They could retcon it, or something. It would very likely be lesser than TDK, but I'd rather watch a new Batman movie in the same universe and tone as Nolan's than Batman versus Superman.
Good to hear @Brady! Same here. My current hope for this DC universe is to have both the Batman we're going to see in MOS2/JL films plus a Batman Beyond series in the same continuity where you could have flashbacks with the Ben Affleck Batman (Return of the Joker anybody?). Of course this is a longshot but I maintain that Batman Beyond would make for one hell of a film series.
Yes. Why?
Just checking to make sure you weren't being shocked out of ignorance, that's all. Good to hear that you've seen it.
I'd rather leave the DCAU where it's at personally. They wrapped up everything from Batman TAS, Superman TAS, Batman Beyond and the JLU so well, it doesn't need to be done anywhere else. Those shows are all so close to my heart that I wouldn't want anything done without at least Dini and Timm on board. The DCAU Batman is the quintessential (and my most favorite) version of that character, after all, and I'd want him in good hands.
Not sure why they didn't just carry on from the Nolan films with Joseph Gordon Levitt as Batman, like they showed at the end of the last film.
Those two on the same scene will reveale Affleck as a total inept.
I was kind of hoping they partially ignored TDKR actually, and go to fill the 8 years gap between TDK and TDKR actually. For me, Batman has to be Bruce Wayne and I think this is how the general public perceives it. There was a mention in TDKR that the last official sighting of the Batman was eight years before, so I always assumed that there may have been unreported or unconfirmed Batman activity in the eight years gap.
That's actually how it should be though. While Batman's mind and body that he has spent years crafting offer his opponents a nasty, near insuperable challenge, at the end of the day Alfred is very much Bruce's Batman, someone who puts him in his place when he needs it or makes him face the reality and risk of his actions. Michael Caine and Christian Bale were great with this aspect of the Bruce/Alfred relationship, where Caine was always the one giving the wisdom and giving Bruce the guidance he needed. All of Gotham may rest on Batman, but Batman needs Alfred to keep him going as well.
They still could have set it between TDK and TDKR, given that TDKR is the movie quivalent of The Dark Knight Returns, a movie that could be considered out of continuity. I guess in an ideal world, I would have had Batman 4 set in a semi-continuity with Nolan's films, taking into account the events of the first two but ignoring partially the events of TDKR.
Don't pay attention to them. They are just trying to get a rise out of us, and failing miserably. ;)
I don't know whether BB or TDKR is last for me. They are all brilliant films in one masterpiece trilogy, and I don't like ranking them anyway considering they are all so different in their own right. If anything, I think TDKR is the most powerfully emotional of the lot for me.
I think it has it's moments, the scene where Gordon realises who Batman is was done brilliantly and the flashback to Begins was great but it all became to big and epic for me and Baine sounded like Yoda crossed with Mola Ram.
Personally, I think BB is far and away the best film of the trilogy. It's on a par with Raiders as a blueprint for top-notch blockbuster cinema. I'm a massive fan of TDK, but objectively I think BB is ultimately a more rounded, cohesive and simply stunning movie.
I think Begins is fine enough and it feels more comic booky but maybe I just prefer the epic crime Mann like feel of TDK, I really think if anything compares with Raiders in the blockbuster arena and it doesn't apart from Jaws then Nolan's 2nd Bat flick is the one that will take that accolade.
