Ideas for Batman 3?

[Shuriken!]

Nolan and friends aren't really working on anything right now so if you're down let's speculate. Here is my idea:

Bad cop comes in to the GPD, and it's all good cops (Gordon) vs bad cops. The bad cops are really passionate about finding Batman so they hire The Riddler to track him down. (No one knows how evil The Riddler really is though.) Gordon will basically have his hands full trying to help Batman while also dealing with bad cops and The Riddler.

Dark Knight thread.

[billyboatkid]

Riddler is all I care to see.

They could make an amazing movie with a psychopathic Riddler. Could be made more realistic like the other two.

[brandnew=love]

I heard they might get Johnny Depp as the Riddler...

[screamoutmyname]

i'm feeling the riddler/two-face thing, like the jim carey/tommy lee jones movie.

gary oldman was quoted as to saying "johnny depp will be the riddler and philip seymore hoffman will be the penguin" before the dark knight hit theaters, if i'm not mistaken.

Warning: Spoiler...


The film opens with Batman stopping a hostage situation caused by Two-Face (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-Face), alter ego (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alter_ego) of physically/emotionally scarred former district attorney (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_attorney) Harvey Dent. Two-Face escapes. Edward Nygma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riddler), a researcher at Wayne Enterprises (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Enterprises) develops a device to beam television directly to a person's brain. Bruce Wayne rejects the invention and Edward resigns from his position.
After having met psychiatrist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatrist) Dr. Chase Meridian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Chase_Meridian), Bruce invites her to a charity circus event. Two-Face and his henchman (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henchman) storm the event, while acrobat family The Flying Graysons are murdered. The youngest member, Dick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Grayson), survives and stops a bomb from exploding caused by Two-Face. Upon his return, he discovers Two-Face killed his family and escaped. Bruce assumes responsibility for Dick and allows him to stay at Wayne Manor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Manor). Dick declares his intention to kill Two-Face in revenge for his family's murder, and when he discovers Bruce's secret identity as Batman, he insists on becoming his sidekick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidekick), "Robin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_%28comics%29)".
Meanwhile, Edward has become psychologically obsessed with Bruce, leaving riddles for him. He decides to become a criminal known as "The Riddler" and allies with Two-Face. With his invention, Edward can read and control people's minds, and steal their intelligence quotient (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_quotient). At a business party, Edward discovers Bruce's secret identity, while Robin saves Wayne's life. However, Two-Face and Riddler converge into the Batcave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batcave), destroying most of the equipment, and leaving a riddle.
Solving the riddle, Batman and Robin locate the Riddler's lair. This leads to holding both Robin and Chase Meridian as hostages. Giving Batman the choice of only being able to save one of them, he finds a way to save both. Batman destroys the brainwave-collecting device, warping Riddler in the process. In the battle, Two-Face falls to his death. The Riddler is committed to Arkham Asylum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arkham_Asylum), and Chase is asked to consult on his case. Riddler offers to reveal the identity of Batman to her, but he thinks himself Batman. Chase then meets Bruce Wayne outside and tells him his secret is safe.












Oh wait, you meant Batman Seven....

[Sventhegreat]

I would actually love to see Jim Carey do "The Riddler" role again, but make him more dark and not as wacky. Similar to his role in The Number 23, I think he would do an awesome job like that.

[Machu505]

Adrian Brody as The Riddler plz.

I am actually behind this idea. Jim does a great job in more dramatic roles like Eternal Sunshine and 23.

I know I am probably alone, but I would love to see Robin in some way incorporated. I know either Nolan or Bale or someone said that they wouldn't do this, but I always liked Robin. Before the gay jokes roll in, understand that Dick Grayson actually has a really deep, dark past, and I just think he was overgayed in the older movies, but could be a really cool character.

[ActionActionFan]

Carey is either hit or miss, so I don't know if they want to risk it being a miss. Depp would be great. I would also love to see Robert Knepper in the role but it would never happen.

BTW, the sand out of vagina joke has basically become white noise as EVERYONE on this site has been using it as their go-to "I have nothing to say but want to sound witty yet vulgar" joke. As a service to this thread, it would be great if you would either contribute or just shut up.

[cahrishurr]

lol im gonna call you Nickelback...that was lame as hell

[Hojonny]

because the direction of this series is much better than those cheesy B-Grade films, and Carrey has improved greatly as an actor since then.

If you replace "The Riddler" in your post with "The Joker" you will essentially have the plot to the Dark Knight.

