shame, but i dont blame them. at least they know when to stop. im sure the last batman movie will be good. so far, nolan never disappoints with his movies. at least these movies i have seen were really good. inception is still the best.
Christian Bale Resigns As Batman
- Thread starter vansau
- Start date
These people need to quit trying to force DC characters. They made maybe one good character/series EVER and that was Batman plus his attendant villains. Trying to force all these other characters into things is just going to cock up what little they have.
The title is a bit misleading since didn't Bale and nolan only sign on for a 3 batman films contract? Since they've fullfilled their contract and not renewing is hardly resigning.
As with the nolan vs burton versions of Batman films, I think generally the Burton batman fans grew up watching Batman and Batman returns, whereas nolan group prob seen batman begins first, so its hard for one group to convince the other that theirs are better since their standard of Batman film was either Batman or Batman begins which were both great films. In my mind Batman returns was my favourite one of them all.

Meh, can't say I'm too chocked up. I never really liked Bale as Batman (I've never really liked Bale in anything now that I think of it) He made an okay-ish Bruce Wayne though.
I think the Nolan Batman's are okay... they have great stories and casts. They're good movies.
But, to me, they're not good BATMAN movies. They don't have that "magic" I've loved about the character. The darkness, the gothic vibe, the sense of humanity struggling against monsters and supernatural denizens...
Michael Keaton NAILED it. He even asked them to remove most of his dialogue because he said "Batman doesn't make speeches". He was dark, quiet, mysterious, and more intimidating with a whisper than Bale ever was growling.
And, well, even IF you like the new movies, Danny Elfman's score is just jaw-droppingly timeless, iconic, and THE definitive Batman theme.

This isn't really news, considering that Nolan said that he was only going to make 3 batman films.
As for the burton Vs nolan argument i actually preferred Batman as a character that was still grounded by a small bit of reality. and time burton isn't what i would call someone who makes films grounded in reality.

While I've enjoyed the Christopher Nolan take on Batman I'm glad someone is bucking the Hollywood trend of run a film series into the ground. If cartoon superheroes have taught us anything it's that as sad as it is to let an old series go you have to end at some point to try new things. Loved Batman the Animated series but if it never ended Aquaman never would have had his moments to shine in Batman The Brave and The Bold.
Ouch plus look at all the bad 4th films out there when Hollywood decided to keep the same continuity instead of just rebooting. Batman and Robin, Alien Resurrection, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Better to just go three good films and start over.

No we can't. Yes, Dark Knight probably the best of the lot, but the original Batman is so much better than Batman Begins. And I liked Batman Begins.vansau said:

That was quite possibly the most awesome thing I have ever seen!!!!
Dammit, I wanted a Mr. Freeze story without Joel Schumacher so the character could have a dignified cinematic release
As long as the reboot doesn't make me watch the origin story of Batman yet again, I'm okay with it on a philosophic level.
As long as they don't pull another Joel Schumaker and hire a director who doesn't know how to properly use the Batman mythos. Or try to go back to the 60s style again.
