BATMAN 5 aka YEAR ONE director talk...

Hey folks, Harry here and a little bird of prey just flew in to tell me that Warner Brothers.... aka Lorenzo DiBonaventura.... is currently talking to.... Darren Aronofsky to helm the next BATMAN film. Darren brought us PI and has been attached to PROTEUS, which is a story about a U.S. sub crew in WWII that has to fight the Germans as well as some sort of Monster. Aronofsky would be an interesting angle to take on BATMAN... kind of like if you brought in SPIKE JONZE or GUY RITCHIE or DAVID FINCHER. It would be one of those... turn your head at an angle... switch to the opposite angle.... scratch the scalp... then go, "Hmmm... that's interesting." Personally, I hope they attach a director before the screenplay is complete so that they limit the amount of roundtable corporate second guessing to a mere spit in a bucket. Now as far as I know... Warners still doesn't have a screenwriter in place for BATMAN YEAR ONE and are continuing to explore takes on a BATMAN BEYOND film... though production on a BATMAN BEYOND film will probably wait till Keanu is free from his MATRIX duties... If Warners still wants him after those. Well... that's the latest.
