7. Batman
The Original: Though Batman has gone through countless iterations over the years, the most recent one is Christopher Nolan's 2005 reboot, Batman Begins, and the hugely-acclaimed sequels, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, which followed. These films not only spawned a pop-culture phenomenon, but helped redefine blockbuster filmmaking as more intelligent and stylistically proficient than ever before.
How To Make It Not Suck: Technically, the
character of Batman is getting a reboot in 2015 with Zack Snyder's Batman vs. Superman movie, and he will surely be expanded upon in 2017's Justice League. However, as for Batman getting his own standalone reboot movie, that's likely around 5 or 6 years off, and the important thing is that it needs to somehow find a way to deviate from everything we've seen before; the goofy theatrics of Joel Schumacher and Tim Burton won't really cut it anymore, while the gritty formalism of Nolan's movies has been done to death. It needs to perhaps broach itself
between these two ideas, establishing a distinct identity from everything that has come before while not needlessly doing so and betraying Batman's good name. It'll be a challenge moving forward, but at least Bats has two films ahead of that as a workout.
