Anyone else sick and tired of seemingly every franchise getting a "reboot" every few years?

Did you see Batman Begins? Clearly explains why there wasn't a cave in The Dark Knight

I hope he grows to his full-on potential in the final film, he wanted to quit being Batman for Rachael but she chose Dent instead then they both end up dying anyway. So Bruce has nothing but the suit and Gotham to live for, and Gotham will need Batman sooner or later. So now since he only lives for Gotham, he should become the total B.A. Batman we all know.

Why not have a more kid friendly Batman? Just because it could be more kid-friendly DOESNT mean it has to be like Shumachers films. They would make it fun. Like the Donner Superman movies. Fun for the whole family.
They USED to make movies like that. I kinda wish Disney would buy DC comics now, so Pixar could make some AWESOME DC character movies.....
IM JUST SAYIN!

I thought I was the only one who got this point. One of the best scenes in The Dark Knight is when the Joker gives Batman the choice of Dent or Rachel knowing that Batman will choose Rachel. So he switches their locations. Batman just wasn't ready. He even considers not being Batman one day. This is probably why I still prefer Burton's first Batman even though it's kind of strange in that the movie doesn't really have an origin story. But Batman is ready in that movie and wouldn't even consider not being Batman. The best line in that film is when he tells Vicki Vale "this is how it is." I have a feeling that Nolan's third will still be in the more realistic feel but I hope by the end there is an establishment of the Batman mythology.

I would love to see a reboot of all the DC characters so far (including GL) and take a more Marvelesque approach. Those movies just seem so much more like comic book stories to me than the DC movies. I am a fan of BB and loved TDK, but I would still prefer a gray/blue batman suit and some almost unbelievable villains/schemes. Regarding super man I would enjoy seeing something cool like a giant metallo or darkseid, something besides someone impersonating gene hackman.
My fanboy wetdream is that we see Batman in that comic cloth costume at some point.
He has evolved and risen to such a level where he doesn't need the armour anymore.
Or at least for certain missions, he chooses that kind of costume. Perhaps when he needs to go into Batmode swiftly, he has it underneath.
I think Nolan is headed these directions.
The updated costume in TDK, more movement, less protection. Well whats the next step?
Also the Tumbler is now destroyed, well... nobody EVER called it the Batmobile in those films. And Wayne is out tooling around in a high perfromance sports car to accomplish a certain mission. hmmmm that all points to the next step.
Obviously the new Batcave is something we all expect to see.
The Dark Knight Rises? How the hell could you have a title like that without the batsignal restored and Bats now the bad ass established protector of Gotham?
And dare I even dream that this symbol appears.........

Well said
For a certain mission, it could make sense, It doesn't have to be ever present on his costume. I just would like to see the iconic classic symbol up there on his chest for even a short time. Just to see the comic page come alive if just for a moment.

I'm not sure the classic look of Batman should be explored like the comic. Some of the Bat costumes aren't that intimidating, and that symbol of yellow and black...I don't know if it would intimidate some of the criminals in the Nolan Universe. Just sayin.
Sometimes he intimidates Gotham's "civilized" criminals.
He could go out on a psyops mission for instance to freak them out.
Maybe he would want to make sure they see that bat symbol and know
he IS watching them.

Yeah. Absolutely no need for a re-boot. Just do one-off Batman movies with good stories. They could do it any way and any style and any mood they want, but, oh God, no more origin stories. And no EMO nonsense either. PUKE.
At one time you had older heroes that you could look up to and aspire to become when you grew up. Now they are all tweens, who are all super hot, super impossible to ever look like, be like... as... they are like that at the same age you are and they know everything and can handle everything... so, you are already feeling you don't measure up... and never will.

Whatever Nolan does I just hope he ends this saga with a nice finish. I loved BB and TDK....I hope the next / last one is equally stellar. I think it really comes down to villian choice. I'd still like to see the Ra's & Talia storyline explored further personally. There might be room for another villian intertwined if they went that route.
In any event I do not like the idea of a 'reboot'. Once Nolan is done Batman should take a rest for 5-10 as was suggested. If Nolan can keep it going with GOOD SOLID STORIES then I'm still game as I like his universe and take on the characters.

The 90's animated series was loyal to the comics and added many new elements to the comics ie. Harley Quinn,and a New orign story for Mr.Freeze,
Fans can fight over films and such but
by god if someone didn't like the animated series, they are no Batman fan I'll tell ya that.
They got away with quite a bit for a "kids" show.

Not to mention it started Batman as Batman and The Joker as The Joker, because no one can really capture the essence of Joker and Batman like Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy. I mean, Romero had the laugh. Nicholson had the funny persona. Ledger had the psychotic persona. Hamill combines all three, giving us the perfect Joker. Plus you can't spell Mark Hamill with arkham
