Batman Film Franchise Post Nolan

[Kibbin]

In fact isn't it likely that we will be getting a campy batman after this. We've swung that way before after a dark and gritty Bat-movie.We also want him to be more acceptable to the idea of team-ups and the like, plus we've started showing the idea off in Brave and the bold. My hope is that it won't go all out campy, just semi-campy. Quasi-campy

It swung that way because the dark and gritty Batman movie didn't make as much money as Warners hoped (BR was very successful, but there was a big drop from the first film and the toys and merchandising in particular didn't sell as well as in '89). This time the last dark and gritty Batman movie made over a billion dollars in worldwide box office. If dark and gritty continues to deliver huge amounts of money they're very unlikely to swing away from it to a campy take (especially since they ended up being burned by Batman & Robin).

Nolan has already said that his Superman is meant to be in a standalone universe

Which is a fucking absurd idea.

Nolan will probably be asked to mentor an up and coming director in developing a new story and cast that fits within his vision of the Batman mythos.

Hire JacksonArcher! Having just completed a short, about a fallen hero returning to his heroic duties. Not to put you on the spot, but how would you do it, if you had to follow in Nolan's footsteps?

Haha. Wow. Well, I appreciate the vote of confidence, I guess? Admiral James Kirk and I (it feels so weird to say that) were actually working on a Batman fanfilm for some time that just never came to fruition, and the mutual approach we wanted was something between Nolan's vision and TAS.

I'm a big fan of The Animated Series, having grown up on it as a kid, so the idea is that we wanted to not steer it too Gothic like Burton, or too campy like Schumacher, or too realistic like Nolan, but find a middle ground (much like he said in his post) that would incorporate some of the naturalism of Nolan's version with the timelessness of The Animated Series.

You know, a Gotham City that actually felt unique and not like Chicago on steroids. Just for starters.

Honestly, though, a lot of how I approached Fallen is how I would approach a Batman movie. I've been meaning to get a Batman movie out of my system for years, and very much like how parts of Inception was Nolan paying homage to his love of James Bond, Fallen is pretty much me paying homage to my love of Batman.

I would hire JacksonArcher if he wasn't always so damn busy.
