As long as Nolan, Goyer and company have nothing to do with it, I'm looking forward to the next Batman.

Batman

they need to continue where the Dark Knight rises left off so they can continue where the trilogy left off forthe solo film. they would need someone everyone could see as batman bruce wayne n need to have where each hero meets one another before they can make JL

well all these little problems that shouldnt be, First WB steps in and says "matter of factly" "oh, this is our new Batman, he'll be staring in Justice League" done, problem solved. every director on the planet has seen the chemistry with The Avengers and knows that casting the lead in the next Batman flick will be taken out of their hands and they have to understand that... hopefully the next actor that plays Batman will be a good and solid choice and be a fit candidate for Justice League and

Too bad it couldnt be Bale but alas... that's done now... time for new universe casting decisions.
I also do not think they need to "REBOOT" the franchise AGAIN... there's been 7 Bat-films total, why cant Batman appear in the justice league as is? Why cant the movie be about the forming of the League and tell the stories of all the hero's coming in and starting this League?

No matter what this is going to seem like they are trying desperately to reproduce the success of The Avengers.

They should make a Legion of Doom movie instead and give the baddies center stage.

Yeah, Batman doesn't need his origin retold. A two minute scene with a flashback to his parents getting shot should be more than sufficient. With this Batman existing in the same universe as Justice League, maybe we can finally get some of Batman's more unrealistic villains in the mix, though preferably much more well executed than Batman & Robin.

Fine by me.

It would be completely unnecessary to reboot Batman and have another origin story. There is nothing wrong with him just showing up in JL. The reboot film if after JL should act like the JL film happened and not ignore it(somehow I could see that happening). For the love of god will you please make Batman look like Batman. I was so pissed we weren't introduced to a new suit in TDKR.

No Bruce, No Clark

No Bruce, No Clark. Just Batman and Superman. GL, Flash, M Manhunter and Wonder Woman. Aquaman sucks but hell, him too. It's not like ANYONE is going to say... "Who the F is THAT in the bat suit? We KNOW who these characters are. Just give us a good story with them in it! The animated movies WB puts out are amazing. Do that, but on screen!

I'd like

To see Peter Jackson do JLA. Just my opinion. He usually has a problem with length but who doesn't want to see a 12 hour JLA movie? I sure as hell do. As far as Batman is concerned I see no reason why he couldn't be the Hulk of JLA.

Well I doubt JGL will have anything to do with it which sucks but you could have a story about a 3rd Batman, the on that takes over after Robin calls it quits, the way Robin took over for Bruce. That way you don't confuse the audience too much with a new Batman so soon.

Tying it together with Man of Steel

If WB was smart, they would give us an after credits scene in Man of Steel that has Green Lantern and the threat that is coming for JL. Darkseid perhaps? I'm not a betting man, but I'm betting Starro is out of the running for the villian.

I think at this point Warner Bros. need to see how well Superman: Man of Steel performs at the box office and they can go from there.

It's only going to work if they get someone similar to Nolan to build it. I know not everyone "loves" Nolan and all the praise he's getting, but I think him (and his team) were truly dedicated to bringing us the Batman we all wanted. Something serious and closer to the comics. I think they should invest in one movie before hand, wet our appetite. End it with Bruce bumping into Clark at the end or something. They have the chance to do something beyond greatness here, please don't fuck it up.

Too optimistic

2015 seems WAYYY too optimistic for me... Do they plan to just release the Justice League movie, without any solo lead-in films? I don't know of any DC films currently in production, apart from Man Of Steel and we can all assume that it will probably not be part of the DC Cinematic Universe, just as Nolan's Batman isn't. If they just release a Justice League movie in 2015, with The Avengers 2 just around the corner, it will bomb, BIG TIME. They need to take their time if they want this to work

They need to take their time if they want this to work and they need to release it like a year after the next Avengers movie. They also need to put someone who knows what he's doing at the helm of the project and the DC Cinematic Universe. The way I see it, all it takes is another lacklustre movie like Green Lantern and the Justice League project will collapse like a house of cards. DC and Warner have A LOT to learn from Marvel and I don't think that they are even trying to, at the moment at least.

it could work,as long as its a solid actor not some kid,i mean we all know Batman's origin, also we don't need a JLA movie a Worlds Finest could be good too,either way , the Avenger's formula worked but who knows,

It makes sense from a business standpoint. Batman is Warner's insurance policy to ensure that Justice League does well. Say all else fails and nobody's really interested in seeing these superheroes team-up, at least they know people will come in drones to see The Dark Knight (albeit a different version) return to the big screen again. So yeah, I guess it's a good move. It also gets to introduce Batman to a larger DC universe.

