| i love both the nolanesque-"grounded in realism" and semi-fantastical burtonesque versions of batman... i mean, that deal in bb with the high-pitch device drawing in all those bats, and then with the sonar in tdk, are bit on the things that make you go hmmm domain, but at the same time, you could be like, meh okay, maybe... perhaps nolan's take is that the world he's creating could be OUR world, therefore raising the stakes in the audiences' view of what's happening to the citizens and what the villains threaten... we're pulled into it in that aspect... at the same time, you're drawing yourself away from the history and magic of what makes batman the batman... it's just a different take on the universe, and i love nolan's interpretation... after nolan finishes (maybe he IS finished? i guarantee if nolan and co. cannot find a good story, they will not be back... we'll just have to wait and see), i do want to see it go purely into what the comics make the gotham universe out to be... and recasting and whatnot wouldn't be frowned upon as it's like nolan has these set of films for his take, and then they can decide to move on into a different series... nobody has to just step right in right where it was left off |
