Yeah, they could do it, but I'd rather see someone else helm that movie.
I would pay to see this...heck, I would probably see it ten times if by an astronomical chance they decided to do it, instead of Zack Snyder.
Yes. Let's skip right to the end of Batman's career after his first year and a half in the cowl.
I like TDKR for what it is, and for its impact (in certain ways), and it certainly has potential, but I don't understand why it's considered the be all end of superhero movie potential.
Keaton? As Miller's Wayne?
While I never found his face/jaw "frail"...
Really?
Hell, I can't even see Bale pulling that off convincly. Imagine him saying "Right now you have a piece of glass in a major artery" in his silly Batman voice.
Maybe when Gerard Butler is 60, he and Zach Snyder can get together and make it happen.
Or Bruce Willis. Though I've always seen him as the Green Lantern in KINGDOM COME.
Keaton is too bald now!
What's the difference?That's just what we need. Another foreign actor playing Batman. Not to mention another foreign actor playing another American superhero.
And really, you should cast an actor who can actually play the Batman from that story, not Keaton, who was never really a very good Batman to begin with.
JK Simmons is completely bald. He portrayed JJ Jameson successfully though.

I don't think Keaton or Burton would be right for the project at this time. Try somebody like Clint Eastwood.

I meant as the director.I don't understand the whole "Clint Eastwood" thing... Hey, I dig the guy... but he isn't Batman. He's a whole entity unto himself. Besides, he's like 80 something years old now! Makes no sense for him to play the part. Miller's Batman was 55-60.
I heared this before, you brought this in another batman movie thread didn't you?Hear me out.
Nolan's trilogy is over in 2012. What if in, let's say 2015, we got Frank Miller's TDKR with Burton directing, starring Keaton, making it a trilogy for Burton and Keaton?
That way, Nolan and Burton both have great trilogies.
Batman (1989)
Batman Returns (1992)
Batman Begins (2005)
The Dark Knight (2008)
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
The Dark Knight Returns (2015, 2016?)
It seems like something that could happen, if all parties would be willing. Michael Keaton will be 64 in 2015, making him a perfect age for the film.
Thoughts?
The only way Eastwood is playing Bruce now is if there's a Batman Beyond film, but even then that probably wouldn't happen. I'm not entirely sure who would be best for Bruce for Dark Knight Returns, maybe Tom Selleck?Sure ya did.

There is no "only way". There is no way. Eastwood is not a conventional Hollywood actor as I've explained already. You don't hire him. He hires you. Besides, he was once approached to play Superman in the 70s but flatly turned that down because superheroes simply did not interest him.
