After watching The Batman, I really felt Riddler would’ve been perfect for the third Bale film threatening to expose the corruption, the dent lie and more insidiously the identity of Batman. Also, Court of Owls that brings challenges the idea of who the Wayne’s were, their legacy especially how it was set up in Batman Begins… You have the riddler’s revolution of corruption and the court of owls and their web of corruption and conspiracy… and Batman having to deal with both would’ve been a really exciting finale for Nolan’s trilogy. The Batman that inspired Riddler and Bruce Wayne and the privilege he gets that establishes Court of Owls all at once.
I have to say your opening is riveting, I was on the edge of my seat just listening and picturing it. It’s such a genius move to start the movie where the dark night left off, and then just have a time skip. Especially because the build up for bane needs to be so slow that the movie should start with a heart pumping action sequence. Also opening of the movie with Gotham against Batman is perfect when you contrast it to the ending, gothamb revering and almost worshiping him as a symbol and a man. I will say the rocket launcher and mini gun are goofy lol it’s so unrealistic and ridiculous for police officers to be firing rocket launchers in military grade heavier old territory like this, it would be totally doable if you just had multiple snipers on helicopters and many police cars chasing after him. It could be pretty similar to what we got and rises when he’s being chased by the police after trying to catch up with Bane, I think it’s only fine for him to want to retire because of RACHEL!!!!!, similar to mask of the phantasm, if Batman is presented with away out, happiness, true love, then he would definitely want to leave this tragic and hopeless and tormenting life behind him. But for him this is the only way, so unless you give him true love, unless you give him true happiness, away out, I don’t think you should ever want to leave or stop being Batman. so for the dark night I think it’s fine, but I don’t think it makes any sense for him to stop being Batman at the beginning of rises. I deafly don’t like that the time skip is only one year, along with the fact that In your version Bruce is being shown for the first time the new and improved Batcave in Wayne Manor, I think it’s much cooler and more realistic to just have him be Batman for another four or five years while the cops are actively trying to hunt him down, and we get to see what his new Batcave looks like, what he’s been working with for the past five years. It also doesn’t make any sense that she hadn’t seen the Batcave before completion. Who is working on it? Alfred and Fox? By themselves? I’m not gonna have strangers come in and do construction. Lastly, the fact that you have so many comic characters in here shows how childish and unrealistic your version is. I feel like I’m watching a cartoon when I imagine the things you’re saying, it would never work in the dark Knight trilogy, you should’ve just stuck with the league of shadows and bane.
Some Easter eggs changes I’d make is - The order of saint Dumas would have harleen quinzel as their brain washer The penguin would supply guns for bane but we never see penguin
If the story of The Dark Knight Rises went that way, it would have been retitled The Dark Knight Continues and would have been a lot darker and grittier, as well as R-rated, and even better.
Thank you! Yeah, I kinda wish we’d get an R-rated Batman movie at some point. Not for any gratuitous reason, but just so that we could really dive into the true insanity of Batman’s world.
You should do a episodes that explains the epilogue of these events. Like do a episode of batman trying to figure out who is leaving these question Marks at crime scenes and how batman stops them, and you can also do a episode that about batman hunting and stopping killer croc. If you don't want to do that I would love to see you react to gotham 1919 - 1939 documentary series by batfeed. It would be very cool and I'm sure you'll get tons of new subscribers.
@@TheRewriter Same. Him quitting at the end would have a far bigger punch if his plan all along wasn't to quit. I'd accept it in TDK if he started thinking of quitting after Joker makes Gotham think he's doing more bad than good but him just all along thinking of that is lame.
In a sense I can understand why him quitting is out of character. But Batman not only quit because he was getting old he quit definitively because he held a gun to threaten a criminal (he had a heart attack and was on the floor) and I think that lines up with Batman killing Harvey which obviously broke his code which I think is a better way for him to “quit” but I do agree the quitting to be with Rachel is kinda an odd choice especially as this is year 2-3 for him and not year 15-20
The thing that bugs me the most about Dark Knight Rises is the blatant disrespect of Robin. I’m a huge fan of Nightwing (Nolan clearly wasn’t) and to see what Nolan and co. Did to the character in this movie pissed me off to no end.
My main problem with The Dark Knight Rises (not the rewrite) is that Batman is taken out of action for WAY too long. While Bane is taken over Gotham and Robin and Gordon are leading a resitance movement, Batman is stuck in prison recovering from his injuries and trying to escape it. I also felt like the Talia twist was unnessary and that it could have been cut without it having much of a effect on the movie.
Also add the fact that while we get to see Bruce's challenge from getting out of the pit we don't get almost any challenge of him getting back to the city, which y'know it's literally in a state of nobody enters, nobody gets out
Dude. Your videos are legit super good. I do have a rewrite recommendation that might be cool and interesting and that I think people would like: you could do an Amazing Spider-Man 2 rewrite which I know has been done a lot by other folks but same goes for Star Wars and your Star Wars vids were the best I’d seen so maybe you could make the best Spider-Man rewrite I’ve seen. Anyways, great video. Keep up the good work
