I typically like Joel Schumaker films, and I can see the logic behind hiring him for "Batman" after Tim Burton. He's not the same kind of visual director, but he can do darker and moodier work. It's just amazing how badly he fit the Batman franchise.

I hope the next Batman movie rocks, and that Chris Nolan is a better fit. Warner Bros is certainly casting the hell out of the movie; Bale, Freeman, Wanatabe, Oldman, Caine, Cillian Murphy, and Katie Holmes thusfar off the top of my head, so the onus is on Nolan to make it not suck. And I think he'd have to actively work towards suckage with the cast he's got.

I'd love it if it were as dark as, say, "Insomnia." That felt like a Batman story ought to feel, I realize looking back at it now.

Goyer also writes comics, so I have faith it'll be both faithful and easy to get into. It'll most likely be dark, but to be quite honest I'm not a huge fan of Nolan's "Insomnia." I don't like how they turned it into a Hollywood film, though I suppose that's unavoidable in an adaptation into American sensibilities. I prefer the Norweigan version, personally.

I haven't seen the original version of "Insomnia," so I've got no basis of comparison. "Blade" I saw when I was at skinner's place for her wedding and I liked it a lot.

Thanks for the info.
