The "Batman" trilogy, a series that disappeared because of Murphy's predecessor, until now Warner Bros. has no related projects, and the DC superhero movie universe has been launched, this series is likely to never appear again.

A long time ago, Murphy had the idea of ​​this trilogy, but was rejected by Warner Bros. After being rejected, he also gave up this series, because the copyright was completely in the hands of Warner Bros. and DC Comics. In the case of the realistic "Batman" trilogy, copyright is an obstacle that cannot be overcome.

But looking back on the previous "Batman" trilogy, Christopher Nolan has achieved the "Batman" series, and the success of the "Batman" series has limited the entire DC movie universe.

Just like the disastrous failure of "Batman v Superman", many media and critics believe that Murphy has achieved a brilliant start in the DC superhero movie series, but he has limited the further spread of the series with his extreme personal style. The entire series has been deeply imprinted with his personal style from the beginning, and the extreme success of "Man of Steel" has caused this style to have a profound impact on movie fans, and Warner Bros. dare not give up easily.

These words are biased, but they also have some truth.

Because of the movie being prepared now, it is impossible for Murphy not to think carefully about the previous "Batman" trilogy. No one can deny the success of this series and the greatness of "The Dark Knight".

But he believes that after "Batman: Beginning of War", Christopher Nolan was going to borrow Batman's name and start smuggling and telling his own story before kicking him away, and then directly in the same period. Superman Returns is linked with Batman: Begins, and then leads to others...

Having said that, the sense of comics in "Batman: Beginning of War" is quite enough. It was born out of the comic "First Year", focusing on Bruce Wayne's mental journey from the death of his parents to his determination to become Batman. Build equipment, hone your skills step by step, and approach your goals step by step. Although the combat power of Batman in it is still weak, it is still much stronger than the latter two.

But "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises" don't have that kind of comic feeling at all. Batman's strength is greatly weakened. Basically, when it comes to fighting Bane, only flash bombs, smoke bombs, and bat marks are left. Use it, and in the Dark Knight, it was even brought to the ground by the big wolfhound raised by the gangster.

In order to pursue a sense of realism, Christopher Nolan successfully erased all the sense of mythology, epic, and technology that the DC universe should have.

Lei Xiaogu did not soak in hot springs to continue his life; the scarecrow became a weak chicken wearing a scarecrow gas mask and shooting poisonous gas from his sleeve; the clown was the most successful, but he was still a powerful criminal, far from the man in the comics. This level; Bane also does not have any high-tech venom to inject, purely relying on muscles.

Therefore, it is impossible for this series to be linked with the world of DC. It only serves Christopher Nolan, not the DC movie universe. I am afraid that Nolan has not considered the so-called DC movie universe, and it is even more impossible to link it with other similar Superman or Marvel movies. Superhero linkage such as Heroine.

When it comes to the linkage of superheroes in the film, this is not created or first used by Marvel. The first ones are still Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

The beginning of the 1998 blockbuster Batman \u0026 Robin has an important message.

At the beginning, there is a scene where Batman and Robin wear their uniforms and take out their equipment. The camera flashes in front of the camera sequentially, such as Bat Bottom, Robin Bottom, Bat rt, Robin rt, Bat Big Diao, Robin Big Diao, etc., and then The Batmobile slowly rose from the ground, and then Robin suddenly spoke, but no one expected the first line of a Batman movie to be so nonsensical: "I want one of these cars too , the chicks love this car.

Batman rolled his eyes and said, "That's why Superman is a loner.

"

Although this conversation was full of thunder, it undoubtedly revealed an important message: "There are supermen in this Batman world, and they know each other, and they are familiar enough to joke with each other behind their backs."

In fact, from the line at the time, it can be seen that Warner Bros. wanted to link the "Superman" and "Batman" series, but due to the epic badness of "Batman and Robin", the reputation of this film and The box office went to the 18th floor of hell, and the director became the most hated person in the hearts of countless Batman fans. In addition, Warner Bros. was so frightened that they hid the entire "Batman" series until "Batman: Beginning of War" Only when the entire series is restarted can a new Batman movie come out.

Not only "Batman and Robin", the city of Gotham, where Batman is located, was mentioned in "The Return of Superman" released in 2006. After Superman returned to the earth, he was active all over the world, and it was mentioned in overwhelming news reports Many cities, including Gotham City, which is the city where Bruce Wayne lives.

