Nobody will ever truly replace Christopher Reeve as the image of Superman, but Brandon Routh has earned DC Comics’ respect enough to keep the role of the Man of Steel.

My weekly read-through of the pages of Production Weekly have yielded a few interesting factoids about some upcoming productions, including Batman 3.

They just can’t leave well enough alone, can they? According to a report form Robert over at IESB yesterday, 20th Century Fox co-chairman Tom Rothman is still eyeing a reboot of the Daredevil franchise.

George Clooney is one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood today. With titles under his belt like O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Michael Clayton, Ocean’s Eleven, and an impressive stint on the medical drama, ER, it’s hard to believe he ever made crap like Batman & Robin.

The success of The Dark Knight has spawned a DC comics film orgy. Warner Bros. lets us know which members of the superhero gang will be invited sooner than later.

The folks at Warner Bros. continue to remind us that Christopher Nolan hasn’t even decided to do another movie, let alone choose cast for one. But as always, that could change on a dime, especially if loose-lipped executives continue to chat with the equally loose-lipped Michael Caine.

Over the past few months the internet has been spinning ’round and ’round about what Christopher Nolan may or may not do with his next Batman film. Today, we get some news about one character that isn’t coming back.

Cher’s in the news again, rumored to be considered for the juicily sexy role of Catwoman opposite Christian Bale in the next Batman.

In 2005 and 2006, after a long hiatus with their superhero franchises, Warner Bros. put their two most iconic heroes in the hands of two up-and-coming directors. Since then, the two franchises have gone in different directions, a fact that is finally teaching WB some hard lessons.

I am thinking of starting up a rehabilitation center for people who are addicted to speculating about what may or may not happen with Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise. I feel that I would be a great fit to head up such an effort, as I would also be a client.

So far the battle lines have been drawn and the draw-bridge is up on the castle that holds all the answers for fans of The Dark Knight — no one is talking about another film. Fans appear to be excited, though.

Apparently Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the original Batman TV series, told the New York Daily News that she has knowledge that Angelina Jolie has inquired about playing Catwoman in the not yet announced third film in Christopher Nolan’s series.

Wait a minute, Robert Fure found 5 things he didn’t like about “The Dark Knight?” Blasphemy or right on the money, you decide.

The tagline of one of the movie’s posters is “welcome to a world without rules” and it could not be more fitting. Nolan’s vision is no-holds-barred and all the better for it. This movie is dark and complex, and never shies away from collateral damage or the potential thereof, which rewards the audience with one of the most suspenseful climaxes in recent memory.

There was no question going into this weekend that The Dark Knight was going to make a lot of money, but experts have been careful not to toss around the word record too much. As of right now, they can say it definitely, at least in two categories.

Our resident super-villain Cole Abaius takes a look at the way The Dark Knight may change the way we look at superhero films with multiple villains. He also looks at how we can prevent Spider-Man 3 from happening ever again.

For nearly 70 years Batman has survived, and now thrives, in the public eye. How has a cynic with dead parents and a list of enemies as long as his cape managed to captivate our attention? Sit in on a conversation between FSR Staffers Robert Fure and Adam Sweeney as they discuss the Caped Crusader.

As Gotham’s District Attorney Harvey Dent, Aaron Eckhart gives Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight a layer that not many fans are expecting. Here, he tells us about what it was like to see Harvey become the centerpiece for one of the year’s most anticipated films.

Quite simply, when you see The Dark Knight, you’re going to realize how truly awful the first wave of Batman films were.

Who should Batman fight in the third installment? Robert Fure hopes none of these bums make the cut.
