Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new batman video for
the teaser that they just released for the brand new project called batman
unburied that's coming next year that's right there are so many batman
things happening next year between all the movies and the new projects so we'll
break it down explain what's going on with this if you're new to the channel
be sure to subscribe to get all the videos we'll do a new amazon giveaway
all you have to do to enter is be a subscriber and let me know which new
batman project you're most excited about next year
so just starting with the big stuff first number five if you didn't see the
news dc just announced a brand new batman project for 2021 in addition
to the batman movie with robert pattinson the new ben affleck stuff that
they're doing in justice league snyder cut
the flash movie in the batman the long halloween movie that they're also
releasing next year that is a whole lot of batman
this new batman project will be called batman
unburied and it's actually david goyer coming back who wrote on the christian
bale dark knight trilogy of batman movies
coming back to write and executive produce it they're saying that it's
being done as one of dc's new premium partnerships between warner brothers and
spotify so it'll be released on spotify presumably some point during 2021 they
didn't say when exactly the early part of the year or the end of the year
most of the batman projects the batman movies that are coming out between
batman the long halloween and the robber pattinson batman movie are coming out
towards the end of next year he didn't completely give away what the
story is going to be but he did say that they'll be using their unique advantages
to dig into the more nightmarish members of batman's rogues gallery
so i'll explain which villains they're probably talking about in a second
the series is supposed to explore the darker aspects of bruce wayne's
psychology that might sound familiar for those of you that have read some of the
more hardcore classic batman stories so whereas the
batman movie with robert pattinson is meant to be more of a noir detective
thriller take on the character this new batman unburied project will be
more of a psychological horror batman story
i feel like batman and horror go really well together since he trades so much on
the tropes of horror stories for his movies and pursuit of justice every
night when they're talking about digging into
the more nightmarish batman villains they're talking about people like mad
hatter scarecrow man bat professor pig of
course the joker always makes those lists you can't make a list about
horrific batman villains without talking about the joker
do you want to tell it to me
number four they're saying this batman unburied project isn't a one-off either
it's meant to be the first of many new premium narrative projects like this so
if you like this type of thing they might be doing more special batman
stories and other major characters eventually
the reason they're starting with new batman stuff is because next year is the
year of batman between all the different live-action movies and animated movies
that are coming out cue all the batman memes how much batman
do you want yes the other big batman movie that's
coming out next year in addition to the robert pattinson batman movie
is the long halloween movie it's actually going to be two parts but both
part one and part two will be released during next year so you don't have to
wait too long to get that part two after seeing the first half
the reason they're doing it in two parts is just to give them the space they need
to tell a more comic book accurate version of the long halloween because
it's a really big story and even though the robert pattinson
batman movie is borrowing some aspects of the long halloween story
matt reeves is doing an original story so the plot will be very different the
characters will be very different as you've seen from some of the trailer
footage like a combination of seven from david
fincher and batman the long halloween one of the reasons why they typically
don't do straight up rips of comic book story plots for live action movies is
just because they like to give you something that you haven't already
seen so the comics don't wind up being huge spoilers for the endings of the
movies most of the time and because they sign
these bigger directors like christopher nolan or matt reeves
they usually want them to redefine the way that everyone thinks about batman as
a character and the batman movies in general
so cue all the footage of george clooney batman then cut to the scene of
christopher nolan meeting with warner brothers before
making the dark knight trilogy you could just see them asking him
please make batman cool again do whatever you want to with the
character within reason i spoke to them a lot about what i was
trying to achieve with bruce wayne when it comes to batman
i had no idea what i was looking for in truth
because you you simply don't know how the actor is then going to
put this very fanciful costume on and make this guy
believable in that world all i could do was really give them
ideas on the logic behind aspects of the costume the idea that it's
meant to terrify and threaten criminals in fact when christopher nolan said that
he signed on for the dark knight trilogy he actually said that he told warner
brothers please while i'm doing this re-envisioning this version of batman
don't start doing a bunch of other versions of batman on any of the tv
shows or any other places that's one of the
main reasons why you never saw batman on tv during the smallville era
of tv shows when they were doing superman stuff or during any of the
subsequent tv shows they kind of did a version of batman on
the gotham tv show but not really it was a really work around version of a batman
character obviously that era has kind of changed
now because we have the batman hbo series that's going to be a spin-off of
the batman movie with robert pattinson so we don't really know how they're
going to invoke batman during that yet but now in this new era of streaming big
budget dc shows we're going to see a lot more big
movie level content coming in tv form the justice league snyder cut is
probably the best example that because it's a movie but they're kind of
releasing it like a tv show number three just to be clear though the
batman unburied project isn't supposed to be connected to matt reeves the
batman movie or any of those sequels and it's not meant to be connected to the
justice league snyder cut the ben affleck batman stuff
anything like that they're treating it a little bit more like the joker movie
with joaquin phoenix the dc black label stuff in that it's a much
more hardcore take on the character than you've seen in the movie so far
and it's kind of in a separate universe for the most part just treat it like
it's in its own continuity so you won't have to watch every single
batman thing that's going on next year just to understand what the story is of
this new project but if things go well with it i think
they probably intend to do sequels with the same cast coming back
the same way that they keep bringing kevin conroy back as batman in new
animated movies all the time because he was so great as batman and everyone
loves him so much this was a clip of him talking about
finally getting to play live-action batman during crisis on infinite earths
oh i never thought i'd get a chance to do it on camera because i was getting
older and older and older i was sort of aging out of batman you know
but luckily i aged into old bruce wayne that was kind of them doing a version of
kingdom come batman because of that harness
combined with some batman beyond easter eggs thrown in the earth that his batman
was from was earth 99 which is a reference to the
year batman beyond started airing in 1999.
i know about all the rumors of michael keaton live action batman beyond movies
happening at some point i'll do more videos about that if we get
any kind of confirmation because it would be a dream come true to see
live action batman beyond number two you may also remember a little while ago
marvel tried a similar project like this with the wolverine character
no joke marvel did a wolverine solo series in the last couple of years
it wasn't on spotify and i don't think it got a lot of promotion
just because it was a different actor playing the wolverine character
it was also happening while hugh jackman was still wolverine
they hadn't quite released the logan movie yet so they were still tail end
hugh jackman era wolverine and i think that marvel and fox wanted most of the
attention on that so the wolverine solo series
didn't get nearly as much attention as it could have
the person playing wolverine during that was actually richard armitage from the
hobbit movies it was called wolverine the long
trail and it also featured gambit for those of you that are still wondering if
they're ever going to make that gambit movie
this is a little clip of what that sounded like
what the hell were you doing at her apartment who the hell is this guy i'm
an old friend also if you've ever listened to the
classic superman radio dramas from a long long time ago
imagine a batman horror story done like that and
number one speaking of which there was also a similar special new superman
project they announced a dc fandom that's a little bit like this
but i think that's being done by a completely different group of people
on a different platform but it's basically them doing another superman
narrative reimagining of the classic superman
radio dramas with new actors either way it sounds really cool and i'm
happy that dc is finally spending some more money taking some chances on
premium content like this especially since
2020 has been such a crap year with practically zero new content from dc and
marvel it seems like every week they tell us
about something really cool that's coming
next year i will do more videos for this new batman unburied
project when they release a new trailer next year and announce who the cast is
going to be and of course i'll be doing regular videos for the batman movie in
all the batman movies coming out next year
speaking of which they just released a new trailer for the batman red hood
movie that's coming out later this year that's right there is new batman stuff
coming later this year i'll post that later tonight as long as
you have alerts enabled for my channel you should see that when i post it
