A note about the Batman role and it's various actors:
Today I was telling a friend about Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart as Joker and Two Face respectively and he asked "So is Bale still Batman?"
This question made me realize just how expected it is from the general public for the Batman actor to change. It probably will eventually. How many are Nolan and Bale signed on for? I would think 3, maybe 4 tops. But to think WB is smart enough to leave the series untouched and on a high note is foolish.
Batman will of course be recast and reworked down the road just as it's being done now, but it will probably even be recasted and reworked in the near future within this current series continuity.
Just like Burton and Keaton, Nolan and Bale will probably get canned after 3 because their realistic approaches aren't selling enough action figures or getting happy meal deals. A shame really.
