The "Bat" Family

The "Bat" Family

Oh the wonderful world of the Batman...what else can I say? There's so many options. So many different ways they could tell these stories. Here's one, of a different perspective.

Filed Under: Fan Fic

Over the past sixty years, we have seen the Batman portrayed in many, many ways. But, certain things have never changed. I'm sure you all know what I mean. If you don't I will hope you figure it out by the end of this article. Anyways, the way I look at it. The third installment of Chris Nolan and Christian Bale's Batman will probably be the last. Now, as much as I like them. Maybe it's time for a change. A different take on the Batman. I'm not saying change everything about him. His origin is great. His stories have always been great. But, there are a million different things we can do with these beloved characters while changing very little aspects of their origins.

Here's my proposal.


Bruce Wayne. Sitting at his kitchen table reading the newspaper, drinking a cup of coffee perhaps. Alfred in the background doing whatever. Still the same right? In walks Selina Kyle kissing her husband and pouring herself a cup as well.

walking through the outside door of the kitchen is tim drake. helena kyle in route behind him. conversations follow between the family. catching where i'm going with this?

Incorporate Dick living in a small house further down the property of the Wayne mansion, with his fiance Barbara and her retired father Jim. and its pretty much all there.

They would be the most infamous and richest family ever, yet no one would really know much about them. Aside from Bruce being a millionaire. Constantly in the news, on the tv. at special shows. and at night beating the hell out of bad guys together. Batman and Robin on one side of town stopping a bank robbery. the Huntress alone on the other assisting cops in a drug bust gone wrong. Night wing and Bat girl helping the local police force by "assistant body guarding" a public event. It sounds like a good idea to me. If you disagree. Tell me why. I love a good debate. Anyways. As always I will cast this. I've done so before. But it seems to have vanished for some odd reason. Anyways. Lets do it.

I'll obviously start with Batman. The infamous Dark Knight himself. The adopted "father" of Dick and Time" and actual father of Helena. He's a family man, and a business man, and a ninja. What could be better? All credit goes to Shaman for this one.



Moving on to the wife...Selina Kyle. Nothing will ever sound more right to me than this woman. She has that sleek look to her, and the face that says, I can totally kick your ass. While at the same time, she looks like she could make some mean scrambled eggs.



Helena Kyle, the daughter of Bruce and Selena(I know this doesn't go with the comics exactly, but dammit its my idea, lol.) Well, I've looked at all the options on this site. Shaman even had a poll over this one. My choice lost, and I don't care. I'm sticking with her. She, IMO, looks like she could be the love child of Adrian and Angelina. Plus, in anything I've ever seen her in, she's always had the attitude and the look to be an ass kicker.



Tim Drake. The third to don the red and yellow tights. As many of you know, there are few teen actors out there today that really stand out. That actually have talent, and the ones that do, usually aren't "actual" teens. Now, I've heard some mention the likes of Justin Chatwin for this role. I think he'd do a stellar job. But, he's always had a kid flash feel to him, IMO, or even Superboy depending on the route taken. In my opinion No one is more write for this part than...



Dick Grayson. The original Robin. All grown up, and looking to prove himself on his own. I can't remember who, and I apologize for that. But someone mentioned this guy in Rocky, and whereas I had already cast him for the part, what they said made it sound even better. I've seen him on Heroes a few times, and in a movie called Morgue, which is where I got the idea. I think he's got the perfect look, and the perfect attitude to give this part just what it needs.



and last but not least. Barbara Gordon. This one I had to think long and hard about. he he. sorry. But, ultimately I decided on Eliza Dushku, I think she would nail this role more than perfectly. and look I even got her as a red head.




and as for Jim Gordon. I actually loved Gary Oldman's portrayal of him, and would love to see him carry it for as long as he possibly can.
Whelp, that's it.

let me know what ya think.

I agree with most of tehm except Agenlina, I hate that gaffed out whore with a passion. SHe is extremly overrated and not that talented. I would prefer a lesser known actress like Kate Beckinsale. But that is just my opinion and a lot of people like Angelina, but she is suggested for EVERY role!
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 5/26/2009, 8:39 AM
I like Kate Beckinsale, and she fits the part very well in a Christian Bale/Chris Nolan style movie. But, next to Mila Kunis and Adrian Pasdar she just doesn't look right to me. If you look at Mila Kunis, she is most definitely the love child of Adrian and Angelina. They can deny it all they want. But the proof is in the above pictures.
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 5/26/2009, 8:40 AM
But, if you have any other ideas. I'm always open for suggestions. But like I said. I think Angelina is perfect for this role.

