Batman Movies

The Batman movie franchise actually began in 1943 with serialized matinees that put the kiddies to sleep in glorious black and white. And lest we forget, the more colorful and much more cornball 60's Batman TV series spawned a movie that wasted valuable theater time as well. But in modern times, 1989's Batman, directed by goth filmmaker Tim Burton truly started to see the vision--even with the choice of comedic actor Michael Keaton in the lead role, and Jack Nicholson as "The Joker". While a bit over-the-top, the flick made enough money to get sequels started and Burton returned with villains Catwoman and The Penguin for 1992's Batman Returns. But he soon left us with Joel Schumacher and replacement Batman Val Kilmer for 1995's Batman Forever. With a gay director at the helm, the focus became style over substance, neon and a desecration of the batsuit with nipples and codpiece. By 1997, Batman & Robin finally killed the first franchise with George Clooney in the starring role and an overabundance of co-stars and villains. With 6, count 'em, 6 big name stars in the roles of Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane, the final movie didn't have enough time for a storyline. After and 8-year hiatus, Warner Bros rebooted the Bat-films with 2008's Batman Begins. Director Christopher Nolan brought about a more serious treatment with Christian Bale as Batman/Bruce Wayne. This re-energized the franchise and 2008's The Dark Knight is currently the biggest comic book movie of all-time. As of this writing, the franchise is secure, and several more sequels are guaranteed.

An insider source has contacted CBM editor Brent Sprecher with some tantalizing details about the plot for Batman 3!
Brent Sprecher - 1/27/2010

This months report of 'People that were involved in making 'The Dark Knight' that have no knowledge of a sequel' news is getting deep. My prediction is that soon everyone involved making 'The Dark Knight' will sooner or later step forth and say they have no knowledge of a 'Batman 3.'
PLUS: CorndogBuglar brings up the very excellent question: "Should The Joker and Robin be in the third Nolan Batman Film?"

Sorry, you won't have a clue what they are saying (unless you speak French of course) but you will get to see the awesome new trailer for the movie Nolan felt was worthy of taking time out from giving us another Batman to direct...

I know some folks from Turkey and well, it's sligthly more complicated than that ...

Kurds are sort of separatists, that want their own state (not only in Turkey, but also in Iraq); Turks says its bullshit and call a lot of Kurds terrorists (and they call their party, PKK i think, terrorist organisation - and they sort of are - visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdistan_Workers_Party ). Plus, Turks have very strange history with other nations (ever heard about Armenian genocide?)

so, I wouldn't be SO sure this guy is a terrorist... yeah, its kind of complicated in Turkey
(that doesn't change the fact that guy is an absolute moron)

Not sure what that Turkish comment has to do with batman, but this list should have Batman the Movie, with Adam West. Although the show will probably never be released, the film has been for awhile.

i am really bored of villains in batman remade again!
zadisma - 1/11/2009, 1:21 PM
you telling me you didnt like the joker in the dark knight
jackAlope - 1/24/2009, 9:22 PM
No worries, guys. You know Marvel & DC. They'll Ret-con anything that has to do with a major character dying. I wouldn't be surprised if Martian Manhunter comes back as a Black Lantern. If they do it with Bats, it will be temporary though. If Marvel can't even let a hack like Magneto die with out creating a ridiculous clone story and contridicting the Xorn arc, to bring his sorry fascist ass back, there's no way that DC will let a franchise like Bruce Wayne die. Just give it a year or so. If there's two dc characters that will never change or die for long, it's supes and bats.
PS: Final Crisis may be the best Darkseid story ever told. And that's saying a mouthful.

