The first season of Batman was much more serious, and that is part of my basis for Batman 1969. I'm looking forward to your concept, Catfan, but having Batman dance at a disco and get drunk in the pilot episode is a very, very sad level of seriousness. :|
Actually, Batman was doped in the pilot episode, so that The Riddler could abduct Robin. The pilot was taken from the May 1965 issue of Batman (the comic). But I do understand your point. As much as I enjoyed the series as a kid, its overall appeal has paled greatly in the past few years.
Thank you for your compliment, Caleson!! I also look forward to this undertaking!

Here's my take on the subject. While I do love that they are making good batman films, It would be nice to see the bat on the small screen.
But I don't think doing an ongoing serise on Batman would workout to anyone's satisfaction. I mean if we want to see the ongoing adventures of Batman, well, we have the comics, and they are always going to be better then any tv show. they just are becasue there are a lot of things you can do story wise that you can't do on tv.
Plus, I fear that on a long enough timeline that people would make that show really campy regardless if it was set up to be that or not. Now while I would be okay with a tv show that started out campy (i.e. I wouldn't watch it.), I couldn't handle seeing them take a dark version of Batman and slowly turn him into a joke. I already did that once with the first set of bat-films, and I can't do that again.
But I'd still like to see them do more and diffrent projects with Batman, and that means that they'd have to go to TV becasue they are already locked into a story-line with the new films.
So my suggestion wouldn't be to do an ongoing serise just on the "modern" batman, but to do a mini-serise of one of his larger story-lines. I'm thinking No Man's Land. You could do it as three, two hour long films that would play over three nights. Kind of like what they did with the new Battlestar Galatica. Only longer... and you know... with batman.
I guess this just comes from my insane desire to see "no man's land" in film. When I first read it, I thought, "This this is a movie. it just doesn't move." But I know that hollywood will never Okay it as a feature film, and I really can't blame them. It's way too complicated a story, and you could never work all the back story you would need to get the thing to fuction correctly within a "normal" two hour hollywood feature.
But you can get away with more with Television and technology has progressed to the point where you could do it on a buget and still make it look good. |