I know, I just don't like Jolie. She does not scream Catwoman, to me.
Shaman

Thanks for the shout out, of course i like all those pics! And a new one with Milo, VERY NICE :)) As for Catwoman, i feel Jolie as well as Kate would make amazing Catwomen. Here's a few sketches of mine as well as my personal favorite pic for Catwoman:



And Carla Gugino as Catwoman!!!

Nicely done, I really like it when people give a reason of why they want who they want, but I cant say I agree with any of your picks, except for Nightwing. I think he could ace the role.

Shaman I love Carla Gugino as much as the next one, but she doesn't fit the Catwoman style to me. SHe would however be perfect for a certain sexy eco terrorist..

i like ur choices but still prefer Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 5/26/2009, 4:58 PM
Imma start from the bottom up

@Joshw24. I'm not ragging on Christian Bale. But this is a different kinda story. Where a slightly aged looking batman would be needed.

@The Hawk. Wasn't she in Austin Powers? Damn. Nevermind. lol.

@Shaman. You rock dude. Your pick would do wonders as catwoman. But i want to see Angelina Purr dammit.

@Yohon. Well, too each their own. But I do agree. Milo would rock. Can you tell me why you dislike them though?

@LastSon. Bring it on dude.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 5/26/2009, 6:23 PM
jozlezio85: oh well then thats a pretty good choice for an older bruce wayne i have to admit! i especially like Labeouf for Tim Drake!
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 5/26/2009, 10:26 PM
Well thank you. But, the Pasdar for batman credit goes to shaman. If you look above he actually drew a picture of Adrian Pasdar as Batman. It's very well done.

Joslezio85 - 5/26/2009, 10:27 PM

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry, most of the time when I take the time to make a big post no one takes the time to read it.


~~First your set up~~

Let me start with saying I think you could get you point across better if you fixed up the pics, a simple resize in MS paint then put the actor next to the character in one pic. Also make sure you have both the characters name and the actors name, yeah most of are fans and know, but I think it just looks nicer. Also there are more then one version of some of these characters so it would help if you put what time line your working on, for example, I think Barbara Gorden was a cripple by the time Dick became Nightwing. Not to give Betty a big head, but I still think his Invincible fan fic was the best done yet, and I didnt even know the comic, hes just got a nice st up with good pics and a I like how he gives a reason of why he want that actor for the role.


~~Second your story~~

It seems lie this would be to happy go lucky. The bat signal goes up and like 7 people go running out of the house in costumes to fight crime, it reminds me of the incredibles. The fact is even the comic book writers know this. I mean yes all these characters are in the comic, but most of the time they never fight together being that there all there own people not a team. Nightwing hates being in Batmans shadow, even the new Robin is starting to move on. Same goes with Huntress and Batgirl. Now I was thinking if you really wanted to make them like this it would be best to do the whole death of Batman. Then you could have the family you want, Nightwing comes back and tries to become the man of the house, you could have Batmans crazy son and Robin fighting. You could have Batgirl as Oracle and huntress together, maybe have Batwoman come into the fold, but the story being all them are coming together to help keep Gotham safe, because its what Batman would have wanted. I think this is the only way your going to get the family you want, thing is you dont have Batman..


~~Third is your cast~~

Adrian Pasdar as Bruce Wayne/Batman:

Going off your story, I could see him as Bruce, but not as batman, I know that might sound weird, but its just Adrian doesnt give me the fear of batman, it was the same with George Clooney, I liked him as Bruce, but not as Batman.


Angelina Jolie as Selina Kyle/Catwoman:

I dont know, I can see her Jolie having the attitude, just Selina in the coimics as hot as she was, she was always an everyday type woman, and Jolie like Halle Berry and Michelle Pfeiffer are not everyday women. I think I could see Kate Beckinsal, but she is alittle young to be Adrian Pasdar's Catwoman. I dont know who I would want as Catwoman, just that Jolie isnt quiet right for the part.


