Thread: Do you want Nolan's Batman to get a sequel trilogy?...

  1. #1

    Default Do you want Nolan's Batman to get a sequel trilogy?...

    ...Provided that The Dark Knight Rises is a success, of course. I don't know about you guys but I think regardless of whether "Rises" is critically and commercially successful or not, they should do a sequel trilogy with a new director either way because if they do another reboot right away audiences might get sick of it rather quickly. So, in the near-future the safest course of action would be to do a sequel trilogy no matter what, but if the audiences around all the world hate The Dark Knight Rises they should just make a few subtle references to the previous movie because a lot of people can easily overlook subtlety.

    I get the impression that unless Nolan feels there is more story to tell, he probably won't be involved in any Batman films after Rises. In any case, whether or not he's involved is irrelevant to the possibility of further sequels. Those are guaranteed at this point.

    I'm not talking about Nolan doing a sequel trilogy. I'm talking about somebody else (possibly another talented indy director) picking up where Nolan is gonna leave off and doing subtle references to Nolan's Batman trilogy while at the same time doing his own thing.

    I don't see it being good, so no.

    A new director will probably try to do their own thing rather than keep up with any previous mythos. Still, considering the rather positive fan reaction to Nolan's version, it may be years before we see another good Batman film as either

    a) most director's might be too intimidated to follow up Nolan's films out of fear of not being able to live up to fan espectaion.

    or...

    b) we'll get another talentless hack like Joel Schumacher who will run the franchise into the ground again and force another director to rise years later to bring the series back to it's roots.

    Either way, I'm not expecting another Batman movie for a very long time.

    Well, I don't see another reboot being good because I think audiences might be sick of the whole reboot thing by now. But studios value profit more than anything else so they'll continue to do them until the reboot fad burns itself out!

    Who's to say that another Batman movie will be made very soon after this one? Hollywood just might decide to hang back a while before green-lighting another one.

    Maybe, maybe not...All I know is, I'm not a betting man so I definitely wouldn't bet the farm on that assumption if I were you, guy.

    I don't see how it's a choice between a reboot or sequels. I think after this, Batman should get a damn rest.

    Really either route sounds like a horrible idea at this point in time.

    Considering the most recent Spider-man series began in 2001, the most recent of which came out in 2007, and the studios are already doing a reboot, it wouldn't surprise me to see more Batman. Especially with how popular these movies are.

    Would they be as good? Hard telling, especially seeing how tragically the Burton Batman series went downhill after he left. Just gonna have to wait and see.

    You really think the WB gives a damn about what the people want? They gonna continue making Batman movies regardless because The Dark Knight is their cash cow. And they're all about profit. Big movie studios like the WB and Sony couldn't care less about people like us man, all they want is our money and they're gonna continue to try to suck every last penny out of us!

    You realize that what "we" want will usually correlate with what we spend our money on, right?

    I honestly see either idea faring horribly, so it would really be just bad business.

    Well, there are quite a few people who flock to certain types of movies like sheep and the video game movie genre proves it. Personally, I stopped watching films based on video games at the cinema a long time ago but there are still tons and tons of people who keep spending their "hard-earned" money on like Resident Evil: After Life and thus the major motion picture studios keep making smurfing garbage like that. Anyway I don't WANT anymore video game-to-movie adaptations but apparently the idiots who love the lowest common denominator films do, so I'm over-ruled!!!

    Point is, we may not want anymore Batman movies in the near-future but does that mean the movie studios are gonna grant our wish? I doubt it. Because they didn't grant my wish when I wanted them to stop making video game movies. Because apparently the American Idiot community of bad taste, can't get enough of ty films like BloodRayne.

    I vote Hollywood takes a break from shoveling out superhero nonsense drivel and deliver a unique story.

    Either that integrate porn into everything.

    When was the last time that Hollywood had ever done anything that we wanted in the super hero genre before Christopher Nolan came along?
