1. The Clown Prince of Crime
After the tragic death of Heath Ledger it was almost obvious that Nolan wouldnt attempt to recast The Joker, but an entirely new Batman franchise potentially means an entirely new take on this iconic Villain. Jack Nicholsons interpretation was great, Heath Ledgers was beyond phenomenal, even Mark Hammills version in the Animated Series and Arkham video games was superb. In fact I dont think Ive seen a screen version of the Clown Prince of Crime yet that hasnt been awesome. This says one thing to me: this character is almost impossible to f*ck up. And were excited by the prospect of a new Joker. Were of course not expecting it to top any of the previous iterations of the character; if the new director has any sense, they wont even try. Batman and the Joker are almost one and the same. Even when Joker isnt involved in the story, its assumed that hes sitting somewhere, obsessively plotting against his arch-nemesis and that sometime soon, hell make his presence felt. If there is to be a Batman reboot (and theres too much money to be made for there not to be), then its really the perfect time to get Joker back into the mix. Theres no pressure to re-cast Nolans version of the character; the new director can go wherever they want with it. And you never know, we might just get ourselves yet another interpretation of The Clown Prince of Crime that we can all be proud of. So there you have our fantasy Batman movie. With the Justice League movie practically already in the works after the Avengers success, it remains to be seen whether or not well actually get a Batman reboot. But the mission is never over, so why should Batman movies be? Anything youd like to see from the next Bats outing? Pray tell.
