Christian Bale Resigns As Batman

Christina hasn't been great lately but her newest is awesome, as is some of her old stuff. And I think Cheese is sort of spearheading the whole "better feeling Cracked" thing they've got going on lately (I'm sure I didn't make that up, it's referenced..... somewhere), he also has a much better head for gaming than stupid Wong. Cody's stuff just comes out of nowhere and always seems irrelevant, as well as unfunny.Monoochrom said:
I for one am glad the third will be the last in the series. If it goes on any longer, it'll just get worse. Hell, given how good The Dark Knight was, the third film won't be able to be as good. Our expectations are far too high. Best to leave off at the very least on Batman Begins level quality.
And for the record, I never had a problem with Bale's Batman voice. It's a little silly, but nothing deal-breaking.

Yeah this kinda sucks, already expected it though. It's also good, now we know this line of Batman films won't be turned into shit (as long as Rises ends up being good). Besides it's not like these are the end all be all Batman movies, Tim Burton's were pretty good and some people, based on this thread alone, even prefer them. Basically though, I think the next ones are going to be SHIT, DC is now just pathetically trying to tie their universe together simply because Marvel did it. Except unlike Marvel who started things off with Iron Man, which most people really enjoyed, DC started off with Green Lantern which was awful. They are screwed basically and are pushing towards an idea Marvel has been setting up for like over three years.
As a person that is not into comics, Nolan's take on Batman as well as the two Arkham games made me want to get into the character. The only other time I've enjoyed Batman was watching the Batman and Superman Adventures when I was little.
All other Batman material I have seen or read has been tolerable at best. Most of the previous movies were, IMO, garbage. Didn't like them then and don't like them now.
I don't care if another director and cast wants to try their take on Batman, I just hope I don't have to see Robin yell cowabunga again.

I just wish Heath Ledger could play the Joker again. Don't get me wrong Bale was ok, but Heath Ledger really made The Dark Knight a great film for me.
Erm, no. With all due respect we can not all agree with that =Pvansau said:
Even though Nolan's film are good - hell, they're awesome, I thoroughly enjoyed them both - it's Burton's films that will always be associated with Batman universe in my mind. Gothic and Batman are best when they are together. Plus, there is no person in the whole world that could play Catwoman better than Michelle Pfeiffer. She didn't just play Catwoman - she WAS Catwoman.
Since we are on Batman topic - am I the only one who wants to see "The Killing Joke" being made into a movie?
Batman teams up with Space Ghost.Souplex said:

Can't really say i'm mourning here. Literally the only reason i liked The Dark Knight was Heath Ledger's Joker. I was never a fan of Batman and i thought Bale did a terrible job with that weird growling voice like he gargled Maker's Mark and salt before every scene as Batman. And i know some people are still fans of Batman and my opinion won't change that, but to me, Ledger's death condemned The Dark Knight to being a single flash of brilliance, i find it impossible to convince myself that DC can make that flash happen again.
But hey, Ledger's last role was a fucking masterpiece. May the man rest in piece knowing he made comic nerds shit themselves. And i can at least respect Nolan for making a good Batman movie, i just hope the last Nolan Batman flick doesn't destroy all good will i had towards him. As for Christian Bale...
...he should stick to drugged up supporting roles. I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but the man did great in The Fighter and he should focus more on roles like that instead of trying to be an action star.
