The "Batman" trilogy, a series that disappeared because of Murphy's predecessor, has no related projects to Warner Bros., and the DC superhero movie universe has already started, and this series may never appear again.

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

But recalling the previous "Batman" trilogy, Christopher Nolan made the "Batman" series, and the success of the "Batman" series has limited the entire DC movie universe.

Just like now, after the fiasco of "Batman vs. Superman", many media and critics believe that Murphy made the brilliant start of the DC superhero movie series, but he used his extreme personal style to limit the further spread of the series. The entire series has been deeply imprinted with his personal style from the beginning, and the ultimate success of "Man of Steel" has caused this style to have a profound influence among movie fans, and Warner Bros. dare not give up easily.

These words are biased, but they also make sense.

Because of the movie currently being prepared, it is impossible for Murphy to think carefully about the previous trilogy of "Batman". No one can deny the success of this series and the greatness of "The Dark Knight".

But he believes that after "Batman: Hour of War", Christopher Nolan was going to borrow Batman's name and kick him away before starting to secretly tell his own story, and then directly filmed and produced the "Batman: Hour of War." "Superman Returns" linked with "Batman: Hour of War", and then brought out other people...

Having said that, the comic style of "Batman: Hour of War" is quite adequate, 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 goal step by step. Although Batman's combat effectiveness is still weak, it is still much stronger than the latter two.

But "The Dark Knight" and "The Dark Knight Rises" do not have that comic book feel at all. Batman's strength is greatly reduced. Basically, when it comes to fighting Baine, only flash bombs, smoke bombs, and bat marks are left. Used, and even the great wolfhound raised by the gang fell to the ground in the Dark Knight.

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

Lei Xiaogu didn’t have a hot spring to renew his life; the scarecrow became a weak chicken with a scarecrow gas mask emitting poison gas from his sleeve; the clown was the most successful in portraying, but he was a powerful criminal, far from the comics. A level; Bain does not have any high-tech venom to inject, purely on muscle.

Therefore, it is impossible for this series to link with the DC world at all. It only serves Christopher Nolan, not the DC movie universe. I am afraid Nolan has not considered the so-called DC movie universe, let alone other similar superman or magic. Superhero linkage such as heroines.

Speaking of superhero linkage in the film, this is not created or first used by Marvel. The first used is still Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

There is an important message at the beginning of the 1998 bad movie "Batman and Robin".

The beginning is a scene where Batman and Robin each wear uniforms and take equipment. In front of the camera, there are flashes of Bat Nice Butt, Robin Nice Butt, Bat RT, Robin RT, Bat Big Duck, Robin Big Duck and other equipment, and then The Batmobile rose slowly from below the ground, and then Robin suddenly spoke, but no one thought that the first line of a Batman movie would be so nonsensical: "I want a car like this too. , Chicks like this kind of car.

Batman rolled his eyes and said, "That's why Superman walks all alone."

Although this conversation is full of thunder, it undoubtedly reveals an important message: "There are supermen in this Batman's world, and they know and are familiar enough to make jokes behind them."

In fact, from this line at the time, you can see that Warner Bros. has the intention to link "Superman" and "Batman" series. However, due to the epic rottenness 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 he hid the entire "Batman" series until "Batman: Hour of War" After restarting the entire series, a new Batman movie will be released.

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

According to Murphy’s understanding, at that time Warner Bros. did have its own plan to link Superman and Batman. Unfortunately, the box office and reputation of "Superman Returns" were not very satisfactory. Christopher Nolan strongly opposed the linkage, so he planned Can only be shelved temporarily.

This kind of thing that happened once did not happen at all because of the chain reaction that Murphy appeared, and Warner Bros. and DC Comics took another path.

But after Murphy got in on this road, he stubbornly returned to the original route. Even Zach Schneider took over the guide of "Justice League".

"Will the DC superhero movie series sink?"

On the way home by car together, Gal Gadot discussed this topic with Murphy because of Margot Robbie's relationship, "Couldn't Zach Schneider be able to reverse it?"

Murphy turned around, the off-road vehicle drove out of Century City, and after driving through the road with a lot of vehicles, he answered Gal Gadot, "Yes, just like delegated authority to me, delegated authority to Zach Schneider, fully filmed for him. free."

"It's impossible." Gal Gadot shook his head. "Now there are no more than five directors in Hollywood with the power of you. Zach Schneider is too far behind."

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

Murphy nodded lightly, "A Zach Schneider with his hands and feet **** can't show his strengths."

Gal Gadot asked curiously, "For example?"

"For example, grade." Murphy said directly, "He is more suitable for R grade, not PG-13 grade for teen movies."

As a visual director who likes R-rated films, Zach Schneider is subject to the PG-13 level positioning of mainstream theaters. He can't play cult and he is not allowed to talk. He dare not expand on topic scale and violence scale. His signature is dark. As a result, the wind has become a mere formal gesture, which can only be called a video style and cannot be elevated to a story style. The ugly point is to pretend to be X.

The most regrettable thing is that Zach Schneider’s "Batman vs. Superman" did not make the slightest effort in genre exploration. This is also related to his own visual positioning of the form, whether it is a narrative or an image. .

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

Because the film prepared is equally deep and dark, and like "Batman v Superman", it is playing style, aggressive, and bitter ways. It is more unpleasant than "Batman v Superman". Appearance ratio, but this appearance ratio is not formal, but from the theme to the bone.

In short, what he wants to achieve is by no means the kind of compulsion that is full and formal.

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

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

"Ok."

Murphy nodded and started the car to leave.

Gal Gadot got out of the car and looked around. He didn't find the paparazzi. He walked directly into the coffee shop on the side of the road. Standing near the door and looking around, he didn't see Margot Robbie's. Figure.

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

Ordered a glass of lemonade casually, Gal Gadot went to a corner position and sat down, preparing to wait patiently, and at the same time took out his mobile phone from his handbag, thinking about whether to give Margot Robbie a call. phone.

Just opened the contact list of the phone, and suddenly stretched out his hands to the back, and squeezed Gal Gadot's face lightly. Gael Gadot didn't look back, it just came from the shape of his hand and behind him. In terms of scent, it has been judged who is coming over.

"You are late, Maggie," she said.

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

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

While talking, she pointed to Margot Robbie's clothes and asked, "Why do you wear this one?"

Margot Robbie wore an extremely well-fitting professional suit, which not only highlighted his bumpy figure, but also appeared very smart and capable.

"Don't you think this suits me well?" Margot Robbie said with his arms folded. "When I auditioned, I found out that my professional suit is a perfect combination."

She talked about the audition, and Gal Gadot answered, "To tell you a good news, the crew will contact your agent tomorrow."

"You won't be 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 leaned forward, her gorgeous face approaching Gal Gadot, "You helped me so much, how can I thank you? "
