There's no doubt that one day Batman will be rebooted. However, I absolutely feel now, meaning anytime within the next ten years, just isn't the right time. Look at The Amazing Spider-Man. Sure it made good money, but is it really setting the cinema world on fire by comparison of it's predecessor. Batman Begins took a quiter approach as well but strong word of mouth launched massive hype for it's sequel with TDK. The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it's like nobody even cares sadly. WB should be looking at this. With Bale all they need is a couple more performances out of him for a World's Finest and a couple of Justice League movies. He could easily play this role until he's 50.
Its predecessor only did so because there were no other superhero movies at the time. The only other franchise that was running at the time had been X-Men. The last successful one had been Batman and that crashed and burned. X-Men and Spider-Man were both mediocre movies, but they got attention because they were two of the very first CBMs based on major characters. But that's about it. Period. And how exactly does nobody care about TASM 2? It's been getting as much coverage as Iron Man 3 when it was filming, maybe even a bit more. It already got more coverage than Thor or The Wolverine. Heck, it gets more press than half the MCU.
Also, if James Bond can go a maximum of 4 years without a new movie, I don't see why Batman can't especially since Batman is a bit more iconic than he is plus much like Bond, he has had multiple different interpretations of him and different actors playing him within a very short gap of time. Bale is not attached to Batman in the same way that Christopher Reeve is attached to Superman, RDJ is attached to Iron Man, and Hugh Jackman is attached to Wolverine.

I just can't see him going back to France and retirement after JL
Bale might only be back for the JL movies. And I can't picture him sitting around waiting for something else to happen.
If Bruce forms the JL to protect Earth, then I see him expanding on those feelings to go on and form other heroes in other cities. Could even be Green Arrow in this universe!
Beats retirement![]()
Yup a few of us have brought that up before. Im a huge supporter of that idea. JL is Bruce's version of the league of shadows, been saying it for months and Ill keep thinking it's a great idea even if it's rebooted!I was thinking of parallels between the League of Shadows and Justice League.. Maybe Bruce's experience with Ra's will influence his decision to form a League of Justice to restore balance
Sounds great! Im not sure if it beats having Selina every night thoughI just can't see him going back to France and retirement after JL

Scrap the America part though.Superman
We need a name
Bruce
The League of Justice
Superman
How about...The Justice League of America?![]()
It did come from SupermanScrap the America part though.
Blake needed Bruce's push in the direction.i don't get why people want bale to come back and have his bruce "train" people. the training is nothing. blake was never trained. in his eyes anyone can be a superhero. it's about the will to act. the nolan bruce was a slow fighter, and not even close to as intelligent as his comicbook counterpart. fighting for nolan continuity for continuity's sake is unsettling. why not put out a good story?
if batman never takes the mask off in justice league, then i doubt anyone will have a problem. that or a slightly younger bruce(bomer) could be a good restart for the character.
That's what we're trying to do, a good story. We've come up with many scenarios for a good story with Bale's Bats and I cant really think of any with the rebooted one, other than throwing him in there just cuz they need a new Batman for a team-up.
