What should the next Batman film be called

[ryankat]

What title should they go with for the Batman Begins sequel? Should they use something creative like Batman: Escellation or go with something plain like Batman II?

[Speedball]

Awwwww Crap. You again?
I like Escalation.

[Boom]

Batman: Cherry Bomb.

[Speedball]

Batman: Cherry Bomb.
is that a joke or are you serious?
Because it's pretty funny.

[The Chairman]

Batman 2: Electric Boogaloo

(I stole that joke from someone, but it was so funny I had to repeat it.)

Seriously, though, I've always loved Escalation. I don't know why, but something about it makes it perfect. Maybe it's Gordon's speech at the end, and the title just goes along with the mood he was trying to establish for the second film perfectly.

[kpjoon]

I don't know.

[Boom]

Batman: Hips Don't Lie.

[Alonsovich]

Batman II: The Quest for Piss...:o

[Mee]

I dunno, the title should fit the story, and I don't know what the story is other than Joker is the bad guy.

[The Fallen]

Batman: Dude, where's my Joker?

Batman takes Manhattan

Batman II: Batman goes to Hell

Batman goes to Space

Batman: Grease is the word

Batman II: Batman in the Hood

Batman II: Die Harder

[Boom]

Batman: Not Another Generic Superhero Movie.

[The Fallen]

Don't be a menace in Gotham City while drinking your kool-aid in the narrows

[SingItWithMeNow]

Batman: The Return of Turbo Kong

[FaT_tONle]

More serious note:

Batman COntinues
Batman Escalation
Batman Strikes

[The Fallen]

Batman: Michael Caine strikes back!

[Mito88]

you guys suck at the funnies.

[Joe Kerr]

Ummm.....
Batman:the Long Halloween.

[xwolverine2]

revenge of ras al ghul?........so he would be alive?lol

[ryankat]

revenge of ras al ghul?........so he would be alive?lol

This is just incase the rumors are true. If Ra's Al Guhl is alive he would be in one of the sequels I hear. That is why I came up with that title. I actually doubt he is alive unless he was revivied by the lasarus pit in between either Batman Begins and Batman II or Batman II and Batman III. I only put that title up for fans that belive he survived somehow. As for me, he is dead. No one could have survived that blast. If he did, I don't want to see a Ra's Al Guhl living on life support, barley speaking, and covered in 3rd degree burns all over his body.That is what would have happened if he survived but was caught in the explosion anyway.

[FaT_tONle]

Batman Strikes ain't really that corny... I honestly wouldn't mind... I think I'll pass on titles related to the Joker... we still need something original though... kinda like the matrix title... Reloaded was a genious title

[Robin91939]

What I want:

BATMAN BEGINS
BATMAN RISES
BATMAN: The Dark Knight

-R

[The Fallen]

Batman Strikes ain't really that corny... I honestly wouldn't mind... I think I'll pass on titles related to the Joker... we still need something original though... kinda like the matrix title... Reloaded was a genious title

Batman Strikes:

Alfred: Wadda we want?

Batman: A proper version of The Joker and more Holmes nipples...

Alfred: When do we want them?

Batman: NOW!

Coming soon...

[theShape]

Batman: Escalation.

Fits perfectly, of course. Maybe even Batman Continues.

I really wish that Batman Forever hadn't been taken by that movie, because it's the perfect title to end this trilogy. Batman Begins. Batman Continues. Batman Forever.

It's a cool title. Shame it's taken..

[The Kid]

Batman Continues

[Rexi]

Batman Continuesi really dont want a title basically everyone who saw Begins has come up with. Escalation is perfect, nolan if u r reading this, WRITE THIS DOWN!

[Equinox]

Just Batman 2...

[Shadow_Knight]

I don't know but I do like these titles alot.

Batman vs. The Joker
Batman: War on Crime
Batman:War in Gothatm

[thatsabadoutfit]

I think it should just be called 'Batman'. Sure all of you 89' will cry foul, so many movies are being re-made these days nobody else will really care. WB decided to reboot the franchise and start from scratch. This next one has the joker in it, so why not just call it Batman as well? Its about a name that can sell.