It would be cool to see some of the more exceptional villians make it into a batman movie. Though i love Nolans basis in a more "real" world for batman, I think that also kind of neuters the possibility of bringing villians like Croc, Clayface, Man-bat, etc into the movies. So we're stuck with endless remakes of Joker, Penguin, Riddler, and Two face...anything else puts it on calbur with Spider man.
CyborgNinja - 2/16/2009, 3:20 PM
how could you dislike the dark knight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
legder20 - 2/17/2009, 9:18 AM
TDK is an Awesome pic!!!! WATCHMEN gonna be good!!! WARNERS has uped the anti!!!! No more CATWOMAN!!! As for CATWOMAN and RIDDLER etc!!!!! Ive always said, lets do new villains,,, other villains need the big screen treatment ie DEADSHOT, BLACK MASK, DEATHSTROKE etc etc even shock MANBAT if they could do it right but not him yet though! WARNER BROTHERS :thumbs
LEEE777 - 2/24/2009, 3:02 AM
Going to be good? Hell, WATCHMEN was the comicbook movie of the decade!!!! ; ) Oh yeah RIDDLER would suck in BATS 3!!! Need new blood, BLACK MASK, etc, oh and a cameo of DEADSHOT!!!! Could actually tie in with SUICIDE SQUAD then!!! More butts on chairs WARNERS!!! ; )
LEEE777 - 4/6/2009, 2:10 PM
Batman vs Predator, the movie!
falconfan75 - 4/23/2009, 6:26 AM
i like the idea of new villains but i really want to see the riddler, and he should be an investigator with an obsessive compulson who becomes more and more unhinged in the investigation of who is the batman. he goes to the point of actually harming people in trying to bring batman out in the open. i also think for the third film it would be cool to see anarky, but age him up a little, to say in his early to mid twenties, and make him an even more dangerous vigilante than batman is, in his private life he should be the mirror image of bruce wayne, and bruce should question through the movie is this where i'm heading.

i can see the trailer now, after all the flashy images of batman, riddler and anarky and the cool soundtrack, christian bales batman voice does a voice over saying 'is this where i'm heading... is this what i'll become... will i always be on the edge of the shadows' then title- shadow of the bat.
cartoonpersona - 5/5/2009, 10:46 AM
is that realy how war machine will look in iron man the movie 2 this is the coolest thing ever man ist' cool man im a freak now freak now i must be inm heaven
filmakeradair - 5/7/2009, 3:33 PM
Britney Spears-Harley Quinn

Johnny Depp as the Riddler, thank God that it was a joke when I've heard that they were going to have Eddie Murphy play Riddler.

Jude Law-Deadshot (handsome, snobbish, the Bullseye of DC, he loves to use guns)

Giovanni Ribisi-the Mad Hatter after seeing his performance on Flight of the Phoenix

Scarlett Johannsen-Poison Ivy


patience78 - 5/11/2009, 9:55 PM
Croc would be a great minor villain. He could be used because he has a genetic deformity of the skin and is injected repeatedly with Scarecrow gas.
CrimsonPhantom - 5/18/2009, 8:23 AM
I had just found out a lot more about Hush then ever before, but I had known he had killed The Riddler.

Dark Knight Returns- Hush, Riddler, Joker, and Two-Face

Dark Knight: End Game- Two-Face and Mr. Freeze

[frick] the web head, for to me. He honestly has to reboot it, or the series is screwed. Even I couldn't even right the fourth or fith one. Yet sixth and seven? For three just go somewhere where they post the spider-man forums, and read a part of the third reboot. then ask for the rest, ok?

just please give it a shot
kyle dalton - 5/18/2009, 8:42 PM
batman 3 needs mad hatter,black mask and scarecrow.
UltimateHobgoblin666 - 9/21/2009, 10:36 AM
Batman 4/5 should have mad hater, black mask, and scarecrow.
legder20 - 10/31/2009, 9:42 AM
I agree that Brittany Spears may have the right look to pull of Harley Quinn. Did you see the movie Crossroads?? The woman may be able to sing, but she CAN NOT ACT!!! And Harley is too important a character to screw with that way. I agree a Harley Quinn movie would be great. Mad Hatter would be interesting, and a much better role for Johnny Depp than The Riddler. My concern with Johnny Depp for any of them is that it might be more "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" than I like in my Batman.
Tonx - 11/2/2009, 9:23 PM
I could see Kristen Bell to play Harley Quinn. I think she has that sense of humor or can definitely develop it.
