New Batman reboot coming...

[Grissom]

Some great discussions there and to be honest I WOULD like to see a more Burton Batman if you will, more along the lines of Batman '89 and Batman Returns and even, as someone said, more supernatural/fantasy type villains. My main concern is Nolan overlooking this reboot, even if they go more fantasy, Nolan might still want that hard edged seriousness, that expository type dialogue etc.

I like Nolan, I think he's a great filmmaker, but stay away from the franchise, even just for a while.

I read and watched an interview with Bruce Timm saying Batman Year One will be the next DC Direct Animated Movie.
Anyone know anything about the cast?

I didn't even know they were planning this! I hope they pull it off, they're DTV track record is rather hit and miss.

As far as a Batman reboot, I don't want one. As "stale"(matter of opinion) as the Bond franchise has become, I would rather they go that route. Each director of the Bond films bring their own style to the one they are working on, yet it is within the same continuity (Casino Royale is the only exception). You CAN apply this to Batman, and it would guaranty that any and all aspects of Batman would and could be represented within the series, much like a different writer and artist bringing their own stamp to the comics.

I'm confused. Is this guy a spammer trying to sell stuff or is he a truly disturbed individual who speaks only in Nike analogies?
Boy, he could be the lamest Batvillain ever!

Yeah, some sort of weird spam thing. it's gone now.

I'm with Dark Knight. Time to reboot after TDKR. I want a more fantasy Batman film where we can get more of the comic book villains than the constraints Nolan has.

Good. You're either with me or against me.

A great new foray into the bats' universe could be a decent into the mist...

Vampires are real...but not all of them are evil. (Or frosty haired metrosexuals.)

The Burton series has run its course, but a similar series would be great. The Nolan films were great action flicks, but the Burton films have a more classic feel to them. Of course, Batman '89 seems like it could exist anytime, wheras the super-realistic Nolan films are only current. Hopefully, they can make something original, that hasn't been done before. I take it they want it to be a long series, so just start Batman in the middle of his adventures, and let the comic stories unfold.
