More playboy Bruce, and maybe not Matches specifically, but some form of disguised detective work. And for him to actually solve some of the puzzles. Definitely felt he relied too much on others (Penguin for the Spanish phrase, random cop happening to tell him about the carpet tool, etc). Let him detect stuff.

This guy gets it..

Bruce had to level up his character a bit so he could multi-class into detective work. Haha

Some puzzles/challenges involving street knowledge might be good for worldbuilding and characterization. The Court of Owls story has that bit about the gargoyles. Let Bruce work some stuffs out on his own and let him notice the details.

A solid story that builds on the Batman mythos, well acted, competently directed.

Black mask since he fits the noir-ish theme and we havn't seen him in a live action adaptation as far as I know of.

100% agree, he’d be a great rival for the Penguin

He was actually the villain in Birds of Prey which only goes to show how little an impact that movie made on pop culture haha

Ewan McGregor being wasted in films is basically a meme at this point.

Thats a good idea

I wanna see some more unique gadgets

Yeah, I would cream my pants if they could somewhat replicate that warehouse fight from BvS (minus the killing) but with the accurate use of multiple gadgets in a small amount of time.

That one one of my favorite parts of part 1!

A good story. That’s it. And if that doesn’t happen (which I doubt considering we’ve got Matt Reeves) then I’ll probably still be alive. I don’t have much for expectations. There are things I think would be cool to see, but it’s not my movie. I’m just here for the ride.

Villains wise: Deathstroke, Court Of Owls, and Hush Side characters wise: Lucius Fox

I don't want Lucius Fox in Reeves' films. If Lucius is in these movies, it's only going to make The Batman films even more similar to Nolan's trilogy and people will accuse it of copying Nolan. Also, I don't want a Batman that relies too much on Lucius Fox. One thing I love about Battinson is that he's the one who created his own gear and gadgets, he didn't rely on anyone.

Agreed, it’s better if Batman makes everything on his own.

Surprisingly, that was a major aspect of batfleck's character, he's purchase parts in high numbers and build things himself, from his grapnel all the way to his laser he used to carver the Kryptonite

Lucius fox is a good idea, I loved Morgan Freeman's performance in TDK

Except the likeabiliry of Lucius Fox in that movie has more to do with Morgan Freeman than really his character, imo. Other than a few tongue in cheek one liners and exposition l, he sisnt really do much.

Way too early for the Court and Deathstroke isn't terribly interesting as a Batman antagonist.

God no on all of these. Deathstroke is a Titans villain, not a Batman villain. The Court of Owls has been ruined by Gotham FOX, Gotham Knights CW, and Gotham Knights WB Montreal. Lucius Fox is one of the worst things to happen to Batman as a character. Because of Nolan everyone now thinks that Batman is Ninja James Bond who needs a Q which is Lucius. That shouldn’t be the case since Batman should be Ninja Doc Savage able to do the intellectual work by himself he never needed Lucius or Barbara. What he should be doing is using practical effects as much as possible using Man-Bat. He will have to ACTUALLY be the world's greatest detective without advanced tech and a legendary scientist as he tries to cure Langstrom of his condition. This is why Batman films need to evolve in some fashion. Nolan did the grounded-in reality to perfection it's time to do the same with some fantastical elements or we continue to stay stagnated with Batman as a character.

Firstly, Deathstroke can be far more than a titans villain, he is a "will fuck with who ever he's been paid to fuck with" character, so if that includes batman, it includes batman. Secondly, did you even play the Gotham Knights game, it had the best adaptation of the court of owls we've ever seen, I'd even say it exceeds the original in some aspects

First off Batman when he's in Gotham should be fighting villains specifically created for him. That’s why he should be going up against another warrior in the enhanced assassin for hire Philo Zeiss. Yes, I did play it. I pre-ordered it on PS5. I never said that they're bad villains just that they have been ruined in the projects that they've been attached to. That's why I listed the projects. They need a breather just like the ridiculous grounded-in-reality approach to Batman.

"Deathstroke is a titans villain" meanwhile arkham having one of the best portrayals IMO

Deathstroke would kick Pattinson Batman's teeth in. I do not like the idea of making a young, inexperienced Batman face Deathstroke, especially in a grounded universe like tis.

He’s not going to be inexperienced in every film lol

Only if we are getting a big time gap between the movies. My comment was made with the assumption that the sequel doesn’t take too long after the first movie.

Anything is possible. When the Penguin show releases on Max, we will have a better idea. The whole point is for this Batman to have a character arc and show his growth. He will be a badass. Can’t be a flying squirrel forever

The Penguin show is taking place just 1 week after the events of the movie in case you didn’t know. We shall see when the second movie takes place. I would prefer it take place not too long after the first movie, so we can get a grounded Mr Freeze in a flooded Gotham.

Dick Grayson Preferably alive

You know what would be SUPER cool? Gotham flooded and the harshest winter ever comes. Everything is drowned in ice and people are trying to survive. Criminals have a field day and Batman is trying to help everyone. Gotham UNDER ICE!

