Topic: Who Should Direct The Batman Series Post-Nolan? Forum: JoBlo

There's a reason his films are much better than Burton's, he dropped the stupid shit and added realism. Most people don't care how closely it resembles the comic book, they want a good movie - they couldn't be more right! Nolan falls into this camp knowing full well the characters work better in film his way and not the comic book way. If someone thinks comics are silly, they shouldn't adapt comic books. As simple as that. He and Burton both went two different directions but effectively ended up turning out films at about the same quality. Both of them really missed a lot of aspects and nailed a bunch of others. I'd say if you combined Burton's world from the first Batman with Nolan's characterizations and story lines, you'd have about the most perfect Batman movie ever made. Both of them missed great opportunities to make amazing Batman films and instead just made great films. The one thing Nolan has on Burton is that Nolan has clearly read more than simply one graphic novel. I appreciate both of them for taking the material seriously and delivering quality films but they both missed great opportunities to finally bring Batman to life on the big screen completely.
