Six Batman Movies That Hollywood Should Adapt After Nolan Finishes Showing Everyone How It's Done. By Rob Payne | Seriously Random Lists | November 28, 2011 | Comments (0 View While many of us were stuffing ourselves into digestive comas, the Philippine Daily Inquirer was out doing real journalism and interviewing Christian Bale. Pointedly, he talks about very recently wrapping Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, and how that will be the last moment he'll ever take don or doff the famous Bat-cowl.
It's an interesting enough read if you enjoy puffery, but it's really just a reminder that while Nolan puts his finishing touches on their last foray in Gotham City, Warner Bros. is most definitely looking into the franchise's future monetization. We've already seem reports that confirm a promise of more Bat-films after Rises, so even as Bale swoops into multiplexes in June 2012 for the final time, we'll still be left to wonder what direction the studio (and the character) will go next. The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale Gotham by Gaslight by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola.
15 Batman Villains That Deserve Their Movie Due. What If - Batman Movies. Introduction We've all seen the movies and have all experienced the carnage that they ensued. The beautifully sleek movies that Tim Burton had once done were quickly dashed with the inception of Batman Forever. From there on, we endured subpar flicks from Joel Schumacher that were more about campiness than quality. My question is what would have happened if Warner Brothers stuck with the formula they already had? What if the final two Batman movies were exactly like the first two? A Stronger Fan Base Obviously the downfall of the Batman movie franchise was the loss of Tim Burton and the change in direction that Warner Bros. wanted.
True Batman fans WB unfortunately didn't have the desire to invest on what they already knew was the perfect formula. The Introduction of More DC Comic Movies With the success of the Batman films, WB chooses to invest into more DC Comics hero stories. We saw this happen in the 2000's with the inception of Batman Begins and Superman Returns. Laters! Dark Knight trailer 1943 style. Batman 1946 by Orson Welles - What if? Joss Whedon on his failed Batman movie pitch, and a return to Firefly. As The Cabin In The Woods premiered at the South By Southwest Festival in Texas, Joss Whedon took part in a panel discussion about the film, and several other projects, too. Amongst the highlights? Well, prior to Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins movie coming together, Whedon went to Warner Bros to pitch a Batman movie of his own. “My heart was on the table”, he said. “I was so into it. And I could tell the executive I was talking to was just completely thinking about their schedule and their window and it was like I was talking to a wall.
It was a different language. That particular day seemed to get worse, though, as Whedon went on to say “I got back to work and they cancelled Firefly. Whedon, as you might have guessed, didn't get very far with his Batman project. Talking of Firefly, though, in the same panel discussion, Whedon’s heart clearly hasn’t closed the door back to that world. The Cabin In The Woods is released next month. LeakyNews. Rejected Film Projects: Joss Whedon Talks About His ‘Batman’ Movie. 15 Imaginary Batman Movie Posters from Alternate Directors. With Christopher Nolan finishing up his third and final Batman movie, some folks are already wondering which director will be next to turn his or her camera on the Caped Crusader.
Each director brings their own flavor to Gotham’s defender, from Tim Burton’s cartoony, gothic take to Nolan’s crime movie sensibilities. The LA Times’ Hero Complex imagines how other directors might reinvent Batman once Nolan is through.Geoff Boucher, the Hero Complex head writer, teamed up with artist Sean Hartter to create these imaginary movie poster collages. Hartter is known for his stellar alternate universe movie posters, which mashes up familiar media with unlikely actors — Marilyn Monroe in Kill Bill, Watchmen starring Lenny Bruce as the Comedian and Paul Newman as Dr. Manhattan, Akira Kurosawa’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Each day this week, Boucher and Hartter will post three new movie posters, with 15 posters in all. What if Wes Anderson directed a Batman movie? Who Should Play Batman After The Dark Knight Rises? As it’s a slow news day this Friday and as there has been almost nothing new to report on The Dark Knight Rises for the past several weeks, we thought we would revive an old interesting debate (and you have to say problem for Warner Bros this summer) when Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale leave the Batman franchise for good.
We will talk about the intimidating shoes of Christopher Nolan that some filmmaker out there has to try and fill when the Batman franchise is inevitably rebooted or re-imagined next time out on a later date… but which actor out there do you think is the perfect match for the next Bruce Wayne? Read What Culture writer Trevor Gentry-Birnbaum’s article from late last year and debate below; Knowing they won’t be tempted to make a fourth film anytime soon, Warner Bros. has expressed interest in rebooting the franchise with a series of films they hope they can convince Nolan to produce, but we have to wonder why all of these reboots are so necessary? Michael Fassbender.
