The Dark Knight Rises The Box Office Thread

[The Morningstar]

As good as that one is in Avengers, nothing will beat that one in Children of Men. God that film is so good.

 

[Doc Holliday]

For me, I see:

Brad Bird for Flash

Alfonso Cuaron or Darren Aronosky for Batman

Neill Blomkamp for Green Lantern sequel

Duncan Jones for Wonder Woman

 

[DoomsdayApex]

The Year One script was a product of WB wanting something radically different from Batman & Robin.

I still think a Fincher Batman film would be pretty damn awesome to see.

It would certainly be dark and gritty.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

A Polansky Bat film!!!

 

[Boom]

Imagine epic 20 minute tracking shots in a comic book film.

It's giving me hot flashes just thinking about it .

 

[Tacit Ronin]

A Fincher Bat film would give us the visually richest comic book film ever. Fincher is to genre filmmaking as Whedon is to genre writing. All shot in glorious HD video. I wonder what the pro-Nolan 35mm film enthusiasts would think about that.

 

[Blue Sugar]

Those tracking shots in Children of Men are glorious but as a movie it's overrated.

When it comes to the next Batman I would love if they dared to go a bit "brighter" again. Maybe make a great Batman and Robin action-adventure film, Brad Bird?

 

[Boom]

I would kill for a Fincher Batman film, but Robinov apparently harbors a grudge against him over their collaboration on Zodiac.

With Ryan Gosling as Bruce Wayne? I could so get behind that. But alas, it won't happen.

I loved Cronenweth's photography in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

How is Children of Men overrated?

Cuaron as the new director is not entirely out of the realm of possibility. If WB loves what he does with Gravity and the return is good, anything is possible. Although I have no idea Cuaron would even be interested in doing it.

 

[Boom]

I could literally cry over reading this .

How is Children of Men overrated?

Ok maybe not overrated in the general sense, but I have seen so many people on forums like this go ape**** over it. Calling it underrated so much it becomes overrated, full circle style.

I think it's good, just not great.

 

[Blue Sugar]

Still a big fan of Cuaron though and him doing Batman would be awesome, looking forward to Gravity.

 

[The Morningstar]

Children of Men is a bonafide masterpiece, i don't see how this is debatable.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I prefer Cuaron over Fincher.

WB must sign Cuaron.

 

[Boom]

Imagine a 20-minute tracking shot of Batman taking down a large group of thugs one-by-one; hunting them like a predator does its prey.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

What I love about Children of men is that it gives a big FU to exposition and only lets its visuals fill in the blank. Even on my tenth viewing I noticed something new in the background I didn't know existed before.

 

[lililatigresse]

Fincher is such a hit and miss for me. After Benjamin Button being such an epic fail, I'm not sure to like the idea of him doing "20000 Leagues Under the Sea". And even though he seems rather good with thrillers, I'm surprised at how mediocre "the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" ended up although visually beautiful. I definitely don't want him for Batman.

After Nolan, I'd like to see someone like Guillermo Del Toro.
