The Dark Knight Rises We Believe in Frank Miller

[jaienviedechier]

Quite frankly, the directorial torch should be handed over to Frank Miller for the most anticipated third installment of the Batman saga.

Miller's masterful graphic novels greatly influenced BB and DK. We all know that if it wasn't for him, BB and DK would not be the movies that we all love today. Now, it is fair to say that he should be given the directorial reign for the next film so that he can give us his epic vision of the dark knight.

ummm NO...

 

[Two-Face]

No way.

 

[Hoosier Boss]

The closest Miller came to the realistic approach Nolan so successfully employs was in Robo-Cop 3. May I respectfully remind you that Robo-Cop 3 sucked on a whole new scale.

Miller is great at what he does well. Directing a third film in this series is not it.

No:

Miller's RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3 scripts had been drastically re-written. "Working on RoboCop 2 and 3 I learned the same lesson," Miller said, "Don’t be the writer. The director’s got the power. The screenplay is a fire hydrant, and there’s a row of dogs around the block waiting for it."

Chris Nolan should do his third with Bale and finish their trilogy first. Only after that should the directorial torch be handed over to Frank Miller to direct his own Batman movies based on his Batman comics, with no connect to Nolan's films, because Nolan's realism clashes with Miller's surrealisms (flying Batmobiles, Robin and all).

 

[COMPO]

nah no Frank Miller, other people should have a chance to do their take on Batman. He's had his in teh comics.

 

[Two-Face]

I like to see David Fincher or unknown director like Nolan.

Nobody knew who Nolan was until he was attached to Batman 5 (it was 5 then)

 

[ross2287]

I say yes only so we can have a scene like this:

 

[Rezzo]

No, simple as that.

 

[Jack O Lantern]

I think that the Batman franchise and Superman franchise should change cast and crew to miss with our minds.

Don't mind me I just wanted to be long in a retrads thread.

 

[Frozen Soul]

Nolan is easily one of the top 5 if not 3 directors of this world at the moment.....

Replacing him would be a MAJOR MISTAKE

If TDK is that damn good, HE IS the main reason for that

 

[Maresk]

No, we don't believe in Frank Miller.
He used to be good, but nowadays he's just senile. Keep him away from the Batman movies. Hell, any movies that are not Sin City. It's bad enough to see him destroying The Spirit.

 

[DACrowe]

What's this "we" business?

An overrated comic book writer who burned out a decade ago in the medium and has since "co-directed" a single movie to be released and filmic style can be best described as "CGI-stylized and artificial" which is an exact contradiction to what Chris Nolan has done with the previous two.
You want an epic Batman movie? Go watch Batman Begins and especially The Dark Knight. There are two already waiting for you out.

 

[Apollo]

hmmm maybe..........like in 10 years...

Yup..

 

[3eyes]

in 15 years he can make dark knight returns, that would be ok with me

 

[Matt.S99]

DKR,yes, definetly. But not for these movies. And this is coming from a huge Miller fan.

 

[Darkly Dexter]

When Nolan finishes his saga, then Miller should take over and be the director. But this is Christopher Nolan saga and he should finish it (he has done a pretty damn good job, don't you think?)

 

[Pksoze]

Nolan's Batman is an optimist who believes in the pursuit of justice so much he is willing to destroy himself.

Miller's Batman (I'm referring to his good book not that All Star crap) believes he is above traditional justice, that being Batman is a sacred calling... he knows deep inside that Dent like all men can be monsters. He would not destroy himself but the system.

Miller's style has become increasingly pulp. His Gotham wouldn't be the realistic city Nolan set up but a sewer full of degenerates. In his Gotham the Joker would be right about the depravity of humanity.

So... I don't want Miller... I don't believe in that version of Batman. To be honest as many comics as I have read... I never felt Batman was more heroic than in the end of Dark Knight.

 

[smooth3006]

well nolan may not want to make a third and may not return for all we know.

 

[marukisu]

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Amen. I'm really fearful though for his take on "The Spirit." Some of it looks good but other parts of it look way-too-over-the-top such as: Samuel Jackson appearing in a pimp suit/furcoat and eyeliner and in a Nazi uniform. Seriously, I think Miller likes badging all of his villains as Nazis. You see iswastikas or Nazi uniforms in "TDKR", "Sin City" one of the goons has a swastika on his head, and elsewhere.

 

[Matt.S99]

Lol, you are right about the Nazi villains. But im really looking forward to the Spirit, IMO, it looks awesome.
