Sci Fi Wire — The News Service of the Sci Fi Channel – I do hope it has the style of the first one. The rest of the Batman movies sucked teenie tiny rocks.
I have to imagine that the creators of these things hear the same thing over and over and that they would attempt to create something new and fresh, but to hold onto the part that everyone seemed to enjoy. The darkness and tone of the first movie. The rest had brighter colors and ridiculous lines. Ice dude Arnold? who thought that would be cool – cool pun, huh?!
According to the news clip:
Batman 5 is scheduled for release in 2005.
I think the idea about having robin killed in the beginning and having batman go into a rage. me, myself being a batman fan, wouldn’t want to see him do any bad, all good of course. but to avenge robin’s killer throughout the movie…that would be a great story line
I stumbled across this site after reading KnightFall.

I heard about the new Batman movie from channel surfing on my tv and heard something along the lines that King Kong was possibly going to be in the new Batman movie. Does anyone know what the deal is with that? Batman and King Kong in one movie together sounds a little weird to me.
Batman Dead End was a nice lil clip. Batman vs. Predator is a good idea.
I’ve been reading the Batman comics for years and I thought the first Batman movie was by far a great representation of the comics. I was a little disapointed with Batman Forever, but I was glad to see Robin in the mix, and I anticipated Batman and Robin as a movie from day one. I was EXTREMELY DISAPOINTED by the movie- WAY too excessive, what’s with the color pink?!. I love how Tim Burton’s Batman was almost black and white. It felt like an old 50′s ganster movie at times.
I was relieved to hear that Batman: Year One was being optioned as a movie because, perhaps once they got to year 3, they’d do some justice to the Batman and Robin duo. But that idea of course fell through and now Momento director Nolan is creating a “new vision.” Granted, he’s one of my favorite filmmakers, but I’m worried that it’ll just be another push on a cheesy toyline.
In agreement with “MaD_MoRmoN,” I’ve always imagined the Batman comic series “Knightfall” as the potential to be great movie series.
I hated that they just threw Bane into “Batman and Robin” for kicks. No one introduced to Batman with that movie is going to really know Bane’s purpose as a character.
I see Knightfall as a 3 movie set, like the Lord of the Rings trilogy (Knightfall is in fact, broken up into 3 parts) All the villans (from the Joker to the Riddler) and heros (Nightwing and Azrael) are in the Knightfall series. If the director took the time that they did with Lord of the Rings, they could make it worth while.
Obviously everyone does not know who characters like Nightwing is. If Knightfall was a sucess, they could go back and do a prequel to it, to explain Batman’s origin, as well as Nightwing’s in a 3 part prequel, perhaps based on Batman: Year One. I’m sure they could sell a few toys with that idea.
The most important thing that Warner Brothers should keep in mind is that not everyone that goes to see Batman is a kid. Don’t make the Batman movies into an excessive mess like Batman and Robin. Put the thought of a genuine fan into it, and you will create a masterpiece that we have recently seen in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (a trilogy enjoyed by kids and adults alike)
Does anyone who has read Batman:Knightfall agree with me?
Knight Fall would be a great choice like u said a trilogy. i would love to see azriel make the new costume with the bad ass claws and killing everyone!!!
the only thing better than a good frank miller year one movie would be a return of the dark knight with clint eastwood as an old tired and and badass batman. robert duvall as an old and bitter gordon and gary oldman as the “reformed joker”… now that would be batman movie….. all directed by david fincher.
