The Dark Knight Rises We Believe in Frank Miller

[Matt.S99]

Actually "IIIIIII" believe in Joss Whedon after Nolan. Im presuming Nolan will do one more movie and then after that the directors torch shuld be handed down to Joss provided he tones down the humor and wit for the characters and keep Nolan's dark rea;listic feel. Also i feel he wouldnt have trouble adapting villians that the fans like.

But thats just my two cents on who shouldpick up the torch

Ok dude, I konw you LOVE Whedon and Buffy etc, so do I, but this is getting old. It sounds like you want this to just become buffy all over again. You want a buffy related actress for like, all the female roles, now you want Joss to direct? Again, I love joss, he is my favorite writer, but his style doesnt fit into a movie like Batman.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I will still go see "The Spirit" and like it I just am fearful audiences will go see it and be like, "What the hell did I just watch?" I mean I had to tell everyone I knew at work or my friends what "The Spirit" was about, who wrote it, why Miller is directing it, etc.

They just thought, "Is it 'Sin City 2'?"

 

[MaJiN]

I wouldn't mind Miller writing the script. But I'm already fine with Goyer and the Nolan brothers.

 

[marukisu]

...

 

[zenith16]

Well they (Nolan and his cast and crew) did say they were influenced by Frank millers stuff and heavily so. I wouldn't mind if Frank miller wrote the script with the other writers or wrote and co- directed with them.



It'll just make it darker including the area's and aspects of the batman's mythos that Nolan can't see him self doing/ putting into it, but frank miller can show him the way
through that.

you other bat man fans should introduce to Nolan, bale, and Gary Oldman this.

watch the video. Since it's from Frank miller those three have to consider it, especially since they said they took a lot of his reference material. and it's more resent then dark victory(which it's Obvious he Bale didn't read) so it should be easier for Bale of all people to find.

It's on hyperspace and bale and Nolan know who they are too. So I'm sure they can supply them with it. It's up to you guys that want robin in or more likely to have a fast track to being night wing with a dark story as possible as shown in the video links of the comics, I just put up
by frank miller and Jim lee. I'm out. and make Richard older too . since that report was talking about Barbra being in the last stages of high school. it'll make sense. later.


So I say yeah. not a a replacement, but as a partner director.

 

[Brian2887]

After Nolan, it's gotta move to the hands of Joe Carnahan. He can handle gritty, crazy, and violent while delivering amazing action (something that's not Nolan's strong-suit), and a dark, but still fun, script. Check out Narc or Smokin' Aces.

 

[Riven]

Ugh, Frank Miller has not ONCE proved his skill as a director (I don't care how magnanimous Robert Rodriguez is, he alone directed Sin City) and you're thinking of him to follow (or replace?!) Christopher Nolan, one of the most talented directors working today??

Riiiight.

Frank Miller was a terrific writer/artist who did some revolutionary things to mainstream comics and crafted some fantastic graphic novels, but recently he's become a weak parody of himself (Sin City: Hell and Back, DKSA, All Star Batman, the upcoming Batman vs. Al Quaeda). He might display some directorial skill with The Spirit, I'm genuinely interested, but the trailer and preliminary pictures fill me with dread that it will rather be an overwrought, morose noir/pulp pastiche like Sin City instead of the delightful, inventive universe created by Eisner.

Furthermore, Miller seems incapable of writing Batman any other way than as a psychotic fascist, which was a cool hypothetical avenue in DKR, but has gotten stale since and is far from my favorite (or the definitive) interpretation of the character. So a third film by Miller? I'd rather have none at all!

Not nearly as bad an idea as Frank Miller directing one, but still terrible.

Tarantino's Batman? The Joker and the Penguin wisecracking in a car and planning a heist... Batman continuously spouting "cool" BS dialogue about his own secret identity and his need for revenge, revenge, revenge and occasionally flipping out in hyper-stylised kung-fu action during a ballet of blood and bullets... Every single frame an oblique reference to either an 1970's horror movie, Japanese classic or Spaghetti-western...

Yeah, great!

 

[Doc Samson]

Frank should never direct any Batman movie IMO, however, after Nolan & co. wrap things up in the next film, I really think they should do a live action "The Dark Knight Returns" in the future, Sin City/300 Style. Because honestly, after Nolan gets done, where else can anybody go with it? He's doing the definitive Batman stuff right now, in my eyes, and I can't see anyone doing the younger Batman years any better. Not to mention TDKR is the most influential comic of all time, I think it deserves the film treatment. Only issue is I think it should be rated R, and I can't see anybody letting that happen

 

[Leenie]

I wouldn't mind seeing Frank Miller directing a Batman movie ... I just don't want him directing the third one in this series of films. These are Nolan's movies.

I don't think he would do it though. I wonder if Guy Ritchie could do it

you have not seen the opening scene of Sin City on the roof top? that was the scene directed by Tarantino and he can pull off some pretty sick fight scenes

SB-P

 

[Gianakin_]

I thought the car scene with Jackie Boy's head was directed by Tarantino and the rooftop scene was a teaser that RR did as a demo for Miller.

 

[Superboy-Prime]

on the myspace grindhouse Q&A with tarantino and rodriguez tarantio said that he did the rooftop scene but the car scene was full of jibber jabber so it wouldnt be surprising if he did that too

SB-P

 

[Gianakin_]

I see. Oh, well, he did a good job with that one, too.

ummmm allstar Batman was done by some one (to a degree a small number of wirters.) else it was just "all star Batman and Robin." get it right LOL. we'll see when The Spirit comes out. any way if others that made movies from his other books of his writing see he is talented

and most of all this
Frank Miller talks about Martha Washington
http://www.spacecast.com/videoplayer_4261.aspx


I doubt they'll agree with what was shown from their saying here in those videos, that
he only writes in that one style you mention." But that's an argument for them to have with you not me. One type of story telling. pfft Well that Martha Washington story shows otherwise. LOL

 

[nOvAkAiNe]

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

i agree. all i have to say is "All-star batman and robin" not everything miller touches turns to gold. plus the spirit looks an awful lot like sin city.

 

[zenith16]

How so? sin city was pitch dark most of the time with certain shades of lighted colour. but mostly pitch dark. the spirit is bright light black in white who am I kidding their more colour in the spirit then there is in sincity. their not the same. I'll wait til that movie comes out be for I judge it. after all the guy that made the the spirit comics chose him.

 

[nOvAkAiNe]

it brings me feelings of nostalgia of sin city, the spirit looks good don't get me wrong. I just hope it doesn't play like a recycled version of sin city.

I don''t know I don't remember guys running on roof tops ala batman and dare devil style to get across town in sin city they looked down from them and jump down from them. but they didn't do that.(run across town from them) like I said I'll hold judgment until the movie comes out or at least more trailers. but their not the same to me. especially that music that's in the spirit it's way too well not moody like sincity. bah i'll just wait and see.

 

[nOvAkAiNe]

same here, i guess.

 

[Superboy-Prime]

sin city and the spirit are our generation of noir so of course they will look alike

SB-P

 

[DACrowe]

They're too silly to be our noir. They're too pulpisih. They homage B-movie noir, but they aren't along the lines of say Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon, Laura, Gun Crazy, The Big Sleep, The Third Man, etc.

I'd say movies like Seven, Fight Club, Memento, Hollywoodland, Gone Baby Gone and especially LA Confidential are closer to our generation's current efforts at redoing film noir. I'd say Heat and The Dark Knight also fall into that category.

 

[Boom]

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.

I would rather put my dick in an oven.

Have you seen what he's doing to Sin City? God no.
