Did you forget to take your medication today?
The last two Batman films were a joke. Batman and Returns slap them all over on a daily basis
BvS was never really got past the planning stage, and despite loads of rumours about who would star, no-one was ever attached, and after prime mover and shaker at WB, Di Bonaventura, was sacked, the movie went down the pan. Basically, after the disaster that was Batman and Robin, WB have put it on the back burner, and are far more interested in reviving the Superman franchise.
(If you're interested in more, I wrote a post on it ages ago, use the SR search function to find it - its imaginatively titled 'Batman vs. Superman Cancelled' :D)
Batman Year One has been in development hell for ages - Darren Aronofsky is to direct, though no star is as yet attached. If there is to be a Bat film in the near future, then forget about Year One, a new film, tentatively entitled Batman: The Frightening, is being mooted around WB studios.

I didn't know it had been canned already (it wasn't announced all that long ago). Are you sure about this? Can't say I'm in the least bit disappointed though.
There is the prequel Batman: Year One that's definitely still on the cards.

The Batman films were ok - although Batman Forever was brilliant - but I'm really far more interested in the Marvel-lincensed films in the making. I had no idea the Fantastic Four and Iron Man were getting films, though.
Cool beans.
The future doesn look pretty good for films, especially comic book adaptations. I hope a Batman film is forthcoming, but it doesn't look like it will be for the forseeable future, especially after the demise of BvS.
Of course there will most likely be a third X-men and Spider-man films and The Hulk is also marked for a sequel already.
I'm waiting for 2005 when we'll (provisionally) have Indiana Jones 4, Jurassic Park 4 and the sure-fire best picture oscar winning epic Wallace & Gromit: The Great Vegetable Plot!!!
