: this probably isnt true, but Liz Smith says Warner Bros is considering Ben for the next Batman movie....i know everybody here has already cast this film with viewaskew characters in there head many times(ethan as the penguin, jason lee as...the joker, i dunno) but Ben would be great as Batman...hopefully if they did the whole Year One thing, that'd be awesome, and if they hardly even showed him in the batman suit, not until the end, it could be a great film, better than all the others. Especially if someone like David Fincher could direct.
In my opinion I think the whole Batman movie francise is close to dead. 'Batman and Robin' killed it. I personally can't take the movie francise seriously anymore. While I think that a Year One movie would be a decent step in the right direction, I still think that the francise needs a decent rest.
What they oughta do is make more animated movies. THAT is where it's at. I'd LOVE to see a Batman Year One animated movie.
I STILL think they gotta make Kevin's script (with the appropriate tweaking) into an animated Superman movie. Tell me that wouldn't kick ass.
And what's this talk of a Batman Beyond live action movie? Hmmmmm...
