Well, supposedly it's official: Christian Bale is the next Batman, according to Ain't it Cool News.

For those who don't know who he is, he's the crazy fuck in American Psycho.

Personally I wish they would disregard all the previous batman films and start back over again; I know it may sound like a rehash, but I wouldn't mind seeing Joker make a return.

What villians are left?? They're really going to have to start digging for losers like Killer Croc or that mafia puppet.

LOL well first rumor was it would be the Scarecrow *yawn* but now its some guy I never heard of (though I admit I never read the comics anymore)

That is why I would love to see them start all over.

I say the next villan should be the Mad Hatter.

I think the decision to kill Joker, Penguin, and other villans was stupid. They should definately start over.

Well, Catwoman's running around somewhere. Seriously though the Scarecrow is retarded. His ability is to make you scared of stuff. That's ALMOST as useful as a gun.

Killer Croc is not a loser!!!!!!!

He's awesome if done right, he can be played up as an outcast and made into a villian we feel sorry for,he can't help the fact he's slowly devolving into a the Lizard from Spider-man!

of course if he was in a movie he'd be a fucking joke, probably played by Vin Dissel in a gator suit yelling things like "Soon, Batman, it is you who will be extinct!" or "I'm going to make a purse from YOUR hide!"... -___- maybe the next Batman will be written by someone who knows and loves the comics as much as the people who wrote the recent Marvel movies instead of someone who says "I've only seen the Adam West show, so I'll make Batman a clown like in that... in this scene Scar-face pulls a lever to dump a million pies on Batman and Robin, then yells 'If you think that's bad trying living your life with a hand up your ass!'"

I suppose in all the Batman movies nobody is going to be bothered about who is going to be the next Batman. All the precious batmans never got a push in their acting careers anyway.

Everyone is more interested in who is going to the villian. And yes I opt for a return of Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, Riddler, Two-face...even though they are already deemed as the classic villians.

This movie is supposedly about a younger Batman (mid-late) twenties. Kind of like when he was first starting out, but not exactly a year one. A more back to basics Batman.

so, it kinda is starting over in a way.

Ra's al Ghul was the other villan mentioned, and in the comics, Batman and Ra's are pretty much equals. So, that would be cool to see.

Croc always seemed like a poor man's Bane to me.

Anyway it's sad that they canceled the tv show since clearly people love Batman due to the videogames and constant crossovers on other WB shows.

well Bane IS a whole lot cooler then Croc, but Croc... yeah you're right, I still think he'd make a cool visual effect though... so maybe they'll pull a Batman 4 on us and have Croc be Scarface's shitty mute lacky!!! Just like Bane was Ivy's shitty mute lacky!!!

It's rumored a NEW Batman cartoon is in the works, and if it's true the movie is about a young Batman then the rumors seem even more likely... hopefully it replaces that Goddawful Justice Leauge.

Cool. I agree that JL was pretty dumb. Everyone felt out of place and they were never in plaincothes so it seemed wierd that they decided to go out to restaurants in their super hero uniforms. There were also WAY too many aliens and they only had like 3 episodes.

I liked the Flash though; he was pretty cool.

Not a rumor, it's actually being developed by the producers of Static Shock and it's going to be called "Batman Wired"

I would rather see it done by Dini/Timm/Murakami/Brunett/etc but who knows, it might turn out to be good. I remember having very low expectations about Batman Beyond and turned out quite good.

Also, Bale was my favorite of the many mentioned candidates, so it's good to know that Batman WON'T GIVE UP WITHOUT INCIDENT.

The problem with JL was they never played up the importance of each team member it was almost always the following team:
-1 Superhuman male w/flight (Superman or GL)
-1 Female (WW or Hawkgirl)
-J'onn
-1 or 2 extra heroes (almost always Flash, sometimes if he wasn't the Superhuman male picked GL is here too... occationally this is Batman)

and the no secret identities doesn't work in JL, they're doing it in Teen Titans but it works in that case since aside from Robin they don't have 'normal' forms... but in JL it's out of place, they don't even take off their masks when they're wounded and require undressing!

