All I want to know is how you can say that this film will suck without Keaton and Burton... Burton had a vision - but it wasn\'t exactly true to the comics. Nolan has a vision also, and if you go with the casting / script and all information we have so far, he is on the right track for a faithful adapation to the comic. How hard is that to understand?
Yes, WB wanted to take the franchise into another direction, as they came under fire for the fact that Batman was extremely dark and violent for a so-called "super-hero". Yes, Keaton was physically beat up wearing a 70lb rubber suit and yes he refused to sign on without Burton. But I still fail to see how that has bearing on this upcoming film. Obviously WB has realized that the campy Batman is not the Batman people want. So, they are rebooting the franchise with a more faithful adaption of the comic, a rather bleak orgin tale.
