Get Bruce Timm and Paul Dini and do a big damn movie. They've been doing great DC animated stuff for 20 years, let them carry the torch.

Live action BTAS?

Impossible.

No, not live action. Big budget computer animated. A Pixar level film of the JLA. That would kick all kinds of ass.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Ooh, that would be pretty good. Kevin Conroy must do the voice of Batman.

I like that the movies focus on just Batman. I don't really feel a big need to have a bunch of other superheroes running around in the movies. I feel like the movies would need to be different if they are going to be a run up to a Justice League movie.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

If I could be a Studio Executive for a day I'd greenlight "Kingdom Come" produced by Dini and Timm. Animation would be CG and would replicate the character design and art style of Alex Ross. Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly would voice Bats and Supes. Runtime would be at least 2:30 to better capture the full scope of the story.

A Kingdom Come movie animated like that DCU Online trailer would ROCK.

Though I'd much rather see Alan Moore's Twilight of the Superheroes on the screen. . .

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

While you're catching up on your classics you might add Marvelman by Alan Moore (published in the US as "Miracleman" for legal reasons)

I just read Kingdom Come for the first time last year, and yes it would definitely rock as long as they gave it a long enough run time.
~~The Absolute Kingdom Come edition is worth picking up if you want an excellent book.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Two-Face is one of my favorite villains; I was disappointed with how little he was used. I was hoping he would come back for the movie too.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

If Two-Face had been depicted as more of a split persona like in BTAS, I'd be more let down that his story was cut short in TDK, but Nolan's Two-Face is a one film character for the most part. There was no personality conflict, it was always the same Dent, just pushed over the edge by Rachel's loss and feeling that the incident was a sign that the only thing you could count on was chance so he turned to leaving all of his choices up to that. Something could be made of his crimes and the impact on Gotham if he'd lived and Batman didn't take the fall, but I don't know if there's enough to add a lot of substance to a second film with him in it. TDK successfully covered his story, if it's to follow the path Nolan went. While much different than Batman, I think it supports the Batman story to have Two-Face be such a mirror of Bruce's story, a good guy suffering a loss and having to makc a choice about how to deal with it, and Bruce and Two-Face going opposite directions.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Everything with Two-Face was so fresh after the trauma that they easily could have set up a split personality issue for this movie. I think it really comes down to the classic difference between storytelling in a comic and storytelling in a movie. What makes for a good movie storyline isn't always going to be in alignment with the comic character.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Well I think it was more of Nolan wanting to have Two-Face's story as close as possible to Bruce's. The TDK story is about establishing the type of hero Batman is in Nolanverse, and what it takes to handle the villainy of Gotham. Dent was there to show what the other path would lead to, both for the audience and Bruce within the story. To clean up Gotham, you have to be a different kind of hero than Dent tried. If they were too true to the split persona and all, that parallel would be lost on people. It's a bit like Anakin and Luke Skywalker facing similar choices and making different decisions in Star Wars.
