Dudenuva Begins
Now that I've pulled you all in with a variation on Batman Begins, I can get semi-into the topic.
First off, I've been recently scouring the internet searching for soundtracks (checking websites such as Rhapsody, Amazon, and the like), and I found several good ones. Now, unfortunately, they don't include Batman Begins. So I'm still in a tight spot there.
However, The Dark Knight, Dead Man's Chest, and At World's End were all there. So I bought several of the MP3's from each of those Pirates albums (about five each) for a reasonable price. I'm actually going to find The Dark Knight and simply buy it, for the entire soundtrack is awesome.
So I'm starting up a large library of my own.
In other news, I'm also slowing amassing a collection of modern Lego accessories, and building a fair-sized cast of minifigures that fit the Batman theme. And here's why... sometime in the future, I'll be making a series of Lego Batman movies.
They'll all be inspired by the two Chris Nolan films, as opposed to the comics (on which the sets are based). Villains will include the Joker, Ra's Al Ghul, the Scarecrow, and others. It will take place between the narrow time period between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, when the Scarecrow is at large, the Joker is beginning his crime wave, and Ra's is... assumedly... dead.
Brand new minifigures will be made for this. They'll all be fleshie, of course, and many of them will use already-made Lego Batman pieces; they'll just have some real-life Nolan twists. The three aforementioned villains will be modeled off of their movie counterparts, while other villains (such as Mr. Freeze and Harley Quinn) will be adapted myself.
Other figures will include a Lt. Gordon figure, which I've already made; several Gotham cops, all looking scruffy and possibly bent. (Not literally.) The Batman figure I'm using is the newest one, which looks most like the Batman from the Nolan films (thanks for that suggestion, Laughin'Man!), and most other characters will be created from the ground up.
I'll also be constructing a formidable replica of several Gotham City sectors for this.
As you might know from seeing some of my Lego Star Wars films in the past (and you'll definitely know from watching Imperial Inspection, which will be released before the end of September), I make high-quality films. I'm not just going to say, "Hey, this'll be fun!" I'm going to, to the best of my ability, recreate the aura that Chris Nolan invented for his modernized Batman films.
The plate of Legosfilm Ltd is full. Get ready to eat.
