Batman 3(SPOILERS TO TDK)

With the success of The Dark Knight, I am quite surprised that Christopher Nolan(the director of the re-boot Batman franchise), hasn't committed to a sequel to The Dark Knight. For one I can agree with his state of the franchise-- because The Dark Knight was an undeniable success, and perhaps one of the best movies I've watched. But looking at the first two-- the quality in both titles, I realize that Nolan may have a hard time topping both movies.

But my question is to Batman fans, if Nolan decides to make the third installment should it be the final of the franchise, and if so what would you like to see in the third installment? I am unsure how Nolan would make Batman work in the third movie, or what type of character he would become because at the end he had Commisioner Gordon call in the cops. And what villians would play a role in the movie.

Personally I hope Nolan decides to come back along with the cast for the third movie. No one could finish his vision except himself, and he commited to the franchise by making the two movies. I think it would be proper if Nolan came back for the third movie. I would also like to see the conclusion to the franchise, as they are often ruined with too many sequels. I wouldn't expect the third movie to be as good as The Dark Knight, but I would be satisifed with a great movie that ends the series.

I highly doubt Nolan will make a 3rd one.

He was hesitant to even make the Dark Knight so I don't get your hopes up.

Wasnt a sequel already announced/planned? With the Riddler and/or Penguin as the villains.EVOLV3

Personally I don't want this franchise to get out of control, and I'd like it if they stopped.

That being said, I heard a rumor that Johnny Depp would be the riddler, and to be honest, I think he could really pull it off. Johnny Depp really commits himself to his movies. A lot like Heath Ledger did.

If he does make a third I hope he doesn't plan on having too many villians, because it could ultimately ruin it. vibrantdesign

[QUOTE="-Sniper99-"][QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] No, nothing is official. Nolan has already says he has no plan on a third yet, he will wait until he has a good story. He says he knows how hard it is to make a good third film, and doesnt wish to rush it or make one that will fall short. The studio is talking about a third. Rumor has it they want Johnny Depp to play Riddler and Phillip Seymor Hoffman to play the Penguin. But nothing is official. Recently a lot of news has come out saying that the studio wants Rachel Wiesz to play Catwomen, which I think is a great idea. Ever since talk of a third and a possible Catwomen has come out, I have said I wanted Rachel Weisz, and to hear news/rumors that she might play Catwomen is a possible third is great news. Im not sure if I would like a third, I like how the second ended. Im glad Nolan isnt rushing things, he is a great director, and to hear him say he will not move on to a third unless he is confident in a good story/script just proves this. I trust what ever he does.SaintLeonidas

Heh, I have a feeling that the third batman will flop, because everyone will be expecting so much after Ledger's "brilliant" performance. The irony, of course, is that Ledger was completely over-hyped and, in reality, wasn't actually that good.chessmaster1989

The other day I read a Yahoo article saying that there was rumors that Rachel Dawes would return from the dead and become Catwoman. Maggie Gyllenhaal and Aaron Eckhart both signed on for 2 movies, so Two-Face might come back as well.omfg_its_dally

Yes, it is my opinion, and I am entitled to it. And, it is the opinions of those people whom you mention that "not only was it one of the best films of the year, but Ledger was brilliant."

Also, please read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum.

The conclusion: just because a lot of people support your opinion does not make it true. I will, therefore, kindly ask you to, in the future, refrain from issuing such statements, for they are irrelevant.

Oh, and, by the way, your statement is also an overgeneralization: for the record, not all of the critics were as enamored with The Dark Knight as you seem to imply.

I think the ending to TDK was good enough to just leave it at thatDivergeUnify

I would literally cry if they had Mr. Freeze in the third Batman :(vibrantdesign

If the have a third It would be cool to see like the Mad Hatter, or VentriloquistLief_Ericson

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] lol the funny thing about that statement is its your opinion....and according to nation wide critics and hundreds of thousands of people not only was it one of the best films of the year, but Ledger was brilliant....so judging by how much so many others loved The Dark Knight...it would defiantly not flop, probably make more then this one did.SaintLeonidas

To think it will flop is not ridiculous, it is a valid opinion. Just because a movie does well, does not necessarily mean it's sequel will.

As for your argument about the critics, it is bogus: the reaction of the critics is irrelevant to how well a film's sequel will do; what is relevant is how much people want to see it, and how much people think it will be good.

Oh, and I never said that most critics didn't like it-I merely said that not all critics did. I happen to agree with those 14/250 critics who, quite frankly, didn't think it was such a great movie. And, quite frankly, I couldn't care less if none of those critics agreed with me.

He's 78, and still making great movies :P. Kudos to Eastwood for a spectacular career.

You guys don't know what your talking about! If you even bothered to look up some info you'd find that Nolan is entitled to a trilogy and the title is "Gotham City". Also, scenes were left off the DVD purposely in respect of Heath Ledger. Nolan obviously has some extra footage left over in the stock room, so I believe that he will be using them to clear up the vague ending of TDK. This will show what happened after the joker's last scene in the movie. The Riddler is not going to be Eddie Murphy, Shia Labeouf is not going to be Robin, and there willdefinitelybe NO Cat Woman! Just search around the net and you'll be surprised how much info and spoilers you can find on upcoming films!

I'd love to see Johnny Depp play the Riddler. He has many characteristics as Heath Ledger-- in other words Depp takes his roles very seriously. I think he would make a great Riddler.vibrantdesign

imo Heath Ledger is one of the best actors i have ever seen

Nolan signed for a 3 part trilogy (which is true) but after TDK, he said that he is going to take a long break from the movie. Speculation has said that it might be released in 2012, which is 3 years from now (and a very long ways) No one has even been signed to write it so you can expect to not hear from the movie until a very very long time.

*shrugs* the only two roles I've seen him in are The Dark Knight and Brokeback Mountain, and I did not think he was anything special in either of them (Brokeback Mountain was a fantastic movie, but not because of Ledger).