The Inevitable Batman Movie Reboot. The current iteration of Batman comes to an end in this summer's Dark Knight Rises. Since Christopher Nolan's films have made such a large impact with their unique style, it would make sense for there to be a bit of a cooling off period before the franchise went through yet another reboot. There is, however, too much money to be made. Ideas for the new Batman are already being pitched, new directors are being sought out, and new actors are being cast. As always, I humbly offer my services as a writer to the internet at large, as I don't know how to contact the appropriate people or retain an agent.
These are my best ideas for the next Batman film. Two-Face Face-Off Face Race: Trading Faces or Face 2 Face: Rad Race With A Bad Face or Two-Face Vs. Or Face Face (it means Two-Face, think about it) or What's My Face Doing On Your Body And What's My Other Face Doing On His Body? Or Dark Batman The idea is simple. Young Batman First, the tagline: Every hero has a beginning. Happy Bat 3D. Christian Bale’s comment opens the door for another ‘Batman’ movie | Movie Talk. Photo by Warner Bros. Pictures Christian Bale may not be ready to hang up his Batman suit, after all. Time and again, the star of the Christopher Nolan-directed "Dark Knight" movies has said that the third installment of the Batman trilogy will be his last. Fans have been having a hard time saying goodbye. "The Dark Knight Rises," out this summer, is said to be the last of the Bale-Nolan dynamic duo. But maybe the Batman era will live on. In an interview with Empire magazine, the actor leaves an opening, however small, that another movie could be in his future.
But in the same interview it doesn't sound like Nolan is exactly on board. But what if the guy's story is re-invented -- in, say, a Justice League movie? And hope springs eternal -- searches on Yahoo! Joss Whedon, who directed "The Avengers," was recently asked how to make a Justice League picture work —- something that has been discussed for years. Let's hope someone at Warner Bros. has the batphone on speed-dial. Batman: How might the next Batman movie franchise try to set itself apart from previous incarnations. EXCLUSIVE: Batman and Robin Movie May Be Next from DC Comics' New 52. The New 52's Batman and Robin may be heading to the big screen Even though The Dark Knight Rises is still in the midst of principle photography, it hasn't stopped fans from speculating on where this franchise may go after director Christopher Nolan completes his trilogy.
There's been rumors that another big name director may step in and create an all-new trilogy from scratch, and that Bruce Wayne may also lead a TV series sometime in the near future. No one in the Bat camp is talking at this point. And it's all conjecture until the powers that be reveal their secret plans for keeping the Batman franchise afloat. Today, however, we did get a hint at the direction Bruce Wayne's cinematic side may take after The Dark Knight Rises plays out at theaters. Executive producer and Batman rights holder Michael E. Here is what he had to say when asked what the future held for Batman on the big screen. "The only thing I would direct your attention to is the new comic books. 6 Insane Batman Villains You Won't See in the Movies. Batman has the greatest set of villains of any superhero, but not every character can be a Joker or a Two-Face. Or even a Penguin.
It turns out that the only thing one needs to qualify as a member of Batman's rogue gallery is being insane and knowing how to sew a costume. We all know that sooner or later, the Batman movies are going to run out of interesting villains to feature and will be forced to start scraping closer to the bottom of the barrel. Whoever they end up choosing, we hope it's not someone like ... #6.
The King of Cats Batman #69 (1952)His entire body is made of breasts. The King of Cats is possibly the creepiest Batman villain ever created, and not just because he looks like a date rapist stalking a furry convention. Oh, and he has a thing for his sister. Batman #69 (1952)Of the 20 things wrong with this picture, the most pressing is why that panther has the torso of a man. Batman #69 (1952)"I say our kittens are probably going to have hideous genetic defects.
" #5. . #4. Batman Remixed & Reimagined. Psychedelic 'Batman Live' Stage Show Finally Coming to America. Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark may have broken the hearts of superhero-loving theater goers with its uninspired take on New York’s webslinging photographer, but American audiences are in for a delightfully insane consolation prize. Batman Live, the live-action stage show that’s been touring arenas in Latin America, Europe and the United Kingdom, is finally making its North American debut, with a full complement of Bat-foes, and effects that dazzle the eyes rather than maim the actors.Granted, Batman Live may not have songs by U2′s Bono and the Edge (or songs at all), but based on what we’ve seen so far, what the show lacks in musical pedigree it makes up for in giant Joker heads with teeth made of people, neon bo staff battles, shiny costumes and a sleek Batmobile. Although the creators promise this isn’t an Ice Capade experience, Batman Live is aimed at an all-ages audience, with a tone closer to Tim Burton than Christopher Nolan.

