Supposedly Someone Who Has Read The Script Had This To Say About It

I honestly didn't have much of a problem with that scene. Though, they did way too much with their shells.

I dunno, flying turtles with ice powers sounds pretty cool.

if some turtles carapace can withstand an crocodile/alligator attack, a humanoid turtle being able to deflect bullets with their carapace, at least for a few rounds isn't that far out.

one of the turtle using another turtle as a shied thought... caring brother indeed.

I dunno where do you find an army of mutant turtle warriors? I thought you didn't care about realism?

Or robots. Robots would be cool.

The Flyweight division in MMA.

Really though a good mix of random thugs, ninjas and robots wouldn't be to bad actually.

And that's somehow more realistic than ninjas?

Batman & Robin didn't make the good Batman stuff stupider, Batman's doing just fine.

The dangerous thing is if its intensely profitable garbage. If that's the case, then we could see corporate mandate forcing changes from the movie onto the IDW series and the Nickelodeon cartoon. Bumblebee being mute has become cannon across all current Transformers cartoons and video games, for example.

That script is horrendous! I hope they do a major revamp on that thing!

In the context of that script? Yeah a little.

I'd prefer robots though. Also I don't think you understood what I was talking about before. Not saying anything about realism. Just that an army of fully trained ninjas in this day and age is silly too.

True, but Black Ops government ish is so played out. I think it'd be cool if they were more of a Yakuza type gang.

Robots are neato too though.

[The Stryker]

The Yakuza angle would be a good way to modernize the Yoshi portion of the origin actually.

How about 10 of him in ninja outfits?


The Yakuza stuff I could get behind.

Yeah but Batman and Robin was so hated that it took the studio almost 10 years and several reboot attempts to salvage the franchise. They pretty much had to wait for the public to forget how awful the last movie was. Not saying that will happen here but I care if this new film is like this and makes money. It sends the message they can put no thought or effort into something and make a profit.

You do realize they actually planned to make a Batman 5 with Scarecrow after Batman and Robin? And no, I don't mean Nolan's Scarecrow.

[Spitfire]

They planned a lot of things and none of them happened because the time wasn't right. They only started writing that because they liked the dailies of Batman and Robin. When the film got panned they trashed the idea. Then they planned a Batman Beyond film, TKR, a movie called DarKnight about Manbat and Scarecrow, Joel tried proposing a Year One film and so did several others, let's not forget Batman Vs Superman, and even Darren Aronofsky mused up an awful take on Batman that involved him living in a junkyard.

It effectively killed the franchise. And the fact the studio execs thought it looked awesome further proves how out of touch they are.

Uh-huh, that's why there were no Batman comics or DCAU shows for years after...ooooohhhh

I'm sure he's talking about the movie franchise.
