I agree. The ending was perfect but it left open the possibility of the story continuing so it doesn't necessarily have to be Batman again, it could be Blake changing the Batsuit around, adding some red and calling himself Robin.
Opening action sequence: Blake forgets to check his corners.
/roll end credits
Lamest movie EVER!
Hmm... Maybe we need a live action version of Under the Red Hood, then?
I think that would be a brilliant choice to use after Batman's re-appearance in Justice League. It gives the potential to dive into a bigger universe (Black Mask, Jason, Joker, Nightwing, Amazo, Ra's, etc) and is an excellent story that dives back into his history. Naturally, they'd have to gloss over reality punching and go for the Lazarus Pit, but it also opens the door to The Society.
Are there stories better and more deserving of the big screen treatment? Absolutely, but another origin story would be overkill and, to be blunt, I simply love 'Under the Red Hood.' The animated movie further supports that it can be incredibly powerful if translated well.
Either way, DC needs to start pumping out some movies to keep up with Marvel. One of the main reasons I'd like to see a movie about Blake continuing on is they could use the momentum of Nolan's Batman, maybe attaching Nolan as an executive producer in name only. The animated Under the Red Hood was awesome so they would already know the story works, and we've seen other movies (Watchmen, Sin City, etc) take the darker, more violent path so the beatings wouldn't be too difficult to include. I guess the major risk involved is over-saturating the market with Batman, people might have already grown tired of him.