Im down for 'Batman' or 'Dark Knight'.

[jrs2345]

I voted for The Dark Knight. I honestly think Escellation is a horrible title name...I highly doubt the studio would call it something like that. However, like Gordon said, "I've been wrong before."

[Robin91939]

BATMAN DEFIANT is kind of growing on me. If the movie has a lot to do with the Batman and the Joker interfering with the mobs plans and causing a lot of trouble for everyone.

-R

[Batman1939]

Batman 2

[7Hells]

Batman and Gordons Excellent Adventure

I like Escalation but, as a previous poster said, we dont know the story so how can we decide?
Unless I missed something Joker as the main villian hasnt been confirmed anyway.
I'm not going to proper vote because you spelled escalation wrong :p

[StorminNorman]

I want Batman: The Long Halloween - I voted Batman: Haunted Knight because I think the title could work very well. For one HK wasnt a very popular Bat book - so the fact that it is also a comic name isnt that big. Two the name is very good for a Batman story IMO.

[Katsuro]

I still very much disagree with naming a film after a graphic novel that the story is not based on. People knock "Batman 2" for lack of originality, and yet some people want to just steal a graphic novel title. It just doesn't make sense to advertise a movie called "Batman: The Long Halloween" that isn't actually The Long Halloween. If I see a movie called The Long Halloween, I expect it to be about the Holiday killer and whatnot. If a movie is called The Killing Joke, Barbara Gordon better be crippled.

Another main problem I have is the confusion it might cause. I mean, we'd essentially have two Batman stories with the exact same title, and I'd be forced to forever specify which I one was referring to. And what if sometime down the future they decided to actually adapt TLH as an animated film (apparently DC is starting to adapt graphic novels), it would make it even more confusing.

Escalation is also a title I have much hatred for. No real reason behind it, just that it sounds stupid. It will forever conjure up that mock poster of Batman riding an escalator (the poster isn't to blame though, i felt this way before the poster came about). It's a silly title, and will in no way be marketable.

Just do Batman II, unless you can come up with a good sounding subtitle. That's subtitle, not a verb to stick at the end. Something similar to "X-Men: The Last Stand" would be nice. A graphic-novel-esque title, without actually taking one from an existing graphic novel. Still, Batman II would probably be ideal. Simple and effective. And it'll finally get people to stop calling Begins a prequel.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I like Escalation. It rings from the ending to the first one.

Naming it like a graphic novel would be bad, unless it's BATMAN YEAR ONE......but, who knows.

Batman II sounds like a cop out, and wouldn't exactly ring well with Batman Begins already out. I mean, I think if they were going to do that, they would have left Begins out of the title. So, I think we're not getting any numbers b/c of that.

Do you mean calling Batman Begins "Year One"? I've heard people suggest Year One as a title for the second, and I have to say it's probably my least favorite title yet. Imagine it, you just saw a restart to the Batman franchise, and are awaiting the sequel, then you learn the title of the upcoming batman movie... "Batman: Year One". What?! Didn't they already do an origin story?! It would just be confusing, as Year One sounds very blatantly like an origin story (since it was an origin story). Besides, he's already been active a while, so you'd have to call it "Batman: The Last 3/4ths of Year One". or perhaps "Batman: Months 4-12".

Then again, we coud adopt that as the naming scheme for the new Batman series. Call the third one "Batman: The Early Days" followed by "Batman: Beginnings" "Batman's First Adventure" and "Batman: A Prequel" (it wouldn't be a prequel though).

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, I think you can call it Batman Year One b/c it'll be hist first actual year. But, I've heard that the film will take place already a year after the end of BEGINS. So, if that's true the title would just be crap.

I guess they could probably go with something that hints at the Joker. Like Wild Card, or Die Laughing, maybe?

I'm guessing Nolan already has a name ready, and probably already had one from the point of naming the first one.

