Agree. In my opinion, the hardest part would be marketing him to non-comic-book readers and preventing it from looking like a Batman ripoff.
Let’s be honest, Moon Knight, like Daredevil and honestly Iron Man, started out very much as a Batman ripoff. At least aesthetically. And when he became a hero instead of a villain.
Rich guy with butler goes on odyssey, has experience with elemental thing that informs elemental-thing-themed crimefighting efforts.
But the multiple personalities is a strong angle, as is the god shit. Now, he’s very much his own thing, like Daredevil — whose womanizing, Irish Catholic guilt and borderline personality disorder narcissism have set him apart. And Deadpool, who started as such a massive Deathstroke rip that it actually became a joke, has his own thing going on too.
I am all for it, and always have been.
And the fact that there’s a Batman shaped hole in the current superhero movie space also helps. I hope whatever they do with “THE BATMAN” is held off indefinitely, because fuck that shot. It’s like rebooting The Godfather at this point.
That said, I don’t know if Refn’s the guy for the job. But do you k kw what is funny?
When casting a potential post-Nolan Batman movie in my head, I picked the EXACT SAME ACTOR/DIRECTOR PAIR!!!
Then I saw “ARRIVAL” and “Blade Runner 2049” and decided Denis Villeneuve would probably be a more realistic (and perfectly suited) choice.
And slap some brown hair dye on Gosling’s golden locks, and you’ve got yourself a Bruce Wayne! Do a Court or Owls story where a young Batman is driven mad by a group of faceless aristocratic Illuminati types who poison him, and you have yourself a fresh Batman story with no need for an impossible Joker recast.
(Fun fact, Gosling auditioned for the role of Joker in THAT MOVIE WHICH SHALL NOT BE NAMED FOR A WHILE) and didn’t get it, because Ledger, who was approached to play *Batman* in Begins not said, “Nah, I’m on some serious actor shit now,” saw said film and decided he needed to be a part of what Nolan was doing. The rest is history!)
