Zach Cregger’s Dream DC Movie Would Take After a Great ‘Batman’ Episode

Zach Cregger, the director of the horror hit "Barbarian," has expressed his desire to helm a DC movie called "Henchman." The film would follow the story of a Gotham City goon who decides to take down the Batman after a harrowing encounter. However, the narrative twist is that the audience may not know whether the goon actually succeeded in his mission or not. Cregger's inspiration for this concept comes from the acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series episode "Legends of the Dark Knight," which explores the different perspectives and rumors surrounding the Dark Knight's exploits. The director believes that this approach would allow for a unique and thought-provoking take on the superhero genre, as the audience is left to question the reliability of the goon's narrative. While the film is currently just an idea, Cregger's enthusiasm for the project and his admiration for the source material suggest that "Henchman" could be a refreshing and innovative addition to the DC cinematic universe if given the opportunity to be developed.
