[QUOTE="Blazerdt47"]The studio allegedly wants the film to be set in the same universe as Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, which naturally means a return of Bale's Batman.Blazerdt47
Ugh. That would completely clash with Nolan's established universe though. A bunch of super-powered humans/aliens simply don't fit into the world Nolan established. Besides that, any continuation of Nolan's Batman should have Blake, not Bruce Wayne, as Batman. If they're going to shoehorn it into Nolan's canon then they could at least preserve the continuity. One of the things Nolan's trilogy repeatedly emphasized was that Batman is more than a man, he's a symbol. The man actually under the mask doesn't matter. Bruce Wayne isn't necessary for Batman to continue.
The amount of pissed off fans would be staggering if Blake ended up as Batman in The Justice League instead of Bruce Wayne.
Bruce Wayne IS Batman. The 3 Nolan movies clearly portrayed Bale's journey as Batman as he progressed through the movies, so throwing him to the side like that for TJL would just be ridiculous.
What I find more ridiculous is how to define Superman's powers in the world of Nolan's Batmans. How would Superman interfere with the world's plots? Would Bane even attempt such villainy if he knew if there were an invincible man about? Batman can fit, but I have a hard time seeing it in Nolan's universe. The city needs to be Gotham, not Pittsburgh or Chicago.
