Maybe I'm the only one, but the thing I loved about Nolan's universe was that it really WASN'T a superhero movie so much as it was a crime drama.

Bingo.

And as for rebooting Batman, it wouldn't require the full get-to-know-you bullshite we have to endure. Everyone knows Batman's backstory and it could be addressed like ti was in The Incredible Hulk with a montage of what happened in the opening credits.

But do you want to do that with arguably the most popular comic book movie character? The issue is, either Supes or Batman or both are going to carry this film. And if Batman carries the movie, or is part of that, you will NEED to flesh out the new take on Batman.

I love Batman...so I'd be down for yet ANOTHER origin movie. I'm not sure if everyone would...and I'm not sure it would be necessary.

Honestly...my biggest fear is that a live action Batman simply can not stand up in the DC universe when you team him up with real superheroes and super powered villains. You can get away with his coping in the comics and cartoons by basically making him something far more than a man but not quite super-powered type of guy...but can that work in live action without looking or feeling silly? Don't know. I hope.

I just worry he'd come off as useless as Hawkeye standing next to Hulk. And if you only use his for his mental skills, then you really lose an exceptional character.