[R_Hythlodeus]

bantman evolves is currently my favourite. don´t know why, but it just seems to fit

[Alonsovich]

The Wayne Supremacy...:o

[Cinemaman]

Batman II is enough.

Or maybe Batman: The Legend, which sounds not bad.

[Mr. Thing]

I want to hear something about the story before I think of a name.

[Batty Belfry]

I want Batman: The Long Halloween - I voted Batman: Haunted Knight because I think the title could work very well. For one HK wasnt a very popular Bat book - so the fact that it is also a comic name isnt that big. Two the name is very good for a Batman story IMO.


Considering Batman's gallery of rogues, everyday in Gotham could be Halloween, so you never know, it could work.

It'd be cool to have a Halloween themed Batman film.:up:

[Freedom77]

i think Batman 2 would be fine, it would also show people that it is actually a restart of the series (yes some people still don't know).

Escalation dosn't work for me, it just.... dosn't. There isn't many words that would work in the same way Batman Begins did...

maybe Batman 2 : Aftermath :up::down

[raybia]

Why not just Batman?

[That-Guy]

Fear and Laughing in Gotham City

i would love it if he lived.....

he IS a ninja after all.:) .........maybe he pulled a hudini

i just wouldnt want them to ruin it in the title.......it should be a surprise,like barbosa being alive in potc2

lol, yes
Batman: Escellation

But nobody chose Batman:Vengence yet.
:(

[FaT_tONle]

Vengence for what??? Continues or Escalation are the best ones out there right now...

[Sharkboy]

Am i the only one who dosent like Escalation, i dunno it dosent click for me. Id rather they call it batman: the dark knight or something along those lines.

[FaT_tONle]

the thing is Escalation isn't about batman... all the titles have been about Batman... that's why they work better... Batman Begins is about Batman... Batman Continues is about Batman... Batman Strikes/Rises/Attacks all about Batman... that's why escalation is flawed somewhat

[JokerNick]

Batman Triumphant

you get a ecookie if you can tell me why this would or wouldn't be good

[Rexi]

Batman Triumphant

you get a ecookie if you can tell me why this would or wouldn't be goodsounds like shumacher came up with it.

[JokerNick]

sounds like shumacher came up with it.

close....... it was actually the original title of "batman and Robin"... it was later going to be the name of batman 5, but it was scrapped along with the movie......

[JokerNick]

I honestly like

Batman: The Dark Knight

[Sharkboy]

i would like it if it was something like The dark knight strikes, or the dark knight triumphant, but i guess the studio would rather have an nc 17 rated batman sooner than not have batman in the title at all. "Batman Triumphant" is a brilliant title.

[raybia]

sounds like shumacher came up with it.

He did.

[JokerNick]

i would like it if it was something like The dark knight strikes, or the dark knight triumphant, but i guess the studio would rather have an nc 17 rated batman sooner than not have batman in the title at all. "Batman Triumphant" is a brilliant title.

I really dislike the Batman (insert word) tittles.... I understand Batman Begins, but I think they should further seperate themselves from the other series..... I think they should got the star wars route, each have their own name....

The Dark Knight
Batman

[arty2]

I really hate Escalation, I think that has too many syllables for a movie title nor is it intense/strong enough. I'm starting to like Defiant, but my first choice would be Batman 2. I'm kinda getting tired of the Hero "Does something" in the title. I still think Batman Begins should've been titled Batman: The Dark Knight.

[DV8]

Batman: Eccelstation is the best choice :up:

[JokerNick]

third film

Batman: Betrayal

[Ronny Shade]

Batman: Eccelstation is the best choice :up:
You mean Batman: Eccleston? As in "We lied about Ledger"

[xwolverine2]

batman:jackulation

[Ronny Shade]

lol

[aroundthefur33]

vengence was a good title for the video game

[kytrigger]

The problem with calling it Batman: The Dark Knight is that it makes no sense at all. You are essentially just repeating his name. Now just "the dark knight" would be pretty good IMO.

Either that or the title: Batman Thinks of a Witty Title

[I Am The Knight]

Batman And The Silver Surfer.

