What Comes After The Dark Knight Rises?

I thought it was more ambiguous – Batman hadn’t hadn’t had a reported sighting in 8 years, but who’s to say he wasn’t active? The injuries Wayne had at the beginning of DKR sure seems to indicate to me that he did a bunch more adventuring after DK.

well said Zor-El

As an action sequence fan, I would like to see more grandiose battle scenes. Let’s have a film showing the exploits and adventures of Horatio Nelson or maybe Hans Ulrich Rudel. Throw in Ricardo Tubbs as their sidekick and we will have a hit. We need Michael Mann to direct the thing and I’ll script it out. And we will have Mr. Gates fund it. How about it Bill?

Everyone knows the reboot is coming. But, honestly, you almost have to feel sorry for the guy who comes behind this. Where does he start? I don’t think there is much more anyone can add to the origin. Personally, i don’t think Robin’s story is interesting enough to be the basis for a new reboot, especially with non-comic readers. And bringing in a new Joker???…..forget about it, at least for awhile. I know Bats has an awesome rogue’s gallery, and perhaps another villain could work. But, in order to respect what has just happened (Nolan’s work), at least for now, we may need to let it rest….unless they want to do Batman Beyond

 Rebooting the franchise doesn’t necessarily require dealing with the origin story.  Start a Batman story with a fresh new vision and nothing more than a passing nod to his origins.

In which era was Batman a quitter who actually stunk at being Batman?

Indeed, it does seem like they had that in mind with GL, which compounded my disappointment with it. As someone who was a DC devotee (at least up until the reboot), I’ve been shaking my head for years with their movie efforts. It’s not that they’re not trying. They just don’t seem to have struck that magic chord yet that Marvel did.

The entire film falls to pieces under mild scrutiny and it’s complete lack of focus coupled with restarting the Bruce Waynes story half way through makes it painfully boring.

Reboot Batman and get Flash and Wonder Woman up and running.

In the meantime can we get a Gotham Central show on the WB ?

New Batman in JUSTICE LEAGUE!

They should totally continued the story but in a comic, like: Batman legacy or something, I want to see what happens next, but not in movies, the end for the trilogy is perfect, but they so totally should do a comic sequel.

As much as I would love to see the Raz Al Ghu storyline continue….He’s not really dead and Layla has Bruce Waynes son who becomes present day Robin…I am concerned about an expected release of JLA in 2014 with this Batman not really fitting in…  All around though unlike Marvel DC hasn’t done a great job introducing individual based character  based movies to intrigue fans….

Kinda makes you wonder if the JLA movie shouldn’t be pushed back and maybe concentrate on popularizing characters such as a new Batman, this Superman may be a good start and wonder woman.  So far Green Lantern is out there but may need to make a much better sequel.  And even start dropping hints about them getting together as a team. 

So far the only movie that I’ve seen by DC that caught my attention is Lobo… Which may be good if done correctly but would have probably made a Martian Manhunter movie instead.   That would have been cool. 

Personally I love DC Comics always have but Marvel is killing them in the movie dept.  Someone needs to light the fire and get the ball rolling before JLA becomes the next 2.99 DVD at your local Walmart!!!!

I’d be down with that. A Batman that’s a bit less reality based, with at least Robin or somebody else helping him. Another direction would be fine with me.

How about a Batman movie by Dini/Timm? Or something close to the comics? Robin? Batman Beyond?!?

Try something innovative for once like skipping another reboot that would simply retall Batman’s origin all over again. Pinheaded lemmings need shit like that, not audiences who’ve seen it all before, and recently to boot. Stick with the world that fans have come to know, and perhaps let The Dark Knight Legacy unfold with a new character (Nightwing perhaps).

You’re Joker Crazy…

The ending of Nolan’s trilogy was just to tie any loose ends by leaving gotham with a protector. His series revolves around Bruce Wayne and has no intent of any one picking up the series and doing anything with Blake’s character. Also, if DC plans on doing a JLA film they need a Bruce Wayne batman. They’ll need to do a reboot eventually anyways, so they may as well start ASAP. 

A reboot doesn’t necessarily imply an origin story. Adding onto Nolan’s trilogy would be disrespectful to something that is so complete, also they need a Bruce Wayne Batman for a JLA film. A reboot set 1 year or 2 after his start and did a Batman and Gotham similar but unique to Nolan’s could really work. Why not have a Batman story that really emphasizes Bruce Wayne’s intelligence and detective skills? Also, they could do a Batman film franchise that incorporates a Robin character. It could be interesting if they introduced a jason todd robin in the first film, killed him in the second and had him return in the third as Red hood.

