4. Christopher Nolans Batman Trilogy Just Ended
Warning: SPOILERS The Dark Knight Rises concluded Nolans involvement with Batman this summer and its quite a definitive ending. Bruce Wayne wont be back to take up the role as Batman, and a Justice League movie without Bruce Wayne would just be wrong. This leaves DC with only one option; reboot Batman. Again. People joked that five years was too short a length of time to reboot Spiderman, so imagine if they rebooted Batman in three. This wouldnt be just like rebooting Sam Raimis Spiderman, which was quite light-hearted and cheesy and was then given a bit more of a serious tone with the reboot - rebooting Christopher Nolans Batman, which redefined the comic-book movie genre, is going to be incredibly difficult in ten years, let alone three. He showed that they could be gritty, they could be realistic and, more importantly, that they could be genuinely good. Rebooting that in such a short time would be a sin, even if it was only for a JLA movie. The Batman reboot would be so close to Nolans trilogy that the character would be forever compared to Christian Bales characterisation. This would inevitably happen when Batman is almost certainly rebooted anyway, though itll be desperately difficult to avoid comparison a mere three years later.
