Probably a short which they'll show at Botcon.

One big difference would probably be that the Batman writers probably knew more about the Batman mythos than the TF writers did about Transformers. I mean, personally, I would think that if they had to be sent to "Transformers school" to become educated, via cram session, about the background stories, & all they can really get out of it are A) blocky robots are crap, & B) "Wasn't there a scorpion among the mix? Landshark!!"....they probably weren't the best guys for the job.sto_vo_kor_2000 wrote:Batman begins writters were just better writters then Bay's Transformers writters......and thats why I fear the outcome of the new Star Trek film.

The director is a serious guy who isn't regarding the film as a kiddie product that doesn't need to make sense, and the writer pretty much got into script writing in the hope of one day being able to work on a Batman movie. Guess what? Nolan and Goyer made a better movie.

But that could have all been a load of BS.

Read some of the publicity when the Batman & Robin movie came out, and you'll hear about what a big fan Joel Schumacher was from childhood, how Batman was his favourite comic, and what an honour it is to be bringing it to the screen, how he gets heaps of inspiration from the comics etc.
They're all a bunch of Hollywood phonies.
A least when Michael Bay talks about old-school transformers you get a more honest sense of his veiled contempt for the franchise.

You forget that the Batman comic itself changed a lot in the 50+ years before his movies.
Sledge wrote:Batman and Robin sucked because the studio wanted more gadgets and costume changes to sell toys. Batman Forever, Chris O'Donnell (the Great Unpleasantness) aside, was a pretty good film. Kilmer was, for my money, a better Batman than Keaton or Clooney, and the villains weren't bad either. A decent family film, just not the sort of thing to appeal to the more noir-obsessed Batfan.
Bumblethumper wrote:Having every issue of Detective Comics on my hard drive, I can tell you, I'm well aware of that. Maybe that's a bad example, but it's such a superficial movie that I don't believe for a instant that Schumacher was a big fan. I think he smelled money.
Bumblethumper wrote:Nevertheless I think the Schumacher movies were in their way at least as true to Batman as Batman Begins. The villains of Batman Begins were weak and colourless, the antithesis of even the most drab of the comics.
What ruined all of them was poor taste.

I wonder what the odds are of them flexing their corporate muscles and reigning Bay and his...shall we say 'creative liberties' in for the next films?
Probably zero nad none, but it still seems pretty evident that they were testing the water with this vid. I think if Tf's made a big screen appearance like this it would sink 'Titanic,' or at least come in a close second.

If there was enough of a demand, they might try to make a direct to DVD movie like that.Big Convoy wrote:Now that is how the movie should've looked like, forget how the looked like in that 2007 movie, these are how Transformers look like.
Too bad we'll never see a live action movie like that.