Dude this rewrite started out ok but fell flat as you went along and I don't want you to take it personally but as constructive criticism. Since I'm writing my own definitive ending, I'll tell you where you went wrong. You left out the city which is one of the most important thing in those films, you left out Gordan for majority of the acts, you brought in the Order of Saint Duma, which for the sake of being minimal made the story convoluted. you put Venom in the the film which I had realized was left out of the original film for the sake of the realism that Nolan was going for and the most important thing you neglected to touch upon was The Dent Act which should have been the integral part of the film. All in all you show potential but you still need some work, think of it this way, if your gonna rewrite something that someone has already made why not do it in a way that still feels as though it was done by that same creator.
I agree with you, this is the only rewrite that I don't agree with, the only thing TDKR needed was a more ironed out plot like the fusion bomb thing was stupid.
@@jerbs5346 I definitely agree, if you remove the "neutron bomb", the league of shadows and double down on the impact, the Dent Act has had on the city and its criminals, lean in more on the social disparity then you'll have a genuinely soild film. Bane was always meant to be an allegory for the corrupt justice system.
@@stvcherenfant You're contradicting what I stated, I typed the plot could've been more ironed out, as in the plot could've made more sense, when I said the bomb was stupid I didn't say anything about removing it, a fusion reactor converted into a bomb is stupid, Fusion can only be sustained under containment, and any loss of containment would cause the plasma to cool so fast that the fusion would cease in microseconds. So at that point the bomb would have already been disarmed, it should have been a Tsar Bomba.
Well I think it was going to be the early rumours of the Dark knight rises where people think that the Riddler, Penguin, Mad Hatter, Catwoman, Black Mask, Harley Quinn, Hugo Strange and Robin were gonna to appear. I have mix feelings about Batman Returns because I always felt that Batman and Penguin should be like Eliot Ness and Al Capone from the Untouchables and I guess you heard about that Robin Williams was going to be the Riddler in Batman Forever?
Wow, that was gonna be a packed movie. I think that many characters would’ve ruined the movie even further haha. Yeah, the rendition of Penguin in BR was nasty, I didn’t like it. I actually like the way he’s portrayed in The New Adventures of Batman and Robin the best. I’ve never heard of Robin Williams being Riddler, but that would’ve been kinda weird haha. I’ve always thought Matthew Gray Gubler from Criminal Minds would make a great Riddler.
@@TheRewriter No problem! I loved the Dark Knight Rises, but I always enjoy listening to another interpretation of what might have been. I came up with an idea that had the Riddler and Killer Croc as the villains. The Riddler would have been an GCPD detective obsessed with catching Batman and Killer Croc as a sympathetic and tragic villain that the Riddler manipulates into fighting Batman
I disagree, the concept of Batman retiring was executed perfectly in The 2008 trilogy, Rachel was his one love, he was blinded by that for the entire film, even to her own harm in the end, she didn’t love him more than dent though, she was supposed to show him that he and Gotham need Batman, but she died and Alfred interfered, and so he gave up.
@@TheRewriter I hope you not mind to hear another idea what if you did a rewrite on x men destiny, a game with so much potential but it failed too deliver.
I disagree with you on alot of things with this rewrite, Like having the movie start with Bane was great, you changed it unnecessarily, the only thing you could have changed was having it to where bane brought 2 extra men after the plane got blown in half and putting them in it to die with that other guy.
I love This way better you took the Comic book Elements and Character's of Batman and put them into the Christopher Nolan Trilogy Universe nice and ending the Movie with Bruce Still being Batman in the Cave under Wayne Manor with Alfred still there is a much Better Ending Teasing The Riddler as the Next Villain nice Touch
Yeah, Heath Ledger died a couple months or so before the movie came out I believe. Or maybe it was after, but it was close to the release of the Dark Knight either way.

I wouldn't mind Bruce retiring at the very end, but the problem is that he never fully became Batman, he was always thinking of quitting.
That’s something I never liked about Nolan’s movies
@@TheRewriter Same. Him quitting at the end would have a far bigger punch if his plan all along wasn't to quit. I'd accept it in TDK if he started thinking of quitting after Joker makes Gotham think he's doing more bad than good but him just all along thinking of that is lame.
Or have it be placed far longer after Begins so it isn't like "Oh I've been Batman for a year, I think i'm done"
@@AsgersWeb I agree, it feels cheap and lame
In a sense I can understand why him quitting is out of character.

I agree, that made the movie feel kinda slow and boring.
what i would've done to fill that void is have john blake as azrael sort of take up the mantle for a bit until batman returned
Also add the fact that while we get to see Bruce's challenge from getting out of the pit we don't get almost any challenge of him getting back to the city, which y'know it's literally in a state of nobody enters, nobody gets out

Thanks again! Yeah, I’ve thought about doing an AS2 rewrite, I’ll have to do it at some point.
Also I think this movie would’ve been 5 hours long so split in 2 parts
The dark knight continues
The dark knight rises
The Dark Night Falls
The Dark Knight Rises
Sounds more riveting