The worst offense, though, has to be the painted-on eyebrows.

The History of the Batmobile - BatmobileHistory.com. The World’s only Turbine-Powered Batmobile by Putsch Racing | Todd Cooperider Online. Photos courtesy of Scott Schwartz and Putsch Racing This car replicates the Batmobile from the 1989 movie starring Michael Keaton as Batman that was directed by Tim Burton. This film is significant in that it is the first of the modern Batman movies that changed the direction of the character as it was portrayed in the campy 1960’s TV show. The character of Batman is culturally significant the world over and likely because the character is the most relatable of all super heros in that Bruce Wayne is a normal human that only wants to make the world a better place. Throughout TV and movie history, the Batmobiles shown on screen have merely been props that are dubbed over with movie magic and clever editing to give them their fantastic powers.
Even since that campy TV show of the 1960’s, the Batmobile was portrayed as being turbine powered.

Animation and DC Comics, and you can check out what happens when The Dark Knight confronts the villainous Dr. Hugo Strange in his mysterious layer right here! As much as I loved the Dark Knight, I got to say, that animated movie “Under the Red Hood” was amazing, and so I think that the last movie in the Dark Knight trilogy should have been little more like that then TDKR.
Son of Batman, the latest animated feature from Warner Bros. and DC Comics (based on the "Batman and Son" story by Grant Morrison) will premiere at WonderCon on April 18th, 2014, and a new clip and batch of hi-res stills have today been released along with that announcement. I analyse the final installment in Nolan's Batman trilogy that seems to get an awful lot of hate for meaningless plot holes and not containing enough Batman. We've seen a lot of parodies of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises.

The Philosophy of Batman. Welcome to Overthinking It, the site that subjects the popular culture to a level of scrutiny it probably doesn't deserve. There's much more where this came from, so if you like this article: (There Will Be Spoilers) Christopher Nolan didn’t major in philosophy in college (or “read philosophy at University,” as the case may be), but he evidently has some familiarity with the subject.
How do I know? Well, both of his two Batman films thus far have featured famous philosophical thought experiments. In Batman Begins, we have the well-known trolley experiment, in which a person must imagine that s/he is on a trolley that is barreling down the tracks towards five people (or babies, depending on if your ethics professor is more or less of a sadist) who are tied onto the tracks. In the first movie, Nolan gave Batman basically the same challenge, except he wasn’t on a trolley–he was on an elevated subway–and there was only one person to kill: Mr.

Bonus) Catwoman - Though not really a Batman movie, even if its working title was "Untitled Batman Returns Spin-off" I just want to make my disdain for this movie clear. Catwoman did more to set back the character of Selina Kyle than Batman and Robin ever dreamed of doing for the Dark Knight. Unfairly, it wasn't even the real Catwoman, Selina Kyle, being portrayed in the movie. This Catwoman, Patience Phillips was the next in some theoretical line of Catwomen that were never mentioned again after this bombed.
