You would think the resident MCU cheerleader would appreciate that, since the majority of the MCU is far removed from the source in terms of tone, capturing the heart of classic stories, etc.

It's funny to me that a lot of fans praise the movie Civil War in part on that it was supposedly better than the comic which they regard as at least pretty bad.

I truly think that individuals are expecting a literal 1:1 replication of comic books in their films and that is just a recipe for disappointment.

And yet a few times purists are not disappointed by an adaptation so it may be difficult to please them, their standards may be high, but not impossible.
 
It doesn't seem to be The Long Halloween. It is reported as a Year 2 Batman detective story and the main villain appears to be The Riddler. We'll see though.
 
Penguin and Catwoman are in it too. With that many villains someone will have to be the main but might be none of the regulars. I could see them as the pieces put on a chess board for later.
 
Didn't Batman Begins already draw on "The Long Halloween" to some extent?
I think the long halloween had more drawn from it with TDK. But it was one of many comics that inspired The Dark Knight Trilogy. It doesn't preclude it from it being used again in other movies. The rumor is that this movie will be a more full on version of that.

I wouldn't mind seeing a live action version of "Year 2" with Batman fighting the Reaper.
Before Batman Begins came out the Reaper was rumored to be the reaper (probably because his back story was similar to Ducard/Ras losing his wife. I'd love to see Year Two also. Old vigilante vs. New vigilante with different crime fighting philosophy.

"The Dark Knight" had more comparison to "The Long Halloween" compared to "Batman Begins" Year One influence

The actors are even standing in the same spots as the graphic novel characters

I'm not sure Catwoman is really going to be a villain, these days she's presented as love interest for more often than a full on villain.

She hasn't really been a full on villain in....what, decades now? She's probably be a wild card character in this.
 
Any word on when filming might resume? I kind of wonder if the longer the social distancing goes on, not just in England but across the globe, the chances are the film might get pushed back into 2022 in order to complete the VFX and score.
