There are plenty of great trilogies...
The Godfather Toy Story Star Wars Episodes 4-6 Back to the Future The Bourne Trilogy Lord of the Rings I doubt we have anything to worry about. Seriously. Nolan is a talented filmmaker, the script is strong, and there's a great cast involved in the project. Besides, the approach that Nolan takes to the Batman films makes it less likely this film will fail. If anything, we should worry about the 4th film... What director might destroy the franchise? |

But Nolan's TDKR won't be going through the mistakes that other third films went through. That's almost a guarantee right there that Nolan's Batman trilogy will become the best CBM trilogy by having great 1st, 2nd and 3rd acts.

I hope it does. Nolan makes great movies. Don't know why he'd start flopping now.

Well when you look at the previous franchises that fell victim; we never saw it coming, at least not from the outset.

If the expectations are raised & the 3rd one falls short, fans will attack and condemn it relentlessly.

At the same time, I think there is an understanding setting in that this will not surpass the hype of the second film already. The title sucks still.

I've decide recently to stop this kind of thinking. I'm just going to go into the movie with no expectations. By getting your hopes WAY up you're setting yourself up for disappointment.
If the movie is "just" as good as the first one, I'd be perfectly happy. |

I think it's going to have a hard job surpassing TDK but am hopeful that Nolan is going to deliver an awesome movie to end his trilogy - don't know a great deal about Bane so am not quite as excited about that as I was on hearing Joker was going to be in TDK.

I think it will but I'm worried cause the trailer was poor in my opinion.

I think it's inevitable that the third film will be a step down. The Dark Knight was so praised both critically and financially and is considered one of the greatest superhero films ever,that any movie following it will be looked at as inferior,no matter how good it may turn out to be.

Godfather - third movie is considered significantly weaker than first 2; hardly escapes the 3rd act curse Toy Story - yes, a truly fantastic trilogy that gets better with each movie Star Wars - see Toy Story Back to the Future - a good trilogy, but the sequels are notable steps down from the first. Bourne - solid trilogy, gets better with each film LOTR - perfect trilogy, but really just one long film split into three portions

I am still puzzled as to how the "second act" is so revered.

And you know why that is? No studio interference. Spiderman 3 sucked because there where too many people in the kitchen.

A big reason I'm not concerned about this film suffering from the 3rd movie curse is I feel Nolan has been improving steadily with each film. As in, regardless of which is your favorite, I think in each film he's made since Memento, there's at least one area that he expands on or shows a marked improvement in.
At the same time, he's maintained a consistency and familiar quality about his work (which comes along with working with the same crew, writing and writing with Jonah, etc.) where he's established himself as an auteur. So with that, I present my 8 reasons (one for each year that's passed since TDK ![]()

I fear Nolan may just want to remake the success and hence create another clumsy mess. Except this time it won't be tied down to any outstanding performance. I swear, if people start saying that this film ruined the trilogy... I'll scream! |

For me, it's the main one. It's all planned in 3 parts. That changes everything. Because for part three, most of stories claim for and ending or some kind of change. You were talking about Spider-man 3. To me, Venom or not, the problem was that they had to do something more extreme but at the same time they had to be thinking in leaving stuff for the fourth movie. That's how there's a convulted Peter-Mary Jane arc there, but in the end they end up without much change. |

So in short, you're absolutely right that you can't do a third/ending movie justice if there are plans in place to make more movies. |

I am hoping this can, reason to worry
1. Too many new characters 2. Tooo much hype from TDK people will expect this film to be better 4. Bane's dialog 5. Catwoman could be bad, Nolan is not the best at writing woman charaters 6. The ending could be bad 7. Too much in one film so the film will fill rushed. |

Seeing Selina's costume doesn't raise my hopes.

Bad approach to the costume almost always goes hand in hand with a bad approach to the film.
