Just found the site today and I gotta say it’s awesome I’ll definitely be checking it out on the reg for all the new batman news.

I mean it’s a obvious idea but I post a few paragraphs on the subject and all of a sudden it is being made? Out of nowhere? If your reading this Warners I want in because you’ll F it up.

How insanely awesome would it be to have a live action HBO Batman series every Sunday night? Not even copy Nolan’s world but maybe use a algamation of all Batman mythos like Arkham Asylum does. I’m sure HBO doesn’t need the ratings or viewers but that would definitely be a hit show. The show would skip over the origins for the most part and flash back on it occasionally. You basically follow the villain scheme from the comics and do some good comic arcs like The Long Halloween could be 1 season, Dark Victory and maybe When In Rome can be another season. The first season would be early runs.

I just think that show can be insanely popular. The production would cost a little money but even if the studio isn’t keen on putting the proper production values to it the show can also be done similar to Sin City. The show would be so great because your not constricted to the story you started say in the first part of a trilogy. You can skip around and have one offs because you also don’t have to do teasers or cliffhangers that often because of the built in audience that wants to see varied stories. So say your first 3 episodes is a condensed Year One, next 2 are The Man Who Laughs, next 2 you do Two Face Year One, and the next 3 are The Dark Knight Returns. Tell me that wouldn’t be the hottest show on television. And it wouldn’t be anything like Smallville, not a thing.

Thoughts, if anyone reads this? How do you think we can get this thing going? I am a writer so I think I might outline the first 2 seasons maybe 24 episodes for each season, 1 hour episodes, 2 hour premiere, 2 hour finale. If WB sees dollar signs and HBO sees massive dollar signs I think they would be into it. Nolan’s franchise is coming to a close and I would say if production starts on it by 2012 you can premiere it a few months after TDKR gets out of theaters to capitalize on the momentum of that film. You also don’t have to step on Nolan’s toes and WB doesn’t have to rush a Batman film because your giving the audience a 26 hour Batman film a year and that alone (think about the tie ins, merchandise, exposure) will bring in 3 times the money 1 film every 4 years would at a fraction of the cost. You don’t even need huge stars to pull it off. That guy Armie Hammer was already cast as Bruce Wayne in that Justice League Crapfest and he sold me in Social Network so I would nab him up for Bruce/Batman. You get a name for Alfred, similar aged talented actor for the Joker…there’s just so many possibilites I’m surprised live action Batman died out with Adam West because even with all the camp the show was still wildly popular and still makes money in syndication and DVDs. Okay I can seriously go on forever with this idea but what do you guys think? No brainer?

I’m all for Catwoman as well, I really hope they use the Adam Hughes version as inspiration. That version is so beautiful. I didn’t think you could get a hotter Catwoman than Michelle Pfeiffer but Hughes version is unbelievable. She’s got a face that is similar to Marion Cotillard and she has a huge chest, that would look so great on film. I would suggest Olivia Wilde but she doesn’t have the bust, same with Cotillard (don’t think she wants to do it anyways or I think Nolan would of cast her already), I really like Romola Garai (http://www.celebs101.com/gallery/Romola_Garai/94935/romola_garai_photo_3.jpg)..

Why doesn’t Nolan make it easy on himself and just photoshop Pfeiffer into TDKR haha.
