=======================
Cinescape Online at http://www.cinescape.com reports that with the success of the X-Men movie - a fifth Batman movie is planned.
'Batman 5' Details After months of rumors, Darren Aronofsky has officially been tapped to direct the fifth Batman movie... and it will be an adaptation of Batman: Year One. According to Variety, besides the director, acclaimed writer-artist Frank Miller, writer of the Batman: Year One mini-series, has come on board the developing project to craft the coming film's script with Aronofsky. Miller also created Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and is currently working on its sequel.
As the title suggests, Batman : Year One tells the story of Bruce Wayne's first year in the cape and cowl. The story also provides us glimpses of a young police Lieutenant named James Gordon in his first encounters with the Bat (regardless of how it was presented in Tim Burton's Batman) as well as an interesting, different approach to Catwoman. One would hope that by adapting Year One, the series would be relaunched with a clean slate, thus allowing the use of other previously used, perhaps abused, members of Batman's rogues gallery, including the Joker and the Penguin.
In addition, the trade reports that producer Eric Watson, who did his duties for Aronofsky's Pi and Requiem For a Dream, may jump on Batman 5 as well.