Batman: Dead Joker's Chest

[raybia]

Batman: Dead Joker's Chest


hhmm, that sounds familar


Anything that helps the box office.

You know what? Screw it. Get Johnny Depp for Dent!!


DEPP FOR DENT

[I Am The Knight]

I wanted Depp for Joker. That was some time ago.....

[raybia]

Its not like he is a bad action. Yes, he's bigger than Bale but as long as Nolan doesn't give him more screen time then what difference would it make.

This movie would have a take to make Pirates type money.

[I Am The Knight]

This movie is gonna be bigger than Begins hopefully, it just seems right. Now, Pirates 2 money.....Well, that thing is a monstrosity.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think he'd had been cool, but what turns me off about him is that he's such a power house. I mean, Lots of people will need to be told that Ldeger was "one of the dudes in Brokeback Mountain". But, Depp? That man is known throughout the entire universe......I belive he's got 3 solar systems named after him. As well as EVERY woman wanting to have his children, and EVERY man wanting to be him.....I dunno, the dude is just too huge a name for a role that will only be 2nd to Batman/ Bale. You risk getting hit with TONS of criticism if you do it right, by having Batman being the lead character.....and not having the Joker run the film (again..).

That'd be my only gripe with Depp as the Joker.

[I Am The Knight]

Heh yeah, he was huge before, but now he is just too big for the sequel, would probably be too distracting from everyone else.......At least we know Ledger will probably not have that same effect. :)

[raybia]

I think he'd had been cool, but what turns me off about him is that he's such a power house. I mean, Lots of people will need to be told that Ldeger was "one of the dudes in Brokeback Mountain".

What if you cast him as Dent?

[Van Petrol]

I like Escalation. It rings from the ending to the first one.

Batman II sounds like a cop out, and wouldn't exactly ring well with Batman Begins already out. I mean, I think if they were going to do that, they would have left Begins out of the title. So, I think we're not getting any numbers b/c of that.

Agreed.....it doesn't seems as though it would run well with it now..

[I Am The Knight]

I hate the names this movies are set up for. It's almost as annoying as seeing Begins and Returns not making more money at the B.O.

[Jack Napier]

Batman Continues? Maybe as a tagline that'd work, but that's such a boring title. Batman Escalation is just okay. I think Batman Rises is good enough that it'd work.

[raybia]

To be honest, I didn't think that Batman Begins was a very inspiring name.

But neither were any of the names of the Spider-Man and X-Men franchises.

So perhaps we are giving it more importance than what is necessary.

So I with that in mind, I would either name it

"Batman"

"The Batman"

or


"Batman Escalation"

[I Am The Knight]

Problem is that general audiences get confused with titles, and WB will probably want something that sounds ''cool'' against Batman. Let's drop the ''Batman Does Something'' titles and go a bit more Bond in the way the films are named.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

What if you cast him as Dent?

Well, that's the thing about Depp. I am convinced the man can BECOME any role, if he's got the right person to ase it off. And, he does that perfectly. I am convinced he could pull of the Joker and pull off Dent/ Two-Face.

But, raybia.....the thing I loved about Batman Begins, was that the movie was all about Bruce Wayne/ Batman. He was the center piece, and he was the main character. Everyone else was secondary, and that's the way it should be.

But, if you add Depp. I mean, mother****ing Depp? Damn, that'd be a huge draw.....and would create criticism b/c if you have Depp, you'll NEED to give him a huge part in the film. He's a heavy hitter, people go to see HIM. Not to see some of him. So, that could create horrible word of mouth, that there wasn't enough Depp.....or that they didn't let Depp act, or let Depp shine. Tons of that.

And, if they give in and give him the screentime...we get another BATMAN 89 film, which is a showcase of the Joker. I just don't want that. I want Bale to be the top dog, the man that carries the film because he's the man playing the Batman. I feel that with Depp, and he's a fantastic actor, he's such a powerhouse....it would change things too much.

But, I get you man. I do, the guy is an incredible actor.


