12 Comic Book Movie Rumours That Have Already Been Killed
3. The Batman Will Be Set Entirely In Arkham Asylum
The Rumour
Ben Affleck's The Batman would feature "almost all" of Batman's rogues' gallery and would be set inside Arkham Asylum.
The Killer Proof
Well, not entirely inside there, actually. According to Umberto Gonzalez, the film WILL include a trip to Arkham, but it won't be the only setting...
Would It Have Been Any Good?
Personally speaking, the most compelling idea for The Batman was to have Batman trapped inside with all of the inmates hunting him, just like in the excellent games. That way you get to see Batman in a wholly different light to what we're used to: he becomes the prey rather than the hunter - sort of like Die Hard with A Batman.
Tell me that's not a great idea.