Mila Kunis as Helena Bertinelli/Huntress:

I have never heard of her being named Helena Kyle. I was thinking about and yeah I guess I can see this. The newer versions of Huntress are alot younger and she is more light hearty. When I first was reading your post I had Strong powerful woman in my mind, now in the newer art style she isnt as old as I remember. So I wanted to see how she would look so I made a pic ill put down below.


Shia Labeouf as Tim Drake/Robin:

Okay, Im starting to see Shia as the Nick Cage of younger actors, it seems like everything hes in he plays himself and not the character. Tim is a mentally strong character, and the leader of the Titans. I just cant see Shia pulling him off.


Milo Ventimiglia as Dick Grayson/Nightwing:

First off, Tom Welling kicks ass and is a great Clark Kent, and all around great actor, you wish you were him and you know it lol. As for Milo, I like Heroes, but thats not why I think he would be a good Dick. If you have seen the newest Rocky movie you will know this guy screams Nightwing, He played a young guy in his dads shadow, Hating him, but at the same time loving him. Milo should have this role hands down, great pick.


Eliza Dushku as Barbara Gordon:

No, there is just nothing I see in her that would make me think Batgirl, also I think she is getting to old, not much to say about her.


Last, but not least:

Hope you read this and it helps you out, oh yeah and here is that pic I made lol.

@Yohon.

Dick was already Nightwing when Barbara was shot.

AS for Helena Kyle, after One Year Later Selina Kyle was no longer Catwoman, she had given birth to a daughter named Helena (whose father is initially unknown). Holly Robinson took over as the new Catwoman while Selina, living under the alias Irena Dubrovna, turned her attention to caring for her daughter

His version of her seems to be inspired by Helena Wayne. SHe was the daughter of teh Earth 2 Batman and Catwoman Helena began her super-hero career when a criminal blackmailed her mother into resuming action once again as Catwoman -- an act which eventually led to her death. Helena, deciding to bring the criminal responsible to justice, created a costume for herself, fashioned some weapons from her parents' equipment (including her eventual trademark, a crossbow), and set out to bring in the criminal. After accomplishing this, Helena decided to continue to fight crime, under the code name, the "Huntress."

She was erased from existance during Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Decent level of skill, Bedazzled and Austin Powers. She was good in a movie she played with Denis Leary... can't remember the name. And all she'd need to do is act like herself. She's basically the living representation of Poison Ivy so it's really not that much of a stretch. And her english accent (that she can't get rid of) wouldn't be much of a sacrilege really. Carla is also a great IVY none the less :)

@The Hawk.

Yeah I was looking at my comis after I posted that, but didnt feel like jumping back on to edit it. Since now you have said something I cant lol. All I was trying to say is most of those characters wouldn't had all been in the house at once.

Joslezio85 - 5/27/2009, 12:52 PM
@yohon. I respect where you coming from. And yes, i did read it since its my article, i'm kinda required. lol. You gave very good arguments for everything you put up. Which I strongly appreciate. I'll start from the beginning. Your right. I did make it sound rather campy didn't I? When I said beating ass "together" I didn't actually mean like side by side. That's my fault for not clarifying. What I meant was like say maybe there's a bank robbery on one side of gotham and a fat man choking on the other...lol. couldn't think of much. Well, send Nightwing to cover the bank robbery, maybe with batgirl or huntress, and send robin to cover the fat man choking. While, bats and whoever still patrol the streets.

Moving on. I get how you can see that with Adrian Pasdar. But, like many greats. He'd have to be given the chance before we can actually judge. Am I right? Same goes for Angelina. As Hawk said I did indeed base it off of the Earth 2 character, at least in many ways, and Selina would be retired. The only aspect I would have is small flashbacks. etc. etc.

I've never actually seen Rocky, and I've only seen a couple episodes of Heroes. But, I did see him and some movie about a morgue which is where I though of being Nightwing. Eliza, I do not think is too old. She's shown many times. In many different things. Buffy, Dollhouse. A few movies. That she has the attitude, and the ass-kickery? to do the role of the bat girl.

I will agree with you on the Shia comment. But, I do find that as he gets older, he gets better at getting into it. I will not stoop to call him Nick Cage just yet.

If I didn't comment on something you've said. It's because I didn't want to, not cause I didn't read it. lol.

and remember, its a comic book. They change things up all of the time. Just to make a good story.
