The "Batman" trilogy, a series that disappeared because of Murphy's predecessor, has no related projects at Warner Bros. until now, and the DC Super Hero Cinematic Universe has been launched, and this series will most likely never appear again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A long time ago, Murphy had the idea of this trilogy, but it was rejected by Warner Bros., and he also gave up the series after being rejected, because the copyright is completely in the hands of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and if you adapt this realistic "Batman" trilogy, copyright is an obstacle that the Tao cannot overcome.
However, looking back at the previous "Batman" trilogy, Christopher Nolan achieved the "Batman" series, and the success of the "Batman" series limited the entire DC cinematic universe.
Just like now, after the word-of-mouth failure of "Batman v Superman", many media and critics believe that Murphy has achieved the glorious beginning of the DC superhero movie series, but he has limited the further spread of the series with the ultimate personal style, and the entire series has been deeply branded with his personal style from the beginning, and the extreme success of "Man of Steel" has led to a profound impact on this style among fans, and Warner Bros. does not dare to give up easily.
These words are biased, but there is some truth in them.
Because of the movies being prepared now, it is impossible for Murphy not to think carefully about the "Batman" trilogy of the past, and no one can deny the success of this series and the greatness of "The Dark Knight".
But he believes that once after "Batman: Time to Go to War", Christopher Nolan was ready to borrow the name of Batman and kick him away before starting to tell his own story, and then directly link up with "Superman Returns", which was filmed and produced at the same time, and "Batman: Time to Go to War", and then bring out other people......
Having said that, the comic sense of "Batman: Time to Go to War" is still quite sufficient, born from the comic "The First Year", focusing on Bruce Wayne's mental journey from the death of his parents to his determination to become Batman, step by step to purchase and build equipment, hone his skills step by step, and approach his goal step by step, although the Batman combat power in it is still weak, it is still much stronger than the latter two.
But "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rise" don't have that comic book feel at all, Batman's strength has been greatly weakened, basically when it's time to fight Bane, only flashbangs, smoke bombs, and bat markers are left to use, and in the Dark Knight, he was even put to the ground by the big wolf dog raised by the gang.
In order to pursue a sense of realism, Christopher Nolan successfully erased the mythology, epicness, and technology that the DC universe should have.
Lei Xiaogu did not soak in the hot springs to continue his life; The scarecrow became a weak chicken with a scarecrow mask that fires poison gas from his sleeve; The Joker is the most successful, but he is also a powerful criminal, nowhere near the level of the comics; Bane also didn't have any high-tech venom to inject, purely on muscle.
Therefore, it is impossible for this series to be linked to the DC world at all, it only serves Christopher Nolan, not the DC Cinematic Universe, and I am afraid that Nolan has not considered the so-called DC Cinematic Universe, let alone other superheroes like Superman or Wonder Woman.
When it comes to the linkage of superheroes in the film, this is not created or first used by Marvel, and the first thing used is still Warner Bros. and DC Comics.
The opening of the 1998 blockbuster Batman & Robin has an important message.
At the beginning, there is a scene where Batman and Robin each wear uniform and take equipment, and the camera flashes in front of the camera in turn, such as bat buttocks, Robin buttocks, bat rt, Robin rt, bat big mouth, Robin big mouth and other equipment, and then the Batmobile spins and slowly rises from under the ground, and then Robin suddenly speaks, but no one expected the first line of a Batman movie to be so nonsensical: "I want a car like this too, and the chicks love this kind of car."
Batman rolled his eyes and said, "That's why Superman is a loner." ā
Although this dialogue is thunderous, it undoubtedly reveals an important message: "There is Superman in this Batman world, and they know each other well, and they are familiar enough to joke with each other behind their backs." ā
In fact, from this line at that time, you can see that Warner Bros. had the intention of linking "Superman" and "Batman" series, but due to the epic rot of "Batman and Robin", the film's reputation and box office have swooped to the eighteenth floor of hell, and the director has become the most hated person in the hearts of countless Batman fans.
Not only "Batman and Robin", but also Gotham City, the city where Batman is located, was mentioned in "Superman Returns" released in 2006.
According to Murphy's understanding, Warner Bros. did have its own plan at that time to make Superman and Batman link, but unfortunately the box office and reputation of "Superman Returns" were not very ideal, and Christopher Nolan strongly opposed the linkage, so the plan could only be temporarily shelved.
