have been perfect in the scene when the children show up to help Superman. I'd have liked to have seen his internal conflict regarding leaving Selina behind in Europe a bit more as well.

I enjoyed this so much more than the final film, even the Ultimate Edition. And I feel the Ultimate Edition is a good film, but it feels like a film that should be fourth or fifth in a film series, not second. As a fan, I’ll never forgive Warner Bros for not laying the basic groundwork and wasting two years between Man of Steel and Batman v Superman. Before Man of Steel was shot, they should’ve known going forward if they would continue with the Nolan version of Batman or start fresh. And if they were to start fresh, they should’ve been working on a Batman film to release during those two years between MoS and BvS. Even more, they should’ve worked on either a Flash or Aquaman movie during that time period as well. My biggest cringe with BvS is the copious amounts of forced world building. I liked how you had Lex as the audience knows him (not saying there can’t be variations but Lex needs to have a certain sense of refinement about him) and simplified the story to focus on a more natural means for Batman and Superman to come to blows. So much of the actual film just felt like padding and I was glad you got rid of it. The ending feels a little anti-climatic but I do appreciate that it doesn’t follow the traditional action beats of heroes rallying together. The ending feels true to each character and makes me want to know what the next chapter of this story will be.

[@sechabamokoena55]

Toast960 they had a Batman film before BVS but it never went through

[@Passin_Thru]

@Daniel W. Wright I’m right there with you, Warner Bros were so greedy in rushing to get the Justice league movies going to challenge the avengers billion dollar movies they flunked everything. Just follow MCU blueprint and build it up. As Avengers was ending the DCU should have been starting. There was no need to rush, we needed 2 Batman movies and MoS 2 then BvS before even thinking of the JL. I wanted to see a unhinged Batman who operates outside the Superman led JL in their first movie, a man who the JL don’t know is good or bad, because he sees them all as a threat or have had bad run-ins in the past.

[@charliehustle3876]

Daniel W. Wright This idea that WB has to do anything like what Marvel did is in and of itself narrow-minded. The plan, at least from Zack’s viewpoint was to follow Man of Steel with Batman as the antagonist of the next film. They never intended to do what Marvel did so using them as a metric is shallow. Not to mention the comment about Lex having to act a certain way for the sake of the audience or whatever.
