Should the Dark Knight Trilogy have gone the "Star Trek Beyond route"?

[Awest66]

The main issue that many have with The Dark Knight Rises really seems to be the choice of story that Chris Nolan went with and how he made it a conclusion rather than just another installment in a series.

Given that Star Trek Beyond recieved rave reviews, Would any of you had rather a similar thing happen to the Batman series. Where Nolan refused to come back so WB brought in another director to make a sequel to TDK? Odds are that director would've probably done what most fans were expecting (set shortly after TDK, Riddler as the vilain, Obligatory Joker reference)

No. Batman in any era doesn't need to take inspiration from Star Trek. No, no, no, no, no.

....TDKR has better reviews than Beyond.....

I would've preferred more Nolan verse over a murderous Batman

I was getting tired of the Nolan films, way to grounded. It would have been nice to see Bale playing Batman under another director but I'm perfectly happy with the Batfleck right now.

No. I'm glad Nolan got to end the trilogy his way. Now nobody can tamper with it. Some people really need to get over this (meaning Bruce retiring from Batman for life) already and move on.

Since TDKT was far better and certainly far more successful than the new Star Trek Trilogy (which may not even see a fourth film due to poor box office), I'm going to go with NO.

I don't want a continuation of Nolan's trilogy. It wraps up so nicely in TDKR that any more from the TDKT continuity would be less Star Trek Beyond and more George Lucas.

I'd rather they do more with Batman straddling the line between hero and villain. Its almost like a CBM send-up of a twisted hero's journey tale where the hero may actually be the tale's obligatory "dark lord," if you will. Delve a bit more into the psychological side of it to balance out the action - that would be my only real complaint for the direction they're taking the Dark Knight at the moment.

Yeah, the Nolan trilogy just slipped by. Nolan made DKR JUST good enough. Not bad, but not great. Overall a FANTASTIC Trilogy, and I'd have it no other way.

The Nolan Batman wouldn't feel right under any other director. He has a very specific style.

If anything, another director could have taken the John Blake character and do something with him, and distance it.
