Why reboot at all? The term itself has begun to have, at least for me, a very negative meaning. It would be interesting to see a Batman set in the future, perhaps bringing Batman Beyond into the cinema or even elaborating on obscure protagonists associated with Batman. Beyond something totally new, I don't see a point in renewing the property every few years for the sake of profit or even for reinterpretation.

Dream picks? Nicolas Winding Refn, Rian Johnson, John Hillcoat, Andrew Dominik.

How bout a "Who could reboot Batman" feature?

How about a "Why not enjoy the countless Batman films/series/cartoons/comics/games/spin-offs/etc" feature?

As opposed to, before even being able to REVIEW the latest Batman film, wondering what kind of Batman we are going to get next?
The Internet is always so eager for the next thing, rather than the thing coming right up in fucking front of them…

That's good. IMO they should go with a completely different interpretation from Nolan's instead of trying to mimick it.

I say let this simmer for a bit. There's been 7 Batman movies since 1989 (that's roughly 1 release very 3-4 years), not to mention the countless interpretations in animation.

I think WB would earn a bit more good will if they sat on the property for a while before trying something new. Even the more glowing reviews of The Amazing Spider-Man make a point of wondering "why so soon?" out loud.

CinematicESP, Refn and Johnson are good picks. I'd also throw in Duncan Jones and Aranofski (not his old idea for the series but something new) as candidates along with Joseph Kosinski (Tron Legacy, Oblivion) as a dark horse.

Any potential new film needs to get back to the TV series. Camp, gaudy fun, dutch angles, anti-shark repellant… get McG to direct. Fun!

An Aronofsky Batman would likely be amazing, but I'd rather have him do his own thing than get tied up in a franchise. He probably thought the same thing when he bailed on Wolverine.

Nolan films were good but not perfect, always felt he didn't like Batman as his child superhero , he just accepted it from a creative point of view + to get famous

He added drama, story and revived Burton version but Burton version still the best 🙂

i'm not against a reboot if WB waits a few (5/10 years)

I'm pretty anti Justice League at this point, and Batman Beyond doesn't sound too amazing either. My opinion is this- Wait a few years, re-boot it (the NWR and Rian Johnson options sound good) and take on more detective-oriented stories, featuring never before seen (on screen) villians. No need to totally abandon realism but no need to stick to the each movie as a step in the "epic of legend of Bruce Wayne/Batman" either. Start with a fresh story (no origin story neccesaary), and start right at Batman in the prime of his career. It doesn't have to link up to Nolans universe but his stamp will still be fresh on peoples minds and he established a lot of key elements already, so a new movie could jump into a good and new story easily, without a lot of set-up.

Wait about 23 years, so that Bale is in his 60s. Then, directly adapt The Dark Knight Returns. Refn directs. Nicolas Cage as the joker. Kyle MacLauchlan as Two-Face. Michael Caine is still Alfred. We can't know who will play Carrie/Robin yet because she has not yet been born. Gary Old(old)man is still Gordon. Hathaway is still Selina Kyle. Keanu Reeves as Superman, obviously.

If there has to be a Batman reboot, please god, let it be this one.

guillermo del toro directs The Dark Night Returns….taking off along the lines of the Nolan stories. . . Bale can do it like nothing in the next 4 years and it would be great. then again a reboot with would be great imo, you cant have a batman without the superhuman aspects too im sorry.

ENOUGH with Batman movies. MOVE ON.

Am I the only person that wants to see the story line continued as it is left in Rises? Must Nolan be involved in extending this vision? I dont think so… more importantly bale, oldman, freeman, levitt and alfred need to come back and i am sure they could be persuaded to! This is the best take on a comic hero todate, as batman fans we are so lucky to have been able to enjoy this in our lifetime. But i state again why cann't we use this foundation as the back story for more movies? I do not feel this interpetation or story arch is finished or with the portential for even better storys in future films

I would very much like to see a Guillermo Del Toro directed batman film with Clayface as the villain. That would never fit into Nolan's realistic Batman universe, but I think it's perfect for Del Toro. I also think David Fincher could direct an awesome Batman rebbot, maybe with Mad Hatter or Killer Croc as the villain.
