[QUOTE="Locked1089"]So after TDKR is the plan to do another reboot? That's what I seem to be reading on the net but that seems silly, it's been 7 years since Batman Begins came out. Although with only 11 years seperating Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and the new series I shouldn't be surprised. I seem to remember reading that Nolan once said that if anyone wants to set any future Batman movies in the universe he's created they have to be set after TDKR, but I don't know if that was real or just something someone came up with.[/QUOTE]

They've gone on record as saying that they'll happily reboot the series whenever they need to. WB has recognised that the comics are very much a series which can easily get rebooted at any time, so why not treat the films the same? Especially if they intend to get a Justice League film out in the next few years, which I'm sure they will definitely do to probably to go up against The Avengers 2.

Also, I have take my hat off to myself for not paying any attention to anything Prometheus related. Each time a trailers been shown I've left the cinema like a right tool just to avoid it. It's the first time I've tried to go into a film clean in years - since Gladiator in fact - and damn it's difficult. I think leading up to it I'm just going to go into meltdown.

If George Miller's Justice League film was any indication, they don't care about the lead up to the film, more about the film itself. I think they'd be happy to have completely different people playing the hero's in a Justice League film instead of dealing with continuity. Christian Bale's Batman fighting with Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern? No way. I also think they'd just be happy to have that going as a film series and not have any interconnection with other DC films. Goes against the whole comic book idea, but I think they'd only be looking at the bottom line.

[QUOTE="jamesh-42"]From what I've seen, Warner Bros. seems to value their DC properties pretty highly. Looking at all the movies they've cancelled, it seems that they'd usually prefer to make no movie than one that would damage the brand. That could easily explain why they'd prefer not to do a Justice League film if it posed a risk to the current Batman series. Even if they said the Justice League film was not connected, people won't necessarily treat them as separate. And putting out a film with a Green Lantern-style Batman (to pick an extreme) could easily damage the Nolan films.[/QUOTE]

I dunno about WB valuing their properties. They're more concerned about costs more than anything else. I also don't think they'll venture into a Justice League film yet since Green Lantern failed and they still can't get a Wonder Woman film off the ground. They just don't have the right creative minds behind the films to be able to deliver everything that they should be able to deliver. They've gone on record stating they'd happily reboot the Batman series almost straight away after Nolan's films have finished - they are their own their thing anyhow. I'm sure the massive success of The Avengers (it's already done $250 mil internationally) might kick start the DC series at WB. Although, WB shouldn't even care since they're the most successful film studio at the moment.

[QUOTE="Locked1089"]That Tyler Stout Avengers poster is boss. Considering pulling an all-nighter in the hopes of snagging one, but I'd have to be quick in the ordering anyway for it to not be in vain, decisions decisions.[/QUOTE]

I'm going for it. Tips! Log in... have your CC details copied and ready to paste as soon as you have the item in your cart. Don't wait for the tweet or the facebook comment - just F5 the Mondo website on the Posters page constantly. Don't stress if you don't get one, just join up to the Tyler Stout newsletter and they'll do a lottery which is pretty easy to get a poster living in Australia since they like to share them around the world quite a bit.

I think this article pretty much sums up my feeling on The Avengers. http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/puny-god-what-worked-what-didnt-in-the-avengers-20120507?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook#

It's good, but it's no way the best comic book film. That beginning is simply awful in my opinion and it takes a good hour to get going, but when it does, man is it good. That finale is one of the best action sequences around by far, it's just a pity it's bundled with such average hum drum nonsense at times.
