Chapter 653: How to Become the King of Gotham
This "Batman: Time to War" cannot be completely said to be Christopher Nolan's work, there are too many traces of "The Dark Knight Returns", and the whole movie is relatively obviously influenced by Franco Miller comics.
In a way, "Time to Go to War" is Christopher Nolan's work to try his hand out.
Even if Ronan knew about the development of Nolan's version of the "Batman" trilogy, he was not willing to rashly change "Time to War".
Because the current Nolan is not the Nolan when he created "The Dark Knight", his ability and experience are far inferior to later, Nolan also needs "Time to Go to War" to temper himself and win the right to speak for himself and Ronan.
In addition, there is a precedent for the fiasco of "Batman and Robin", Warner Bros. and DC Comics cannot let this film deviate too far from mainstream comics, Ronan does not have an absolute say in the project, and the most he does is to fight for Christopher Nolan's creative space and ensure the investment interests of Relativity Entertainment.
At the end of the day, Ronan and Nolan have to prove the right ideas through a successful film before they have more freedom to follow.
Therefore, the biggest theme of the first part is actually similar to "The Dark Knight Returns", where Bruce Wayne finds himself.
Bruce Wayne is not a coward, because of his experience, he hates crime and wants to fight crime, and he, the pride of Gotham City, wants to save his city.
The most important thing he needs to do is to find himself and face his inner fears.
Why do people fall? It's because you have to learn how to get up.
On the top of the snowy mountain, Bruce Wayne has gone through the rigorous training and spiritual guidance of the ninja master, and the once lost mind gradually finds the way to go in the future, fear brings him pain, and fear will also bring him strength, the power to save Gotham City.
"If you can go beyond your limits and put your heart and soul into a noble ideal, they won't be able to stop you, and you will become something else, a legend. ”
How do you surpass yourself? How to overcome the ego? It is necessary to overcome the instinct of the ego, which is fear.
"Bruce, why do we fall? So we can learn to get up. ”
It was a phrase from his father that Bruce Wayne remembers most vividly, and he conquered his fears as he stood up from a swarm of screaming flying circling bats.
A legend is about to be born.
In the underground cavern, Bruce Wayne slowly stood up surrounded by bats, and he finally got a new life, and he turned from fear to synonymous with fear - Batman!
The differences between Master Ninja and Bruce Wayne stem more from philosophical differences, which can also be said to be ideological differences, and ideological issues are often irreconcilable contradictions, especially in the treatment of the fallen city of Gotham.
The Master Ninja inherits the consistent tenets of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, believing that evil can only be eliminated and that order needs to be rebuilt on this basis.
But Bruce Wayne thinks that Gotham City can still be saved, and although he has become the embodiment of fear, he is not a law enforcer, let alone a random person or force to deal with those criminals at will.
Batman also formed a basic principle - not to kill.
This principle can inhibit the power that Bruce Wayne has transformed from anger and fear, thereby limiting the problem of violence hidden in the depths of the heart, and it can also be a kind of imprisonment.
The ultimate villain of this film is Batman's teacher, Master Ninja, Batman's fighting skills are taught by him, and the Master Ninja did not know how strong Bruce Wayne's beliefs and unshakable conscience are, which can be known from Wayne's resolute refusal to behead the farmer.
Faced with his own principles and the ninja master who wants to destroy Gotham City, Bruce Wayne chooses neither to kill nor to save, allowing the leader of the Shadow Warrior League to fall along with the rail car.
At the end of the film, Batman talks to Sheriff Gordon on the rooftop, and people have regained hope, Gotham City has signs of recovery, but crime has not been eradicated, and good and evil will continue to fight.
Batman unfolds his cloak and flies through the night sky of Gotham City.
This is the story of a man who overcomes and becomes fearful and uses it to fight crime.
The birth of Batman has added another tour to Big Brother Tan.
It is precisely because Gotham is so beautiful that Gotham people love it so much, and there are thousands of ways to love it, and they choose the most passionate one.
The Metropolitan Superman support group represented by Mr. Lu made it clear that the mascot of our city is sunny and optimistic, unlike some cities, from the cityscape to the mascot are depressing and black.
The named Gotham fan group was not convinced, and the head of the group clown angrily scolded: You guys have no taste! Spicy-eyed panties wear three primary colors outside, how can they be compared with our high-end atmosphere and high-grade late-night black!
Not long after the premiere ended, some fans posted relevant sharing information on the ever-expanding Netflix share.
