When Nolan's movies have concluded would you want to see whoever takes over the reins of directing would you want them to continue where Nolan left or, start fresh with a new idea. But keeping NOLAN'S realism in Batman's world....
Just a thought----yours?

i think 3 movies would be enough in this new style, so i don't think there necessarily has to even be anymore Batman movies. because there's always the danger of taking something too far and milking it too much, making it just a money-making exercise than an artistic pursuit.
i love the realistic approach Nolan has taken and really hope he sees the trilogy through to the end, i don't want someone else coming in for the 3rd movie. for me, Nolans movies are the definitive Batman collection.
if they can keep coming up with stuff that wows the fans and general public, it might be a good idea to keep going as it is, but we don't want people to start saying "oh no, another Batman movie!"

But keeping NOLAN'S realism in Batman's world.... Just a thought----yours? A little of each. I'd like to see Nolan's realism applied to a real-time older Batman/Bruce Wayne. As I've stated here 100 times, i don't like the whole early Batman/Dark Knight/Prequel thing at all!

Well, I like Nolan and Bale's version of Batman and hope they can stay on even after the trilogy. These guys made the definitive live action Batman. No one else can do it.

If done correctly it would be great to see The Batman Franchise keep rolling along, just like The James Bond Franchise. With the right directors and stories in place Batman films would never get boring or have the fans/audience rolling there eyes at the thought of another Batman film.
Batman has the best Rogues Gallery in all of the comic books, and some of these villians haven't even been touched on. So I would like to see the films keep going and sort of leave off where Nolan finishes, because another reboot would mean the same rehashed villians again in movie form and I know I would love to see some different Bat villians on the big screen.
You could take the films in a sci fi/horror direction and use villians like Man Bat and Killer Croc.
There is so much potential with this franchise if done right

I think it would be is cool if the next set of films focused on the origin of Robin.
1. Introduce Robin 2. More on Robin (Evolution) 3. Batman and Robin (Duo is born?)
I think that would be intereting. Still keeping Batman the main player but since Robin has not been down properly maybe that would be the next thing to do.
Also villains like:
Fire Fly Rupert Thorne Tony Zucco (Of Course) The Mad Hatter Killer Croc Harley Quinn Man-Bat Bane
And no matter what is done to Batman a villain that will always show up is Joker and I'd like to see what a new director would do w/ him after what Heath has done...

i think they should just stop after TDK. no more Batman movies at all. unless they can get a writer who actually knows Batman and the related characters, a director who will actually stay true to that, and an actor who can actually portray both Batman and Bruce Wayne correctly. it would also help if they could find an actor who at least looks somewhat like Batman. or at least make the actor who is playing Batman hit the gym and bulk up. Batman is a big guy, and no actor that they've gotten to play him is at all muscular. so my feeling is that if they cant do the movie right, then they shouldnt do it at all. the only reason these movies get made is because it's easy money. it's why the Batman movies will never end. people will always go see the movies. i have a problem with them, as they take away from the comics and create way too many misperceptions about the characters.

i think each trilogy can be a different artistic taste on batman. i would love to see one definitive, classic batman movie set in the 1940's, and have it be filmed like a noir. possibly in black and white. that would be amazing. also, how many story arcs are there that could be directly carried over into film as a trilogy? i would love to see a direct interpretation of Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Hush, and i think Dark Knight Returns would be excellent if they stayed completely true to the comic, had both robert rodriguez and frank miller to direct, and had Bruce Willis to play the aging Bruce Wayne/Batman. also i think they could do the whole Knightfall thing and No Man's Land. there are always going to be Batman movies and the only way to keep it fresh is to have new directors with new and different artistic styles who still understand and love the character. i think the future is in good hands, as superhero movies are becoming just 'movies', and they are as respected as serious dramas.

I always liked the idea of no sequels. I think each move should be a different story arc. If some of the stories are a bit long (although I’d be willing to sit through 3 hours of the Long Halloween and another 3 for Dark Victory) turn them into sequels but don’t make it where every single film has to follow the last. It doesn’t have to be elseworlds type stuff. We have new creative teams on the comics all the time. Most of which have little to no idea what came before them and this has worked for 70 years. Why not in the movies? What does it matter if the non comic reader doesn’t understand why the next story is so much different from the previous ones? Half of the population couldn’t figure out how Begins fit into the other four. Like someone said people will still go and see them if they are good… it’s Batman.

I'm a bit of a continuity buff, so I would like it in the same series as long as things don't get out of hand. Think about. This what the comics do. Unfortunately, as times change there are so many reboots that they have to do and the question of what is and isn't in continuity because difficult to follow. I just really want to see some new villains that are under-utilized.

Well, based on reality and economics, they will not stop. Ever.
In my personal opinion...I am fine with another re-boot. I'd love to see more takes on the Dark Knight..I always have these three movies and nothing will take that away, any more than Batman Forever takes away from the Dark Knight..its just a different take...different series.

Not sure, if they would be able to get the right stories for them...About a later re-boot...I can't imagine a director that could pull it off, but a writer...Good ol' Alan Burnet and Paul Dini! They are "Batman writers" for me. Burton is the right guy for Batman, but he probably will never get back to him.

I agree with batfan there are plenty of great writers, but finding the right director to bring them to life, Miller has lucked out w/ Sin City and 300. I'd like to see solid stories portrayed whether that is an existing comic book storyline or something entirely new that showcases Batman in a new light, ie. Batman the Detective tracking a serial killer through Gotham. I wouldn't mind a reboot, but getting Hollywood to give up its comfortable pasture would be the trick, they don't want to lose any sheep.

Batman is a big guy, and no actor that they've gotten to play him is at all muscular. I think Christian Bale pretty much nailed the look of both Bruce Wayne and Batman in Batman Begins, and he had that muscular look to him. Now he looks half that size for The Dark Knight, and that seems wrong. What actor out there can you see pulling off Bruce Wayne/Batman? An actor that I would love see play the role would be David Boreanaz. He's around 6'2