According to what Murphy once knew, Warner Bros. at that time did have its own plan to link Superman and Batman. Unfortunately, the box office and word-of-mouth of "Superman Returns" were not very satisfactory. Christopher Nolan strongly opposed the linkage, so he planned It can only be put on hold temporarily.

What happened before, because of the chain reaction of Murphy's appearance, did not happen at all, and Warner Bros. and DC Comics took another path.

But after Murphy stepped in, he stubbornly returned to the original route. Even Zach Snyder took over the guide of "Justice League".

"Will the DC superhero movie series sink here?"

On the way home together in the car, Gal Gadot discussed this topic with Murphy because of Margot Robbie's relationship, "Could Zach Snyder be unable to reverse it?"

Murphy turned around, and the off-road vehicle drove out of Century City. After driving through the road with many cars, he replied to Gal Gadot, "Yes, just like giving me the power, give it to Zach Schneider, and give him enough to shoot. free."

"It's simply impossible." Gal Gadot shook his head, "There are no more than five directors in Hollywood who have your power, and Zack Snyder is too far behind."

She thought for a moment, "I think the next Warner Bros. movie will limit his powers."

Murphy nodded slightly, "A Zack Schneider who is bound hands and feet cannot play to his strengths."

Gal Gadot asked curiously, "For example?"

"For example, the rating." Murphy said directly, "He is more suitable for the R rating, not the pg-13 rating for teen movies."

As a visual department director who likes R-rated films, Zack Schneider is constrained by the pg-13 level positioning of mainstream theaters. He can’t play cult and doesn’t allow hard words. He dare not expand the scale of topics and violence. His signature is dark As a result, the wind has turned into a formal posing, which can only be called a video style and cannot be elevated to a story style. To put it bluntly, it is pretending.

It is a pity that Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman" did not make the slightest effort in genre exploration, which is also related to his own visual system positioning that emphasizes form—whether it is narrative form or video form. .

Murphy is very clear that after thinking so much, the most important thing is to remind himself that he must avoid these mistakes made by Zack Snyder.

Because the movie in preparation is also deep and dark, just like "Batman v Superman", playing with style, aggressive style, and taking the path of bitterness and bitterness. To put it bluntly, it is more intense than "Batman v Superman". Costume ratio, but this kind of costume ratio is not in the form, but from the theme to the heart.

In short, what he wants to achieve is definitely not the kind of compulsion that is only full and mere formality.

When the car entered Beverly Hills, Murphy did not go directly back to the Wave Manor, but came to Rodell Street and put down Gal Gadot.

"I won't go back for dinner." Gal Gadot opened the door and got out of the car, and at the same time said to Murphy, "You can eat by yourself. I will go shopping with Maggie and go back later."

"Ok."

Murphy nodded, started the car and left.

Gal Gadot got out of the car, looked around, found no paparazzi, went straight into the roadside coffee shop, stood near the door and looked around, but didn't see Margot Robbie's figure.

"This guy." She raised her hand and looked at her watch, "It looks like I'm going to be late again."

After casually ordering a glass of lemonade, Gal Gadot walked to a corner and sat down, preparing to wait patiently. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone from his handbag and considered whether to call Margot Robbie. Telephone.

Just after opening the phone's contact directory, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind and pinched Gal Gadot's face lightly. Gal Gadot didn't look back, it was just passed from the hands and behind In terms of fragrance, it has already been judged who came over.

"You're late, Maggie," she said.

"I've been here a long time ago." Margot Robbie turned around from behind and sat opposite Gal Gadot, "I just went to the bathroom."

Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "No wonder I didn't see you."

While speaking, she pointed to the clothes on Margot Robbie and asked, "Why are you wearing such a suit?"

Margot Robbie wore a well-fitting professional suit, which not only highlighted her curvy figure, but also looked very smart and capable.

"Don't you think this suits me well?" Margot Robbie said, crossing her arms, "During the audition, I found out that I was a perfect combination with the professional suit."

When she talked about the audition, Gal Gadot said, "I have good news for you. The crew will contact your agent tomorrow."

"Wouldn't you be the one in charge of the negotiation?" Margot Robbie asked curiously.

"Of course not." Gal Gadot shrugged, "I want to avoid it."

"Oh..." Margot Robbie's voice dragged on for a long time, and then she leaned forward, her gorgeous face approaching Gal Gadot, "You have helped me so much, how can I thank you? "(To be continued.)