This kind of thing that happened, because of the chain reaction of Murphy's appearance, didn't happen at all, and Warner Bros. and DC Comics went the other way.
But after Murphy intervened, this road still stubbornly returned to the original route, and even Zack Schneider took over the guide of "Justice League".
"Will the DC superhero movie series sink here?"
On the way home in the car together, Gal Gadot discussed this topic with Murphy because of Margot Robbie's relationship, "Is Zack Schneider powerless to turn around?" ā
Murphy turned around, drove out of Century City, and after driving through a lot of traffic, he replied to Gal Gadot, "Yes, like delegating power to me, delegating power to Zack Snyder, giving him full freedom to shoot." ā
"It's simply impossible." Gal Gadot shook his head, "Now there are no more than five directors in Hollywood who have power like you, and Zack Schneider is too far behind." ā
She thought for a moment, "I think the next Warner Bros. will limit his power." ā
Murphy nodded slightly, "A Zack Schneider with his hands and feet tied can't play to his strengths." ā
Gal Gadot asked curiously, "For example?" ā
"Like grading." Murphy said directly, "He's more suited to the R rating than the PG-13 rating of teen movies." ā
As a visual director who likes R-rated films, Zack Schneider is constrained by the level positioning of mainstream cinema PG-13, can't play cult and is not allowed to talk heavily, and he doesn't dare to expand on the scale of topics and violence, so his signature dark wind has deflated into a mere formality, which can only be called a video style and cannot be elevated to a story style.
The most regrettable thing is that Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman" did not make the slightest effort in genre exploration, which is also related to his own visual kei positioning of emphasizing form, whether it is narrative form or video form.
Murphy is well aware that after thinking so much, the main thing is to remind himself that these mistakes made by Zack Snyder, he must avoid.
Because the film in preparation is also deep and dark, it is also like "Batman v Superman", playing style, forcing style, and taking the path of revenge and deep suffering, at worst, it is more pretending than "Batman v Superman", but this pretending ratio is not formal, but from the theme to the bones.
In short, what he wants to achieve is by no means the kind of formality that is only full and formal.
The car entered Beverly Hills, and Murphy didn't go straight back to Wave Manor, but came to Rodell Avenue and dropped off Gal Gadot.
"I'm not going back for dinner." Gal Gadora got out of the car and said to Murphy, "Eat by yourself, I'll hang out with Maggie and I'll be back later." ā
"Hmm."
Murphy nodded, started the car and left.
Gal Gadot got out of the car, looked around, didn't find the shadow of the paparazzi, walked directly into the coffee shop on the side of the road, stood near the store and looked around, and didn't see Margot Robbie.
"This guy." She looked up at her watch, "Looks like I'm going to be late again." ā
After ordering a glass of lemonade, Gal Gadot walked to a corner and sat down, ready to wait patiently while pulling out his phone from his purse and considering whether to call Margot Robbie.
As soon as I opened the contact directory of my phone, a pair of hands suddenly reached behind me and gently pinched Gal Gadot's face, Gal Gadot didn't look back, just from the shape of his hand and the fragrance coming from behind him, he had already judged who it was.
"You're late, Maggie." She said.
"I've arrived a long time ago." Margot Robbie turned around from behind and sat across from Gal Gadot, "Just went to the bathroom. ā
Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "No wonder I didn't see you." ā
As she spoke, she pointed to Margot Robbie's clothes and asked, "Why are you wearing such a dress?" ā
Margot Robbie wore an extremely well-fitting professional suit, which not only accentuated her bumpy figure, but also looked very shrewd and capable.
"Don't you think that's a good fit for me?" Margot Robbie clasped her arms to her chest and said, "When I auditioned, I found out that I was a perfect fit with the pro suit. ā
When she talked about the audition, Gal Gadot answered, "Good news for you, the crew will be in contact with your agent tomorrow." ā
"You're not going to be the one in charge of the negotiations, are you?" Margot Robbie asked curiously.
"Of course not." Gal Gadot shrugged, "I'm going to avoid it." ā
"Oh......" Margot Robbie's voice dragged on for a long time, and then leaned forward, her bright face leaning in front of Gal Gadot, "you have helped me so much, how can I thank you?" (To be continued.) )
