spinoff.comicbookresources.com/2011/03/29/wb-developing-new-justice-league-plans-to-reinvent-batman/With The Dark Knight Rises having a definitive ending to the trilogy, I'm all for starting up another set of good Batman films, I just hope they aren't jumping into it too soon to cash in and make huge casting/directing mistakes. As far as a JLA film goes, I imagine it'll be a huge flop. Green Lantern looks terrible and Superman could quite possibly end up the same, plus it'll have a new Batman. Then what? They'll be stuck with a pretty bad stigma before the film even hits. But whatever, that's far off.

Not a big fan of them rebooting Batman so fast, and I've never really cared for the Justice League but depending on who they get to write and direct it could maybe somehow it'll turn out to be good.

Why don't they just make a new movie, is this really going to be how it is forever? Nothing new gets a chnace and its just reboots, remakes, squeals, based of this and that stuff? Ughhh...

YES!
Awesome news, so stocked to hear about both. Big JL fan, and am 'meh' on Nolan's Batman films if I'm honest. This is great news, hopefully the new Batman will have more of a gothic, not so realistic sense to it.

What do you mean? We just got Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim as far as getting something new from comic adaptations goes and if you mean in general, Hollywood blockbusters are far from the only movies out there.

Just read about this on the Megadeth forums. My thoughts are:
If they wanna re-boot Batman for a Justice League movie, then that's okay. I don't think Nolan's Batman would fit in a Justice League, nor would the Justice League make any sense in Nolan's realistic universe.
But if this is just a re-boot for money-making (Spider-Man?) then I'm going to be upset. As a Batman fan, I'd still see it, but after Nolan's films I'd be skeptical about the direction they'd take Batman.

as long as they keep batman dark and serious and stay away from light and cheerful, kid-aimed or teen-aimed approaches, remain true to the comics for the most part, and use respected production and acting talent, then i'm all for new superhero films

I really hope they lay off the Batman films for awhile. I think they would be jumping into a reboot too quickly, especially after the success that the current Batman films have had. As for a Justice League movie, I'll give it a shot, but it'll most likely be terrible.

I hope that, after The Dark Knight Rises is done, they don't just reboot it almost instantly. Of course, it will more than likely happen, due to it being a massive cash-cow for Warner Brothers.

I really don't want another recap of Batman's origin

If 'definitive ending' to this Batman universe means they're killing him off, then I'm gonna be highly upset.
As far as a JL movie- meh. I love the JL and JL:U animated series, and in live action nothing can ever equal their greatness.
Rebooting Batman would be interesting, they just need to attach the right director. This time around we need Robin, Nightwing, Clayface, Poison Ivy, Riddler, etc- the less realistic characters need to be brought to life just the same as the 'hardcore real-life' ones do.

I would genuinely love to know how DC and WB are gonna get it together to do a JLA movie.
DCs internal structure is a well documented mess with it being a labyrinth of competing departments instead of a unified team(like Marvel etc)
the fact that DC/WB have a massive advantage and cant seem to exploit it in any fashion besides Batman is amazing to me.like whers the Flash and Wonder Woman movies?its not like DC has to shop these ideas out to studios they are owned by one.
and the fact that both parties thought Millers JL was a good idea does NOT fill me with confidence

I really hope they don't redo Batman. Just pick up where they left off with Nolan/Bale. Maybe have Eric Bana play Bruce Wayne.

They're not really re-inventing Batman's story or anything, I doubt the JLA movie would go deep into his backstory. It's just using a different lore of Batman, the lore that fits with the JLA. Christian Bale's version of Batman, like others have said, would not fit in with the group.
Hell, animated series do different lores ALL the time. Superman, especially. Sometimes, he's with other people. Sometimes, Lois knows he's Superman, and in others, she doesn't.
I mean, in Smallville, they even made him telepathic for an episode...
Different incarnations are fine. It's not taking away from Nolan's movies, it's just a different thing altogether.

I think the call to keep Batman dark and gritty defies decades upon decades of printed source material. Nolan's Batman universe works for one aspect of how Batman has been told over the years, but face it - Batman, at its roots, is far, far, far from "realistic".

I love Batman so the more the better just as long as the standard isn't abysmal.
Never got into Justice League but I would go and see the film anyway.

It's kinda crazy that WB is already planning another reboot of Batman after TDKR, but it is Hollywood and Batman rakes in a lot of cash for the studio. I do hope it's different than Nolan's films (and I adore his Batman franchise). It's always nice to have something different.

I still say Batman could be carried on the way James Bond has been. You don't need to reboot it every time, you just need set up loosely connected stories.

Not sure how I feel about the Batman news yet. I don't really want a sequel or a reboot, but I love me some Batman
