‘The Batman Complex’ Is My Favorite Movie Never Made
The Internet is a magical place, evidence #6930875379046c —
Themanbatman is one of those glorious online fan producers dedicated to “visual creative writing” by chopping up other movies and media to create new narratives. As the name suggests, many of them are in some way related to Batman. In February, “The Batman Complex - Teaser Trailer” hit YouTube, and now the full-length trailer has started making the rounds.
“The Batman Complex” reorganizes several Christopher Nolan films (plus a few other movies on Christian Bale’s resume) and ends up with this perfect Megazord psychodrama experience. If this had been a real full-length feature film, then “The Batman Complex” would be the only movie I’d ever watch for the rest of my life, forever and ever, amen.
Re-Cut Trailer: ‘Toy Story 3’ vs ‘Inception’
This doesn’t satisfy quite as much as the Toy Story 2 vs. The Dark Knight re-cut trailer, but it’s still pretty entertaining. Obviously what we should learn from this is that Christopher Nolan and Pixar always go hand-in-hand, in some bizarre way.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Play The Riddler in Batman 3?
(Fact: the picture illustrates nothing except for how Joseph Gordon-Levitt is beautiful, which is a given. Behold.)
Now that Inception is out, the media’s focusing its attention on Christopher Nolan’s next venture — Batman 3. Although Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s agents have denied it thus far, there are still some persistent rumors floating around that Nolan’s interested in JGL playing The Riddler in the next Batman installment.
Would this be a good idea? That’s hard to tell without other details about the script. Whether or not the Riddler casting comes to pass, though, I do now know that I won’t be completely satisfied unless JGL makes an appearance somewhere in that movie. He was excellent in Inception, and there’s no doubt that he could keep up with Nolan’s darker look at characters in Gotham City.

Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’ is Like a Good Game of Bingo
Christopher Nolan is one of the strongest blockbuster filmmakers right now, and Inception proves that all over again. He’s definitely my favorite of all the contenders today, but the thing about fan behavior is that as much as that inspires an immediate interest and excitement about someone or something in us, it means we’re also very aware of that individual’s strengths, tells, and weaknesses pretty well, since because we’ve been so obsessed for a prolonged period of time. I was hooked with Memento. It’s been some years tracing Nolan’s career. I could probably make a list a la How To Spot A Shyamalan or even rough draft a bingo card.
Not that it makes Inception any less compelling, quite the opposite, but it isn’t without things seen from Nolan before. I mean…
