Don't think I can take anymore of his groveling batman voices. He ain't even a real Bats IMO. He isn't smart, cries for women after they stab him in the gut, and gets his whip stolen by brawds unwittingly.

I liked him as Bruce and Nolan got the general concept but yeah they kinda made him too soft in the 2nd and 3rd movies :ehh:

By that 2nd movie is wayyyy past Year One and he should be a fukking BEAST, and the whole allowing himself to be framed for Dents murder (as well as killing off Two Face period) is stupid. Nothing is more important than "The Mission".

Batman needs to be an a$$hole to Clark and the rest of the JL ala "Justice League: Doom" and Bale is the only one with the pedigree to do it since we have seen him grow as Batman. In the early trailers of "Man of Steel" the look of world seem to fit Dark Knight's Gotham city. If they need to explain the end of "Rises", JGL could be Nightwing, not Batman and he could be monitoring Gotham while Bruce is with the Justice League...

Not sure I buy Bale coming back as Bruce Wayne/batman but I don't think the idea of Nolan being given control over the DC movie kingdom is that far fetched at all.

I can see WB desperate enough to rival and beat the Avengers and in the process rushing it and producing a poor film.

Nolan ruining the continuity of his own trilogy :blessed:

Builds all three films on a grounded non-comic book reality then has Batman running around with aliens and fishmen :blessed:

A superman that does not fly but uses a jet pack, Nolan is all about that reality :ohhh:

Warner Bros fukked up everything from the start (apart from The Dark Knight saga, which should be credited exclusively to Christopher Nolan, his brother, Goyer, and Bale)

-Miscast Ryan Reynold's as Green Latern when he was BORN to play Flash-Not getting a credible writer/director to get a Wonder Woman movie popping

-Waiting until the LAST minute to get Man Of Steel in production (when I say last minute I mean in regards to their supposed "rush" to get Justice League in theaters by 2015)

-Not dumping a carnival cruise load of cash at Nolan's door after Batman Begins became a hit to get him invested in producing/overseeing JL's development. He could have been the Godfather for the entire roster if they would have showed early faith in him

He was born to play deadpool. You can find someone else to play green lantern and flash.

They see me trolling, they hating.....

I predict that this is what will most likely happen. Nolan basically borrows heavily from the comic books and doesn't really stray too far from them. He usually just takes a comic book idea and only twist it slightly to make it kinda new and fresh. None of the 3 Batman films really hit us with a totally new concept, and theres nothing wrong with that because staying to the source material that came before u is the best thing u can do and it gives the fans what they want



The question is, which comic book story will he swagger jack for this next film

:ohhh:

The same thing is said about Nolan, Batman and The Justice League in every post and every time I get baffled by how rigid the thought processes of comic book fans are.
Here is how Nolan's Batman can fit in the same universe as Superman, Green Lantern and the rest of the JL:

- Batman is the first costumed superhero in this universe and there are no other heroes popping up during this time that we see in the Nolan Batman movies which covers over a decade.
- Superman is the second costumed adventurer to show up after Bruce Wayne retires as Batman and ushers in the new age of super powered heroes.
- Then people like Flash, Green Lantern (if Reynolds is used then he is the 3rd super powered hero to appear and his movie took place after the Batman trilogy and Man of Steel movies) and Wonder Woman start to show up.
- Something major happens that brings Wayne out of retirement (maybe "Robin" gets killed) and he becomes Batman again.
- Batman begins using more hi-tech gadgets to deal with the arrival of the new type of villains in the world.
- A worldwide event occurs that pulls all the different heroes together as the Justice League.

Just play Batman as the smartest dude in the room who is a bit of a distrustful dikk to the rest of the League while using his mind, physical skills and hi-tech gadgetry to battle whatever villain(s) will be in a Justice League movie and you have a through line from the Batman movies to a Justice League film.