The only thing that they could do with the next Batman series to make it fresh and contend with Nolan's trilogy would be to go the Frank Miller, hard R Batman route.

Now, I'm not an idiot and I realise that that will never ever happen. So I'm merely putting it out there. Nolan has wringed out whatever there was to ring out of that type of realistic, "dark and edgy" and yet PG13 Batman.

It's either R rated or back to the Burton or... Joel Silver method.

This is the first brilliant Justice League idea DC has had. If you introduce the new Batman in the JLA movie you remove the doubt of that Batman existing with fantastical and/or extra terrestrial beings. It would be a strange jump for the Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale Batman to interact with Superman or Wonder Woman because he was so grounded in reality. I also like this because it's a separate all new Batman we've never seen before. I like Bats solo as much as the next guy but his banter

The only way the Justice League could possibly work is to bring in Christian Bale as the foundation, much like Robert Downey Junior did for The Avengers. Bale is not a GOD, he thinks he's too good for Justice League, that's horseshit. He could do it. If he appeared very briefly at the end of Man Of Steal, that would blow people's minds and kick start the momentum that could be bigger than even The Avengers. And they do'nt have to reboot Green Lantern just because it wasn't a blockbuster. Both

And they do'nt have to reboot Green Lantern just because it wasn't a blockbuster. Both Hulk movies were not big hits and he was the breakout character in The Avengers. Leave that film as a connected part of the universe. The only two films they have to do is Wonder Woman and Flash. Wonder Woman should be done just as Thor was, a hybrid of both worlds, watch the animated Wonder Woman film, it's fucking great. Flash just seems too easy too pull off. He's one of the coolest DC characters and will translate well to the big screen. I firmly believe Nolan is setting something big up. It makes no sense to be a producer on Man of A Steel when you just said You were done with Batman.. C'mon, are you fanboys that gullible.

i think this is a good idea on WB's part. this gives them a chance to test out the new Batman before warranting a complete series reboot. if they reboot after JLA, then all ppl who would say "woaaah way too early for a reboot" (spider-man?) would now say "hell yeah, batman was awesome in JLA, i wanna see more of that!"

Warner Bros. Need Patience

I knew Warner Brow would do this. They do not need to rush this film into theaters. If they blow this, it's done. Warner has had plenty of time to get together their Justice League Initiative, but they sat around and let Marvel mop the floor with them. Yes, Nolan needed to finish out his trilogy, but they could have put out a Wonder Woman, Flash and a Green Lantern that actually tied into JL by now. They have no one to blame but themself.

I know it's tempting to rush JL to the screen, but

I know it's tempting to rush JL to the screen, but they really need to slow down and take their time with this. I would have Man of Steel be the kickoff film. Go back and film a post credit scene and throw in a Wayne Enterprise cargo box or science beaker or something. Then do Wonder Woman and Flash and a Green Lantern that doesn't suck as bad. Then I would be ok with them introducing the new Batman in the Justice League film, giving him a new series post JL.

If Warner Bros. blow this, it's going to be close to impossible to come back from. Audiences don't want to see reboot after reboot because they blew it the first time. Yes, it's going to be tempting to rush, but please Warner, take your time with this. The absolute earliest we need to see a JL film is 2017 at the earliest. The payoff will be much better in the end. If you don't believe me, ask Marvel.

If 2015 is the date they're aiming for, than I don't think anyone will have a solo film before Justice League. Man of Steel is the only DC character with a film in 2013, and no one's even sure if that will be a part of Justice League. And I have serious doubts about Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, etc having solo films in 2014 based on the fact that they were never able be done right in the past. Its probably all rumors anyway.

I'm actually okay with this

It's the best option of an awkward situation. Christian Bale was an established actor already before Batman and would have had an excellent career without the Dark Knight, so I'd be okay with them casting another already well-known actor. My vote is Ryan Gosling with some hair dye, but I know he would never go for that as an actor.