You know what would be even better! Gotham city under water, people struggling to survive, criminals taking anything what they can while all of a sudden, the water starts freezing, people being frozen alive all because of one man. Mr Freeze taking the city and making it his giant ice palace, just to get a cure for his wife but bringing harm to anyone who gets and stops him.

True

Or, hear me out - Gotham ON ICE, and the entire movie takes place in a skating rink. Batman and the Joker do a couples routine.

That would be ice to see

Incorporate more scenes with the Bruce Wayne part of the character. Also have more side characters for him to interact with and develop them so that they can carry scenes by themselves. One thing I noticed in the first movie is that like 95% of the movie has Batman on the screen. We barely get any scenes where he isn't involved somehow. It felt like plating an Arkham game where you're just seeing things trough Batman's eyes. But then again that's probably the reason why some people love it so much.

Then everyone complains that the movie wasn’t about Batman and was only about the villains.

more freaks - of science and/or of nature. manbat, croc, freeze, show us a fully realized Gotham City where these villains exist in varying degrees of freedom and known whereabouts.  we already know the town has psychos and gangsters.  bring in the freaks. and harvey two-face dent. 

Bruce Wayne acting more like a playboy millionaire

[Wayne Enterprises' commercials are gonna look like this:](https://www.reddit.com/r/batman/comments/11bc342/honestly_wayne_enterprises_dont_even_need_to_hire/)

LOL, I wouldn't mind this

*Flies to secret island full of under aged girls.

Roman Sionis

Court of Owls would be amazing.

Mr. Freeze or Clayface A more fantastical villain in general.

I wanna see a weird ass villain that could work in the more gothic noir setting. I'm talking Man-Bat, or Clay Face.

First encounter vs Joker.

For Bruce Wayne to look like this:  https://media.tenor.com/aRgXKeaOEcwAAAAM/robert-pattinson-tenet.gif

Dark Victory be loosely adapted

More fantastical adaptations of famous villans. I've loved the unique takes on Batman in film so far, but making him more realistic and grounded has limited some of the ventures the movies can explore. I would like to see a Clayface who can shape-shift, a Poison Ivy who can control plants, and a Man-Bat who...bats? I would love to see that in the second film!

Robin, Bruce Wayne adopting a more billionaire playboy public persona, Batman and Robin acting as more inspirational for the city rather than terrorizing the criminals, super powered villain such as Clayface, Killer Croc, Man-Bat, Mr Freeze.

Hot leather sex with Catwoman. Hey you asked.

Robin

Harvey Dent, Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, or Black Mask. Hell, maybe all three.

Robin, The Boy Wonder. Dick Grayson version. And NOT as an adult.

I think it would be interesting to see Dick Grayson in a movie NOT as robin, and bruce has to deal with the side effects of hiding his identity while taking care of a kid.

No Robin, no thank you. If Dick is in it, he’s Robin or no dice. I’m tired, TIRED, of movies treating Dick’s legacy as Robin as meaningless. So with respect, no thanks to that idea.

Well I meant maybe it could tease him being robin in part 3, but I definitely see where you are coming from.

Batman

Big action set pieces

I want that fellow with the bat ears

Clayface and a more horror based version of The Scarecrow.

I want to see him him act more like Arkham Bruce. I loved the depressed rookie Batman but I think it’s time to see him beat the shit out of a group of thugs and leave with not even a scratch on him and then go to a banquet and be the billionaire playboy

Bryan Cranston as Mr Freeze

Batarangs

Batman using more gadgets and gizmos. Also, a scene where bruce has a serious conversation with the villain (who won't know of course that bruce is batman)

Extreme weather + holiday. The first one was a rainstorm starting on Halloween, the second should be a heatwave leading to Independence Day and the third should be between Christmas and new year’s during a blizzard.

Not the joker

Professor Pyg. Preferably played by Paul Giamatti.

A smart Joker, not just crazy man doing edgy shit. I want a crazy man who has well thought out plans of chaos. Actually bringing society to his knees, not just "mwehehehe imma kill this person, oh HOW FUN BATSY"

For real, Arkham games did well in that respect, as well as TDK in some respects (His final plan was pretty cunning). This has been said before, but Batman villains are always at their best when they are a mental threat, not physical.

Yea! Both the Ham games and TDK did well to establish all of Joker, but nowadays it seems like everyone just focuses on the Coocoo murder is fun idea.

Mr. Freeze for me. I feel like the city being flooded is the perfect way to set up a grounded Mr. Freeze.

Evolution in the Bruce Wayne character. If he’s just sulking in the shadows again, that’s not interesting. Have him evolve into society a bit and see how that impacts the story, or creates problems. He needs to embrace that persona Also, a better suit

Mr. Freeze. I think a story of a doctor that does experiments on frozen patients with terminal diseases in desperate effort to save his wife would be neat. ... that or Court of Owls.

Mr Freeze, and/or Clayface [I want to see their transformation as well, akin to BTAS for Clayface]

A bit more Bruce Wayne and him learning how to be the Bruce Wayne we all know and love. Otherwise, I’m also hoping for him to be a better detective. In the first movie he was a good detective in the sense that he knew all the answers, but he didn’t know how to get ahead of the villain. He was always multiple steps behind. He needs to solve and get ahead, he needs to show that he’s a more competent detective.

