Why did it took DC a long time to create a new Batman film? It feels like Batman and Robin was ages ago.

I think Warner Brothers wasn't having much success in the box office carrying on the films, it was though they were just pumping them out from hype of the previous film. I also think that they had to wait until someone came along and wrote a script which was good enough to sink $150 million into.

That shows us how scriptwriters are important on making movies. That's probably why they striked because some of them may feel underpaid.

The Batman franchise was more or less considered dead, untill Batman Begins came along

it was only 8 years i mean think about the longest yard, star wars, titanic, superman,italian job and war of the worlds they all took ages to make remakes or new film series until they were made

Well it took so long because first the script took longer than usual and the movie was a little longer and also better.

Titanic, bluh.

Mj Vashti, why are you talking about the Titanic?

Because....

But this thing has nothing to do with the Titanic.

It is often, however, when people express their disgust of something when it is mentioned...

Example: Barabra Streisand's face. At least one other person outside of me would shrug that vision, just like the movie Titanic.

Hey, I know you meant me about the Titanic thing, it just wasn't part of what everyone was talking about, that is all.

They were originally going to do a film much closer to the time Batman and Robin came out involving Scarecrow....but the movies weren't doing as well as they had when the Batman series started and people were giving up on it....so years later a whole new team does a new kind of Batman

Somehow it came to a point of feeling like batman came too slow.Yeah,batman begin starts the journey again and make the fan excited to see the next movie.

I think it just took that long to get a new movie out. WB was concerned that the comic book movie genre was dead, especially after the atrocity that came in the late 90s. I also believe that the reason the newer Batman has been so successful was because they gave it a realistic and dark tone.

As Nolan hates using CGI (even stating that he was absolutely pissed they couldn't film the jump in Hong Kong in real-time) most everything in the newer films is very much possible in real life. This coupled with the fact that I think people want to see super hero films that are serious and not cheesy adds to the success.

maybe they wanted it to be really good.
