If I were in charge of the new movie(thread)

Hey maybe we can sticky this topic as an ideas thread? Since not everyone here is too excited about Bay and the TMNT, I thought that I would throw some suggestions for the new movie I had. This could be a creative way to express concepts for the new movie even though it probably might not happen, but what the heck, I want to have some fun. Anyway here's what I would want to see.

I think the new TMNT movie could go to 4 movies if done right over the next couple of years. I know these ideas have been mentioned before, but it would be dark and more mature like the Mirage comics. In fact you might say it would be basically the Mirage stories in movie form.

Spoilers ahead from the Mirage comics

Movie 1:
Movie 1 would start with a prologue starting with TMNT #9 "The Passing." It would be a different approach to introducing the TMNT in a movie, I really like the Passing because it can show the turtles before they got their signature weapons and it could really give Splinter's character the spotlight from the beginning for a change. Movie 1 would rely on strictly an origins tale focusing on Mirage #1 which would be next after the TMNT help Hattori in The Passing.
I would strictly focus on just the Turtles, Splinter and Shredder. You could show Shredder growing up, his hatred growing as well. And yes, Shredder dies in this movie in the end just like the first comic. And that's how movie 1 ends.
No April or Casey until movie 2 at least.

Movie 2
Movie 2 brings in Casey April and Baxter Stockman. And it's more sci fi like the next comics that followed.
We start with "Me Myself and I" bringing in Casey Jones.
Next "TMNT vs The Mousers" where we meet April and Baxter. Then it shows them "escaping in the van" from Stockman and Splinter discovers he was saved by the TCRI utroms! The "TMNT try to rescue Splinter" from the TCRI labs when they take the Trans dimensional portal to the "Triceratons home world" where they fight the Triceratons in a colliseum like setting as the final battle in this movie. Then they are transported back to the TCRI, where "all is revealed" by the Utoms as a peaceful race and the Turtles are reunited with Splinter. Meanwhile the news and SWAT teams are outside the TCRI building trying to get in. Everyone gets home at the last minute before it is too late.

As you can see these two films follow the comics exactly. Movie 1 is like Batman Begins, kind of like a slow burn. We have enough there IMO to keep fans entertained. In Movie 2 we have the Turtles trying to deal without their father and Master, Splinter.
