I feel like I could begin teaching a screenwriting class based on my process(es) as a screenwriter. Is that arrogance? I'm not sure.
My first class would revolve around Batman as a franchise. It is a gold mine of information. What to do and what not to do. It has mood, story, theme, structure, etc. A huge history. An iconic figure. It would be fun.
I blogged about rewriting the Dark Knight a while back (deleted them), and while I did that as an exercise, I tried teaching it in a class and it was a dismal failure. I didn't have the skills to communicate it well enough. I'm getting there, though.
