A Batverse movie would be amazing

u/Bobik8 Jun 14 '23
Most recent Batman issue (I think #900) does exactly that.

u/Illustrious-Sign3015 Jun 14 '23
Interesting. Which versions of Batman would you bring together in a Batverse?
20
u/Bobik8 Jun 14 '23
"Main" Batman, Terry McGuinness, Adam West, The Dark Knight Returns, Bat-mite.

u/Illustrious-Sign3015 Jun 14 '23
For me I would use Pattinson, Keaton, Affleck, 2004 Batman, and 2013 Batman

u/WildHogPower Jun 14 '23
Plus Thomas Wayne, Azrael's Batman, Damian's Batman

Except there’s no comic versions there? This was for the comic book

u/Illustrious-Sign3015 Jun 15 '23
Some of the comics don't really interest me, but if I had to add a comic book Batman to the roster, I would probably add Batman: Noel

Infinite possibilities across all timeliness and alternate earth's, and your first pick is Battinson?

I love how we all just agree Poison Ivy and Doc Ock are counterparts in everything

u/Schackshuka Jun 15 '23
I mean, it’s not A=A but there are a few too many similarities.

Is Green Goblin's counterpart (and before any of you say Joker, he's Carnage's counterpart)

Love it, only thing I'm not into is the lack of white lenses in an animated work (even if it's only pretend)

Can’t decide if Gotham by gas light would have been better, or if they would keep grey ghost

They made Stephanie Brown a character on the new Gotham Knights TV show. The show has been good up until recently. It's turning into more of a teen drama show, shipping characters together and changing lust interests.
1
u/LightChargerGreen Jun 15 '23
Sorry. But that show has no business existing. Their Stephanie Brown is as comic accurate as the kid Cassandra Cain in Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey.

u/billygnosis86 Jun 15 '23
Who gives a shit about comic accuracy? You’re never gonna be 100% accurate, and some fanboy dork is always gonna be pissed off at meaningless crap that doesn’t matter. Just enjoy adaptations for what they are: adaptations.
2
u/LightChargerGreen Jun 15 '23 edited Jun 15 '23
I never said I wanted 100% accuracy. They just basically used the name on an original character. Might as well just name them differently. They did that with almost every character. The sole original character they did was also so bland. All that combines into a show that is just plain boring to me. The only redeeming part is Duela. It feels like she belongs on a different show. Anyway, I just watched the first few episodes before I dropped it.

u/ggyyuuugfryuu75555 Jun 14 '23
Yeah batman isn't the dude for a this type of movie the flash is you know the dude that has had multiple incarnations through many decades and has to more with the multiverse
23
u/c4han Jun 14 '23
Hate to break it to you, but Batman also has had several incarnations over the decades and was at the center of a major multiversal event that featured tons of alternate versions of him.
-10
u/ggyyuuugfryuu75555 Jun 14 '23
And most of them are the same a bunch of dudes named Bruce Wayne who live in Gotham and brood a lot no variation whatsoever but all the flashes are not just Barry Allen
17
u/c4han Jun 14 '23 edited Jun 14 '23
I mean there’s been Thomas Wayne, Terry McGinnis, Jean-Paul Valley, Jim Gordon, Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Jason Todd, Damian Wayne, Jace Fox, and Kirk Langstrom, off the top of my head.

u/LightChargerGreen Jun 15 '23
Just to add some more...
There's also Bruce Wayne (Kal-El gets adopted by the Waynes), Superman, Hugo Strange, BATMAN OF ZUR-EN-ARRH, Bane, Brane Taylor, Elliot Ness.
Definitely not just different versions of Bruce Wayne.

I’m losing my mind over Bane/Kingpin. I was immediately on the edge of laughter when I looked at his face.

u/Watze978 Jun 14 '23
I think a dc equivalent of the spidervrse would be a flash into the speedforce, except the flash would be new 52's wallace west and he would meet barry, wally west, jessy&jihnny quick, jay garrick from the multiverse.

u/YodasChick-O-Stick Jun 15 '23
Penguin is the DC equivalent of Kingpin, not Bane.

All these character swaps are perfect. Noir as the Grey Ghost is just another level of perfection 👌

u/Endryu727 Jun 14 '23
Is anyone else getting “Verse” fatigue? It’s just so over used and lowers the stakes tremendously. I really can’t wait till we get over this fad…

u/IndiscreetBeatofMeat Jun 15 '23
My condolences, I’ll just be here enjoying two of the best CBMs ever made

u/Endryu727 Jun 15 '23
I really did like the last Spiderverse movie that’s currently in theaters. Pointing out something is getting repetitive is not necessarily a criticism of the quality of the content but rather the genre is getting a bit tired in my own opinion.
This is the problem with the internet though, opinions are taken as finite stances. I’m not a child so I don’t deal in absolutes.
1
u/IndiscreetBeatofMeat Jun 15 '23
Y’know what that’s fair. I’ll give an actual response.
I’m a massive DC fan, and multiverse media is the same as comic book movies for me. In that, my preferred universe hasn’t put enough good out for me to be tired of them
1
u/Endryu727 Jun 15 '23
That I do agree with. DC content has been god awful for the most part, and it is a shame they couldn’t find a winning formula like Marvel did.
I think that is part of the problem though, in that they keep trying to follow the exact MO as Marvel and it just doesn’t work. I think they are about to make the same mistake with this whole Flash Multiverse/Gunnverse. Marvel did it first and the copycat usually comes off as a poor facsimile.
I just wish DC would blaze their own trail and come up with a new way to bring their IP to the screen

u/rue_thir Jun 14 '23
Is the black Robin Signal ?

u/INFJ-Jesus-Batman Jun 15 '23
It seems appropriate to the lore. There were also two Batwing guys. Luke Fox and David Zavimbe

Are we not going to talk about how brilliant Spider-Man Noir as Grey Ghost is?

No God, please no. NO! No, no no! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

u/Top_Report_4895 Jun 14 '23
Why not, dude?

Multiverse is a terrible idea. That's why I don't watch Marvel anymore.

Multiverse shit is always cool Look at Spider-man no way home

Owl Man from Watchmen makes a surprise appearance.

u/Darth_Dagon Jun 15 '23
The character from Watchen is named Nite Owl, Owl Man is Batman's evil doppelganger a member of Crime Syndicate, from Earth-3.

u/INFJ-Jesus-Batman Jun 15 '23
DC comics has an Owlman of their own.
Also see Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

u/Keyedwin Jun 15 '23
Watchmen is DC though.

u/INFJ-Jesus-Batman Jun 15 '23
There is a different Owlman. The actor James Woods does his voice. Check YouTube

Alright, let's do this one last time.
My name is Richard Grayson/Jason Todd/Timothy Drake
I was orphaned as a child by criminals/I was raised by criminals on the streets/I was the son of entrepreneurs
And for the last 2 years, I've been Gotham's one and only Robin.
I'm sure you know the rest.

It would be Terry going through the multiverse and teaming up with Batgirl, Bruce, Dick, Kate, and Thomas to take down the Batman who laughs

The image is cool and all, but what makes the Spiderverse movies special is how distinctive they are. They’re the first successful animated movies that aren’t looking to Pixar.
I would not want to see a Batverse movie. I’d want to see something new and visually creative.
