Important features a potential Batman reboot MUST Have

[Kensei]

A Gotham City that looks like Gotham and not any major city USA.

A suit that isn't bulky rubber. You know one that allows Batman to move. And hell change up the colors. I'd love to see a grey suit with the yellow symbol.

A Robin done right.

This is all I could think of right now.

I disagree about the coloring of the batsuit. I think the only reason that gray and blue ever even entered in was because of the limits of what could be done with black ink in the early days. Batman as a creature of the night was intended to be all black, but coloring him that way would have just made him a silhouette all the time. Just look at how characters with black hair (notably Superman) used to be and are even still sometimes shown with blue in their hair. That tells me that making so much of Batman's costume blue (and gray) is meant to imply that it's really black, as it should be in live action. I'm flexible on the yellow bat symbol though.

Totally agree however on Robin being done right. And the way to do that is the "Dark Victory" approach. He needs to start out at around ten years old. Bruce witnessing Dick seeing his parents murdered in front of him, just the way Bruce did, and seeing himself there and immediately bonding with the kid emotionally, could be an amazing main focus for a movie.

Also, Barbara into Batgirl into Oracle- it's just way too good not to make it to the big screen if done right. Maybe over the course of another trilogy. Teenage Barbara becomes Batgirl, Batman accepts her and trains her but whenever she is in action there is always such a sense of FUN, almost comic relief from an otherwise dark storyline. And then suddenly- BANG- that ever present darkness overtakes her, and the fun is over. Audiences would shudder and tears would be shed.

I'm not sure if these have been mentioned before but...

More agility in the combat.

Perhaps stylistically take inspiration from Arkham games.

[Bo-Man]

1.) No origin story... only flashbacks like Batman 89.
2.) A Batman who has already been established maybe he's been Batman for two or three years.
3.) Villains I would like to see.. personally I would start off the franchise with two well known Bat- Villains who have not been used in a while The Riddler and The Penguin. Riddler a seven or saw type of villain using his riddles of course, and Penguin as a Mayor like Batman:Earth One or Owner of the Iceberg Lounge. Sequels I would like to see Killer Croc, Hugo Strange, Man-Bat, Clayface, Black Mask, Hush, Mr. Freeze, The Mad Hatter.

[Darknessfall]

Here is my idea, hope you like it i will come with mor depth later.
1- Riddler-Strange (The Batman)
2- Black Mask- Clayface ( Shadows of the Bat)
3- Two Face- Catwoman (Long Halloween)
4- Penguin-Croc-Freeze (Batman Dark Victory) Robin appears
5- Scarecrow- Ivy (Batman: Fear Itself)Batgirl Appears
Nightwing-Batgirl Movie with introduction to Jason in a post credit scene
6- Joker (Last Laugh) Jason Death
7- Bane- Azrael - (Knightfall) Tim Appears
8- Ra´s- Talia (Head of the Demon)
9- Red Hood-Hush- (The Hush of the Red Hood)
10- Arkham Asylum (Based on the game)
Sorry deves for creating another thread

Joker and Catwoman are must haves in any reboot.

[Mr. Holmes]

Instead of doing a cartoony approach and bringing in Clayface and Mr. Freeze, I'd make the next movie more outlandish than Nolan's, but still keep it a little grounded. I'd go for a pulpy tone akin to Daredevil or Watchmen (but with better writing). Emphasize Sherlock Holmes detective work and stylish gadgets/tech.

[SuicideCommando]

I'd like to see them ignore certain aspect of the Nolan films, such as him killing of Two-Face. Also I agree with making Gotham look more gothic and whatnot and less like Chicago or NYC.

While I like the Batcave and all the computers and stuff in there, I'd probably tone down the tech in his personal equipment. Make Bats a little more DIY like he was in Miller's Year One. IDK, in every Batman movie ever he just seems way too over reliant on it and it just takes away from what the guy can actually do, which is why I think I liked the latest Bond film so much.

Bond: "A gun and a radio. Not exactly Christmas, is it?"
Q: "I suppose you were expecting an exploding pen? I'm sorry, but we really don't go for that sort of thing anymore."

Brilliant.

I'd probably up the physicality (having someone like Corey Yuen who's done the fight choreography for some Jet Li movies would definitely be a step in the right direction) as well the his strategic mind some. In most every other Bat-film he seems to be just reacting to stuff. I'd like him to be proactive for a change.

No more Ra's. I'm done.

I'd also like to see whoever does the next movie to employ more old school film techniques. Maybe from the German silent era like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari or Nosferatu. Maybe some shadows and lighting the way they did in those old film noirs.

That's all I've got for now. I'm sure they'll be more later.

Guh, that sounds terrible. Far better to make Batgirl an equal partner of Batman from the start, like the relationship between the two at the end of Thrillkiller, and continue that ongoing.

I can go for this. I like Babs as both Batgirl and Oracle and having her as both in a franchise sounds like the best of both world's, personally.

[TheGoshDarnBatman]

I don't know why but I've always like what they did in The Batman cartoon where Batgirl came before Robin. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

sounds awesome, i would love to see that trilogy on big screen..

[Albert Rothstein]

I'd like to see Dick Grayson show up for the climatic battle of maybe the fourth movie of a reboot series dressed for the first time in classic Robin attire, only to have Batman say something to the effect of "What the hell are you wearing?"

Roll credits, shows up as Nightwing in Batman 5.
