Description I decided my DCCU needed a bit of spicing up and I couldn't resist adapting this storyline at long last. I've cast Clint Eastwood as Batman/Bruce Wayne, David Bowie as the resurrected Joker, Pierce Bronson as Superman/Clark Kent and Ket Dennings as Carrie Kelly. I know Clint Eastwood's like 80 odd so if this were actually filmed then his face would probably have to be CGed in on the action bits and a stuntman would wear the batsuit. His first suit is just the same armour that was in my World's Finest film but with added age. The second one he develops throughout the film as with age he needs a proper armour. It's inspired by the classic TDKR suit and the Nolanverse suit. For Bowie's Joker I pretty much took inspiration straight from the comic once again but I kept the scars that my original film Joker had. For Superman I pretty much used the same design I usually use but I made a few minor changes: the logo resembles the one from Kingdom Come and I lowered his neck to resemble the comics more. With Carrie I didn't want her as Robin but her street clothes are minorly inspired by the outfit in the comics.

The plot of this film is pretty much identical to the comic save for a few changes. ForΒ a start, the Joker plays a much bigger role and the reason Batman comes out of retirement is because he has heard the news that the Joker has seemingly come back from the dead and is causing chaos. Also, the Mutant Gang do eventually side with batman but they'll keep their Mutants name and not "Sons of Batman" as I never liked that name much. The Joker firstly says that he wants to stop his life of crime and he has been given a second chance but we find out that's all lies. Also in this film Superman as well as being hired by the government is also a lot colder and dark now due to way of the world. Additionally this is set around 30-40 years in the future making Bruce around 70-80 instead of 55 like in the comics. He uses steroid and the venom Bane uses to keep on going along with technology. At the end of the film Batman wonders whether that Joker was the real Joker or just an imitator so it is never revealed how he came back or if he's even real.

Batman vs Superman = Clint Eastwood vs. Pierce Brosnan = Dirty Harry vs. James Bond

Pass the popcorn!
