God damn, people are expecting another Batman reboot?! Sony's doing it with Spider-Man, and people were pissed about that. The origin story has been told, so they just need to continue the story and make it an actual series.

That goes for Spidey and Batman.

This movie had a very anti-Communist slant. Selina walks into the trashed penthouse and says "This used to be somebodies home" and Holly pipes in "But now it belongs to the people!" Then Selina looks around at the ruins like "This whole collectivism thing was a bad idea."

There was a time while I watching the film when I thought they were lesbians. That scene contributed to the theory.

Nolan wanted it to be a trilogy. I think the reboot is ok because the director felt like he told a complete story. It's an artistic reason, not a business on. Besides, it'll be easier to tie in to a JLA movie with a complete reboot. In this series, Brice Wayne is done being Batman. He's passed on the mantle. When people see a Justice League movie, they wanna see Bruce Wayne as Batman. That's the mainstream status quo.

No one but Bruce Wayne should be Batman (in the current timeframe, it's OK in the future of Gotham to have Terry McGinnis as Batman Beyond). I don't care what Nolan wanted, though the way TDKR ended, it makes sense to scrap the whole thing and create another new universe. With the new one, I hope it follows the traditional Batman story more (especially B:TAS). Not saying I didn't like the Nolan movies (though the first 45 minutes of BB is boring as hell).

Not my favorite movie, that's the Dark Knight, but a really good, tense popcorn flick.

I really wish Bane and Batman did more. They met twice; Batman lost, then he won. I also wanted Bane to punch someone through a wall. Is that too much to ask?

Batman: TAS is somewhat based on the Tim Burton films (in addition to the comics).

If the Batman film series is rebooted again, I hope they go for a more gothic look, since it fit the character well in the Burton films. I just don't see how a modern day "New York" fits the Batman mythos.

Stogi · « **Reply #56 on:** July 25, 2012, 05:48:01 PM »

If they do reboot it, they should use the Batman Beyond formula.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #57 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:16:00 PM »

I'm okay with Batman Beyond. Do a Batman beyond trilogy and it would some space before the next Batman movie proper.

broodwars · « **Reply #58 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:22:06 PM »

A trilogy of Batman Beyond movies would be awesome. I'll take that over another Batman movie reboot in a heartbeat.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #59 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:41:59 PM »

Shia Lebouff as Terry, Clint Eastwood as Bruce?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #60 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:46:16 PM »

Please, no. Keep LeBeouf away from any Batman Beyond movie, I don't want to see him as Terry McGinnis.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #61 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:53:34 PM »

What kind of name is Shia Lebouf anyway? Sounds like the name you'd give a poodle.

Stogi · « **Reply #62 on:** July 25, 2012, 09:09:18 PM »

I actually think Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be great. After all, the Batman in Batman Beyond still has to deal with his parents, little brother and girlfriends. He has to be a bit socially awkward as well as a bad ass, and I've seen Joseph be both.

As for Bruce, I would say the Colonel from Avatar.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #63 on:** July 25, 2012, 09:37:31 PM »

Man, that Colonel in Avatar was awesome. Remember where he is chasing and shooting and he runs out of the air so he just holds his breath and keeps going? I was rooting for him to beat those blue forest hippies.

Agreed. They'd have to rework the Beyond suit so it didn't look so...basic, but this could work.

Actually, I agree with this. Nolan's cityscape always seemed far too clean and modern for Batman... especially given the tone he was aiming for. I would have liked a bit more of Burton's aesthetics in place for how Gotham itself looked. Gothic skyscrapers simply fit.

So how about bringing back Michael Keaton as Batman again? Or is he too old now?

Considering how old Bruce Wayne is in Batman Beyond, I don't think age would be a problem. Personally, though, I'd rather they just dubbed Kevin Conroy in over whatever Live Action actor.

: Coincidentally, I just started watching the short-lived WB series Birds of Prey, and it's kind of bizarre how they dubbed Mark Hamill's voice over the live action Joker's performance.

nickmitch · « **Reply #68 on:** July 26, 2012, 02:18:15 AM »

Or maybe Jon Voight. He's 73.

Anyway, Batman Beyond wouldn't work with a Justice League tie-in, taking place in the future and what not.

Stogi · « **Reply #69 on:** July 26, 2012, 04:23:56 AM »

Why does it have to?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #70 on:** July 26, 2012, 06:31:51 AM »

There is a Justice League in the future anyways, which includes Static (a underrated DC superhero) and Warhawk (the child of John Stewart Green Lantern and Hawkgirl).

This isn't a Great Superhero movie, it is a Great movie. This has to be the only movie that has managed to draw tears twice let alone once. Goddamn Michael Cain. It is a wonderful way to end the trilogy. With this I don't think I can watch another superhero movie satisfactory again. It is a very natural, unforced movie that is emotionally driven. TDKR is a emotional movie where the characters are more important that the plot. There are a handful of technical errors like time continuity coming out for the Stock Exchange transitioning between Day and night too quickly. But the sum of the parts far out weight the flaws that is present.

The length felt necessary since other would have cut it into two films or cut the movie to ribbons.

I made a real effort to avoid the out of the marketing of this movie so when Talia came up I was blindsided. I should have seen it coming. Also this is the only Batman movie I have actually cared about Batman/Bruce. Anne really sold Catwomen and her story was grounded.

Unfortunately the Goddamn theater had it way too loud distorting everything making Bain's voice almost inaudible.

If there is one movie you would want to see in the theaters, it's this one.

If age is no obstacle, then how about Adam West? He's 83. He's the original Batman from the '70s.

Plugabugz · « **Reply #73 on:** July 26, 2012, 09:57:39 AM »

I can't take Adam West seriously as a result of Family Guy.

But no, Adam West is older than Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman and both of them are "walk and talk actors" now. So i can't see what Adam West would do that the other two didn't.

oohhboy · « **Reply #74 on:** July 26, 2012, 12:51:43 PM »

Didn't you see Morgan Freeman jump up that ladder? The man has some action films in him yet.
