He’s going to make it so nobody like Bane can ever do this to the city again. He lost his City, and lost his way… But now that he’s back, he has an almost manic intensity. He has just faced tremendous failure in the last year of story. People admire him, because most people in his shoes would have LEFT Gotham a long time ago. But it’s clear he’s trying to make the city better. He is one of the richest people in the world, and he has experienced so much loss. He is in control of every room he enters, and people are a little frightened of him. Every waking minute is dedicated to the rebuild of Gotham City, both as Bruce Wayne and as Batman. With Selina on his arm, the “Playboy” Bruce is dead. Instead, Bruce goes to the young money of the city to help finance its reconstruction. The Old Money Gotham is corrupt and broken.
So does Selina… They go to a different type of Gotham City gala. Without Alfred, Bruce is pure practicality. More sweater vests like the old money he is. With him, he would have dressed a bit more like his father. The last vestiges of his more conservative style would have gone out the window with the death of Alfred Pennyworth. He is a billionaire industrialist, but he is strange and a little reclusive. How can you win against him? You’d have to be crazy to try.Įven Bruce Wayne is a figure of the shadows. He keeps getting up when it shouldn’t be possible to get up anymore. To the bad guys, Batman is like Michael Myers. They fear him because they can’t, for the life of them, understand how he does it, which gives him this supernatural air. You fire a dozen armor piercing rounds into his torso, and you still know by the time you race down the stairs to your getaway car, he’s going to be there, ahead of you. The scary thing with Batman, even to villains who have fought him over and over again across decades is that they KNOW that under his suit he is just a man. Batman doesn’t just show up in broad daylight to scare his villains, he uses tricks and shadows, and voice modulation to make it seem like he can be anywhere and everywhere at once. The villains of Gotham fear him, and he is going to take that fear and wield it like a weapon to get his city back under control. The monsters should be deadly and frightening, and Batman should feel frightening in and of himself. Every page of every issue should feel like an action horror superhero comic.
Heading into 2020, THAT is our absolute True North. In some of the best ways possible.īatman is an action horror superhero comic book. And based on his description, it's not an understatement to say the Bruce Wayne and Batman fans have known is gone starring in 2020.
NEW BATMAN SERIES
While DC's Rebirth led other books and creators to 'return to their roots,' King followed the example of his predecessor Scott Snyder, taking the opportunity to challenge Bruce Wayne along with his readers by asking a question few before dared to: could Batman ever be happy? King's final issues and his Batman/Catwoman series will give the answer, but as further evidence his early Batman exit was merely a matter of timing, Tynion now confirms his Bruce will be massively re-defined by King's run. That's when Tom King hands the flagship book to new Batman writer James Tynion IV, having ushered in all of the above changes. the biggest changes to Bruce Wayne's character will be coming to DC Comics in 2020. But if fans thought this turmoil would be replaced by peace, or a return to 'normal'. Pattinson is following in the big bat-boots of Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale and Ben Affleck.The world of Batman has changed more in the past three years than in arguably the decade, or decades before it. If that weren’t complicated enough, he’s also falling for Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) aka Catwoman, and has to go up against the Penguin (Colin Farrell) and mob boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro). As the plot thickens, Batman realizes that Bruce Wayne might end up a target and the Wayne family is integral to the killer’s machinations.
NEW BATMAN MOVIE
(His parents are mercifully killed off screen this time, long before the movie starts, don’t worry.) As Batman, Pattinson is even darker and more emotionally complex, as he is drafted into a macabre plot engineered by the Riddler (Paul Dano) involving the systematic murder of members of Gotham’s upper echelons. As Bruce Wayne he is the loneliest billionaire orphan in Gotham, who is keen on aggressive eyeliner and very emotional journaling. The brooding Batman (and boy does he brood) is brought to you by none other than Robert Pattinson.
