Bruce Wayne / Batman
for Bruce Wayne / Batman in James Gunn's BATMAN!
Suggested by sotetariah
If James Gunn made a Batman movie, he'll be able to use his talent in adding dark humour, trying to make the audience laugh after a traumatic scene. Bruce Wayne suffers the loss of his parents who were murdered by muggers on the streets of Gotham and the criminals were never caught. He grows up reclusive in his mansion along with his butler, Alfred. His attempt to move on in life has made him a tech-wiz and he is skilled in martial arts. Nowadays he runs his late father's money-making corporation. Bruce now vows to have good people of Gotham City protected and not go through the same suffering as he did. When he finds an old cavern under his house with bats nesting down there (luckily they don't have rabies), it inspires him to don a bat-themed costume and fight crime as "Batman." Meanwhile, a struggling sociopathic comedian who used to work at a chemical processing company is chased by criminals to that factory where he falls into a vat of corrosive chemicals. His survives and is given reconstruction surgery, which make him look like a green-haired mime. His whole life felt like a joke, which is why he has chronic laughter. Now he goes by "the Joker." Batman must stop the Joker from poisoning Gotham with his new serum. Also, Bruce becomes extremely overwhelmed having to raise an orphaned pre-teen boy, after the Joker attacks at a circus resulting in the death of the boys acrobat parents. It will have elements from "The Animated Series," "The Long Halloween," "The Killing Joke," and "LEGO Batman movie. At one point Dick Grayson will say, "Everyone calls me Dick." And Bruce says, "I'm so sorry" or "Why does everyone think you're a dick?" And for sure, this movie should include ACE THE BAT HOUND!
