Later this calendar month , we ’ll see Batman v. Superman , generally based on Frank Miller ’s Batman comedian . But we almost make a Batman motion-picture show from Miller and Darren Aronofsky , free-base on Batman : Year One . In aninterviewwith the Hollywood Reporter , Miller explained what that looked like , and it was very , very strange .
Miller says that his Batman project with Darren Aronofsky was troubled , since Miller ’s Batman was “ too squeamish ” for Aronofsky . That boggle the fucking mind . Miller seemingly had to say to him , “ Batman would n’t do that , he would n’t torture anybody . ” Which means that Aronofsky ’s Batman and Zack Snyder ’s Superman would probably actually get along .
Once the two Creator did get on the same Sir Frederick Handley Page , their Batman script had an interesting gimmick :
The Batmobile was just a tricked - out car . And Batman turned his back on his fortune to live a street life so he could know what the great unwashed were going through . He built his own Batcave in an abandon part of the subway . And he created Batman out of whole cloth to fight crime and a crooked police force .
Raise your manus if you ’re distressing we never got to see stateless Bruce Wayne build up a Batcave with his own two mitt .
Miller also explicate that he engender really into Batman after he was mug at point . He says there ’s something mortifying about being at someone else ’s mercy like that , and it was how he understand “ that Batman was the most strong symbol DC had in its bridge player ” because “ Batman turns me back into that guy wire who is scared , and at the same time the guy who can come and save him . It ’s a arrant myth . ”
And then . Well , this happens :
Some have said you turn Batman into a fascist . Agree ?
Anybody who recall Batman was fascistic should canvas their politics . The Dark Knight , if anything , would be a libertarian . The fascist tell people how to subsist . Batman just tells outlaw to arrest .
Batman ’s a libertarian ! Of naturally , it all makes sense now . He ’s well known for his hate of the national debt and sexual love of stool . Get the regime out of multitude ’s lives , says Bruce Wayne . As he assail criminals , dressed as a elephantine bat .
I ’m go to have to niggle too with the theme that Batman “ just say criminals to arrest . ” Again , he dress as a jumbo bat and hunt them down . He does n’t just say them to stop over and , if they do n’t , just shrug and walk out . Also , not to say anything positive about fascist — but they are also mostly against crime . They just have much more expansive definition of “ criminal , ” and “ order them to block . ”
Miller is also brutally honest about his attempts at movie devising , peculiarly the RoboCop sequels he wrote — which he says deserved to fail because they were forged . But also The Spirit , which he wrote and aim . He wishes he ’d done better , which is nice .
