In my opinion, if there is a reboot, we are going to have to wait until 2020, due to Batman and Robin being 1997 while Batman Begins is 2005. Another thing is that to be a start of not Batman trilogy, but an actual franchise, you must either start off with a unusual or completely known character. Batman Begins include Scarecrow, Carmine Falcone, Joe Chill, Victor Zsasz, and Ra's al Ghul, while Batman (1989) includes the Joker. However, keep the franchise entertaining, unlike the corny jokes in Batman and Robin, with its off comic history. Yet, Nolan wasn't so off, but only a bit in the characters' origin.

In my choice, the title would be The Caped Crusader, and it should show the Joker, with his henchmen, the Tweeds. Meanwhile, Cameron Chase is in charge of finding out the Batman, while romatically interested in Bruce. Jack Ryder come in close with the Bats and the Joker. However, he is barely saved from the Joker, and has permanent damage. Finally, when Joker is captured and sent to Arkham, Hugo Strange and Harleen Quinzel assure Batman that the Joker will be cured.

Then the next movie would show Harleen moving real close to Bruce Wayne, working for Hugo Strange to see if Hugo is right, but is in fact also betraying Hugo for the Joker, due to gradually falling in love with him. Meanwhile, a researcher in the sidelines, named Jervis Tetch, believes that the blonde Harley is actually Alice, and controls the Joker with his experimental control chip to do everything that Jervis wants. While Batman brings Jervis and Hugo to justice, Harley and Joker escape. The new director, Alyce Sinner, makes sure that Hugo and Jervis aren't going anywhere. Also reporting, Jack Ryder is seen hurting mentally, as he grabs his head, a lot. Only to see that his skin is changing.
