Batman

I'd like Michael Keaton back but just like Clive Owen he is too old Batman is perpetually in his mid thirties. I thought Christian Bale sucked as Batman. Although I do like him in other movies. I also am not a fan of Christopher Nolan's Batman. I would like to see Darren Aronofsky do Batman. Nolan and Burton's movies were not dark enough. Didn't capture the real Batman it's time someone lets Batman out of the closet.

Eric Bana as Batman. Would be sick.

If there is ever to be yet another Batman reboot, then the dream ticket is Curtis Hanson directing a shot for shot "Batman - Year One", with Guy Pierce as Batman, then follow it up with a shot for shot "Long Dark Halloween".
RANT - What royally fucks me off about Batman movies is that there is so much AMAZING source material, which the directors and writers either ignore, or in the case of Nolan simply say that it "inspired" them. Fuck inspiration, shoot the fucking story you egomaniac gimp.

Can we make sure he does his own VERY DANGEROUS stunts? Let's set him on fire.

ive been saying that for years mega that they should do year one then a like 3 parter or so of the long halloween
and use a director that gives a fuck
sincity and 300 are prime, PRIME examples that a almost direct adaptation from a comic to the movie screen CAN work
also the fact that they are both frank miller and year one is frank miller makes it a fucking no brainer -
^agreed. 300 and sin city turned out great and i enjoyed both. I am a huge Batman fan and love love love Michael Keaton and Tim Burton combined. I think the "time" the first Burton batman came was the only thing holding it back(still love it mind you) but if Tim had a crack at it now i believe it would be much darker and batass. Even Barman Returns was lookin more "gothic" from the first. Bale did a decent job but i hated his batvoice. Yuck. I really cant cant see Affleck doing a good job, ie DareDevil. Boooo

Well, I was joker(ing) about having a Batman thread but AWESOME
Nate and PP, only thing I cant agree on is Tim Burton. I think the man is a hack these days.

There's been a lot of hate towards Batfleck, but I'm with Derivative666 that he was great in Argo and The Town, so I'm hopeful. Actors often come in for a lot of flack before a film is released, and I prefer to wait and see the end results. Heath Ledger as the Joker and Daniel Craig as Bond both had geek hate beforehand, and they turned out OK.
Oh, and thinking of Bond, Ian Fleming was adamant that Sean Connery was the wrong choice before Doctor No came out…
PS The Church of Batman the Redeemer needs you!

I don't hate Affleck. I don't get the Batman casting though.

Surely a sign of the apocalypse….

Bring on the apocalypse please. Now.
