Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Yeah i'm curious as to where the go for the next Batman, they definitely have to get someone who portrays him well as Cavill was a pretty good Superman.

Part of me really wishes they would not reboot this series man. Probably the best trilogy I've seen to date. Do they really need to tell his origin again? They should just be like the Bond films and jump right into new characters and storylines. No need to show him as a youth scared of bats, etc...

The origins and past of a superhero is what basically makes the hero.

How many times does the hero have to remade? Why can't they just tell stories with the hero already established?

I'm the same way, but money talks....

I would hope they don't think they need to re-tell his origin again.

For one, they're probably going to be less than a decade removed from these movies. And secondly, not re-telling an origin story gives them much more running time to work with for the reboot.

I just think at this point that just about everybody knows the rough outline of Batman's origin and that it'd be a waste of time to go back to that again.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I don't think you need to do a full origin like the past movies did, but you gotta give it a brief run down especially because it'll be in a new set universe.

Yeah a quick 5-15 minute prologue would suffice

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Personally I think you just go the Batman '89 route.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I'm a huge Batman stan and I would probably skip another origin movie. I just don't have any interest in seeing it retold.

[Fresh Tendrils]

There are ways to reiterate his origin without doing a summary or flashback. Hell, there's only really been one movie that expounded his origins anyway.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

And they should definitely use Deathstroke as one of the villains in a future Batman film after how badass Arkham Origins has made him to be. Penguin, Black Mask, Riddler to name a few more.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

There's so many more villains they can tap into still. Especially with how limiting the Nolanverse was. That's probably one of the things I'm looking forward to most with a reboot.

I just want a way to work in Nightwing in a way that isn't corny and sets up his own movie.

Can't have Nightwing without him becoming Robin first. Way I see it, just have him be a teenager when he meets Bruce and just make the suit look cool and respectable.

I'm looking at Kick-*** in the teenage "superhero" department when it comes to having a Robin.

Yup.

As...dumb...as kid Robin has always been to me, you need Robin in a reboot, because then that opens up the Red Hood story, Nightwing, and a bunch of cool stories.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I do kind of hope that with Marvel's success and them seemingly pumping out movies, combined with this Batman trilogy and MoS success that they are more inclined to make DC movies for more characters.
