Welcome back everyone, it's Charlie
They're finally working on the Batman 2 again
And there's a new report
that Hush is going to be the main villain, or at least one of the major villains.
There were a couple of Easter eggs in the first movie directly calling out,
and they borrowed a lot of the storyline for Riddler.
So there were a lot of people that just assumed
they would eventually do the character.
there were so many rumors that even Matt Reeves came out and actually specifically
talked about the host character.
There have also been a few reports
about some of the other major characters and villains are doing.
I know there's a bunch of questions about this, too,
because if you're a long time host fan from the comics,
they kind of did most of that storyline for the Riddler character
Remember, though, this is all meant to be separate
from what's happening with James Gunn's rebooted DCU,
his Batman brave in the board movie, a totally different version of Batman
and everybody still pulling for Jensen Ackles to be the DCU version of Batman.
that Batman will be the one that's connected to the new Justice League.
The overarching stories not the Matt Reeves, Robert Pattinson Batman.
So don't worry we'll break it all down.
It's not quite as confusing as it sounds.
If you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos.
There's a bunch of big stuff coming up.
Like I said, the writers strike is over.
The actors strike might be done pretty soon.
Hopefully they'll figure that out
then we'll start getting way more announcements
about a lot of these big movies coming out,
not just the DC movies, but just like all movies in general.
but a lot of you
probably seen the big talk about Batman hush in your fees recently.
Hush is probably
one of the biggest most popular Batman villains from recent history
that they haven't really done the live action movies yet.
there've been a couple versions of the characters
in the animated movies, in the TV shows,
like there was the Batman Hush animated movie,
but that changed the original ending
from the original Batman Hush comic book storyline.
It was a little controversial.
I wasn't a huge fan of the changes,
But generally the animated DC movies have been pretty solid on average.
they also did a version of Hush on the Batwoman TV show in the Arrowverse,
like on the CW network.
I didn't watch the vast majority of the Batwoman show
and they made a few changes to the host
character, but their version of Hush was a little bit
closer to the original comic book version,
that one was depicted as a former childhood friend of Bruce Wayne's,
who became a real estate mogul with a grudge the harbored against him.
he had the surgery to change his face to look exactly like Bruce Wayne.
And then like the comic book version,
he went about systematically trying to destroy
Bruce Wayne's life, take his company, and destroy his life as Batman.
The funny thing about that
version is he was actually more famous for being the closest.
We actually got to seeing Bruce Wayne Batman's face in the arrow
versus the actual arrow version of Batman that they kept talking about for years.
But we never actually saw Stephen Amell.
And a lot of the other actors say that Jensen Ackles for like a hot second,
almost became that live action
version of Batman like he wanted it to be Jensen Ackles.
But for whatever reason it just didn't work out like the powers that be.
The regime at Warner Brothers wouldn't allow them
to actually do live action Batman the way that they wanted to in the arrowverse.
So you can watch that Batwoman version of Hush at Your Own Risk.
And there was a lesser version that the Gotham TV show did.
He was Thomas Elliot,
but we never saw him become hush is an adult later in the timeline
because that show was all about Bruce Wayne
before he became Batman when he was a kid.
And they did the Smallville thing where he only puts on the Batman suit
in the very last episode
after a time jump like Smallville literally did that exact same thing.
Matt Reeves has an interesting connection that goes way back with the whoosh
character just in general to the original comic book version in real life.
Matt Reeves, screenwriting teacher, when he was in college, was Jeph Loeb,
the person who wrote Batman Hush.
He also wrote The Long Halloween in a lot of the first Batman
movie was inspired by the long Halloween.
So the Easter eggs have come full circle.
normally, you would expect Jeph Loeb to have some sort of cameo scene
in the movie at that point, but I don't think there was.
If you did think you spotted Jeph Loeb somewhere in the movie,
let me know the whoosh
storyline that they gave to the Riddler in the first movie was his whole backstory.
Growing up alongside Bruce Wayne in the orphanage funded by Thomas
and Martha Wayne.
Like you see, the Riddler is a little kid here next to Bruce Wayne.
It's a little kid.
in the idea and Matt Reeves Batman movies is that Tom is in Martha
Wayne turned the old Wayne Manor house into an orphanage
back when Bruce Wayne was young in the Riddler just came to live there.
then they explain as part of the whole plot
with the Wayne Fun during the movie
Falcone and the Mob then turning the fund into their own personal piggy bank.
The crime families in Gotham, because of that.
And Thomas Wayne's murder, the orphanage lost its funding.
The children were all forgotten, including the Riddler,
who lived a terrible life,
causing him to develop a grudge against the Wayne family
and all the other powerful families in Gotham.
Once he became an accountant for the Wayne Fund.
Learning what pretty much all the powerful people in Gotham were doing
because they were connected to the fun. Not just the Wayne family.
Like he hated the Wayne family
because of what they did to him as a child or what he thought that they did to him.
but in the movie, they turn into a much larger thing where his grudge was against
all the people in power in Gotham, not just the Wayne's.
then during the movie, the reporter that Falcone kills for Thomas Wayne
to prevent him
from leaking information about Martha Wayne's mental illness was named Elliot.
And during the Riddler's viral video he made for Thomas Wayne
across the screen, it literally writes the word hush So pretty much
everybody was like he's obviously referencing the storyline later.
During Batman's conversation with the Riddler in Arkham Batman, things
just for Hot second.
The Riddler has learned
his secret identity is going to out him making himself famous.
Riddler keeps repeating Bruce Wayne's name in a weird way,
but just as Batman thinks it's all over.
