Nolan said this was the end the second he signed on for the 3rd. I thought Bale did the same at that point too.

Can't say I'll miss him. He doesn't have the charisma needed to pull off Bruce Wayne. I wonder who will take over next.

Re: Christian Bale Calls it Quits After Dark Knight Rises

Bale said a long time ago he will only be Batman if Nolan is directing. And Nolan said a long time ago he'd only do 3 - so this is no surprise.

The Batman franchise is beginning to parallel that of Bond.

The way he says it implies that the character survives this film.

Re: Christian Bale Calls it Quits After Dark Knight Rises

bruce wayne yes/ batman no. I always felt that when he wore the batman costume, it felt like if he was paid to wear it. Unlike keaton, where you get that persona that he needs to be batman to feel complete

When the reboot does come, I want a costume that looks closer to Arkham City than what we've seen in Nolan's trilogy

Re: Christian Bale Calls it Quits After Dark Knight Rises

There are so many versions of Batman extant that I sort of can't believe it's discussed as a reboot. Somebody draw a straight line through the Detective #27 Batman with a gun on his belt, the dopey Batman of the late Fifties, the Adam West pop art camp, the "relevant" Neal Adams stuff of the Seventies, The Steve Englehart/Marshall Rogers excellence, Frank Miller's Reagan-era Clint Eastwood stuff, through Micheal Keaton and Clooney's nipples.

I have never once believed Bale as Bruce/Batman, but I also never had the urge to Occupy Gotham because this is just a phase that's not for me. Hopefully the next folks in charge of the cine-Bat smarten up and do a bad day in the life of a filthy dirty Jon Hamm. I want to see The World's Greatest Detective chip a well-manicured nail solving something BAD that no one else can.

Friggin Hollywood needs to start remembering what makes things awesome and what sells branded taco meals is a small overlap, and not the first job of story.

Worst Batman ever. Gravelly stupid voice, terrible vehicles. Good riddance.

Bring back Adam West and a proper Batmobile.

Add me to the list of people who aren't fans of this garbage. Despite how "good" anyone says the third one will be, I refuse to pay any money to see it.

I'd love something like that too. Also, set it in a comic book world, sort of like the keaton ones were (not the same world, but concept). I don't really care for it to be set in 'the real world'. For all the raves TDK got, everytime they showed chicago it pulled me right out of the movie. The only time i've seen downtown chicago is flying through to somewhere else.

Frankly, i'd love to see them make it a series. Longer, more drawn out storylines, etc.

Preach it! I like Bale as an actor. I don't like Bale as Batman/Bruce.

I loved Batman Begins. Seemed to be the first Batman movie actually about Batman instead of the villians.

Or the first one that was actually, you know, a great movie.

Re: Christian Bale Calls it Quits After Dark Knight Rises

I hate bale as batman, pretty much everything about him was off.. And the batmobile was a tank, which was pretty cool, but it was no batmobile. The suits aren that great in my opinion either, but I don't really like the fact of batman wearing rubber armor in any of the movies. I think if they were to do another reboot, that they should go with making some of the Allan Moore amd frank miller stories.. Year one, the killing joke, and the dark knight returnes would be amazing to see if they were done right.
I'm glad Nolan won't be doing anymore bat films though, he truest to make it too realistic and it just doesn't feel like a batman movie.
