I think The Bat would be the perfect remake.
First off, it wasnt an overly amazing movie in the first place. It was good, dont get me wrong, but far from perfect. The Bat himself was pretty cool with the pre-Freddy bladed glove, and it the setting and B/W atmosphere certainly did it good. But other than those points, it wasnt the greatest. None of the actors did the jobs they could have done [VP was esp. disapointing], so they couldnt really mess it up by replacing them. Also, considering this is all Hollywod execs care about, I really think it'd make money. The "whodunnit" format is becoming more and more popular [IE: Cry_Wolf ect], fill it up with a couple of the dying breed of good, young, attractive actors...and you're set. Providing they kept the plot basically the same, and kept the time frame, I think it could be pretty cool.
