  I completely agree with your prediction for where Part 2 needs to take Bruce as a character thematically. However, while I think some influences from Mask of the Phantasm would be incredible, I&apos;d argue that if they adapt it too closely, it would feel very derivative of the first film. Think about it. Andrea Beaumont is both an antagonist and love interest for Batman who is seeking revenge against a villainous character, and Batman stops her from killing them because he doesn&apos;t want her going down that path. In the end, she leaves Gotham, leaving Bruce to recommit himself to his mission. That is literally Selina&apos;s role in The Batman. So I would love to see elements of the animated film incorporated into this sequel, but it needs to be in a unique way.<br><br>I made a video on my channel about one way Scarlet Johanson&apos;s character might work with both Hush and the Court of Owls in this movie, if anyone wants to check it out.

  Respectfully, 1) Andrea Beaumont is a character created specifically for a film, she didn&apos;t hail from the comics originally, and even though we all love MotP, I don&apos;t think the suits at Warner/Netflix will be too pleased if Reeves doesn&apos;t choose a more well-known villain, if only for marketing reasons, recognizability factor and all ; 2) the dynamic you describe for The Batman Part II mirrors too closely that of Selina in the first film, where Bruce has to stop her from killing Falcone...

  I personally think Mr. Freeze would’ve been a flawless fit for this take on the caped crusader… Bruce’s ENTIRE arc in the 1st film centered around his fear of losing another loved one like he did his parents and coming to terms with his inability to control the factors threatening them while simultaneously working to prevent another little boy from having to ever go through that level of loss… Victor’s motivation of saving his wife from danger far beyond his reach is the perfect parallel / allegory . Bruce essentially just learned this lesson himself, and now, would have to face up against someone basically fighting for the same things he was, kind of like the contrast between him and Riddler in the first film but even more personal / emotional… &nbsp;he would want to help him as much as he wants to hurt him, which would make for quite the interesting dynamic! 🃏🦇

  This needs to be something original. I don’t want just a remake of the animated movie. It’s not a “great surprise” if we know she’s Beaumont.

  But didn’t we already do this overarching theme with the Riddler and Catwoman? The only difference would be that he dated this person before he was Batman.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wpa2g87AwE&amp;t=1366">22:46</a> keep in mind that they switch up names of the villains. Julian rush being scarecrow for example. Even if she is Harvey’s wife, it would be interesting is she also was somehow the fantasm

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wpa2g87AwE&amp;t=254">4:14</a> just listening and not laying a lot of attention...I thought &quot;who is this woman giving such an opinion?&quot; Lol. Reeves is great, but yeah, totally didn&apos;t expect that😊