Agreed.....it doesn't seems as though it would run well with it now..


Well I feel that if they were going to go with the numbers....that maybe BEGINS would not have been in the title. BEGINS being in the title makes me assume that they're going with titles, and not numbers.

I hate the names this movies are set up for. It's almost as annoying as seeing Begins and Returns not making more money at the B.O.


Didn't they BOTH make money though? I mean, Begins surprised people with it's numbers I think.....and Batman Returns was good enough that it got another film.

[raybia]

I agree that going the Bond route would be cool and new to the genre but with the name recognizition of "Batman", WB would never exclude it from the title, right or wrong.

What would be you suggestion for a Bond type title?

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, doesn't the Bond films have 007: ***title***?

[raybia]

:) Well, that's the thing about Depp. I am convinced the man can BECOME any role, if he's got the right person to ase it off. And, he does that perfectly. I am convinced he could pull of the Joker and pull off Dent/ Two-Face.

You're right and with all the trouble WB has gone through to resurrect this franchise it would be a foolish move to cast someone like Depp. Bale really has the chance to be a big box office name too so WB should keep the focus on the Wayne/Batman character.

I really think that Bale hasn't come close to peaking yet in this role and I have a feeling that there is a brilliant performance waiting to come of him at some point in the franchise.

You sir are the voice of reason! :up:

[raybia]

Well, doesn't the Bond films have 007: ***title***?


Do they? I'm not sure.

[raybia]

Batman: Demons of the Knight


I like this...a lot.

[captain_jimbo]

I quite like the idea of Batman: Killing Joke, which I voted for, or even Batman Continues.

[griffolyon12]

Batman:The Dark Knight or Batman 2.

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Nah, don't worry about it. I mean, Depp is a great actor. I think if cirumstances were different, he'd get the role. But, the sad thing is that it's not about his abilities, it's about the toher stuff, ya know? I guess Hollywood has a way of doing that, making things so complicated.

The thing about Bale is that he seems to REFUSE to cash in on anything. The man could probably choose some huge budget film to make, and cash in the bucks. But, he sticks to his Indie roots. I totally respect the dude for that. He seems to keep himself under the radar by choosing deeper, lower-key roles.

And yeah, your right....I think Bale will only get better as the Batman/Bruce Wayne. And, it'd be best to keep him in the forefront of it and keep the focus on him.

Voice of reason, eh? I guess I can try out being a Hostage negotiator. I always wanted to do that.....

[I Am The Knight]

Didn't they BOTH make money though? I mean, Begins surprised people with it's numbers I think.....and Batman Returns was good enough that it got another film.

Heh, I actually meant Superman Returns. Sorry, my bad. I mixed my frustrations with the Batman titles with the topic of how much money this franchise relaunchs are getting. Too much free time lately.....

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Do they? I'm not sure

I think they do. The thing is, it's not officially in the title. But, in the ads and the commericals and all that....the 007 logo is always there with the title. Plus, everyone is pre-disposed to knowing that Bond has different titled films....so we know that, and expect it. And, the commericals and ads ALWAYS let us know that it's James Bond. Either with the logo, the taglines, or the Bond music. The title alone might not let us know it's Bond....but everything else is amplified to let us know.

So....for Batman to do that, they'd need to amplify eveything else. Have the Bat logo near the name all the time. Keep the ambience.

But, I think it'd be tough. I'm guessing BATMAN: ***title*** is how it will have to go, just b/c WB might **** up on the marketing.

[raybia]

Nah, don't worry about it. I mean, Depp is a great actor. I think if cirumstances were different, he'd get the role. But, the sad thing is that it's not about his abilities, it's about the toher stuff, ya know? I guess Hollywood has a way of doing that, making things so complicated.

You cannot challenge Depp this day and age, the dude is a powerhouse. But, also....SR had suh a huge budget...WB set itself up for failure, when you talk about inflating a budget to that degree.

I think Batman Begins will be seen seprate, and that none affects the other. They're so different and in different stages...I think that's how WB would take it and not let one affect the other.

