Batman should die in the next film!

[Fresh Prince]

Always liked the idea of Batman figthing Dracula in a live action movie.

It will die if we don't reply to this thread

I don't think Batman should die so early in his career, but I would like a time gap between Batman 3 and any potential sequels. This would effectively separate Nolan's work from that of whoever inherits the Batman franchise, thereby serving the same intended purpose that Batman's death would.

I think Rachel's death was necessary, as she was the one and only bound to his bruce wayne life. But Alfred is part of hs path to becoming the Dark Knight, and he still needs him as a guide.

still it would be interesting to see how he cops with the lost, but I supect it would be close to ho he was when he thought gordon was dead.

This idea is interesting. I kind of like it. This series should end with Batman 3 anyways so why not. Batman sacrificing himself for Gotham .........a tragic end that unites them all.

If Bane wasn't completely wasted in Batman & Robin I'd have used him in the third Batman Begins-verse movie. Bane breaks Batman's back at the end and someone else takes up the mantle in the next movie.

But thanks to "Let's kick some ice" that won't happen.

I vote no, I'm getting tired of death being used as a simple plot device in media as of late. Why kill him? Why not use skill to portray an open ended finality? Something like after the main quest, if has people talking of Batman and his legend through the years. "At first...he ran alone. (Footage of Batman running rooftop to rooftop in his original BB outfit) Cold, determined and solitary. But later, he changed, he grew. He gained a family. (Other members of the Bat-Family appear alongside Batman running). Through tragedy and loss the good fight continued. They never compromised, they never gave in. Even in our darkest hour...the Batman would be there." (Music builds, fades out)

See, now, my writing is not the best, but you could convey that despite this being the final film, the story continued for a long time and even, maybe imply at a death if you want. You really don't have to be boxed in and slam down the "death card" in order to close the series. It's all about artistic vision and skill. You could tell the audience, "Hey no more films, but Batman will live on, maybe re imagined someday, maybe not by this crew, but it's been a fun ride!"

I also agree that it is way too early in his career to do this. I dunno, those are my $0.02

Judging by logic, I don't think he was...

Oh, and fail on you for simply posting a picture of FAIL without stating why. That's very creative of you.

[Bathead]

I really think killing him off is a bad idea. There's something compelling about the idea that Batman's struggle is an unending one, one that he could not truly finish, even if he lived a hundred years, and that it likely will be carried on by others into the future. His story seems more epic that way.

[TheRookie311]

I like it in a way. How about batman fakes his death at the end in order to outmaneuver the joker who somehow had faked is death in two. The joker never seen in this movie other than flash backs from the second, has put together this fake criminal the riddler when somehow batman realizes that the riddler in this movie is actually a pawn of the jokers and part of the jokers big master plan to end batman.

I dont know about the third installment, but man I've really wanted this to freakin' happen for a long time! It's such a good segway to get some other films going, not to mention to take a break from the batfilms! From there we could possibly skip the whole Robin thing, and perhaps go straight to Nightwing (such as let's say, in place of Azriel from the comics). It's a little tricky and I guess far-fetched, but I think it could work.

[returntovoid]

I don't think Batman should die in BB3, that will just turn it into a Oscar-bait film.

[CJ]

This thread should've been locked after the first post.

[CaptainClown]

batman really should die....it makes the most sense.........

ha

[Fresh Prince]

Batman cannot die. He is BATMAN! He suppose to live forever and ever.

[Littledragon]

Why would Batman die??????? Gimick. Marvel's gonna die after Disney gets through with them, it would be dumb for WB or DC to kill off Batman.

[Fresh Prince]

Marvel is not gonna die by Disney. If anything Disney will help them out big time.

[Carnotaur3]

The only way I see that Batman's death could work thematically to its full effect is this:

The film opens with Batman unable to save a boy's family, Dick Grayson. Bruce, feeling just as he did when his parents were murdered, helpless and unable to prevent death, takes the young boy under his care. He connects with Dick, they share a father/son relationship. Toward the end of the film, Bruce is up against someone possibly smarter than himself. Knowing the outcome could mean certain death for him, Bruce leaves a message for Dick.

Batman does die. The city realizes the wrong they were in. And Dick is encouraged, through Bruce's letters, to continue Batman's crusade. Because corruption never dies. The war is never over as long as evil still exists.

And that's the end of the film and the Nolan series.
