They didn't stop making Dracula or Wolfman movies, did they? Freddy, Jason, and Michael have become the new "monsters." They're going to be redone time and time again because they've earned that status. They're just as iconic if not more than the old Universal baddies and iconic characters deserve to be retold throughout the years with different perspectives, actors, etc.
FanFiltration said:I also think a 3rd film is the best idea just to get this version of Batman into the bat cave, and into a kind of format that would work if the series was handed over to a new team (not re-booted}. But only if they plan to do a series of stories with an older Batman (and 12 year old Robin) a few years down the road from this one.
Well, if Nolan is in charge, you will never see Robin in any of the films. This is a young Batman and adding in a 12 year old who wears a bright red and green outfit really doesn't fit into this universe. And if they do bring in Robin, count on Bale leaving because he doesn't want Robin, either. I recall him saying something along the lines of he would chain himself outside WB studios to protest.
And with a new slate of DC films making their way toward production, I don't think that WB is really going to depend much on Batman. Green Lantern is getting released in two years and the Flash is getting his script written as we speak. So there's two franchises right there and you can never forget about Superman, even if WB is clueless on what they want to do with him. They've seen Marvel's success and the fact that Marvel's going to win the race of first mega-on screen treatment is making WB executives blood boil.
EyeShotFirst said:Well. I didn't like Batman Begins. And Christian Bale was annoying as batman. He grunted the whole damn movie. But it is my opinion. I would like another Batman movie as long as Johnny Depp isn't in it like some of the rumours are saying. But it has to be as good as Batman 2.
Damn, you don't like Batman Begins, that's bad enough, but don't tell me you think Batman Returns is great. That's even worse.
Actually the only batman I really liked was BATMAN. Dark Knight was good but I don't really see it as a batman movie. It was different which is why I liked it
It certainly is different. Batman killing people? What the fuck? But I find it pretty ironic that you feel TDK isn't a Batman movie, while enthusiasts such as myself feel that it captures every significant part of Batman into the ultimate Batman movie. Plus it gives the best ending in all of comic book film history, really showing the true nature of Batman.