At least the Begins sequel won't have to go against something like Depp, hopefully that is.

That'll be what Bruce wears undercover as "Matches Malone".

[Ronny Shade]

Batman will be penetrated in the film?
no, Batman II will be penetrated. The original Batman will be doing the penetrating.

Batman Begins: Part II

[Ronny Shade]

Batman Begins was a sucky title. I guess we can't really expect a better one.

[JokerNick]

Batman Begins was a sucky title. I guess we can't really expect a better one.

yeah, if they would have called it

Batman: Year One

the sequels would name themselves

[Sharkboy]

but it wasnt REALLY year one, i would have prefered it if BB was called "The Batman" but that crappy cartoon had to go take it.

[Ronny Shade]

Yeah. The Batman would have been a good title. Me, being a Nolan-franchise purist, would vote they call the first film "BATMAN" and then the sequels would name themselves....(Batman 2, 3, etc.)

[JokerNick]

but it wasnt REALLY year one, i would have prefered it if BB was called "The Batman" but that crappy cartoon had to go take it.

it was year one technically, he didn't have his persona yet, but he was trying to fight crime as Bruce Wayne.........

idk... I just hope they stick away from "BATMAN (insert advetive)

[fabman]

batman begins was a good title!

[I Am The Knight]

batman begins was a good title!

Well, NOW it seems good, but it really isn't. It's effective though, and to the point. Much like ''Superman Returns''.

Batman Lord Of The Wings: The Two-face Towers

[Gonking]

I think the title should be "The Joker"

[kooguy911]

batman: avenger

[explode7]

How about Batman: The Jokers Menace.

[explode7]

OR Batman, Batman on the wall whose the best Batman of them all.

[Batman 4:20]

I'm going to use my first post on the forums, due to the next flick being centered a lot around Batman becoming allies with Gordon and Dent, to push for the sequel to be titled "Batman Befriends".

In all seriousness, I haven't heard a sequel title yet that I like.

[explode7]

Because in all seriousness it sounds like crap.

[Sharkboy]

i quite like batman: the dark knight something, but apart from that they all kinda suck, escalation is probably the worse title ever. Batman 2 is stupid and cheap as hell, im still annoyed that they didnt call spider-man 2, the amazing spider-man. they should just call it The Batman, simple, raw, and effective.

[Batman 4:20]

If you're referring to my "suggestion", it was a play on the title of the first film dripping with sarcasm. No way in hell I'd want them to call it that.

[explode7]

It will usually be one word if they are doing that title though just like Batman BEGINS.

actually if anything the first one should of been called 'The Batman' as that is what everyone referred to him as, due to them just naming him by what they see. It shows that he is yet to of established a reputation and was yet to of planted the fear into his enemies which was basically the whole point of the first movie. I think now that he has gained a reputation it should just be 'Batman: Fear Game' it also has hints of the Joker in the game part.

[explode7]

^Sorry dude but I think they might go for one word in the title.

[gvcool2]

^Sorry dude but I think they might go for one word in the title.

your most definetly right but the thread says 'What should the next Batman film be called' and although i thought 'begins' was a decent enough title I feel that a far more appropiate and effective name could be used, hell i even preffered 'Intimidation Game', it represented the psychology that played such a pivotal role in the movie.

[explode7]

Why "game". This is not a saw movie.

[gvcool2]

Why "game". This is not a saw movie.

firstly may i say that was a stupid reply on your behalf and secondly Intimidation Game was the production title (and mock title) that Nolan gave whilst the movie was in production and frankly I liked it

[explode7]

Well you get a stupid reply for a stupid post.

[gvcool2]

Well you get a stupid reply for a stupid post.

I saw nothing stupid in my opinions on what I feel would make a good Batman title, my only stupid decision was to reply to your post.

[explode7]

Dude cool the hell down its just a movie no need to bash people.

[IamtheBatman]

How about Batman Begins: Fear the Dark Knight!

[SentinelMind]

Uh, he never died.

The conclusion does not follow the premise.
