For the past month I've been working on a Batman short film for my drama ISU. I had an idea a couple months ago but I kind of forgot about it until recently. These are my two ideas, I need your help on deciding which one I should do.
Option 1: Bruce Wayne has given up on Gotham and has decided to hang up the suit. Gotham is worse then ever, criminals have takin over this once beloved city and a new villain has appeared challenging the Batman with riddles and threatening those who Bruce once cared for deeply. Now, Wayne must dawn the suit and save the one city that never gave up on him.
Characters:
Batman
C.Gordon
Harvey Dent
The Riddler
Option 2: Gotham is now once again a respected city, where all walks of life now go to. However, a serial killer has emerged given the name, The Riddler. Batman must solve his Riddles before another innocent person is murdered. Batman is now receiving help from Commissioner Gordon and the new district attorney, Harvey Dent.
Characters:
Batman
C.Gordon
Harvey Dent
The Riddler
Joker (cameo)
I do have a somewhat good video camera, it's not hand held more professional. All roles have been cast with help from friends who all share a desire to act and can act. I went with Riddler as a main, mostly because he is well known and doesn't require makeup which costs money. (I'm on a budget)
I'm doing my best not to copy Nolan, so this is why I'm starting the possible series with a villain he hasn't tried and also cause this villain doesn't cost much to look good.
The Riddler costume will be a black suit with a green tie. He will wear a derby hat with a green question mark.
