who was it that called RJ Robert the other day, and then no one called them out on it, I was sure RJ's name was Richard, but when someone said Robert and it was never corrected I was doubting myself!!

anyway. I think the Nolan Bat-suit is too battle armoury, something like the Arkham Asylum (game) suit looks and feels more like panels of kevlar rather than carbon fibre and metal, like the Nolan bat-suit does.

an interesting idea for a movie would actually be to do something head-fucky Morrisson-esque like Arkham Asylum (book) or "batman is just as insane as his foes" Miller-esque like DKR, or (god forbid) All-star BnR or even Moore-esque and do something like the Killing Joke, maybe a direct adap of that would piss Alan off though.
Nolan has already touched on Loeb-esque, but Long Halloween and Dark Victory are probably the best detective-batman books I've read.

The same way they made it work in the animated series. And in Tim Burton's Batman. Really, there are art deco influences in that movie as well. Both managed to make the time period kind of vague. The art deco influence is just that, an influence. You don't have to make everything look like the 30's/40's, just use it as a stepping stone. Plus, the idea that filming it would be a hassle is kind of ridiculous. You can use sets. You can use CGI. Movies do this all the time. You're really only limited by your budget and your imagination. As for the tech, same thing, they can design it however they want. Actually, it would be kind of neat to see Batman's technology based on 1940's ideas of what the future would be like:







It would depend on how young Robin is, wouldn't it? And does Robin need to be in this?

The reboot needs some huge, bold creative decision to set it apart from the Nolan trilogy. It needs to do something that Nolan never would and it needs to explore the character of Batman in some way that Bale never got to. In my opinion, Robin fits the bill perfectly.

Personally, I'm a bit a weary of a live-action Robin--and yes, I realize that has a lot of that has to do with the Schumacher films--as if handled improperly, could descend too much into camp.

Also, a film done in the style of BTAS would be fucking brilliant. But of course that won't happen because that would be taking an artistic risk.

I think robin would possibly work if done like All Star BnR, where batman basically abducts a young boy who he thinks has potential, and then basically brainwashes him into joining his fight.

All-Star Batman and Robin is just...just terrible. If they go the Robin route, it should be like Dark Victory.

So how old should Batman be in this reboot?

Oh hell no, not after last time.



If anything, get that kid from Percy Jackson to play Robin.

By older, I'm pretty sure he mean Batman needs to be older, not Robin.

A reboot isn´t necessary per se. Just broaden the horizons of those in charge of continuing the journey. A director more open the supernatural and sci-fi aspect of Batman. And for the love of God, bring back the no kill rule again...


As to the acting talent, time to go for older Wayne, in his forties, to acomodate the future inclusion of Robin, and do that "They already know each other." JL movie...

Not sure I understand.

Everything that happen in BB,TDK and TDKR is canon, but just stop the "realism" bullshit, and start getting into Freeze,Poison Ivy, on top of supernatural villains like Ra´s Al Ghul...

Christopher Nolan would probably sue someone if they did that.

That all depends on how the movie ends, doesn't it? If Bruce Wayne is still alive, or if he's even still Batman.

Mmmmh...smells like a bad idea!

No one is saying that the next Batman needs to be a reboot, but it'd be extremely idiotic to continue the Nolan films. The Nolanverse as a beginning, middle, and end (even if Wayne survives, there's no way Rises ends with Batman living another day to fight crime)--the next Batman film should be something completely different.

That and it'd be really weird if that world suddenly shifted to a more fantastical tone.

The flavour, characters, and threads of the Nolan films end next week. The reboot will fit snugly in style and tone with the Man Of Steel movie, which will also lead the tone for the JLA film (because the set-up with Snyder and Nolan on M.O.S. will set the template for other directors) following Marvel's lead, and will have nothing to do with the TDK film series in any way. Anything else is wishful thinking.

And where the hell does this 'no kill' bollocks come from again? Surely a late addition to Batman's ethical code. Batman #01 from Detective Comics 27 has bats throwing fellers off roofs, and at one point into an acid bath, saying 'A fitting end for his kind.' Now, that's my Batman!

What is it about people who can't stand Batman not killing ?

Do people like their superheroes being self-entitled delusional assholes or something ?

Unless Batman has no choice (and that is a situation I'd like to see more often in his comics) I would like it if Batman's "no killing" rule would stay.................for good !
