so now they want to do ANOTHER Batman movie...who should be cast?

i actually don't care. Adam West was superb...Michael Keaton was shockingly great...everyone else has been demure or odd and i just think it is all kinds of stupid to put an actor in an inappropriate role because he is the hot ticket right now. Val Kilmer was a great actor who almost always was put in a stupid role. As Batman, he was actually dull. some of them can't even act.

why don't they start with a younger version...without boring us with why he is Batman...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzand then they can continue using him for awhile.

I think Bale was a realistic Batman.

But, like Superman, the DC peeps need to sort things out. How is cancelling their money-making star's (GG's) next film going to HELP the bottom line?

@SomeMichGuy Suck? Meaning what? They cannot turn a profit by appealing to the Masses? Seems to me they're doing quite well with their investor's money.

@Iwillwait The films...not so much. Flash sucked even more than they thought it would, moneywise.

I agree with you. Michael Keaton was the best.

@DIABLISS It's also a show that was so succesfull, that it strangled the Batman comic book sales. Mainly because people that were attracted to the Batman character... this cold dark traumatized avenger, were now served a bizar farse of a character that the bigger public liked because of it's comic relieve. Which pushed away the original fans, for a group of people that went away after the fad ended. Ending Batmans' silver age, with dropping sales because DC lost a big segment of the original fanbase and then lost those that jumped on the bandwagon that were just there because of the shows popularity. Batman only got better when creators started bringing Batman back to its roots, and made him even darker. Almost all the best stories in Batmans' comic book carreer, the same stories that the movie business is banking on btw, were written when DC ditched the comical and even more childish version of Batman [i](because, well... Batman is still aimed at young adults, it will always have a simplistic childish undertone)[/i].

... This has nothing to do with how good of an actor someone is though. Actors follow the director and the script. Batman from the 60s might be amusing, but I totally understand that people that read Batman rather not have it mingle with what fans actually like about Batman. And it's also why a lot of Batman fans start their Batman timeline either at the beginning of the "Bronze Age" OR after "Crisis on infinite Earths" when the (arguably) better story lines were created.

Batman is Hollywood's whore...everyone has done him

@InOtterWords It's just an easy character 😅
I believe it's Frank Miller that said that you can put Batman in pretty much any genre... and it would just work. Put him in a horror, a western, a science fiction, a thriller, a historical drama, ... and sadly "a comedy". And you'll have a Batman product.

... It's also not only Hollywood, DC pimps the Bat out a lot.
