I have a bad feeling about this.
So do I.I hate to say it but unless they can get Bale back in the suit, there's just no point.
k up an open goal like watchmen takes some doing.ajprice said:
Yes, if its true to Returns, Bruce Wayne is in his 50's and has come back from 'retirement' to be Batman again. So older, but not The Expendables older 
To get a list going of possibles/wouldn't it be cool if...
Bryan Cranston
Liam Neeson
Viggo Mortensen
Woody Harrelson
Cranston could do gordon as i assume they wont get oldman again (or maybe not need him).To get a list going of possibles/wouldn't it be cool if...

Batman casting has me concerned as well tho. I dont think theyll go dkr age for batman, i think theyll go 35-45 max.

My concern is more snyder riding nolans success. Dark knight was good because of nolan and i suspect his input and audience expectation added up to a lot of the numbers MOS did. Snyder worries me as a director, he has very little real depth. To fk up an open goal like watchmen takes some doing.
Watchmen an open goal? The comic book that everyone said was unfilmable? If that is an open goal I'd hate to see what something tricky is!k up an open goal like watchmen takes some doing.Oxygen2k10 said:

An open goal? Really? A comic only the real die hard comic fans had actually ever heard of and which many deemed to be near impossible to adapt to film. k up an open goal like watchmen takes some doing.The Beaver King said:
Agreed, it's by far one of my favourite comic book films. It is a very 'marmite' film though, a lot of my friends didn't like it or understand what it was supposed to be.
In regards to the Superman/Batman film, all the right ingredients are there but I feel they will struggle to make it 'click'. It looks like the main players involved with making this are all from Man of Steel (Snyder, Nolan, Goyer) and The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan, Goyer), but I can't see how they are going to 'do' Batman.
The Nolan Batman just won't work in the MoS universe, he's too gritty and grounded a lot more towards realism. I see a new Batman coming in, but he won't be 50ish like the comics, more like 40's.
Unless they do something completely mental, like have Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Batman?!! That would allow them to reinvent the Batman, while not wiping over the Nolan era. Potential for Bale to come back at the end of the film, thus leading into a series of Nightwing films? Sounds crazy, but film makers aren't exactly well known for being source material faithful.

Word on the street is...
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in talks to step into the role, set years after the events of TDKR, he takes on the cape as Bruce Wayne is now either too old and broken or dead to do so and features in the new Superman movie, but isn't a major character - which will be closely followed by a prequel which shows his transition from Cop, to Robin and finally Batman.

Bale is 40 odd anyway. Dark Knight Rises showed him grey, with a gammy leg, at one point in a leg brace. He also looks older than Henry the neck snapper and fortunately he can act. To a lesser or greater degree actors really like money, no matter how much of it they already have.
The Dark Knight films made Warners literally over a billion. Why are they going to jettison a generations Batman, when the last film is not yet 12 months old?
My guess is they will have Bale back. Older than Henry but clearly no antique. I'd also guess they will base the film loosely around the Dark Knight Returns. It's all there. Bruce Wayne off enjoying himself with Selena, sees Metropolis getting annihilated by punchy and Zod and realises it could happen again. To Gotham. Who can stop the gods having a fist fight? Only the man with the gravelly voice. Maybe he starts working on it with Luthor, who knows.
I just can't see they will make it without Bale as Batman.
I'd be very, very happy if he did, but i just cant see it now.The Dark Knight films made Warners literally over a billion. Why are they going to jettison a generations Batman, when the last film is not yet 12 months old?

Cards on the table, i'm a huge, almost obsessive batman fan and i think the nolan trilogy is as close to perfect as could ever dare be expected with such problematic characters. It pains me to say this, but marvel handle their material so much better than dc. They should have chased bale on this one or used someone else credible.
Using affleck is a big, big mistake. Also he has a pudgy face with a butt chin. That cowl is going to make him look backward.
