"Batman" Reboot Coming 2016?

[HomieSoprano]

We have some more news to share with you, and this time it is in regards to the reboot of the Batman franchise.

Previously, news came out about the Justice League Movie being written by Will Beall, and we were informed that the upcoming Man of Steel movie would be spearheading a new DC shared universe.

With The Dark Knight Rises being the last of Christopher Nolan's Batman movies, Warner Bros. is obviously looking to reboot the Batman franchise.

I'm told that a new Batman movie might be slated for 2016 following the Justice League Movie, and it will not be an origin story (like Amazing Spider-Man), but will feature a Batman who is entering his second year as a hero.

The film may also be called "The Batman," though I can't be sure on that as the 2004 animated series was of the same title which featured a Batman in his third year.

Also, this new Batman will be part of the same shared DC Universe that features the Justice League Movie as well as having Henry Cavill in the role of Superman in Justice League and subsequent sequels to the Man of Steel.

The info comes from our source who has previously provided us information about the Green Lantern movie, The Dark Knight Rises and the Man of Steel.

Exclusive: Batman Movie Reboot To Feature Batman As Second Year Hero; Ties Into Justice League Movie - Cosmic Book News

"The Dark Knight Rises" will likely not be able to surpass "The Dark Knight" at the box office, but is already shaping up to be a huge moneymaker for Warner Bros. With Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale not returning for any more installments, it's not surprising that the studio has been making plans to once again reboot the franchise.

According to CBN, Warners will proceed with a new Batman movie immediately after the release of "Man of Steel" in 2013 and before the release of "Justice League of America." Regarding the reboot's plot, the site's source explained: "It will not be an origin story, but will feature a Batman who is entering his second year as a hero."

This makes some sense, since Warners has been trying to match the success of Marvel's "The Avengers." Despite the fact that Henry Cavill is contractually set to return as Superman in "Justice League of America," it became clear early on that Bale never intended to return as Batman.

Rebooting the Batman franchise immediately after "Man of Steel" will give the studio a new Superman and a new Batman, both of which will then star in "Justice League of America."

Meanwhile, during the "Total Recall" press conference, Colin Farrell was asked if he would like to be the next Batman. "The kid part in me would say 'Yeah, for sure,'" he replied. "But Christian did such a brilliant job. I'm not saying I've got the call, but I'm not sure if it's something I'd be interested in."

[William Bassington]

what a joke, not even interested in a reboot at this point

 

[YBE]

fukk no

 

[MidniteJay]

That's bold as fukk. I thought Nolan crushed the possibility of a reboot for at least 10 years?

I guess WB saw all dat Avengers money and want to be able to pull of the same shyt a Justice League.

 

[He Who Posts Well]

Hopefully we get a Robin/Darkwing movie before hand.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

I don't give a fukk as long as it is good

 

[diddykong]

keep recycling it. making more $$$$

 

[Spaceman Piff]

i'mma watch it

If they really want to make a Justice League movie, they should have Joseph-Gordon Levitt as the new Batman. With the exception of JGL, none of the other TDK trilogy actors should be involved in order to protect the integrity of the trilogy if the newer Batman movies fail.

However I do think they should be produced by the Nolans' production company, Syncopy, since Man of Steel is being released under that banner.

So you can have a Justice League movie starring Joseph-Gordon Levitt and Henry Cavill and WB can just act like they've been planning this since Batman Begins (2005).

If it weren't for the Big Blue b*stard's trailblazing, half the topics of this board wouldn't even exist.

its not fukk superman, Nolan's Man of Steel looks like its gonna be damn good.

i dont see any reboot of Batman in the near future doing well, Nolan didnt even have that much hype to live up to (given that the Batman's after Returns sucked royally) but he created 3 masterpieces that won't be easy to top.

The only way a JL film would work is if the director only focused on Batman/Superman/Wonderwoman's stories. And even that will probably be too much for one 2 hour film..

then later add on The Flash/Green lantern etc.... in the sequels


Unlike Marvel this isn't gonna have the luxury of having like 6 films prior to help build the back story.
