Two brushes recently.
The whole film is composed of six short films with different styles, independent but still related.
The first short film once persuaded me to quit: the style of painting is amazing! But fortunately, I kept watching. Although it is a Batman movie, the protagonists of the entire short film are not Batman, but four children. This kind of narration is more common in comics and articles, but rarely appears in movies, because this kind of narration is difficult to write into a two-hour movie and can only be presented in such a short film. At the same time, unlike other superhero movies, this movie does not set up a traditional story of a super villain who conspires to destroy the world and the superhero eventually saves the world, but focuses on one "small story" to dig out the already well-known dark knight. Some features of the image. In the first story, four children show off to their friends the Batman they "see": the first child claims that Batman is a "shadow monster" who can teleport into shadows; the second child claims that Batman is a flying The third child claims that Batman is a superhero like Iron Man, using various armors to fight, and jumping across the entire building... Using a third-party perspective to convey Batman in the eyes of the public The image of this is not seen in many old manga comics before. But in the end, Batman appeared, without armor, still in the classic dress of the tights, with all the injuries, and finally relying on the child to save him. Using a contrasting method, it shows that the mythical master among the people is actually fighting with a mortal body.
Oh, by the way, the villain in the first short film, I still don't know who he is, maybe he is a passerby... This is also a more prominent feature of the film, focusing on "small battles".
The second short film is to hand over the perspective to the police, and start the narrative with the two classic partner police detectives of GCPDMCU. Among them, Inspector Allen is one of the few police officers who are honest and have a skeptical attitude towards Batman, the "Vigilante". The story unfolds as they send a criminal to Black Gate Prison. It can be speculated from some clips that the central city of Gotham was isolated from the outside world at that time, and the crime rate was extremely high. Judging from the color of Sheriff Gordon's hair, it's a story from Batman's debut. (So some people complain that this movie is bad, but some details are really only seen by old fans.) This story environment lays the groundwork for the following, as Sheriff Gordon said to Detective Allen, due to the harsh criminal environment at that time , and it really needs a "Vigilante" like Batman to save the city. On the way back from the prison, the two detectives happened to meet two gangsters: Maroni and some unknown Russian criminals. (Maroni's status can match that of Falcon, the first gangster when Batman debuted, so it can be seen that this is an early story.) In the process of fighting, Batman appeared to save the two detectives, and the story came to an abrupt end. Leaving an open ending, causing the audience to wonder if Detective Allen's attitude towards Batman has changed,
Third story...emmm. The most alternative Bruce Wayne in history appeared. The perspective also gave us Batman, telling Batman's technical support Lucius Fox to provide Batman with an EMP that can turn the bullet, so that Batman is not damaged by light weapons, it has to be said that it is an artifact. But in one battle (yes, Maroni and the Russian leader again), the EMP hit a criminal with a stray bullet, nearly bleeding him to death. Afterwards, Batman voluntarily returned the EMP, and he was more afraid of other people dying than his own injury.
The next few stories are more traditional, and some classic villains have also appeared. The fourth story is that Batman hunted down the crocodile and the scarecrow. The master was bitten by the crocodile as soon as he appeared, so he fell into an illusion, but he still relied on his own willpower to overcome the illusion.
The fifth story follows on from the fourth, which begins with Batman being shot, thus providing an interlude about Bruce's early years of spiritual practice: how he overcomes pain (both physically and mentally). Interestingly, at the end of the story, the Prophet looked at Bruce after he left and said meaningfully: "Actually, I didn't help you, you came to me to overcome the pain, but you pursued more than this, your path. It's led by pain." At the same time, the camera flashes back to now, Batman accidentally discovered the guns hidden by criminals in the sewers, which means the rampant crime in Gotham City, which is also the "pain" that leads Bruce forward. The last shot is of Al coming to pick him up and reaching out to Bruce who is in the sewer with guns in both hands. But Bruce said, "I can't let it go," pun. I can't let go of the gun in my hand, and I can't let go of the pain in my heart. No matter how gentle Al was, he couldn't pull Bruce's heart into darkness.
The last story to come out is Deadshot. Not much to say about the plot, but two points are more interesting. One is at the beginning, the master looks at the firearms collected (don't know the ones in the fifth story?) and claims that he has never used a gun. After defeating Deadshot in the finale, he said that although he stopped Deadshot's bullets, he could never stop the two bullets in Crime Alley that year. I think this hints at the reason why the master doesn't use guns, and to a certain extent it also explains why the master doesn't kill people.
