American Batman
My friend David inspired this one...He borrowed my copy of Batman Begins on New Year's Eve and returned it to me today at work. He loved it, but did comment that he just couldn't get the flashbacks of Christian Bale in character in American Psycho (also a great flick!).
It got me thinking, what if Lions Gate and Warner Brothers teamed up to make a hybrid? Bruce Wayne's intelligence and skill combined with Patrick Bateman's dimentia and mental schism. What kind of character would that yield? Okay, maybe someone like Two Face or the Joker, and we're all trying to forget that train wreck.
Maybe we could go with the subtle approach. We revisit the scene in which Batman has just stopped the Scarecrow from releasing his toxins into Gotham City's water supply. Batman has the Scarecrow cornered in the cellar of Arkham Asylum, and he happens to find an axe next to a firehouse in the stairwell.
