ROBIN HOOD: ORIGINS May Create Scheduling Conflict For Taron Egerton & KINGSMAN 2

Lionsgate's Robin Hood: Origins - a 'dark and gritty' take on the legendary archer, inspired by The Dark Knight

Ugh. I wonder when movie studios will grow a [frick]ing brain and realize that The Dark Knight wasn't great because it made Batman dark and gritty but because Nolan adapted Batman comics which are dark and gritty.

wait...what?

Robin Hood: Origins??? the [frick]?

@Jollem Yeah...I was like uuhhh...this has been done before hahaha

Robin Hood: Origins "dark and gritty take".... Hollywood's favorite description for a reimagining uggggh. Taron you can do better

"A 'dark and gritty' take on the legendary character inspired by The Dark Knight."

The Dark Knight wasn't Batman made dark and gritty...he's ALWAYS been that way. Nolan just adapted Batman's best storylines, mythology and attributes,(which are mostly dark) very well. Does Hollywood not understand this???


This constant and annoying modeling of new franchises after TDK is unoriginal and hackneyed. Theres a bigfer issue here:It's time for producers to stop attempting to cash in on the success of The Dark Knight while missing what made Nolan’s Batman films so successful.



The Dark Knight is really not that much worse than a conventional comic book film. It feels “real” because actors like Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine sell the reality. TDK is at its core a robust, witty, and energetic action drama that thrives on the optimistic idea that a few morally decent peiple can make a difference in a world seemingly fueled by chaos and corruption.There are moments of grim violence and operatic tragedy, but its overall effect and the strength of its exploration of morality is merely a byproduct of its quality. It is filled with lively exchanges, laugh-out-loud comedy (Joker), and gee-whiz action spectacle. It's more than just dark and gritty...it's still comic book melodrama sprinkled with grim subject matter and a heightened sense of the real world problems. TDK is a success because it's an intelligent, thrilling and though provoking blockbuster, not becasue the subject matter is gritty. At the time it was just ahead of the curve lol

This is gonna cross over with King Arthur right? FolkLore Cinematic Universe

I already emailed my boss to tell him I'm not going into the office tomorrow because now I'm getting shitfaced. Thanks, Scobee.

Seems to me like Egerton wants to kill his career, and Fox is trying to save him.

Granted, if Matthew Vaughn isn't directing this, then forget it, it's DOA.
