4. No Greater DC Continuity
If a Justice League Movie does get made (which Im already skeptical about, but I guess well see what happens) Im not sure Nolans continuity is going to fly. Im not sure Id particularly want it to either. Next to Superman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and The Flash, Nolans Batman would look like a hell of a slouch. Where Nolan leaves us in The Dark Knight Rises, its unclear what Batmans true motivation for abandoning Gotham is. Maybe he was burned out, maybe he was sick of dehumanising himself every time he put on the cowl, maybe he actually died. Its all trivial to me, what matters is that hes gone. The simple answer would be to reboot the Batman franchise so that it connects more seamlessly with a Justice League Movie. If Batmans going to stand next to actual super-powered heroes, he needs to be completely revamped in my opinion; he needs to shed that realistic skin and start acting like a proper comic book character again. But where does that then leave the Nolan franchise in terms of main-canon continuity? Lets just call it Earth 2 and forget about it.
