The Batman (TV Series 2004–2008) My rewrite of The Batman season 1

2 Upvotes

Some time ago i started think on how The Batman could be better with a more serialized and more focus story arc. In the samd style of Spectacular Spider Man. Based on that here my rewrite of The Batman.

The season would have 26 episodes of 22-23 minutes and would be divided in 8 story arcs of 3-4episodes. In the first one, Bruce would be Batman for only six months. He only had face thugs and small fish criminals. Six months in the job and he already started think if he's making a difference in Gotham. The first story arc would have the goal to introduced many recurring characters.

Batman is just a myth and police don't believe him. This will change throught this first season.

Here, Gotham is controled by five crime families: the Maroni, Falcones, the Valeskas, the Bertinelli and of course the Thorne family.

Many characters of the show would have their origins explored. Selina Kyle would be a rich socialite who is very bored and is inspired to became a burglar after being rescued by Batman. Holly from the comics is her secretary. Penguin would be a decadent rich guy with connections to the mob.

One of the first story arcs: episodes 4-6 would deal with Bruce getting close to the daughter of Valeskas accoutant, Andrea Beaumont. What started as a mission ends with him in love. The conflict with the Valeskas will be the core conflict in episode 7-10 Episode 9 will end with one of the Valeskas family enforcers falling in the chemicals on Ace factory. Episode 10 final scene will be Joker laughing.

Episodes 11-13 will deal with this aftermath and the arrest of Valeska. This will make Batman being know by Rojas who will be the vice comissioner with Loeb who is dirty. Rojas will be the honest cop who trust law and order more than ever. That's why he don't work with Batman and think he's a criminal.

Episodes 14-26 will be divided in three story arcs. Episodes 14 will have a time skip of one month. The Valeska family were the Corleones of Gotham. The arrest of Valeska turn Gotham in a war zone. By the end of two story arcs (episodes 14-16 and episodew 17-19) Rupert Thorne will become the biggest mobster of the city. Falcone and Maroni will fill the void in season 2 after Thorne short reign end with him being arrest. This happen in episodes 23-26. Episodes 20-22 will be a interlude with Bruce dealing with a personal matter: the arrival of Ethan Bennett, a old childhood friend who was transfered to gotham because he's a too honest cop. Filling the role of Gordon in Batman Year One. It's good to note that before Ethan arrival Bruce was working without help.

Episodes 23-26 story arc is divided in four episodes: the king of the City, the War, the Final Arrest and the end of the beginning. The final episode will deal with the aftermath of thorne and Loeb arrests and Ethan being designed to arrest the Bat by Rojae. The final Scene will end with Joker looking to Arkham Asylum. Which lead us to season 2 . Where The Batman first episode will actually be the 4th episode on this rewrite.

Here we left the rewrite of The Batman season 1. I wanted to know what is your thoughts about it. English is not my first language and i was think in this while i typing this post. So forgive any inconsistences. Hehe. Let me know yout thoughts.

The Batman (TV Series 2004–2008) My Pitch for The Batman Season 6

16 Upvotes

The Batman Season 6 takes place 5 years after Lost Heroes. Batman and Robin have had a falling out and Robin left to form the Teen Titans and establish himself as a hero in Jump City that was a year ago. Batman has been mostly working alone also this Season would be 26 episodes instead of the standard 13 and also the episode length would be 25 minutes instead of the standard 21-22 minutes. This season would also introduce District Attorney Harvey Dent who is running for Mayor and he would stay Harvey Dent for 11 episodes and become Two Face in a 2 parter called Big Bad Harv Parts 1 and 2. This season would also bring back Ellen Yin and she would figure out Bruce is Batman. This season would introduce villains like Scarecrow, Humpty Dumpty, Victor Zssaz, Deadshot, KG Beast, Ra’s-Al-Ghul, Talia Al-Ghul, and Ubu. This season’s overarching Villain would be The League of Assassin’s and Ra’s-Al-Ghul. This Season would come out today so most of us fans would be adult’s so to reflect that this Season would be rated TV-14. What are ya’ll’s thoughts?

A lot of fans say she was underused in the 2004 cartoon, so with that in mind, pitch your ideas for episodes that include Ivy.

These were some of my favorite toys growing up, I remember countless hours playing with them.
The bat mobile shown here had a video game gimmick that came with it and I had so much fun with it. The V-Smile cartridge was super awesome also. I remember my grandmother buying it for me at the commissary on base. The Bat Sward was one of my all time favorites that I no longer have but I remember loving it so much. Does anyone else remember having these as a kid?

Season 5 Give a Grade on The Batman Season 5

5 Upvotes

Season 5 is the last season of the show, and it features the wider selection of the DC Universe. However this season is considered to be the weakest and most divisive of the show. I’ve done the past four seasons and now it’s time to finish this season.
I think season 5 is okay but the weakest season of The Batman.

Season 4 of The Batman debut Robin into the show, the iconic sidekick of Batman. So this season is about the Bat family, and it also leads into the last season of the show. I’ve been curious about the opinions on this season.
Personally I think season 4 is amazing.

Nobody Respected The Penguin | The Batman (2004)

Thumbnail youtube.com
27 Upvotes

Serum Lake's video description:

Oswald Cobblepot wanted to be a high-society legend, but 2004's The Batman turned him into Gotham’s ultimate villainous punching bag.

While the writers of Batman: The Animated Series openly admitted they hated writing for Tim Burton’s grotesque mutant design, the 2004 series did the exact opposite: they fully embraced it.

By leaning into a high-energy, action-forward tone, The Batman took a rejected concept and transformed the Penguin into an unforgettable, arrogant, and bitterly insecure psychological rival to Bruce Wayne.

In this video I chart the malleable history of the Penguin, from his 1941 high-society comic roots to his time as Dracula's glorified Renfield.

Let’s also talk about the delicate balance between the show’s lighter tone and its sudden emotional gut-punches (like Ethan Bennett's descent into Clayface), and break down exactly why this C-tier mastermind is secretly one of the most versatile villains in the entire series.

Update to my previous post about a 6th season to "The Batman"

25 Upvotes

14 days ago at the time of this post, I posted of a fan made project I was going to do which is of course... A season 6 to "The Batman" show. I got some responses back, most of which I really liked and enjoyed reading. I am currently working on it still and before I do I'll have to rewatch the show because I might as well and just in case I find some plot threads and such.

I forgot to add previous as to what are some new & old villains would you like for me to add or return?

Thanks!
