Hope Nolan doesn't get tempted to do another, cos if the latest has been approached from a 'saying all I have left to say about this character' perspective then anything but a potential The Dark Knight Returns at some point may simply not work under Nolan. The good thing about the success under Nolan is that any Reboot has, dramatically, places it can go that wouldn't have been possible before and WB/DC aren't gonna be skimping on either the cash or the integrity of the character (and no director wants to be the one to miss the mark in the wake of Nolan's films, so any reinvention should at least have a lot of thought put into it. My personal hope would have been for a tonal continuation, introducing further elements into the Nolanesque type Batverse, for new things for Batman to encounter, not understand and then overcome, because you can go anywhere, sci-fi wise, supernatural wise that way, AND counter the less hardcore feeling of disbelief about such things by having Batman be expressing disbelief himself. Evolution, not revolution would be my 'businesslike' approach and I think that would appeal to the money men at least, since Nolan has brought a lot of viewers in that wouldn;t necessarily go along with a radical more comic book reboot, in pure business terms, it doesn't make much sense to reboot too extremely while there is something to lose, and, much less box office than Nolan = failure in movie lore as yet unwritten. But that would depend on where Nolan leaves the main character at. Can't continue from a dead batman ending, but you can from a batman becomes the fully fledged, fully accepted Caped Crusader ending (cos the character creation arc is completed and then you can make a long series of films using major adversaries and also reboot the joker, a total box office banker when it comes along, and this series doesn't have to be so rooted in reality, it can add what it wants to add and broaden the world of the story). Then again, DC might just trial out a new Batman in a JLA film and if that goes well, rebuild Gotham as part of a world where superheroes do exist and magical powers/superpowers are not unwanted whistles and bells). Or they could go wherever. Whatever, I'll go and see whatever gets made and then praise/bitch about the results
