Superman confirmed to be a reboot.

Urrg...too many superhero movies now.

I am against the justice league idea because I honestly don't think the Batman they've created in this new series can exist in the same world as all of that weird magic stuff that give the other heroes their powers.

If they do Justice League, Batman should be left out of it.

Thats why its the perfect time for the Watchmen movie. Time to blow the genre up a little.

The problem isn't too many superhero movies (I personally think there are a ton of characters they can tap into). the problem is the quality ratio there are a LOT more stinkers than there are genuine winners. I also think people should stop looking at them like superhero movies and make movies that have superheroes in them. It is why The Dark Knight works so well. It is a movie first that happens to star a man who dresses up as a bat.

And I don't think a Justice League movie without Batman would be fun, people are most familar with him and Superman and I think those two would be needed to give the movie some weight and momentum.

One could argue that the new Batman movie was "less" of a comic book movie because it felt like a 'regular movie' who had a main character that happened to be Batman. I agree though...the "ohhhh" and the "awww" is starting to ware off in some of these comic book films.

I also think the creative end of comic book movies are starting to recognize more of a broad area of comics, and not just the flashy, 90's era tights and explosions comics. Comics have been much more realistic and though provoking since the 2000's, and the movies are finally starting to catch up to it.

That's a perfectly acceptable evolution, but if you removed the Batman/Joker dualism from the Dark Knight it would hardly qualify as a "comic" movie in terms of cinematic elements. And, one could possibly argue in terms of plot as well.
