Movies THE BATMAN (Dragonlord's Review)

[HereticBD]

Yeah, Se7en did, somewhat. But those were displayed in past-tense with the detectives arriving at the murder scenes.

The Saw series (mostly starting in Saw 2) showed the trap scenes as current events within the narrative. Saw 1 also borrowed from Se7en with the detective angle told in flashbacks.

Nah, not even Se7en. It depends how you look at it, really. There is an old Vincent Price movie that's very similar in structure to the SAW moveis, but if you're just talking elaborate villainous schemes/traps, shit, "Speed" could be a SAW trap. "Die Hard With A Vengeance" may as well be a SAW movie.

The whole concept of some mastermind creating elaborate traps, isn't original. It's...*looks at thread"...err...Riddler shit. SAW just nailed it, and bathed it in gore.

I'll give you that one.

As far as I know, Riddler in the comics never used elaborate murder devices. If I'm wrong I'm very open to being corrected.

Se7en came out in 1995, and the murders were basically 'do it or I'll shoot you anyway.'

Saw came out in 2004, and brought in complicated machinery... 'traps'... so the killer didn't need to be present.

So Riddler's 'traps' in are far more related to Saw, than Se7en.
