If that's the same Danny Boyle that did the Olympic Ceremony you can expect another Shumacher.

PTA is amazing, one of my favorite directors of all time, but he would never, nor should he, ever direct a Batman flick. He should've done Watchmen, if you ask me.

You have any reasons why you would choose these directors?

David Fincher and Darren Aronofsky are my two choices.

I feel like Wally Pfister would be too similar to Nolan. I want an entirely new direction and feel with the Batman reboot.

I doubt Whedon would ever do it...

G Del Torro for the win!! He'd be my first choice cus dude has class and style.. if not than the Cohen Bros, Tarantino, peter jacson, or fincher

I would've considered Bryan Singer, but we've already seen what a trainwreck Superman Returns was.

Atleast whedon would give you a batman thats closer to the source material.

Whoever gets the gig. It would be tough because Nolan did big things with Batman.

NOw that I think of it, Del Toro could do amazing things with Batman!

Duncan Jones, Darren Aronofsky and Zack Snyder are all great choices. Joss Whedon would make an amazing Batman film, but I doubt he'll do it any time soon.

Joss Whedon woud be a perfest choice to direct batman in my opinion, but as you all now he is in contract with marvel to direct avengers 2 and 3. So the new batman woudnt come until 2020 if he directs it , i think so... yea !

Ben Affleck
Darren Aronofsky
David Fincher
Duncan Jones
Paul Thomas Anderson

Would all be really good choices. I think the better question should be who is going to replace Bale as Bruce Wayne?
CaptainDC
CaptainDC - 7/31/2012, 11:16 AM
All great choices, all realistic for sure. I like Thomas Jones and Paul Thomas Anderson a lot

Whedon? pff,please,the guy just makes silly movies for retarded kids and his vision is not cinematic enough...whoa,that was so snobish,I feel smart now,now I understand why so many Nolanites talk like that :P

Paul Thomas Anderson for me, needs to stay dark and for the love of god not go back to the child aimed campy crap that Schumacher cursed the world with.

John Woo. Yeah, I said it! The man can do some gritty stuff. Plus he could have an excuse to have someone duel wield weapons with Two Face.

Joss Whedon should never direct anything. Much less a Batman movie.
