.....Crap. If there's one thing I don't wanna see, especially as a comparison to the REALLY fun Avengers movie, it's a brooding, overly serious Justice League. Nolan most likely wouldn't be directing the Justice League film though. This. If he were involved it would probably in helping write the script and some technical, behind the camera work. I suspect Nolan and Bale are both waiting for the new Superman and Green Lantern movies to be out in theaters to see if the fantastical elements could be melded with the semi-real world they created for Batman. If so, then we could very well see them working together on a Justice League film.

Would it be too much to ask for maybe some cloth uniforms? It doesn't make sense though, not with how realistic film and tv is now. It would take the bad guys having aim worse than the storm troopers to have Bats survive a single film, never mind the potential 2 or 3 that he'd be in. But it's a comic book movie, and stuff like the MARVEL movies and even some of the more recent films with the goofier edge that it doesn't need that side. Plus, cloth looks better, compared to some of that molded rubber armor they use now, even in the Nolan films. Also, aside from 1989, when has Batman ever been hit with gunfire? And if you can write soem dialog to make flight possible in the Nolan films, you can write a line to make some cloth bullet proof.

So there could be that.

I'd be interested in them doing a more 'detective' oriented Batman movie and less "superhero-y." So it focuses more on Batman's intellect. The Batman will be like this 'urban legend' that he uses to get leverage on people or intimidate crooks into giving up info, like a good guy Kyzer Soze.
Either that or I'd love to see a Batman & Robin, but with a mood more like Training Day where Robin is just getting started as a hero and isn't sure if Batman's violent/manipulative tactics are ethical.
One last idea I just had woudl be to have Batman be this shadowy figure in Gotham that no one really knows a lot about. Either Todd or Grayson hunts the city at night trying to find the Batman because he wants to train under him. The entire first movie would be this pre-Robin fighting criminals and stuff, getting into trouble, all to get Batman's attention. At the end of this one they'll meet up. Then the second film would be the 'Training Day' type movie. And the third one will be Robin taking over Batman's duties (as he's gotten too old to defend Gotham). So it'll go like, "The Batman," "Batman and Robin," and finally, "Knightwing."

Arkahm Asylum the movie really is the way forward. You've got the serious and the dark elements, but they also keep the actual comic book element of Batman and allow for his entire Rogues gallery to appear, plus his support cast, without questions of things not fitting because of the Nolan SRS!!!!! tone I think either the Arkham Asylum comic, or Hush would make such awesome standalone films, and great stories to just jump into, skip the bullshit origin stories(no one needs to see these anymore with certain heroes) and get right down to business. Hush would be a really cool change of pace for a super hero movie and Batman's really the only hero I can think of that could have a movie like that. Just a slow, methodically paced film in the vein of Zodiac. Would be a really interesting thing to pull off.

Actually, Hush would be a good one to use, as well, since it features so many Justice League cameos.

So here's the question, let's say Arkham Asylum was the way they were gonna go(It's likely not, I know, but a man can dream). Who would you have playing, arguably, the two most important villains in Joker and Ivy? Know who I could see as either Ivy or especially Harley Quinn? Alison Brie. She's pretty and she can switch gears (sultry/goofy/psycho) pretty easily. I came to this conclusion months ago. Brittany Murphy was always my top choice for Harley, but since she's gone, I started thinking about other actresses who could pull off the adorable, ditzy, but psycho blend. Alison Brie instantly came to mind. She can be adorable, ditzy, hot, and deranged, she can do the voice, and she has the acting chops. She's a perfect Harley Quinn.

I don't wanna see a Red Hood movie honestly. I feel like, we've already got that story in two mediums; no real need for more. I just don't think it's strong enough on its own.

Two thoughts I've had in the past:
Jeffrey Donovan, the star of Burn Notice, would make a good Batman.
I don't particularly like Harley Quinn, but if we must have one, my pick is Kate Mara. On American Horror Story, she went from sweet and loving to murderous psycho at the drop of a hat. And she was completely believable (and sexy) as either.

I wouldn't. It's been done to death, both overly campy and overly serious/boring with a couple good in between ones.
What's the point of making any more? Especially if it's just the same characters over and over again.

Listening to Paul Dini (the creator of Harley Quinn) on Kevin Smith's podcast, Kristen Bell wants to play Harley.

I think the main problem with straight up making an Arkham Asylum based film is the main villains are Joker and Scarecrow. Both of whom were just used in this trilogy and I honestly feel sorry for the next actor to take up the Joker mantle. The hype/backlash may bury him instantaneously. Throw a shitload of money at Hammill to reprise the role in live action.

The Batman cartoon did a good job of introducing a believable young Robin.

I hope it would be a Dark Knight Returns adaption. Michael Keaton in the suit one more time , just to bring it full circle. And And the return of the best batmoible...not in the exact same way but supped up of course. Would love a Dark Knight Returns adaptation but not with Keaton. He wasn't good casting in the first place, just illustrated how Burton didn't really care about the source material. Mr Mom is not Batman.

I see all of these fans talk about Harley Quinn. What's the point of having her if you don't have The Joker? I am sorry but Heath for me is The Joker. No one in my honest opinion can replace or surpass his performance.
If Batman is relaunched I'd say use the Dark Knight Returns format.

Hell, people said that ABOUT Nicholson when Heath was cast. Joker's personality and overall MO are nebulous enough that you can put anybody in there, and they've got a decent shot of hitting the mark. I love Ledger's performance as well, more than anybody else except Mark Hamill, but there's room for another interpretation of The Joker.

Throw a s***load of money at Hammill to reprise the role in live action. Why exactly would it take a s***load of money? I bet he'd do it for a very reason able amount. What else does he have going on? Not that I can see casting him. He certainly does a GREAT job in the animated stuff but can't see him pulling it off and/or being marketable in terms of live action. He is 60yrs old already, probably not even 5'9" anymore, and has hardly been seen on screen in forever. Outside the fanboy populace there would be a resounding "WTF?" if he got hired. I don't know if he'd actually take the part but my dream-team pick would be Daniel Day Lewis. The guy kicks ass in every part plus you have the classic long, lean guy with strong, angular bone-structure.

I dunno, he'd probably do a good job just because he's a spectacular actor, but with how crazy method he is, he'd be a holy terror on the set. That said, though, I don't know how much "fun" he'd bring to it.
