[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9184840, member: 18"] Yeah that's one of the very, very few reboots I actually really liked, because it gave us something that, despite being "Batman again!", actually seemed fresh and had some energy to it, and didn't really resemble the blow-dried, hairsprayed, airbrushed crop of MCU/DCCU movies. It's also way less of an origin story than Batman Begins. This Batman is already up and running, and there's very little shown before that. As such it has more in common with Batman (1990) (as I remember it anyway). I'm in camp "it ain't gonna happen". They've averaging one attempt per decade for the last 30 years, which is a pretty high rate. One was so bad they basically dug a hole and buried it, one was completely mid according to absolutely everyone and had the worst Doctor Doom ever, but hey it got an sequel, and the most recent one is apparently regarded as one of the worst films ever made, and certainly is one of the worst full-budget superhero movies ever made. And the FF only get less and less relevant. And their comics reinventions or refocusing have only worked in comics because of their deep backstory and all the cosmic stuff going on with them, which would be very hard to establish in a movie or two. I think there is a real love for them among a certain subset of Gen X, but I feel like their impact on anyone much younger has been close to zero, and evidence strongly suggests they are very hard to bring to the screen in a way that works. I could be wrong - but I'll be really impressed if Disney can make them anything audiences are excited by. [/QUOTE]
