@@Wingedmagician He means that Batman is an "actual Knight" here. The way Dark Knight been used so far is just an allegory, it was never literally " Batman is wearing a dark knight armor". I can't believe I have to chew it for you
@@NeonAstralOfficial i think he means plenty of people have made this connection before and batman's been depicted in dark knight armor before plenty of times before this. see "Dark Knights of Steel" for example
@@jasper_serpent3099 I'd argue the first one and even more so batman returns could classify as fantasy, there's a lot of fantastical elements. I suppose mainly in returns with the penguins and the cats basically reviving catwoman, but even in the first one there's still this sense of fantasy with danny elfman's whimsical and dark score and the exaggerated gothic gotham city
It's super dramatic, the lighting and 80s film technique fits Batman like a glove tbh. Alot of films/franchises with dark or serious undertones really benefit from it.
@@gman7497 I'm so glad this is popularized, it really opens up our imaginations for what could be possible or could've been. I actually had dreams of AI art of me seeing them in the theaters, felt so surreal like as if I was in another world.

I mean, that and Gotham is supposed to be very dark and gothic. It's dark fantasy theme in this rendition kind of fits Gotham's backwardness and its stagnancy due to such high crime rate. Gotham is seemingly stuck in perpetual criminal darkness.
Maybe when he was a kid, he seeing his dead parents maybe give him a power-like curse who gives him high intellect and superhuman intuition or dexterity. To hide his tooth he may use white clay or other material so people don't recognize him. Or maybe the tooth are part of his uniform/armor
So grounded and easy to pull off that it's really believable not just for the time but for an actor to have to use on the movie set everyday and a real person known as "the Penguin" to wear as a disguise. Just give them a mask with the penguin like nose, a hat, pompous figure, and hire a good actor to portray his more political side of evil and instant icon.
It looks like it could be a live action movie based in the Warhammer 40k universe, in a planet in the Imperium that is mixed in old/ancient technology to the most advanced that the Empire has to offer.
Mr. Freeze's suit in the 80s fantasy style looks absolutely "cool". The idea of a Batman story taking place in the medieval times sounds like it could've been great as an AU comic.
I'd love to know why the AI generally represents women as Michelle Pfeiffer looking and men as David Chokachi. Just a very interesting pattern they all seem to follow.
That "interesting pattern" is exactly how AI works, everything is based on existing and preset photos and images, just mixed and edited in requested direction.
@@Mantenner it was a human who chose it. I think separate part of algorithm was learning to draw humans, and stopped learning when human was satisfied with images it produces, so it just so happened that human was satisfied with 80's looking Michelle Pfeiffer.
Having grown up on 80s films, being a huge Batman fan, and having extreme pattern recognition. This blew my mind I feel like I've seen all these images before yet never in my life. It makes me sad that films don't make me have this feeling anymore, like the first time I watched The Lost Boys or The Goonies. Mannn I wish these were made real ❤️ maybe one day 😶 I hope.
It's so funny to see the batmobile and Mr freezes gun in these and it's still so accurate because some 80s films like Krull had technology in the movie still.
Clayface is just PERFECT! The idea of him being an old big strong man (almost like GoW Ragnarok's Thor) really fits him, and the fact that he's just a man except for the fact that he's made of clay really fits the medieval theme, just like the Green Knight from the "Sir Gawain and The Green Knight" tale!
That first Scarecrow design is incredible. Same goes with the second Riddler and Poison Ivy. And I love the idea of making The Penguin just be a giant sentient penguin. It's crazy enough to work.
Hope you do a part 2 to this, I would've loved to see what Killer Croc would've looked like in a fantasy film like this considering how cool Joker, Harley, Freeze, Scarecrow and Penguin turned out.
Watched a lot of these kinds of videos over the past few days, and this is probably one of the best I’ve seen so far. These designs are uniquely badass!
A.I. Art can really render the most amazing, photorealistic images based on some headshots and a typing prompt. All with realistic depth and detail. Still put 7-8 fingers on a hand. It's exciting and puzzling all at once.
Mr.freeze's weapon is an ice staff instead of a gun Batman rides a demon horse and a bat-bear hybrid on the ground and a giant bat in the air Lucius Fox is an alchemist and magic user and a monster collector. Joker is a demon of hell that symbolizes chaos Harley is a princess who is bewitched and becomes the Joker's henchmen Bane was a hybrid of a female slave and a giant dwarf and exiled to the deepest depths, enslaved by warriors in the aristocratic arena, Bane became full of hatred for the world.
A lot of these videos I watch for the weird sense of goofy nostalgia- but even conceptually this one looks like something I could get obsessed with. The Joker will haunt my dreams 💀
This style works so well for so many Batman characters. I suppose it's only natural that a gothic style would work for a story set in a place called Gotham.
Imagine when this kind of AI advances to procedurally generated simulations not just images, have to suspect that’s the endgame for something like the meta verse, you’ll plug into your own personal matrix and love it.
