BATMAN LEGENDS OF THE DARK KNIGHT
by Renaud Bédard



Why not make this film seriously dark and edgy, a real scary horror type Batman movie at times, a bit like Batman meets Silence of the lambs, meets Seven; a movie that would show the hero truly using his detective skills and helping out Commissioner Gordon with a series of brutal murders possibly by a serial killer. The movie could also show Batman saving the Commissioner's daughter Barbara

- THE BLINK -

Also included in this movie could be an other interesting character known as the Blink introduced in DC Comic Batman Legends of the Dark Knight issue 156 in 2002. His real name is Lee Hyland, a small time thief, and not only he is a freak of nature with no eyes at all, but he also sees through the eyes of those he comes in physical contact with, and while he is physically blind he uses the vision of his dog to guide himself until he accidentally bumps into a serial killer and he is forced to witness his murders and tries to prevent them. And when touching Batman he can also see through his eyes and maybe have a chance to learn of the secret identity, unless someone else bumps into him making him lose contact

- ROBIN & BATGIRL -

In sequels to Batman Begins, the young teenager Richard Grayson would still see as flashbacks his whole family dying and become the only survivor. One night as Batman would be on a mission to find the criminals that did this, he would find on the scene a young costumed and masked kid going by the name of Robin spying on suspects. Later in the evening Robin would feel that someone is watching him, and he would set a trap by leaving his cape hanging and quickly going around only to find himself behind the Batman himself, taking him totally by surprise and throwing him to the ground. Batman would try to regain control of the situation but that little wild ball of fire would cause quite a lot of trouble for him with amazing speed and great agility; and after a few exchanges of words between the two, and Robin warning to stay out of his way, he would disappear into the night leaving Bruce Wayne wondering who that masked kid was. And in the end of that movie an other teen also appear running on rough tops playing superhero as well, but this time a young girl going by the name Batgirl, where the mystery would remain, the end :-)

- THE REAL CATWOMAN -

After the shocking conclusion of Batman return, we could explore farther the life of the real Catwoman Selina Kyle, a woman who a few years ago might have gone through emergency chirurgical procedures on her face after being electrocuted. And now, a few years later, with her memory slowly starting to return she would escape the abusive mental institution to start a new life as a hero defending the innocents and stealing from criminals and thieves

- BROTHERS AND SISTERS -

As a character development, it would be easy to add to the Wayne's history, like was Bruce Wayne a lonely child, or was there a child born before he, one he of she that might not have survived, or let to believe that; and for some reason his or her existence was kept from young Bruce. Maybe even a kidnapping that went wrong, with the kidnapper dying before a ransom could have been written, maybe a brother or a sister Bruce would end up meeting in the future, or might already have unknowingly, someone possibly with a family jewel, maybe a complementary good luck pendant from the mother at the birth, something Bruce could recognize, having seen its other half years ago as a child in his mother's neck