Wrong it’s complete the way it is.. Someone else mentioned Blake’s story could work better as a comic adaptation, which i agree with. But, let’s look at the facts, both Bale and Nolan have publicly announced they are completely finished with the series. Also, Nolan has stated his universe is made separate from a universe where other superheroes already exist. WBs intentions with a reboot are for a JLA film, which would most likely include a Bruce Wayne Batman. So, it’s not even viable for another director to pick up from where the DKR left off. And finally why should they drag on something that’s so perfect the way it is? A reboot will happen eventually, so why not ASAP? All of Batman’s characters have been reinterpreted countless times in the comics, film and animation. So, theres plenty of source material for another successful Batman franchise that isn’t a ripoff of Nolan’s Batman. So, really it’s not foolish at all to make a reboot, as there are far more pros than cons. 

Christopher Nolan’s vision of the Dark Knight is amazing. But it’s only one man’s vision. Batman is a character whose story can be told in many ways. I’m always game for new visions. I’d love to see a live-action version of Batman: The Animated Series, for example, something very stylized and different from Nolan, yet also very true to the characters.

The past…

            My mother had past away
when I was nine with cancer. She named me Robin because she said I was small 5
pounds and 5 ounces and that my first crys sounded like a bird and a robin was
her favorite bird. She put me in gymnastics when I was seven I won my first
middle 3rd place she was so proud of me my 3rd place trouphie felt like 1st.
She told me if I put my heart into anything I will be a winner. I won 1st place
trophie when I was nine she was in the hospital then. I put my 1st place
trophie in her casket when she past away. My gymnastics ended there.

            My father became a drunk.
I havn’t hardly seen him when my  mother
was alive because he was always working. Now I wish he was the one with cancer
instead of mother. He’s in ass when he’s drunk. He threw a bear bottle at me
with out of anger. He missed but thats not the point. I always went to school
with bruses because of my father he was always abussive. My school finaly
called CPS and I became in orphan. There was a bright side being an orphan, I
met a girl Harley Quinn my true friend. She also had a story Her parents were
murder by a man she told me she herd one of his men said his name Oswald
Cobblepot. She told me she was 6 when that had happened. She’s my age she told
me she been here 3 years since I showed up. She said I’m the 1st person she
ever told. She was the only person I told my story too as well. We had a strong
bond. 2 years later my father been murder. 

               We went our seprate ways after highschool.
High school was kind of hard for me though. I had been in fights after fights.
I got tired getting pick on. One time Harley Quinn stand up for me she saw 4
jocks beaten the shit out of me geting kick when I was down she sent all 4 of
them into a hospitial bed. She was a fighter she seem like a female version of
Bruce Lee. Our relationship grew stronger. Did I ever told you she was the
first girl I kiss the first girl I ever I fallen in love with. We graduated
hand by hand. Then later on, we went our sperate ways.

            I’d change my name to John
Blake, and became a rokie police oficer working beside Gordon and Batman him
self. I was a hero as well who help baman save Gotham City…

Present day…

            I have discover the
batcave and its now up to me to protect Gotham City now that the bat is now six
feet under. I’m Robin once more.

Three years later…

            Wayne interpipres is
almost finish built and Lucious Fox is the one who is now runing things.

            I and Gordan have clean
half of the the streets and put the back behind bars. The mayor had built a new
prison to put the criminals in. it has 
its own island in the sea it cost a lot of money to built but its worth
it.  So if someone trys to break out the
prisoners like bane did they be surounded by water, so there wont be away for
them to escape. Only if they swim to shore. Selina Kyle had came back to gotham
to help out to make things beter I belive Bruce Wayne have Change her ways but
so bad that he’s no longer.

            How many times this city
has fallen; by Ra Ja Gule, Joker, Harvey Dent, Ja Gule daughter, and Bane. It always
raises back up. And the villians ends up dead like joker been put into a
electic chair. Now that batman is gone there are now more criminals and biger
threats. Like Olswald and his thugs are kiilen inocent people. So many people
wants to see this city dead completly.

            The cave

            I have been in this cave
for hours creating my own symbol I had took the batsuit armor and had changed
it to my own suit My robin suit. I also have been training my self to become a
better fighter for if the worst will come.

I probley not as strong as batman but I’m much faster then he was. So I use
my speed as my greater strength and mix it with my detecive skills what I
already know to become the better man I was ment to be. Now it’s time to test
my suit for the first time. I am Robin.        

The needs to be a.bat man moves with mr freeze in it it will be so cool…

It usually takes about 2 1/2 years to produce a film, and about 1 year until it first screens in cinemas! So if they started straight away your looking about 2015 maybe even early or mid-2016!

sounds to much like a DC shot at the avengers

I have seen the movie, loved it and can’t wait to see the spin-off anxiously waiting!