No more Batman.
After this river reveals that he's just lamenting the
he and Batman were almost able to kill Bruce Wayne.
So they almost had him, like the Riddler almost figured out that he was Batman.
in in the
original storyline in the comics, Riddler is largely to blame for the events
of the entire storyline in the damage he's able to do.
The Riddler had terminal cancer.
He uses the Lazarus Pit to heal himself in the effects of the Lazarus Pit
caused him to deduce that Batman's true identity is Bruce Wayne.
So when the comic book version, he did figure out the truth.
comic book
Riddler goes about orchestrating a plot to take him down by using Thomas Elliot,
Bruce Wayne's childhood friend who still harbors
a grudge against him for the downfall of his own family.
and because Tom, as Elliot's mother, is suffering from a terminal illness,
the Riddler uses the knowledge that the Lazarus Pit in healing her
to get Thomas Elliott on his side.
And they go about systematically
trying to destroy Bruce Wayne's life in public, in his life as Batman at night.
so even though the host character
figured out that it was Bruce Wayne and went about trying to destroy his life,
really it was the Riddler pulling the strings.
But because there were so many Easter eggs during the first Batman movie.
Matt Rees later clarified that that reporter that was killed named
Elliott was not literally meant to be his version of the Thomas
Elliott Hush character.
Just a wink at the whole storyline.
and because that reporter is dead in present day,
If he were actually the host character, they wouldn't be able to use hush
in future movies if they killed him offscreen in the side story.
So it would have been a big bummer. no.
At the time that he was talking about this is a couple of years ago,
you have to remember,
he says it would be cool to do the character in a future storyline.
So it makes sense now a couple of years later
that they would choose to introduce the host character in a much bigger way.
Let me know in the comments if they do.
The host character in the Matt Reeves Batman sequels,
how do you want them to adapt the character
if they already gave a lot of that storyline,
a lot of the vibes of that storyline to the Riddler character in the first movie,
and remember one of the differences
between the Matt Reeves version of Batman like the Robert Pattinson Batman
in James Gunn's new DCU version of Batman and Batman Braving the boat
is that Matt Reeves take is meant to be way more down to earth, way
more realistic in the Christopher Nolan kind of way.
like imagine a much more comic booky
version of Christopher Nolan's real world vibes of Batman.
James Gunn's version of Batman.
Batman braving the ball will be like the way more over-the-top, way
more comic book version of Batman for example.
They're doing Damian Wayne in the movie.
You can't get more comic books than doing Damian Wayne,
There been a couple reports about other major characters
that they might be introducing in that Batman too.
In the Batman sequel movies.
but most theories right now in Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson
have definitely thrown some fire on this.
Gasoline So a lot of people at the time thought that an implied that Mr.
Freeze would be the main
villain Matt Reeves just said even the idea of something like Mr.
Freeze. Such a great story, right?
So a lot of people were like, Wait a minute,
does that mean he's actually doing Mr. Freeze in the sequel?
The monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish
best served cold and The other big news is that Matt Reeves is supposed
to introduce Clay Baze during the movie, but he's not going to be the main villain.
Most people think that he's going to be a version
of the original Clayface, the Golden Age version.
The character called Basil Carlo.
not the shapeshifting metahuman. Clayface.
Matthew Hagen.
That's who most people think of when they think of Clayface.
the reason why everyone's expecting the original Clayface is
just because he's more of a real world down to earth, kind of Clayface.
And that's the whole vibe of the Matt Reeves Batman universe.
so far, we haven't seen any actual metahumans in the world of the Batman yet.
So everything's been tech based, at least so far.
The Basil Carlo Clayface was based on real life, Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone.
Carlo was meant to be a B-list actor driven, insane
when he hears that they're remaking his classic horror film without him.
during that movie, he played the villain who is called Clayface,
and he puts that costume back on again, killing all the actors who are
in the remake in the order that they got killed in the original movie.
then eventually Batman and Robin are able to stop him.
and when we get to the Batman three, we might even get the Court of Owls
as the main overarching villains, which they've done in the animated movies.
They did them on the Gotham TV show, but they haven't been done
in any of the live action movies yet in the cast.
We're hyping them up.
After the last Batman movie came out,
there were a lot of Easter eggs and references to the Court of Owls
during the first movie.
That's why the actors were talking about it, like, yes,
there was a lot of court of appeals in there.
Thomas and Martha were leaders of the Court of Owls in this timeline.
Like that one.
Oh, that's of
I was definitely kind of thinking it's probably going to be in the sequel.
It definitely seems nice. Mommy, I'm not sure.
Just guessing, I guess.
Keep saying good thing it's not in this film.
Or is it?
Or is Most of you probably seen some Robin talk in your feeds recently.
I know everyone's been fan casting.
Timothee Chalamet is a version of Robin.
He did talk about being Robin a while ago.
after seeing him in Dune, he could actually do a pretty bad as Robin.
But the thing is, though, the report is that during the Batman to Matt Reeves
is going to introduce a version of Dick Grayson who is only 13 years old.
Zack Snyder did introduce a version of Robin during Batman versus Superman.
But it was Dick Grayson, and he was killed before the events of the movie.
So this new version of Robin that we're going to see
will be the first living version that we've seen in the movies since Batman
and Robin with Chris O'Donnell's Robin in George Clooney's Batman,
who we also just saw at the end of the Flash movie
I'll do more videos for the Batman too, and the other upcoming DC movies.

Thank you so much for watching.
Everyone stay safe and I'll see you guys in the next one!
