Default The Dark Knight Rises: July 20, 2012

... it's official! It will be directed by Chris Nolan and the same team who brought us the other two movies.

Now the casting rumors begin!

Personally, I hope it's more like the first with the cool storyline and building of the character backgrounds. One of the best movies of all time for sure.

Hopefully this doesn't fall victim of the third moving sucking like other comic movies.

Iron Man 2 is getting some negative reviews so far. Marvel is trying to do too much with trying to cobble together these movies to lead into the Avengers. At least Batman doesn't have to try to do that.

I agree, all I have read for Iron Man 2, with few exceptions, is that it is just as good, if not better, than the original ... though mostly just reading fan sites.

well Raimi royally screwed up the Spiderman franchise, and i have a feeling Marvel wants all of their characters properly portrayed and ready to go for a big culmination event, like the Civil War

Fantastic Four is also getting a reboot for 2013

I think Marvel wants control of their franchises back. Spider-Man was mainly a Sony thing.

Marvel saw how well Iron Man as a in-house project worked and wants to stop all the silliness like Spider-Man 3, Daredevil, Hulk, Fantastic Four, etc. from ever happening again.

They are also super hyped on being able to tie everything together in the same universe and have crossover movies like they have crossover comics. All the guys who star in the latest Marvel movies have clauses in their contracts which say they have to participate in a crossover where the old ones didn't. Iron-Man, Thor, Captain America, etc. are all going to be in the Avengers movie together.

Civil War is probably not a good idea to make a movie out of. It was bad enough as a comic series. You don't want to make a comic book movie into an overly political movie.

Meh!
Maybe it's just me, but we need something fresh. These overdone comic hero's are getting boring.

What would you like to see?

It's hard to get people into theatres so everybody wants sequels or event movies because people seem to go for those as they already sort of know what they are going to get.