Wow when I was watching TDK I didn't notice an extremely corrupt GPD, and I didn't even know of any bad cops hiring The Joker! Did you even watch the movie?

If TDK was Heat, Batman 3 should be The Departed.

Carrey would be a horrible, horrible choice, and would never happen, because like you said the direction of the series is much better now and would NEVER consider him, so get over it.

[cahrishurr]

Jim Carey hasnt evolved that much as an actor..hes still making ridiculous movies like his new one Yes Man.

[AShannon04]

It looks like Liar Liar all over again

[Why Bother?]

The next Batman will star Sylvester Stallone as Batman.

[cahrishurr]

It looks like Liar Liar all over again

Exactly my thoughts upon first viewing of the trailer.

[c_rob2700]

There is no way Nolan would let Carrey play the Riddler anyway, I can see Johnny Depp playing him though.

Call me crazy but i kind of wish they wouldn't make a third, there is no way any villain can top Ledger's Joker, and it would endlessly get compared to TDK. I just don't think they can top it.

I really just hope no other director gets rights to the third, i really don't want to see this franchise ruined again

[CstSnow]

No way Nolan would let Carrey into his franchise anyway.

Call me crazy but i kind of wish they wouldn't make a third, there is no way any villain can top Ledger's Joker, and it would endlessly get compared to TDK. And no matter what it will be a let down, i just don't think they can top Dark Knight

They may not be able to top TDK but another movie could be just as good. There are some amazing stories in the comics that havent been touched yet, and would be great on film. Having no way for the Joker to even make a cameo will really hurt, but isnt something that they cant overcome.

[Why Bother?]

If Nolan makes the third, people should walk in the theater knowing it won't top TDK and just be glad they'll get a legit trilogy.

[c_rob2700]

Yeah, i mean i'd be happy for another one as long as they put together a great story. A small majority of the Batman comic villains are way too cheesy to put on film though, so i have a hard time thinking of who they would use. The Riddler is everyones guess but i don't know. I know they won't bring in Robin because they're still portraying a young Bruce Wayne.

[c_rob2700]

Key phrase there, i will go in with the utmost optimism in that case.

[Hojonny]

Carrey would be a horrible, horrible choice, and would never happen, because like you said the direction of the series is much better now and would NEVER consider him, so get over it.

Wow, don't get too touchy about a subject that isn't that sensitive. I'm not in love with him, don't tell me to get over it just to sound like you are proving a point and winning an argument.

In my opinion, Carrey would be a good choice for the role. I wouldn't just hand it out to him, but I think he would be good for the role given his talents. I will admit that he can be hit and miss, which is a valid reason to not like him.

They may not be able to top TDK but another movie could be just as good. There are some amazing stories in the comics that havent been touched yet, and would be great on film. Having no way for the Joker to even make a cameo will really hurt, but isnt something that they cant overcome.

Wish I could find the article for you, but I believe Michael Cain or Nolan himself made a comment alluding to the fact that they have a bunch of unused footage and that it wouldn't be impossible for the joker to make an appearance in a later film. If I find the article I'll post a link.

Let Nolan come off his high of The Dark Knight before even thinking about a 3rd movie.

He'll most likely direct a couple different movies before he returns to the franchise anyway.

Adrian Brody as The Riddler plz.
wait didn't jess want this too?

[Recovery Room]

Seeing as Nolan's Batman universe is based in reality, I don't see him having a zombie villain.

[yakob89]

The penguin isn't going to fit in nolans world niether is mr freeze or posion ivy. The riddler would but The actor who decides to play him if they decide to use him will have some big shoes to fill. Aaron eckhart also is a good actor and I'm interested to see what Nolan does with his character. As well as batman I mean he lost the only women who gave him hope to be something else, it'll be interesting to see his character evolve too.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

I don't know what the next movie will have to offer but I certainly hope the next Dark Knight thread has more to offer then this one. I've seen the 5 others and they all have a better plot line then this.

[BauerFTW]

[thursday727]

I think Nolan should do something different then the typical batman villains people think of
how about Talia Al Ghul and Man Bat? Clayface would be fucking awesome as well.

[ReadyForAction]

I would love an entire movie based on Nightfall

[Hojonny]

Anyone else want to see Robin? I know lots of people just write him off as the gay sidekick, but I'd like to see him integrated into the plot.

[Machu505]

Please keep Robin out of this.

[airik625]

Why am I not surprised about who created this thread.

