So recently I've been replaying Arkham Asylum on the PS4 and after just finishing the story it got me into wanting a Batman film where he's stuck/trap on the island, with little to no help. Going up against most of his rogue gallery. I think this has a lot of kick ass potential and could show off the variety of gadgets we haven't seen done yet.

They could just make a straight adaptation of Batman Arkham Asylum for me.
Batman over the course of one night, trapped in a indoor environment with criminals out to kill him. The game was basically Die Hard with Batman.
It'd make a good movie.

Wouldn't mind it if they used some of Morrison's stuff from the comic. The comic that inspired that game and has sort of gotten lost in the game's shadow. I know the ending was a lot better than Joker on steroids.

Even if they do a detective Batman movie it be great to see a Arkham Asylum 3rd act in the spirit of The Raid and Dredd.

I want a scene similar to what we got in BVS but on a crazier scale! Batman surrounded by hundreds of Joker/Lex's men/Inmates and he just fights through them. Mix in gadgets and various fighting moves combination to come on top. Maybe add a final fight with someone like Deathstroke! |

No. That would make Lex Luthor the main villain in a Batman film. |

I made a pitch about this:
First Act- The mansion is finished rebuilt. Alfred and Bruce talk about the JL, SS and Joker breaking Harley out. Bruce has “plans”. Barbara Gordon stops by. They catch up. They talk about Dick and how she still helps him from time to time. Bruce and Dick still aren’t seeing eye to eye after Jason Todd’s death who they also talk about. Barbara was also shot that same night.
End of First Act- Batman wakes up in Arkham, huge projector screen shows Joker offering $100M to anyone who kills the Batman. He says Batman is free to leave if he can make it to the rooftop. Arkham is sealed shut from the inside so nobody can get in. Joker unlocks the cells of most of the inmates. This also includes Victor Zsasz, Scarecrow, and Firefly. Deathstroke was able to get inside.
Second Act- Joker is broadcasting this like a pay per view fight. Batman fights tons of villains before it's revealed Joker has a secret agenda. Nightwing, Batgirl and Alfred are working from the outside such as investigating in the Batcave, fighting villains, etc. Nightwing was already targeting Deathstroke for other reasons, so he may be their lead inside Arkham. Batman and Deathstroke incounter each other for the first time, have a good fight but Batman somewhat loses and barely escapes temporarily. Batman finds Catwoman locked up as well and Batman breaks her out before they both fight their way to the rooftop..
Third Act- It is revealed that Catwoman was actually working with Joker for money. She releases some of the Bat Rogue Gallery who were in highly advanced secret cells (Two-Face, Riddler, Bane, and Poison Ivy) and escapes. That was Jokers main goal, not to kill Batman. Nightwing finds a way inside and we see a nice duo fight between Batman and Nightwing against inmates. The ending of the movie is Batman vs Deathstroke having a huge fight and Batman wins. Batman and Nightwing chases after the Joker who eventually escapes after Deathstroke is defeated. End of the film Deathstroke is sent to Belle Reve to Amanda Waller. She plants an explosive device on his neck and welcomes him to the Task Force X.
Mid Credit Scene: Bruce looks at a huge surveillance of some of the villains who have escaped including some of the JL members. He plans to build a larger surveillance, calling it Brother Eye. Bruce has plans, remember?
Post Credit Scene: Red Hood

I was going by the ending of BVS directors cut where Batman tells lex he's being sent to Arkham. So I thought it would make more sense for him to have a antagonist role. |

Just got done with Arkham City, a setting like that would be great for a Batman film as well!

What I want is an Arkham game style trilogy set in real time over one night, the first film opening with Bruce returning home at midnight having put on a Bruce performance and then becoming Batman, have a major big bad scheme ala joker or Scarecrow then each film basically acts as a act in the overall story, finishing up in the last film with Batman looking over Gotham as the sun rises or Bruce at home with Alfred watching the sunrise.
I think a Arkham style movie on it's own wont work because it's just too much, the cinematics alone are movie length in total and that's without the gameplay of him figuring out riddles, fighting villains or examining things, to do it justice it would need to be multiple films or a GOT production level TV show.
As a trilogy I think a idea like this would be great because it's huge but small at the same time, that at the end of the trilogy the realising properly this was all just one nights work in the life of being The Batman.
As a single film though unless you limit yourself in a way that's extremely noticeable you just end up doing a disservice to characters, theres no way Batman could fight, even 1/10th of his rogues gallery in a single film without making most of them seem unimpressive and wasteful imo.

It wouldn't have to be a faithful adaption, just take the basic elements of it. |

It wouldn't have to be a faithful adaption, just take the basic elements of it. If you boil it down to Joker takes over Arkham then have Batman go in alone and use maybe just Joker, Harley, Zsaz & maybe one more character who fits the nutjobs then it could work, but an asylum full of Batman villains is overkill, youd just turn those villains into faceless redshirts so why not just make them violent nutters without being supervillains?
Imo if you take the core concept of any one of the games and flesh it out to a feature it can work, but to try and include even bare bones wise the vast depth of any of the games and you water down and squander the content, but I feel it would be more interesting seeing the concept of one of these games used as the basis for a one night real time almost trilogy it's far more interesting, and it's something I don't think any movie has done so it'd be an interesting move.

RUMOR: Could Ben Affleck's Solo Batflick Be Set In Arkham Asylum?
Bill "Jett" Ramey
July 15, 2016
Before I continue, file this under the “Take with a grain of salt” category, OK? However, it comes from a couple of good FOBOF’s, it’s just scuttlebutt, and, well, kinda cool. Therefore, I thought I’d share.
According to this rumor, the solo Batfleck Batflick would involve Batman being locked up in Arkham. For what reason? I have no idea. For how long? No idea on that either. But, it does jibe with the buzz about "a lot of Batman villains" possilbly being included in Mr. Affleck’s solo Batman film. Such a storyline would be very different from what we’ve seen in the previous Batman movies as well.
None of the FOBOF’s that told me this believe it’s a straight-up adaptation of the ARKHAM ASYLUM video game, or Grant Morrison’s ARKHAM ASYLUM: A SERIOUS HOUSE ON A SERIOUS EARTH. I’d assume that Affleck and Geoff Johns – who are co-writing the screenplay – would only be taking inspiration from each. Remember, Ben Affleck himself has said his Batman film would be an original story, but he would also borrow from various great Batman comic book stories.

Yeah, good memory. There is nothing like those old Batman games. Taking inspiration from them would be neat.
