Well, what I actually meant to ask is has Nolan said that he'll definitely direct the third one. And I believe I heard somewhere that Bale did sign on for three films, therefore he would be in breach of contract if he decided not to do a third one. To be honest, after watching Michael Shannen in Revolutionary Road, I realized that he is basically The Joker. The one that Ledger portrayed, anyway. It's as if Ledger acted the way that Shannen is in real like. Watch the movie, which isn't that great, but his performance does honestly make it worthwhile. He's the only person that I've seen so far that I think could reprise that role. I've heard that Depp is interested. And yes, I'm a huge fan of him, but I'm tired of people acting as if he can pull off anything. I just don't see him in that role. The Riddler possibly, but not the Joker. If he were going to do that, then he should have played him from the start. His own way. It's just so awful that they ended TDK the way that they did. Looking as if more or less they would have to bring back the Joker. I loved the film, but honestly, I thought it ended rather strange. You should always end a movie with an ENDING. Because something could happen, such as Heath's in this case, that could prevent there from being a third film. It's such a shame that they ended it that way, because now they pretty much have to bring him back. A cameo atleast. But, I do wish you friends would check out Michael Shannen in Revolutionary Road and tell me what you think. His actions, the way he moves his mouth, the way he crosses his legs, smokes his cigarette, talks... Even the looks that he gives. He is what Ledger acted to be. It's amazing really, I almost fainted when I saw it. He's the only one that gives me hope. But honestly, if Bale, Nolan, Freeman, Caine, and the rest of the gang do not return. I do not want there to be another film. It will be just like last time. We got Shumacher, bat-nipples, bat-skates, and Arnold. If they make another one without everyone that was on board for the last two, I'll honestly believe that history does repeat itself. Who agrees?