[SellMachines]

I know two face is not coming back but I would love to se him go ape shit in the third film if he was brought back, and maybe Rachel somehow survived and is pissed about batman not saving her and she turns into catwoman. She would use tactics from the scarecrow and joker, and team up with two face and BOOM! The result is a lame ending but I read on the internet (I know) that Aaron and Maggie signed on for two films.

[drudo182]

Here is an article on Nolan apparently not returning for a third film.

http://www.joblo.com/index.php?id=27059

[FueledByFrodo]

I thought that in the Dark Knight it was really sealed off, with no chance of any more for a while.

[drudo182]

The article on Batman-On-Film says that there was an agreement for WB to do Inception if he follows it up with Batman 3.

[Gaugzilla]

I'm sure he'll be back for another. But if not, no sour grapes, TDK wrapped things up pretty well.

[drudo182]

Well no matter what, they will be making a third Batman film so him wrapping it up nicely, won't matter.

If someone like Zach Snyder were to take over, I'd lose it.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

I hope he does it just for closure on his trilogy.
Raimi :shudder:

[fake empire]

I'd like to see Aronofsky make one

[Ailite]

I'd like for Nolan to come back and I'd also like people to leave him alone and not talk about Batman 3 until Inception is done. Give the man some time.

[yoyostring]

i'd really really like to see him do a third sometime in the future. i'm so interested to see where he'd take it.

[coryatlarge]

ok nolan has said plenty of times he wont bring in robin, he wont use a villain thats been in the previous movies, and two face is fucking dead. shitty thread.

[starseed]

ok nolan has said plenty of times he wont bring in robin, he wont use a villain thats been in the previous movies, and two face is fucking dead. shitty thread.

Doesn't C negate B? I'd have a hard time thinking of who he'd use if not someone who's been in the movies already if he wants to stay within realism without resorting to an obscure kind of villain.

[jusscali]

Two Face isn't dead, Eckhart said so (or alluded to the fact) after 6 or so months of denying he was still alive. Regardless, I think they need a third film, I thought the TDK was everything except "sealed off" as one of you put it. In fact, I'll get flamed for saying this, but TDK actually loses value if a third one doesn't close out the series.

[nfggc10]

How would TDK lose value without a follow up? Nolan didn't end it on a cliffhanger or even something resembling Batman Begins' ending with the Joker reference.

[jusscali]

I guess I just wasn't satisfied with how it ended at all. The more I watch it, the more I feel that way. I mean I thought he was dead, but when he was interviewed it seemed like he had another idea in mind

[eraserhead]

If Nolan doesn't want to do a third, there shouldn't be a third.

[jusscali]

Hollywood doesn't give a fuck about what's right and wrong. It's rather ironic though, because Nolan and his brother wanted to reboot Batman and take it to this other level, to give it legitimacy and to rectify the shit from the past. Now, having since turned Batman into this powerhouse thing, once he leaves, the studio is going to churn out more shit Batman's, reverting back to the past that Nolan wanted to fix i the first place. It's inevitable.

[B00sh]

It shall be called Return of the Caped Crusader!

[Adeniz19]

It would be possible to go back and forth on some of these issues, but the undeniable point is that there is absolutely zero evidence that Christopher Nolan is not going to direct a third Batman flick or even that he is very down on the idea. None at all. All of the very generic comments by Christopher, his brother, and even Christian Bale, have been just that, generic. The epic weight and workload behind making such a film would provoke some pessimism from the best of us, especially when the last film isn’t even a year old and any comments of note were made on the back end of a frightfully big publicity whirlwind.

http://www.thecinemapost.com/2009/06/18/rumor-debunk-christopher-nolan-and-batman-3the-dark-knight-ii/

[starseed]

Yeah guys. Give them some time. Batman Begins came out in 2005. Dark Knight in 2008. I wouldn't expect a third film until 2011 at the earliest.

[Adeniz19]

Inception will be released in July 2010 and Nolan probably wouldn't start working on a follow up batman movie until a couple months after that. Doubt he would try and hurry production of it to release it summer 2011 so I think summer 2012 is a more realistic timeline.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

If Two-Face is in the third movie it will be very difficult for me. He lost his love interest and sought revenge. I don't think he's a believable character if he carries on than that.

[batmannj]

I hate to reduce Heath Leger's death into a simple look at the Batman film series, but I have a hard time wondering how they are going to make a third film even worthy of how great The Dark Knight was.

[narcoleptic953]

I hate to reduce Heath Leger's death into a simple look at the Batman film series, but I have a hard time wondering how they are going to make a third film even worthy of how great The Dark Knight was.

