Burton Boots Nolan from Batman 3, Depp to Star as Riddler

Nearly had an heart attack!!!!

I love Tim Burton, and his Batman films are classics in their own right, but God almighty this sounds like it would be the worst decision in film history!! Nolan's franchise, in my opinion, is just in a different league from Burton's. Could you imagine following up his intense,larger than life masterpiece of a trilogy with cartoony, whimsical fun? No!

And OMFG. Replace Gary Oldman? REPLACE GARY GODAMN OLDMAN!? You can't replace Gary Oldman. I mean, he's Gary Oldman. Don't even joke about that. Seriously, if that were to happen, he'd make Alan Rickman his *****.

Johnny as the Riddler is a nice idea,though.

i cant wait

FYI! tim burton did the first batman movies, the penguin was the best one and he co directed the batman forever movie with jim carry, i think this is a great decision! i have to admit that the first batman dragged, and wasnt all that great, the dark night was awesome but heath ledger was a phenominal actor and played the joker perfect! i think this is a great transition, and im not just saying that because depp is my husband lol :)

Batman3

No way,George Clooney should direct and Arnold Schwarzenegger should play the Riddler in the new Bat movie!

tim burton

haha, they fooled me for a while there.

what the hell?

Okay, I'm not a super big batman fan, but the last two movies were frikken awesome. So to be blunt, I'm just gonna tell you guys straight up what is wrong with this picture.

1. You fired Christopher Nolan...COME. ON. After all hes done for you guys? I mean I like Tim Burton just as much as the next guy, but Nolan practically MADE this Batman series!

2. Just to insure Johnny Depp's place in the movie, you fired Christopher Nolan...Depp is my favorite actor, but even I know that to make a good movie you have to make some tough decisions. If Nolan decided that he didnt fit the part, and that the movie would be better with someone else, then what is the problem?

3. You're replacing Gary Oldman, an existing character (who was good at his part I might add) with Alan Rickman...Do you guys have any sense at all? Replacing good character with someone else REALLY puts a stop to the flow of things. People are already comfortable with Oldman, there havent been any complaints, so why. the. hell. would you replace him.

I am just one person among others who feels this way. Odds are you won't care about this at all because you're thinking that you guys are doing whats best, and I can't change. But I'm not the one spending the money to make the movie. If it goes badly, its on YOUR heads.

  No one fired Nolan !!!
  
  Nolan said he doesn't wants to do Batman anymore after he finishes his 3rd sequel...actually he didnt even wanted to do 2nd but somehow agreed on doing it...
  
  
  GOOOOOOOO BURTON...my Favourite Batmans were 1 and 2...i miss Michael Keaton :(

no

even though it's a joke, it's scary to even consider him as a director of batman movies seeing how christopher nolan made the dark night and batman begins so brilliantly and should continue, he is very great

Johnny Depp / Batman 3

Does anyone else find it funny that Johnny Depp is rockin a Freddy Krueger look in that photo?