Scarecrow mentally destroys batman.

Batman being a good detective.

Better fight scenes, with a Batman who doesn’t struggle against regular goons

“Struggled” is a big reach. The only time he truly struggled and almost lost was from the very last riddler goon with the shotgun, but he still ended up beating his face in anyway. Getting rarely tagged while getting jumped isn’t struggling. He doesn’t even get hurt, one of the thugs in the subway scene hit his jaw and broke his hand and Batman didn’t even look phased. He’s wreckless and the film is trying to show that. The fight scenes were perfect for a grounded Batman. Raw, brutal and fast. None of that slow stiff stuff Nolan gave us 

😂😂😂

This.

Bruce learning/ trying to be more of a public personality (rich CEO & playboy) Harvey Bullock (or similar character) Power struggle for criminal power, since Falcone is gone. Batman using smoke bombs and more stealth. Mr. Freeze or Clayface would be great.

A tease for Court of Owls to show up for Part 3

That would be awesome

Change the cowl. It looks like some cheap Etsy/Party City Halloween mask yet the rest is clearly some kinda of combat/riot suit. It just doesn’t work with the suit.

 Really? I’d say it’s one of the only cowls in live action along with Afflecks in BvS that don’t look cheap/cosplayer like. The rest are rubber and Bale wears plastic.

It just seems like cheap rubber and leather with skinny ears. Even when he takes it off it’s clearly just rubber. At least with Bale you saw how durable it was with a baseball bat when it cracked or when he head butted Falcone and heard that crunch noise.

Clancy Brown

Letitia Dean as Poison Ivy

The movie ! Aka - move brightness please - I saw shit last time too dark.

I want [this](https://theculturednerd.org/2020/02/battinson-in-all-his-glory-in-amazing-fan-art/amp/) exact Batsuit. Not necessarily the one from the second image, more like the first and third. Only difference in them is the length of the ears. You may look at this and at first glance, not see a difference, but look closer. Everything but the chest armor has been upgraded. I’d like to see him ditch the contact lenses he uses for recording purposes and instead integrate that tech into the cowl, tech that, when activated, gives him the “white eyes” look that everyone is clamoring for and serves as a true “detective vision” like the Arkham games. When he’s not using it, they flip up inside the cowl and you can see his eyes. I also want to see some new form of vehicle for Batman. I’d like to maybe get a tease of Barbara or the Graysons. I also really wanted Deacon Blackfire to be the villain but it’s not going to happen.

Batman

A Batman that can fight better

More. Detective. Work.

This might be a stretch: Batman.

Robin obviously. Also Bruce should start to grow into the personality he’s known for (as an act obviously) and maybe Dick could help him realize that.

Probably not in the cards, but a live-action Deathstroke would be cool (unless that has already happened lol)

A better cowl with smaller mouth area Less armor, more streamlined suit More Bruce Wayne as a rich Playboy persona More detective work A more visible bat symbol, preferably with yellow oval.

I know Bats and the Joker go hand in hand but I want a new villain that we haven't seen before on the big screen. Calendar Man, Professor Pyg, Mad Hatter... Maxie Zeus. I don't care really, just someone to get away from the same rotation.

Harvey Dent

Killer Croc as like a hired muscle but make him a little more human.

Controversial I know but I want to see Batman at least once.

more dark and brutal like the first film

More dark the screen will be black.

With all the AI buzz going on in social media, HARDAC, tbh.

Robin/Dick Grayson It's way past time Dick made a return to the big screen.

Lock-Up would be the perfect villain for this movie

Just Scarecrow please

Not another shitty villian with a fucking army surplus mask


Entertaining storyline and action

A fully integrated stealth sequence where he takes out a room full of armed men arkham predator encounter style. We got a hint he was learning with his third time showing up at the lounge where finally snuck past the twins. Please matt reeves expand on that. We got vengeance now give us the night.

I want to see the movie go r-rated. I felt like Part I kept on censoring the violence. Especially near the end, that one goon who got beaten up by Batman should've had way more blood on this face.

THIS!

Dick Grayson, either becoming Robin at the end or being put on his path to becoming Robin by the end. Have Bruce go to Haly's Circus as a benefit show for flood victims, and then Bruce watches Dick lose his parents the same way he did.

I trust Matt Reeves to give me more of the same from the first movie and I will be absolutely fine with that. I love The Batman and just want more. Maybe a more streamlined costume and cowl, The Joker, and more ass kicking in general. But on the whole…whatever

White Rabbit

I love how OP capitalized the “YOU,” so we can tell this post is different from the hundreds of other posts about Batman II…

A movie that isn’t painfully slow or have a half an hour of unnecessary run time. Also no Joker, he is over used and Batman has so many great villains that have never been in a movie.

The joker

A decent Batman

Are you saying the Batman 1 didn't have a decent batman? If so, I disagree.

He was awful. Staring at the camera with drippy eyeliner is not “brooding” no matter what people say. The only cool thing about this version were the contacts that record everything. Also, you have to EARN the right to diss Alfred, not throw a temper tantrum like a spoiled little emo brat.
