This is only my opinion but I think when the Batman Reboot comes after The Dark Knight Rises....that Gary Busey would be great as the Joker...thought that might be typecasting

there's a batman reboot ALREADY planned? wtf?

Yeah...apparently The Dark Knight Rises is the last one of Christopher Nolan's Batman movie then they are planning to reboot it.... in an ultimate plan for a Justice League movie....and Superman is getting a reboot as well

and also does anyone want to do a photo shop of this and post it back her...the way he smiles I just think he would be a great Joker....or maybe the Mad Hatter (from the batman universe)

That's the worst thing ever.

Hopefully the re-boot will be better than the Nolan series. I want a Batman universe not a ultra-realistic one (Batman isn't ultra realistic and thus shouldn't be treated as such). Gotham City didn't feel like Gotham City AT ALL. Nolan failed in that regards. The Batman costume in the Nolan films is the second worst I've seen (first was the Adam West Batman Costume) and the Batman voice was just plain obnoxious and awful. That's just to start with.

Hopefully a re-boot will do better.

A reboot will fail because the Dark Knight set the bar so high that everything will be compared to it and fail.

It's just doomed already.

I firmly believe that Ice Flash is in the minority here. The Batman trilogy has been so good, and Christopher Nolan has been spot on with his choices of villains, so far. Let's hope that "Dark Knight Rises" continues the string of over-the-top Batman movies. I watch "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" on a regular basis.

Since I was in the original TV series with Adam West and Burt Ward, I can tell you that the show itself was strictly a comic book version of the legendary 'Bat' man. And the costumes for him and Robin were directly based on the comic books.

I think that if Warner Bros. does it all right, we will have a "Justice League" movie in the can by 2014. Lots of questions about who would be playing The Flash and Wonder Woman.

Yeah, it's not like Burton's Batman wasn't a huge box office success .

I have to say that a reboot could potentially be really interesting. Nolan's version is alright, but there's still plenty of room for improvement. A bit more fantasy would do the character justice.

Yes, I was reading in Warner's game plan is now that the "Potter" films are done, they want to turn to DC Comic book heroes (finally) with "The Green lantern" being possibly the first is a series of film (like Marvels) that could lead to a "Justice League" film They would need to re-boot "Batman" as Nolan's version was never meant to co-exist with other heroes. But what I heard was that the "Superman" re-boot would have nothing to do with "Justice League," but rather would be treated like the current "Batman" films, and that it is even possible the new "Batman" film may not even have anything to do with "Justice League," and that they may have two Batmen and Supermen at the same time. If that is true, I think that is dumb.

My biggest pet peeve about the Nolan series (besides how violent it got in TDK) is that it feels more like a crime drama then a super hero series. Which is great for people who get into that stuff, but if I pay good money to see a comic book film, I was to see a comic book film! Then, the fact that Nolan put the kibosh on Robin or the Justice League kind of ticked me off to the series.

I think Marvel is kicking DC's butt right now when it comes to live action films. Marvel gets in, DC is late to the party. I hope the next "Batman" films finally bring Batman into the larger DC world on the big screen. This is my hope.

I remember people saying the same thing about "Batman Begins." You know what one of the best things about Batman is and why I think he has been so popular for so long? He is versatile. He has been interpreted in so many different ways, each way a success for the time period. I mean this guy has gone from campy like the 1960's version to dark and broody like "The Dark Knight Returns" version and various versions in between. I think it is safe to say their is a Batman for everyone at this point.

So, I don't think a new "Batman" film series will be doomed just becuase it is made after the Nolan series. If it's good, people will come. It's doesn't have to shatter box office record like TDK did to be good, and if it really brings Batman into the larger world of the DC Universe, I say it's about time!

Was burton rebooting the franchise a mere 3-5 years after the last reboot ended?

That said, I hope they keep some of the ultra-realism. The Nolan films are stylized still, so I dont see too much of a problem.

Their not going to stick so close to the "ultra-realism" after the next one. The whole point is to push Batman back into the fantastic enough that he doesn't stick out too much in a DC Cinematic Universe! Expect the next series, while not fully abandoning the realistic approach, to pull closer to fantasy then the current series.

As I said, I for one will be happy to see that. We need to get a DC Cinematic Universe going and Superman and Batman need to be part of it, assuming Superman isn't split in two by the current court battle. Really dumb what's going on in that.

As long as there is no craziness of Batman Credit Card and Joel Schumacher stays away I'll watch it.....

No, did I say that? I just responded to Patrick saying that because The Dark Knight was such a success, everything after it will fail. Burton's Batman was a great success, and that got rebooted too (twice, if you count the Schumacher movies as a reboot). As for a new movie, I'd love to see Bruce Timm get a load of cash to get a proper animated Batman on the big screen. Mask of the Phantasm was excellent, but I really think they can do even better. In any case, the Batman movies need a little bit more fantasy than they do now.

Ugh, Nolan is such an amazing director, I don't understand why The Dark Knight ended up like it did.

I hope whatever the reboot does Frank Millar's Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, even though it involves a middle-aged Batman. It's my favourite Batman comic.

I think it's due to the untimely death of Heath Legder and Nolan didn't want to use someone else to fill the roll....I kinda have mixed emotions about that...I kinda think the Show must go on and they should find a new guy, but I think it's out of respect to the memory of Heath Ledger that they don't want to replace him...although I would like to hear something in the new movie of The Joker died or something to that effect just to bring closure and continuity of the bridging the movies...
