Why thank you. lol.

Hm... as long as the new Batman isn't too over the top crazy I'll be happy. It would be nice if they could find someone who is at least half as good as Michael Keaton though. I am a bit biased since I love Tim Burton's Batman movies to death, but it really seems like he is the only live-action Bruce Wayne/Batman who displayed the different nuances of both halves perfectly. He absolutely nailed it. No other live-action actor who portrayed the Dark Knight has put in nearly as much effort as Keaton did. Well, I suppose Bale tried, but aside from the gravely voice, it wasn't much.

I loved Keaton as Batman, (I loved Keaton in almost everything he has done) but I though Bale did a better job, mostly because of his D-bag portrayal of Bruce. The Bruce Wayne he showed the world was one of a spoiled rich brat and it was awesome. I'd like to see that Batman/Bruce move forward because I thought it hit the character on the head.

Yeah, I see where you're coming from. Tim Burton's Batman movies were more gothical and whimsical, whereas Nolan's were much more grounded in reality. Two different themes require two different Batmans, and both Keaton and Bale delivered the goods. And plus, both versions of The Dark Knight have appeared in the comics, so neither portrayal was wrong, they were just different. Okay, I know that wasn't what you were going for, but that's just how I figured it out in my brain Wink

Finally, here is the official press release from WB:

The current hit, “Man of Steel,” has taken in more than $630 million at the worldwide box office to date, and climbing. Along with its star, Henry Cavill, the upcoming film brings back Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane. The new Batman has yet to be cast.

Snyder is co-writing the story with David S. Goyer, who will then pen the screenplay. Production is expected to begin in 2014, with an anticipated release date in Summer 2015.

Silverman stated, “Zack Snyder is an incredibly talented filmmaker, but beyond that, he’s a fan first and he utterly gets this genre. We could not think of anyone better suited to the task of bringing these iconic Super Heroes to the screen in his own way.” Kroll added, “We are thrilled to be back in business with Zack and his team on this next movie. The success of ‘Man of Steel’ is a wonderful testament to the love and support that both fans and new audiences, worldwide, have for these characters. We are very excited to see what Zack has in store for all of us.”

Diane Nelson, President, DC Entertainment, noted, “Superman and Batman together on the big screen is a dream come true for DC fans everywhere. All of us at DC Entertainment could not be more excited for Zack’s continuing vision for the DC Universe.”

Zack Snyder, who made a surprise appearance at Comic-Con today, breaking the news to audiences there, later said, “I’m so excited to begin working again with Henry Cavill in the world we created, and I can’t wait to expand the DC Universe in this next chapter. Let’s face it, it’s beyond mythological to have Superman and our new Batman facing off, since they are the greatest Super Heroes in the world.”

The new film brings back Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder as producers. This time, Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas are serving as executive producers, along with Benjamin Melniker and Michael E. Uslan.

Thomas offered, “Whilst our ‘Dark Knight’ trilogy is complete, we have every confidence that Zack’s fresh interpretation will take the character in a new and exciting direction. His vision for Superman opened the door to a whole new universe and we can’t wait to see what Zack does with these characters.”

The film is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, and Batman characters created by Bob Kane, published by DC Entertainment.

I just noticed that on the logo they released, the bat looks like the one from The Dark Knight Returns book.

I love the Burton movies! Well, kinda. I'm not a huge fan of Batman, but I absolutely ADORE Batman Returns! As for Keaton vs. Bale, I do like Keaton, in fact I like him a LOT, but Bale resonated more with me. If I were given a choice I would choose Bale, but Keaton would cross my mind from time to time.

Thanks, for posting the official press release, Kham!

I guess I'm in the minority. lol. In my mind, the ultimate World's Finest movie would have Keaton as Batman and Christopher Reeve as Superman. Too bad that can't happen for multiple reasons.... Cry

That would be SO epic! Oh well, we'll just have to imagine it ourselves. We could probably come up with some stuff that's better than anyone in Hollywood!