Flash was definately the best new aspect of the series... makes me sad the WB never let Dini/Timm run as wild as they wanted the DC universe (they wanted to give the Flash and Wonder Woman their own series, but WW was shot down in favor of Batman Beyond... they also wanted to do a series based around the GL Corp. but never got past the design work)

Really?! I had heard of Wired (though never really what it was going to be all about) but I also heard there was a second project being tossed around about a young Bruce Wayne (sort of an animated version of year one only for kids)... so are they the same thing? or is Wired being produced instead of young Bruce or what?

If they do this... THEY NEED CHRISTOPHER WALKEN!

I don't care if he was in Batman Returns, he needs to be Ra's al Ghul.

YES!

I personally think Walken should play not only Ra's but EVERY skinny male Batman villian! the Joker, Mr.Freeze, the Riddler, Ra's, Two-Face, Roxy Rocket, Firefly, Mutant Leader... everyone!

Not just because he's creepy and has such a cool way of talking... but because should the villian bust into a spontanious song and dance number (and if it's like the other 4, is that so hard to believe?) there's no better man for the job.

Walken is hilarious, but creepy at the same time. Listening to the guy talk is amusing... very amusing. A few weeks before I left for college, I met this dude who talked exactly like Walken without even trying... he just has his voice! It amused me endlessly. I wanted him to make books on tape for me. It'd be killer.

In fact... Walken books on tape would be a great thing. I'd pay lots of money for that shit...

Remember that episode of just about every '80s and early '90s cartoon where the characters would be sucked into a virtual reality video game and the show would become a shameless ripoff of Tron for thirty minutes? And, of course, the characters would be wearing ridiculous suits covered in glowing green electrical circuits because computers are incapable of representing a human shape that looks any less hokey than that?

Welcome to Batman: Wired. Enjoy your full three episodes of uncontrolled vomiting before someone cancels it and replaces it with the same show in two years, minus Batman. Make a note on your schedule to be shocked and horrified when "Virtual Cyber Warriors: A Politically Correct CyberAdventure Through the CyberWorld of Cyberian CyberLand" premieres on Kids' WB in Fall 2006.

And the problem with Justice League, like all of the recent superhero cartoons, is that they think kids are stupid. They're too stupid for the superheroes to be human beings, they're too stupid for any plot more sophisticated than Elmo and Big Bird teaching kids the value of friendship and how to count to 4, and they're certainly too stupid to remember what happened more than a week ago. Batman:TAS assumed none of these things, and it spanned 85 episodes, a theatrical movie, and several direct-to-video sequels, all of which have been fairly successful. Batman Beyond and Justice League have assumed all of these things, so Batman Beyond barely lasted two seasons and Justice League is on the rocks.

I've only seen the Batman cartoon incarnations, so I'm not as skilled in Batknowledge as some.
But what's wrong with the Scarecrow? Did you see his design in the newer Batman episodes, when he shared an hour on WB with Superman?? That Scarecrow was fucking scary. I'm sure you could find pictures of him online. He wasn't just some clown in a queer red suit. he had a whole huge ass zombie look going on. I would love to see him like that. And making him do things like use his nofear potion on stuff leading people to kill themselves and stuff and Batman has to investigate.

What about Clayface?

He most certainy has some potential to both show off cool visual effects, and play a part in an interesting story - I only learned about the character in the animated series, but I recall he was an actor, so maybe he could pull off some interesting social engeneering tricks to make the plot more interesting...

Man-Bat also comes to mind, but I practically only know him by name, and he doesn't seem that interesting...

I wish they hadn't made Two Face so flippin' uni-dimensional... -_-; He's a character with so much potential...
at least if the movie's plot will take place before the previous movies', maybe we'll get to see ol' DA Harvey Dent playing some part in events...
