I can't imagine that this could be possible unless Goyer and Nolan and eventually Snyder in building the story for MOS also put together the workings for a follow up Superman and eventual Justice League, which is not outside the realm of possibility. I've heard both Goyer and Snyder vaguely discuss "possibilities", and Nolan did say way back after he finished shooting DKR that the Batman from the trilogy was stand alone and would not fit into a Justice League model but he had some ideas of how Batman could be rebooted to exist in the Justice League universe. Even still, if the workings are there I would think they would have to have a script already in place to get this done before end of next year.

Here's to hoping there is some Grand Scheme that was simply waiting to be unleashed on the heals of a successful Superman reboot.

@undeadslayer4 When was the last time you read the comics surrounding Captain America? Sounds like you've missed a lot. They brought Bucky back killed off Steve made Bucky Captain America and then brought Steve back as Steve Rogers with no mask and wearing the blue and white suit that also happens to be the same suit they are using for this film. Since then Marvel has somewhat rebooted with their Marvel Now comics and Steve Rogers is back in the red white and blue.
Here's a link to a preview to Steve Rogers: Super Soldier #1

In the Civil War storyline from the comics, Steve Rogers (Captain America) is supposedly killed and James Barnes takes over. As it turns out Rogers isn't dead and when he returns he doesn't take over as Captain America leaving that to Barnes, but chooses to remain unmasked as simply Steve Rogers and the suit he wears is the same one they are apparently using for this film with the addition of the helmet style from the first movie. Personally, I lke this helmet style, but I'm not a big fan of this suit. I thought the first film was by far the best look. At times in the Avengers, Chris Evans looked like a complete dork in that helmet.

With Mark Steven Johnson directing, it will be terrible.

A lot of excitement about this project but correct me if I'm wrong
didn't James Gunn also write the screenplay and isn't this the same James Gunn that wrote Scooby-Doo and Scooby Doo: Monsters Unleashed. I'm tempering my excitement on that little tidbit of knowledge.

Director Robert Luketic's resume of films doesn't really inspire confidence.

This story smells a little rumor-ish seeing as how Broccoli has been adamant about only hiring British directors for her Bond franchise. Refn is from Denmark, Ang Lee is from Taiwan and Shane Black is from the US, so their names being mentioned as possibilities in this article brings some susp*cion to whether there is any validity to it.

I always intentionally lower my expectations for upcoming films. I've found I enjoy movies much better that way, so almost immediately I regretted watching this trailer because d@mn my expectations just went through the roof. Looks like I'll be renting Sucker Punch this weekend in order to help me quickly get those expectations back down.

Ugh Dane Cook.

I am in complete agreement with the previous posts. Forget the lawsuit, I cannot wrap my head around the thought process here that would lead Warner Bros. to develop a remake of a project that failed miserably the first time and was just plain awful with the same production company and bring back the original director. Not to mention, bring in a writer whose last two scripts (Wrath of the Titans, Red Riding Hood) although they did do well financially worldwide are well agreed upon as being complete crap. The only thing worse would be re-casting Marlon Wayans.

This has a decent cast so I'm holding out hope.

I haven't really seen enough to be optimistic or pessimistic.

I saw Sutherland's series Touch got canned, so he should be free and clear to get started on this.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions here. This doesn't appear to be an official announcement. The tag line on the main page says that "insiders claim" which means as of right now this is nothing but rumor.

I was a little surprised by the concept art b/c most of the articles I had read from individuals that 'said" they had read the script said that the Batmobile was a suped up Lincoln Town Car and the Bat suit was "makeshift" from varying different types of sport pads and a hockey mask.

I always thought that Nolan's vigilante Batmen that Batman faces off with at the beginning of Dark Knight was a jab at Aronofsky's film especially when one of the imposters says, "What makes you any different" and Batman replies "I'm not wearing hockey pads."

I wonder how much of that story was Aronofsky and how much was actually Frank Miller. Miller greatly changed the Batman's personal character in All Star Batman and Robin turning him into an over-the-top cruel, domineering and abusive individual, especially towards Robin.

Dragged to GI Joe last night, and honestly I somewhat liked it. Could be due to the fact my expectations were squarely in the basement, but it definitely was better than the first one. Could have definitely been better but not bad.

With MGM fresh off of missing bankruptcy by the skin of their teeth, I highly doubt they will wait 3 years to follow up Skyfall especially since it grossed over a BILLION worldwide. From a strictly financial standpoint, they would be stupid not to get another in the theaters within two years.
If the delay is true, I imagine it has to do with Sam Mendes not returning and them not wanting to make the same mistake they made after Casino fast tracking another film (Quantum of Solace) that was far inferior.

Bioshock can't get made but Grown Ups 2 can. We'd love to blame the studio but the blame falls solely on the idiots that buy the tickets.

After reading the article, this really isn't new news Nolan has said all along that he was going to stay involved with DC\Warner and has been quoted as saying that he would be involved in possibly rebooting Batman to fit more in with the Justice League. Based on the article, Bale's involvement is strictly speculative on the authors part based solely on his relationship to Nolan and Batman, and some comments he made that are contextually not related to this story. There is most definitely reason to believe there is substance to Nolan's involvement but absolutely no reason to think at this time that this will involve Bale or even Nolan's version of Batman from the trilogy.
