Disagree.

I felt that Dark Knight Returns is highly overrated, and while I do enjoy Batman Beyond, I wouldnt really have any desire to hit the theaters.

Cast is pretty lame too but what do I know, this is just my opinion and I alone wouldnt see these.

One more Burton Batman movie with Keaton. PLEASE.

I wouldn't mind seeing either of them adapted. More so Batman Beyond.

For a regular Batman movie, Batman: Hush, Batman: War Games, or any of Loeb/Sale's titles win my vote as the basis of the new movie. Would be even better if they make a combo of all those.

The Dark Knight Returns would be great, but after the animated outing, I doubt they'll translate it to the big screen, too. Plus, it would need a REALLY capable person to handle it, because the animated movie obviously lacked in delivering the narration. It's a good movie, but not as powerful as the material source.

If they can get Sam Neill as an older Bruce in a Batman Beyond movie (which I think is rather unlikely, despite my desire to see it), that would be great. For Terry? I was rooting for Dane DeHaan, but he's an Osborn now. I'm left with no choice at all. Milo Ventimiglia can handle the adult version of the character, though.

Oh, and yeah...a portion of The Dark Knight Rises was also based on The Dark Knight Returns, I believe, which narrows its possibility to be adapted even more. I'd LOVE to see Keaton and Nicholson in those iconic roles once more, of course, but it's simply unlikely for now. Not to mention how general audiences may get confused..."Wasn't Nicholson's Joker dead already?" I can already see that popping around, if it happens.

I'd say lets get a perfect Batman franchise on screen, then maybe some of this stuff later. I honestly think Karl Urban would make a fantastic Batman, and a great Bruce Wayne. But honestly I wouldn't mind if they didn't do as much with Wayne because last trilogy had Wayne A LOT! Try something different.

I thought of that a couple weeks ago. My thought happened at work, I was like:

"Hey wait a minute, Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton are the right ages for The Dark Knight Returns!"

Eureka!

I'd like a regular batman movie with some villains that haven't been used. Plain and simple

Keaton is a nobody and he was a shit Batman who incinerated thugs. Why would he retire when he doesn't mind killing ALL the time?

Next Batman reboot NEEDS to have HUSH be the villain

As long as their is Nightwing and batgirl (barbara gordon) in the story i don't care :D

Too much of Dark Knight Returns was used in the story for TDKR to see it adapted to the big screen any time soon. How about something original rather than trying to directly adapt a comic book story?

Jon Hamm playing Bats/Brucie in a 1930's Gotham please.

My fan thoughts exactly! Would love either or both of those movies with those actors!

Also...Batman DID kill...a LOT (if youre laughing you saw the college humor video) until Batman #1, the editor told Bob Kane that Batman would no longer use guns and he had to tone down the violence...or no title.

You do know this guy has been a producer on every Batman film since 1989 right.

'Of course Batman killed people! In the beginning, he used to throw goons from buildings roofs and even carried a pistol!

I would like to see a noir/detective kinda stuff in the reboot. Very classical, dark and grim. Beyond would be great too. I think Beyond it's the natural path for Batman's reboot. But hey, it will all depends on the goddamn JL movie. =/

Well, the cast ideas are good, but as stories I don't really like The Dark Knight Returns nor the Batman Beyond. Instead of getting a movie about possible-future-stories, I would like to see something Arkham city-like on the big screen.

LOL that's pretty damn accurate.

Keaton and nicholson are all right, but my dream cast for a TRUE TDKR film adaptation would be...


Sylvester Stallone as Batman


Willem Dafoe as the Joker


Bruce Willis as Harvey Dent

Any suggestions for Supes? I'm stumped.

Keaton was the best Bruce AND Batman, because of the contrast he could keep.
Asterisk
Asterisk - 1/25/2013, 12:06 PM
As far as I'm concerned, Michael Keaton IS Batman.

Batman Beyond is the way to go, after watching Return of the Joker multiple times, I think this would be an awesome idea, besides it'll bring something fresh instead of going through Batman's origin again with Bruce Wayne.
