If not Nolan, than who?

Joel Schumacher, of couse! ;) :D

I laughed so hard i think i coughed up a lung.

Actually i really like the idea of Frank Darabont, Hes one of few Directors to actually cast people that are right for the role even If there a huge star or not.

Today, I guess the equivalent would be McG or Michael Bay...or worse, Paul W S Anderson... :-X
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

Now Paul THOMAS Anderson would be an interesting replacement. Though yeah, Mann would be the logical choice since I believe Nolan has stated that he was inspired by a particular film of his for 'The Dark Knight'.

Paul Thomas Anderson is currently my favourite newish director, although I can't see him doing a comic book movie.  If he did though, I know it'd be amazing!

Agreed. I don't see PTA doing any film related to comic books anytime soon, and if he did, you know it wouldn't be a sequel. But the idea of PTA directing a Batman film is an interesting thought. I'm sure it would be nothing short of spectacular.

Before he did the abortion otherwise known as Lady In The Water, I would've suggested M. Night Shayamasahasyashayalanan.

But between that and The Happening... ugh, no thanks.

Has Frank Darabont ever made a movie that's not a Stephen King adaptation?  Meh, he might do okay, although I question his action chops.

Michael Mann would be an excellent choice, but I doubt it's a realistic one. I don't think an acclaimed 65 year old director would "waste" his time with a movie that's not only comic book, but a sequel as well. This is the prime reason it appals me to see people suggest Mann - it could never happen.

Somone like Fincher? Fincher (alongside Alex Proyas) were mentioned a lot during the "Dark Ages" of Batman movies.

Funny you mention Alexa proyas, I've always thought of him as a future director of Batman, he handles action very well and manages to get some pretty good performances out of his actors not to mention he has an acute visual style. Zack Snyder and JJ Abrams are two other directors I would also highly consider

But here's hoping that Burton returns some time in the future to do Batman again, whether it be a Dark Knight Returns or Batman Beyond type with an older Bruce Wayne.

I can hope...right?  ;)