I doubt they will. However, I loved Batman Begins, and have no trouble believing that Chris Nolan can think something up.

[DivisionStreet]

He died.

[Greg.Kushlan]

If Two-Face is in the third movie it will be very difficult for me. He lost his love interest and sought revenge. I don't think he's a believable character if he carries on than that.

thats what i've been telling people. He was a tragic hero, there is no point in having him back in the third movie.

I was to see Deadshot in the third, even as a small villain. I want it to keep the mob a big part of the story, keep it away from the campy villains that are in the comics. If they want to go in the route of the rouges gallery they should wait until Nolan finishes his series off.

[Greg.Kushlan]

Sucks that the majority of people will compare this to TDK, it is inevitable that a lot of people will be disappointed with this, as wrong as that will be.

I think as long as it is in the middle between Batman Begins and TDK quality wise that most people will still like it.

agreed. there are so many villians in the batman anthology that are less campy and more intricate. although some of the campier - like riddler, dr. freeze, penguin - are interesting to watch on film. i kind of want killer croc or even to have harley quinn introduced, looking for revenge for the joker.

I would like to see a retelling of Mr freeze in a different series down the road. I thought it would be awesome to have somebody like Hugo Weaving take on the role of Mr. Freeze.

They should put some elements of hush into the next story, especially if The Riddler is going to be the villan for the next movie.

That article says they're not sure who's directing, this (http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b135856_gary_oldman_next_batman_fli ck_shooting.html) one says that he confirmed it will be Nolan. I obviously don't know if that's actually true but I hope it is.
I really hope it's Nolan.

I can't imagine them doing it without Nolan

[whataclush]

leave Batman Forever alone!!!! leave it alone!!!!!

[narcoleptic953]

I don't think Nolan is the only director who could continue this Batman, they just have to find someone who will stay relatively close to his vision (i.e. don't have a repeat of Joel Schumacher).

[WakingTheMisery]

I heard Superman is going to be the villain. Some guy at Comic Con said it.

Why? It was an atrocious movie.

[as_we_learn]

Next Villain = The Goatse

[cirerelleum]

if johnny depp is in the next batman, i will be rather annoyed.

[whataclush]

Why? It was an atrocious movie.

haha, it was the only batman movie i liked, tbh.

[whoaisame]

I say:

Director: Nolan
Batman: Christian Bale
The Joker: Michael Emerson

Update from JoBlo:

UPDATE: Well, that didn't take long. Seems Oldman might've spoken too soon, and is already back-tracking somewhat. AICN (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41811) just sat down with the man, and now he's saying "...well, I'm sure they want to do another one... it might 2 or 3 years." You'd think someone at WB would have given him a "lesson" about how COMIC CON works. Oh well...

This kind of confirms that David Goyer and Jonathan Nolan are working on a script for a third film that Christopher Nolan came up with. Can't wait to hear what it's about.

[Full Effect Ed]

Personally, I hope this film never happens

[drudo182]

Why not?

[Full Effect Ed]

Three reasons:
1) They're going to try too hard to top TDK
2) Christian Bale annoys the fuck out of me now (he used to be one of my favorite actors, ever since the Batman films he's really gotten to me because he's the same character in all his films)
3) See reason 1 again

[Mirrorsandfevers]

We can only hope it's done well.

[drudo182]

If the Nolan brothers and Goyer just make another Batman movie, it will end up fine.

Not sure what to tell you about Christian Bale. I don't agree. He's been pretty diverse in most of his films.

[WatchTheNight]

bane!!

[LegendaryX]

Theres not way this movie is going to suck. Nolan and co know what needs to be done. I can't wait for this movie to get underway.

[drudo182]

No way, dude. Dark Knight was too good to even top. Hope this doesn't get made.

What The Dark Blight was the most overrated movie ever, I could have made a better movie with my action figures and a disposable camera

[Smash Adams]

Dark Blight? Clever.
Perhaps too clever for people who actually think that, yeah I think it is

[element4433]

You could have said "Dark Fright," but you have the vocabulary to say "blight." Kudos.

Don't know if anyone has posted anything referring to this?

[OurLadyCoolbean]

I think the new movie should have Black Mask. Nobody's mentioned him yet, but he ties in perfectly with the whole mob setting of Gotham. Not as a main villain, mind you.
I think the Riddler would work very well if they played him a lot like he was in Batman: The Animated Series (minus the outfit). But please, NO JOHNNY DEPP.

[mattyrocks]

bane!!


oh hell yes.
