This movie is going to be a grounded, gritty crime movie mainly inspired by Batman: Year One and Batman Begins. Here are the roles:

PLAYBOY BRUCE/BRUCE/BATMAN: young adult male, normal serious voice for Bruce, for Playboy Bruce the same voice but instead of serious a light-hearted lovable fool, and for Batman a whispery, serious voice for a no-nonsense, efficient, brutal vigilante. Age in-universe: 24 years. Accent: casual American.

DETECTIVE GORDON: adult male, smooth voice for a serious but somewhat sarcastic police officer. Age in-universe: 39 years. Accent: casual American.

ALFRED PENNYWORTH: adult male voice for a sarcastic butler with a mentor/father-figure vibe. Age in-universe: 50 years. Accent: British.

COMMISSIONER LOEB: adult male, harsh voice for a slimy, corrupt police officer. Age in-universe: 54 years. Accent: casual American.

HARVEY DENT: adult male, serious voice for a no-nonsense ADA. Age in-universe: 30 years. Accent: casual American. There are also a few smaller supporting roles. The script is currently at Draft 2. The story is set in stone, but the script isn't polished yet. This is an unpaid fan project, but everyone who participates will be credited. DM me via reddit if you're interested (voice sample as well if you can) and I'll share the script.

edit: it's a short film

i mean think about it, even maul was about to be executed and he dose not look like a jedi, did palps give the order, interestingly during the inhibitor chip arc in TCW when tup malfunctions there's a scene were he's tied up anakin near him he is docile, then when tiplee comes he lashes out at her, do you think that he was written off in the programming of the chip?

Batman Begins is quite possibly the best superhero origin story ever made, with only, in my opinion, Iron Man (2008) being close. The film goes out of its way to explain everything, why did Batman start fighting crime? Why is Batman obsessed with justice? Why did Batman adopt the no kill rule? Why did Batman dress up like an animal to fight crime? Why Bats? And the movie did so wonderfully.

The best part of this film is no doubt Bruce’s arc. He starts off as this broken angry man who blames himself for something totally out of his control and after being mentored by several people, Alfred, Rachael, Ra’s, and even Falcone, he becomes whole again. From Rachael he learns what true justice is and why vengeance is just self-gratification and dose more bad than good. The scene where he’s disgusted with himself for trying to kill Joe Chill is perfect. This lesson explains why Bruce adopted the no-kill rule. From Alfred Bruce learns compassion and resilience, the things that keep him human and prevent him from getting engulfed in the symbol he’s created. From Ra’s Bruce learns multiple things: how powerful symbols are and how a human can become immortal by transforming himself into legend, this explains why he dresses up like an animal to fight crime. He learns how to master his fear which explains why he choose bats, his greatest fear, as his symbol. He also learns thewrong version of justice which helps him have a reference of what not to become. From Falcone he learns how deep-seated the corruption in Gotham is and why he can’t do good as Bruce Wyen he must become Batman. After his lessons Bruce is ready to fight crime in Gotham as the caped crusader.

Here’s a few other things Batman Begins nailed: the score is immaculate, I love the Mollossus beat its so Batman, it’s dark but with a sprinkle of hope. The hero/villain dynamic is excellent, both Bruce and Ra’s want the same thing, justice, but they’re means to getting to the same end are vastly different this is possibly my favorite type of hero villain dynamic.

Now for criticisms: the biggest issue is that the movie keeps telling us Gotham is lost but it never shows us, a few shots of homeless people don’t cut it, that’s just every major US city, and as for corruption outside of Falcone we don’t see a lot of that either the scale of Gotham's decay never feels as overwhelming as the script claims. This is an aspect I feel The Batman (2022) got much better. It’s been stated many times that the VFX and choreography is sloppy, and I have to agree, the quick-cut highly edited action style is very hard to follow and it just ain’t enjoyable, as for the cinematography it’s fine but just nothing special and I would expect more form a Nolan movie. The VFX don’t hold up at all, and don’t tell me it was 2005, Revenge of the Sith came out the same years and it looks light years better than this.

In conclusion Batman Begins is a fantastic story with strong execution held back by inconsistent action and dated visuals. 8.6/10.

 

i know a lot of people will say 2001 a space odyssey, but personally i think death in venice has the best incorporation, it's so well integrated it almost feels like it was scored for the movie.

Tenet is widely regarded as a weak movie and a failure, but I would beg to differ.

An artist's greatest death is to grow complacent and repeat what made their previous works great. Now, you might be wondering, "What the heck does this have to do with Tenet?" Well, Christopher Nolan, instead of growing complacent and repeating what worked with Inception and Interstellar, took a risk and made a movie that is an experiment—an experiment that asks the question, "Can a sci-fi movie with an intriguing concept be as gripping if you remove character?" The answer is undeniably no, but it was a risk worth taking and a question worth asking.

If you're not certain Nolan intentionally made the main character a blank slate, he's literally credited as "Protagonist." It has already been stated many times how good this movie is technically, so I won't talk about that.

As for flaws, I wouldn't call the lack of emotion and character a flaw since it was intentional, but the movie has one big flaw: exposition. Nolan nailed exposition in his previous movies, but this one is so much more complex that there was more exposition needed, and unfortunately a lot of it felt awkward.

In conclusion, Tenet is not a movie I enjoyed, but it has made me respect Nolan more than I did before.

7.8/10

the dark side peaked during the rakatan empire if you think about it. unlike sidious and vitate's empires the infinite empire ran on dark side everything was about the dark side not just the person at the top. their hyperdrives ran on Force‑sensitives in agony, their terraforming tech was a bunch dark side rituals, and their whole society was structured around the dark side. sidous and vitates's empires weren’t built on dark‑side infrastructure the way the rakatan empire was. the more i think about it i realize plagueis would've loved to have lived in the time of rakatans and would've been proud of they're dark side science/tech
