Next Batman, Who should Direct?

[ChromeAlchemist]

Right, so I made an article/thread about Chris Nolan supposedly not being a dead cert for the Next Batman movie (which is right here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.120759#2383861 ) and while I semi asked the question of who should direct, it wasn't really talked about too much, so I thought I would stick it in a specialised thread.

So people, who should continue on as director for the next Batman movie and why? Fire away!

My pick is Alfonso Cuarón, because I loved Children of Men, and I think his dystopian setting proved he can do chaos. And chaos is what Gotham was left in at the end of The Dark Knight, so I would like to see what he can do with the mythos.

Michael Bay.

No one! No more Batman's should be made! The last one was only ok! That's it, I can't stand the people who herald this as the greatest one ever, I can't bear what will be said about the next one.

Uwe Boll.

With the odds universally stacked against him so much the movie oughta be a masterpiece.

Pixar should help, everything they do is pure gold.

I'm glad that a new director is being used, stops the franchise becoming stale by the stringent rules one man/woman has governing said franchise, although it could go the way of Val Kilmer Batman, but nothing could be that awful but if it is I'll eat my hair.

2 and a half hours of explosions along with Shia LeBeouf as Batman? Fucking. Hell. Yes.

Ahh yes... Search your feelings you know it to be true!



I liked your idea though. I dont know if it would be everyone's cup of tea though to have Cuaron work on batman.

Quentin Tarantino, it'd be a 2 hour mind fuck.

 

[SecretTacoNinja]

Tim Burton.

Am I the only one who doesn't want Christian Bale as Batman again? That growly voice was so stupid...

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Uwe Boll.

Hmm, this would seem like suicide >.> for the movies anyway, but I wouldn't be suprised if one of his non-game based movies turned out to be great.

And I agree with the Pixar thing.

David Lynch. Bring the joker back and let's see how @#$% up he gets.

Terry Gilliam. But Lynch would be pretty cool.

 

[timmytom1]

Tim Burton.

Again??? i`d rather he left his reputation with the batman films untarnished as his were rather good (unless he was involved in the one with Mr Freeze in which case i hate him,although arnie was awesome in that film)
