Batman: The Frightening

I believe the new film is going to be called The Frightening and directed by Christopher Nolan.

If your keen I believe the script is available at christophernolan.net

It looks like it's going to be even darker than the first, which is a relief becasue the franchise was turning into a joke with the last few films...
And theres no hint of Robin in it, thankfully.

any idea who is going to be in it? I heard Kevin Spacey was going to do the scarecrow at one point..and maybe Christian Bale for Batman...which I think would just kick ass but..who knows

I heard Jeff Goldblum for Scarecrow- a much better fit , I think!

thank kami the movie makers are toning the cheesyness down and go back to basics! it's about time too! i heard christopher llyod was to play scarecrow. but who knows?

Hey, I'm brand new here, but I heard that Christopher Lloyd is up for Scarecrow. An excellent choice

I heard Tom Green was going to play Alfred and Jet Li was Robin.

Tom Green as Alred???????? What the hell is that????? Tom Green is too young to play alfred and he is a complete idiot. Did anyone see Freddy Got Fingered???? That movie was horrible and Tom Green Sucked.

I heard Frank Miller (author of dark night returns) was either directing it or producing. And it is going to be rated R

How the hell can jet li be robin. i can understand nightwing, but robin!? HECK NO

Update: Rosie O'Donnel will be Catwoman and Al Roker will be The Joker.

I hope this Batman is not a joke. The first 3 were OK but progressivly the Batman Franchise has gotten worse. More childish it seems.

I think it started getting childish with the third one Batman Forever. Just looking at Jim Carey's acting as Riddler just ruined everything.

Are you serious that Catwoman will be rosie O Donnel??? Shes too fat to actually do any flips.

Yes, I am serious.... 🙂

Jesus. she would crush Batman just by stepping on him and her voice is really annoying.

i've heard everything hear to. And of coarse Batman has gotten Childish the movies are mad for kids.

denzel washington should be batman or maybe dennis leary or nick nolte, bring some edgy ness to the films nolte could be the drunken bat who stumbles around swearing at himself, hed be a good out of shape alchoholic batman, the bat costime would be like two sizes to small and he could have a beer belly pertruding out, instead of using detective skills he just shoots the bad guys and eddie murphay could be robin, it could be the drunken bat and the ghetto boy wander, you have to admit it would be more entertaining than the last two bat films, i think it would make millions

I don't think batman will be rated R because he is such a universally liked figure. Little kids love batman and it would take a lot of the sales away. I also think Christopher Loyde is a great choice

yeah but if it were nolte as batman and eddie murphay as robin i think it would do really well it would draw all the fans fro the 48 hours movies and the older bat fans just make it one long two hour joke about how bad the previous two films were, do you mean christopher loyd from back to the future? if so thatd be great you could even get micheal j fox to be robin the un controllable shaking sidekick, hes faking it anyway, then you could even go one further and get chris reeves as bruce waynes new butler, he could wheel around in his wheel chair, or just give him a suit and tie a cape onto his electri wheel chair and he could be the third sidekick yeah thats better than murphay and nolte, you have a high strung idiot as the hero, an uncontrollable shaking sidekick who nods his head up and down everytime he speaks and an ex paralyzed superhero who becaomes a sidekick chasing baddies in his wheel chair with bat wings on the side