"Time to Go to War" aptly shows the relationship and characteristics of the main characters, and should also lay the groundwork for the later fate of each character, the most prominent feature of which is that Batman in the movie stepped down from the altar and became a flesh-and-blood man. ”
There are also fans, after reposting the video "Into Gotham", the precautions for Gotham travel are attached.
"When you travel to Gotham City, where the people are simple, don't actually prepare anything, because what should come will always come, and you can't stop it. It is advisable to go to a chemical plant, as for which one, you know. Find the biggest storage tank and jump down, if you can survive, you can basically get the gold medal and the aura of the protagonist, specifically refer to Ugly Lord and Hallie. ”
"As one of the symbols of Gotham City, Arkham is a must-go, and it's the best place to transform your life, and even the safest place in Gotham. Outside the sky is falling apart, the blood is flowing successfully, Arkham is here, quietly, those simple Gotham good citizens, it seems that they will not make trouble in Arkham. ”
"Arkham's experience will inevitably make people sublimate and become a generation of Gotham heroes, and someone will definitely help you draw a comic book ...... later"
"Finally, everything else can be given up, Arkham must take a look!"
After the premiere screening, the crew convened a regular post-screening press conference, which Ronan also attended as a producer, but he took the initiative to push Christopher Nolan to the forefront for the sake of the future.
In the future, directors will become stars, directors will have crazy fans, and Christopher Nolan is the most typical representative.
"This movie is mostly about Bruce Wayne's upbringing. ”
Christopher Nolan is also calm in the face of many media reporters: "In this film, my most important portrayal is not Batman saving the city, but his process of learning fighting swordsmanship and overcoming his fear on the top of the snowy mountain......"
Listening to the reporter's question to Nolan and Nolan's answer, Ronan suddenly became a little distracted, because he thought of a very profound question.
How do you become the king of Gotham? like the Joker? Or Batman? Or the Court of Owls?
It doesn't seem to be a good fit, and it can't be called the king of Gotham.
For DC Comics, this seems to be a question close to the three ultimate philosophies.
Ronan doesn't read many superhero comics, so he can only consider it comprehensively in combination with the DC superhero movies he has watched and a small number of comic book plots.
Not to mention, thinking about it for a few minutes, it really reminded him of a Gotham King quick fix.
If it goes well, maybe you can dominate Big Brother Tan.
Pick a good time, and on the first night of your arrival in Gotham, go to the alley of a theater and wait for those two gunshots, and when the killer runs away, before Gordon and Ah Fu, put a dress on the little kid, and comfort him that life can go on.
Then run to somewhere underground, find that pool, face the Dionysian factor, you're welcome, drink it, drink it and you'll be immortal. If you can't drink it, you must take it all away, so as to avoid the true love of the big bat from becoming immortal, which will lead to uncontrollable accidents.
Wait until the next day, the identity of the little kid is exposed, and you must go to Wayne Manor to brush up on your presence, and tell the little kid and Ah Fu that they probably saw the murderer and can help solve the case.
Okay, I've basically worshipped the prestige of the little kid and Ah Fu, borrow a sum of money, go to Kansas, there's still a kid waiting for you on the farm, tell Martha that you're the kid and his dad Carl Al, find a way to bring it back to Gotham, and be with another kid in the company, big brother Tan will be guarded day and night in the future.
I have a son, how can I do without a wife? It's not easy to be a single dog.
The little bat has money, and money can do a lot of things, so go find out where that Diana is, in the style of DC fighting and demolishing the city instead of elementary school students, as long as the money is spent, it will definitely not be difficult to find.
Find the woman, pretend to be mature, go see her, and tell her: Diana, I'm Steve, I'm back, mutated by the gas explosion, disfigured, immortal, etc.
If she doesn't believe it, there is the ultimate killer feature: I save today, you save the world!
Don't be cowardly, be brave, pounce on it, the goddess of war is yours.
Well, now I have a godson named Bruce Wayne, a biological son named Clark Kent, and a daughter-in-law named Diana Prinz.
Harley Quinn, Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Canary......
They're all waving to you.
It seems that there is still a question, what if Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are young and separate?
Decades later, in the abandoned port of Gotham, Batman is about to stab down with a kryptonite spear, and Superman yells: You're helping them kill Steve!
Batman immediately stops: why do you say the name!
Wonder Woman descended from the sky: "Because Steve is my husband, Superman's father!"
Batman yelled, threw away the spear, and burst into tears: "Steve is my dad too!"
