Sorry I do not agree, Batman Begins was balls...and if it weren't for The Joker/Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight I wouldn't have paid much attention. Nolans batman offends both my eyes and ears when he's on screen, where as Burtons batman makes me actually think about how cool it would be to be a costumed vigilante. Sorry but Burtons films are leagues ahead of Nolans.
Two-Face is my favorite character and where as I loved the Nolan version he ended up dieing at the end so you basically lost all my interest for any future movies. Your obvious flame bait makes me...want to get nuts.

Weren't we told this before The Dark Knight Rises was even announced properly?
"If we do a third film it will definitely be the last."

I'm not surprised you didn't like it if you went in expecting it to just tell you vigilantes are "cool". That's essentially the complete opposite of the film's intention.Vigilantis said:
I love how you simplify a part of my message and say "you went in expecting it to just tell you vigilantes are "cool"." I never once said that was my purpose of going to see this movie, I was simply stating that Nolans Batman neither brought out the cool or "Dark Knight" factor as the Burtons Batman did. If you had read the last part of my comment you should have been able to put two and two together and figure out I'm one of those guys who watches Batman movies for the villians story. I honestly hate Batman as a character all around (Superman is better =P ), just stating my opinion that Burtons Batman is far superior.Woodsey said:
Batman to me was always the line of good and bad, he had dark traits that he used against other bad guys...Bale couldn't pull that vibe off to save his life where as Keaton just came natural to the role (perhaps it was his beetlejuice experience) If you can't keep interest in the main character the rest of the story falls apart around it. Heath Ledger destroyed Bales performance, and the best parts of the movie (for me) were scenes without Batman in it. When we finally got to the epic conclusion the fight scenes were lackluster (and shite) and my favorite villian died a rather odd death.
Please halt from putting words in other peoples mouths as I would come to expect you to be some sort of internet lawyer. Respect others opinions as they would respect yours.
Does this mean we can end this unnecessary gritty direction and make Batman fun again?
I say we cast Jason Bateman as Batman, then he can flub all his lines and say "I'm Bateman!"
Or maybe Bader can go from voicing Batman to being Batman...
*Sigh* I can only dream...
It seems the general public disagrees with me though...

I'm sorry, how the hell is this news? Nolan said a long time ago that he was done after this movie. Anyone who's been following any kind of press on this has none this for well over a year at least.
When Christopher Nolan announced his involvement in The Dark Knight Rises, he mentioned that he was interested in it because it was an end to the story, saying that, in live action, things can't keep going and going like they do in the comics. I'm pretty sure Christian Bale has said that he's not interested in working with anyone but Nolan on this series. None of this is big news.
me and my friend always thought this would happen.
however, why not make a robin trilogy in the nolanverse? like a different robin each film, going through the relationship with each one, showing the mindset behind batman taking on a child.

Calm down granddad, I hardly insulted your opinion, I'm sure you'll live. My opinions are my opinions, people shouldn't respect them unless they share the same opinion.
From your post I got: "Batman does matter to me, as I've just said it destroyed Nolan's films and made me like Burton's. Also, there are no interesting villains now they've killed off my favourite. Burton made vigilantes look cool, this is what I really liked, Nolan didn't do this."
"Nolans batman offends both my eyes and ears when he's on screen, where as Burtons batman makes me actually think about how cool it would be to be a costumed vigilante."
I.e. Burton's films showed me the message I wanted it to be given, Nolan's did it poorly. The first bit is fine, but deriding Nolan's films for doing something poorly (again, this is what I got from what you said) when that wasn't the point in the first place, is stupid.
Now, if that's not what you meant, fine, but if you expect someone to extract a meaning from your post ("I only care about villains!") don't include something contradictory ("Nolan's Batman destroyed his film, Keaton's Batman was able to show me what I wanted and helped make the film's great!").
LOL I agree.Zachary Amaranth said:
OT: This doesn't surprise me, they set out to make a trilogy and that's what this is.
It's a shame that you have no respect for your elders.
Clearly someone needs to teach you how to read.
Just because I come to see a movie about the villains does not give the movie the ability to have a lackluster protagonist. Its a Yin-Yang type deal. As said previously if Batman gets upstaged by every other character in the movie why bother. I can have an opinion on Batman even though I dislike the character, its only logical.
I understand you can't help put words in others mouths so I wont respond any longer, keep your opinions and I will keep mine. Good day Mr. Lawyer man.

The Philippine Daily Inquirer, eh?....
I was expecting this, but is that a credible news source? I'm confused on this. I have never heard of it, which is no indication that it's a bad source at all, maybe I'm just scared of a source with the words, "National Enquirer" in it.
A lot of hate towards Bale's Batman career. I personally enjoyed them, to be honest. The writing was much better than what was seen in the past and directing of Dark Knight was incredible. They pretty much had to do another origin story to separate the movies from the terrible direction the previous Batman movies had gone. They had to start at the beginning, and they were intentionally more gritty. Much better than anything that came after Batman Returns.

Eh, I couldn't care less about Bale quitting the role. In my opinion he's probably the worst Batman incarnation, even Clooney was better. I'm not saying Bale is a bad actor, he was the America Psycho for goodness sakes. I just feel he was never right for the role. He didn't have presence that Michael Keaton did.
People should be happy that Nolan is moving away from Batman, we won't have another Spiderman 3... Not to mention he's one of the best Hollywood directors right now. He shouldn't be tied down to doing superhero movies, no matter how good they actually are. I'm sure with his talent he'll create yet another glorious, original movie.
The 1989 Batman will always be the best live action Batman, and Batman: the Animated Series will always be the best Batman, period.
