I was think "The Dark Knight Returns" or "Wild Knights", or even "Knight of the Joker." Just a few titles that I had spinning in my mind. You are right however, Claudio, better than Batman Continues. 
Just have to wait and see what happens with Heath. I have hopes with Bale and Singer still on this project, but we'll see.

You can't have the Dark Knight returning unless he's already been here - we've only had Batman Beginning at this point with no Dark Knight references to go with...Nightfall said:
I'm 100% confident in any choices that Nolan makes at this point.
What does Singer have to do with it? Are they filming "World's Finest" at the same time? (That would be cool, but I don't think DC has made that leap yet, nor has Marvel... quite.)

The thing that makes me not worry about Ledger as Joker is that none of the people involved in this movie are slackers. Ledger simply can't phone in his performance, with Christopher Nolan directing and Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Mprgan Freeman and Michael Caine on the set. You HAVE to bring your A-game to the table.

Klaus,
Agreed. They will most certainly not allow Ledger to phone it in by any standards. Bale and Nolan especially.
Free,
Well he's "returning" to his roots and returning to Gothman for retribution. And no I got Singer confused with Nolan since they both did comic book adaptations. I'm not worried either with Nolan helming it. But I do have reservations about Ledger. We'll see. I still say "Wild Knights" or "Knight of the Joker" are some good titles to have used instead.

I think I'll have to disagree Nightfall - much of "Begins" was based on material from the Year One storyline, so Batman is still learning the ropes, so to speak. He's not yet the Dark Knight...Nightfall said:
And when I hear "Wild Knights," I start imagining Denise Richards running around naked...

Well I couldn't find one that didn't make me laugh either trying to use playing card references or just the word Joker. Well except Knight of the Joker.
This might be year one but I think word might be spreading about the "influence" Batman has on the mean streets of Gotham.

There *has* been talks (musings, if you will) of putting Batman and Superman together in a movie later down the line. Brandon Routh said there'd be no point in having them fight, and they would never oppose each other unless one of them was being controlled by an outside force.
I have to say, the prospect of a movie directed by Nolan, produced by Singer, with Bale and Routh as the World's Finest would sit very well with me.

Agreed Klaus. It would make for an interesting fight. But I don't necessarily think there needs to be outside "forces" controlling one of them. Maybe just the fact Batman is unorthodox enough to convince Supes he might need to take down the vilgante. Then we'll see who's really....the World's Finest!
