Is this movie suppose to take place between Batman 1 and Batman 2 chronologically? The ones directed by Tim Burton?
Actually, no, and I’m glad to clarify that, because I know that can be confusing.
“Batman Begins” was actually not a prequel to “Batman,” but the start of an entirely new Bat-movie franchise. So the sequels (it will probably be a trilogy) will have all new takes on the characters, and it will (respectfully) have nothing to do with Tim Burton’s movies.
The thinking was that since “Batman and Robin”, the one with George Clooney, was so unbelievably awful, that the only way to continue more Batfilms would be to start over from scratch. Although it took them about eight years to figure out how they wanted to do it.
