Isn't this all kinds of awesome if it's true?

 

[Snake Plissken]

I'd be in for a Dark Knight Returns based story, although without Superman. It couldn't do worse than TDKR.

And if Burton is directing, we'll actually get Gotham and not Chicago.

Y'know, it could happen since Keaton said he's doing the Beetlejuice sequel with Burton. The real problem is DC is busy with their cinematic universe.

 

[Snake Plissken]

And DC wants sequels, if this hypthetically got made... it would probably be a one and done.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

It'd be insanely great.. but it's all about Ben now for the next whenever, so hang it up.

 

[RIDDICK]

Burton? No, thanks.

 

[Khev]

Keep in mind that it wouldn't be classic Batman 89/Beetlejuice Burton. It'd be the all CG 3D Alice in Wonderland Burton making Gotham City. I'm not saying that'd be a horrible thing but Burton, like many other directors, has changed over the decades.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Interesting he said that for him, Batman was about Bruce and not Batman. Considering he was a fairly weak Bruce Wayne but great Batman

That being said a Burton Batman now wouldn't be anything like anyone is thinking, even if it was going the route of Millers TDKR (which i don't think Burton would pull off very well anyway)

Keeton wouldn't make a good Miler Batman at all

 

[Snake Plissken]

Gothic Batman & Gotham can never return as previously stated, and Burton would rather cast Depp as Batman anyway >_>

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Batman Beyond with him as Old Bruce

 

[Snake Plissken]

Definitely was thinking about BB. Him as a bad ass mentor would be great, but Terry would be casted poorly.

Best Bruce Wayne to this day.

Adam West was willing too, but neither are going to happen. Perhaps MK should have thought a little harder about being typecast as Batman before turning down the third movie, now he wishes he could get typecast.

That ship sailed a long time ago.

Wha..

I thought he only turned down the 3rd one because Burton wasn't directing..

 

[Khev]

Yeah, Keaton turning down the role had nothing to do with a concern over being typecast.

People are blowing this out of proportion.

It was a hypothetical question thrown at him during an interview. "Would you do Batman again?" All he said was "yeah, sure, if Burton was directing". That's it. He was being factitious. The guy doesn't need or care about Batman really. He's gone on to say that it was just a role for him and that while he's fond of his time in the role, he's since moved on.

There will never be another Keaton Batman film, ever. It'd be inappropriate and pointless. The closest we'll get to that collaboration is the sequel to Beetlejuice which is slowly coming into fruition.

 

[Irvy]

That birdman flick he has coming out looks pretty hilarious.

Yup, Bale also said he would do another Batman film if Nolan directed it, we should make a thread about that too.

I'm seeing that tonight. It's been getting fantastic reviews and there's been oscar buzz about a nomination for Keaton. I didn't think much of it at first until I saw the first trailer. Gonna check it out.
