The Dark Knight Rises As for the end of the third (and maybe the last) movie...

michael bay is a cheese-meister. if he was in charge of a Batman film i think i would be begging for shumacher

 

[Darknightnomis]

This was what I was trying to show earleir as the last scene at the end of the third movie.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

yea i think if the third films theme is redemption a iconic shot of Batman over-looking his city with the Bat signal emblazoned in the sky would be a perfect way to end the trilogy.

I agree.

For the love of all that's Batman and related characters....Please do not let Michael Bay anywhere near the next (or any) Batman movie.

Don't even let him buy tickets to go see it.

Or we will be back in another Shcumacher type Batman movie era of too loud, too colorful and too many stupid ideas thrown in the movie just for the sake of doing so, with him thinking that is how a "funny book" movie is supposed to be made.

I had to go to 8 years of intense Batman inspired thearpy consisting of reading all the best of Batman graphic novels andseeing 'Batman Begins' 10 times on the big screen to completley get over 'Batman and Robin'.

I...I just can't go though that again.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

agreed. i can picture it now, a slow, over-dramatic swooping shot of the American flag fluttering in the wind, accompanied by some god-awful attempt at epic music. then suddenly a huge fireball rises into the air and Batman leaps out of it.

Yeah, and this is me the very next day back in therapy...

...The horror...the horror...the horror...

 

[Darkknight14]

I agree with most of everything. The cave, the mansion, batman restored as Gotham's hero...the hero they deserve. Hinting at Robin in some form or another would be cool....doubtful...but as long as they went into it verrrrrrry carefully and took Robin in the right way...it could work. I would like to see Robin done properly one day...I just don't know how that will ever work. So for now, just basically Batman as Gotham's loner hero. And a cameo by Ledger Joker...alas....

 

[Ace of Knaves]

IMO the best way to work Robin or Nightwing into Nolans Bat-verse would be to just have him as some other mysterious vigilante in Gotham who is more violent and reckless than Batman. Batman is at a drug deal one night and is about to break it up when this other vigilante appears out of no where and starts obliterating the gangsters in a brutal fashion. Batman stops him and nearly comes to blows with this youngster. he sees a lot of potential in him but is wary of his violent streak, so he tries to get to know him and help him focus his anger.

That should be Nightwing. Drop the Robin stuff for Dick Grayson.

Huntress would suit your idea better then him.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

yea maybe, but i've never been a big fan of Huntress. Shes just eye candy. And yea i prefer just having nightwing rather than robin.

 

[The Major]

yea maybe, but i've never been a big fan of Huntress. Shes just eye candy.

How much have you seen of her? I guarantee you there is more to Helena then eye candy.

And yea i prefer just having nightwing rather than robin.

Glad you agree.

 

[TimidationGame]

I would like to see two things and somehow tie in a good narative by Gordon again:1) Bruce looking at a Riddle about the Leagues new leader and impending return if he doesn't clean up Gotham...dropping it and looking at the batsuit and then a wide vista of Gotham and hearing sirens in the distance.2) (if the comic fans don't hate it) Selena looking at a pregnancy test...ok maybe not (it would get everyone talking at least about what it means)

 

[HereToComment27]

This was what I was trying to show earlier as the last scene at the end of the third movie.

That is an interesting scene, but I always pictured the end of this trilogy as a homage to the end of the original 1989 film, with Batman (redeemed as Gotham City’s true hero) standing atop a large skyscraper with the Batsignal present in the dark background sky and him look up slowly, with dramatic music and possibly a short narration. I always thought that would be cool, interesting.

Or, Batman could die saving Gotham and make the people realize that in there hatred for him, they realize that all along they needed him, and now he is gone, but will always remain in there hearts as the Dark Knight of Gotham City. Who knows, the limitations are practically limitless (oh, the irony)

Another possibility is have a set up for a fourth film (not sure how) but a cliff hanger that basically leads into another film, like BB and TDK have both done.

Again, the limitations are limitless, but however it turns out, I have trust and faith in Christopher Nolan that it will be breathtaking.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

if they don't re-cast Joker i think a good way to include him in some way could be the very last scene just before the credits role, leaving the door open for someone to continue where Nolan left off.

I can picture it perfectly in my head, Batman is redeemed after saving Gotham again, the Bat-signal is brought back and is shining triumphantly in the night sky. But instead of Batman on top of a skyscraper looking up at it what about a view from a cell window with a mysterious figures hands gripping the bars of the window, a quick almost horror-esque shot of their face, so quick infact its hard to make out who it is. then they slowly start laughing building up to a maniacal, gleeful, insane laughter that echos down the halls of Arkham. i dunno if i explained it well but in my head it seems perfect.

 

[nightwing666]

My view on a third film(or maybe final Bale film).Just focus on minor villians and more on Batman.Batman doesnt need to clear his name.Thats the point! Batman doesnt want anybody to put their life on the line but his. Now there wont be copycat batmen because who wants to idolise a "killer" and vigilante.Now the citys criminals are now even more frightened of Batman because they think he kills now not like in TDK.

Now Gordon and can work with Batman without people suspecting that he works with a vigilante because Gordon was the one that said Batman killed those cops and he smashed the batsignal...But Gordon has control now because he's commish and still has get the batsignal back at MCU or maybe hidden on top of a new police hq.

The more people Batman save word of mouth will get around that Batman might be helping the city but the criminals and most of Gotham will think he's a criminal so when people will see the batsignal some people will have hope (The people he saves) and most will fear (criminals)him.

So by the end on part 3 everything is like it is in the comics. The batsiginal shining.A new Batmobile.Built mansion.Fully formed Batcave.Maybe spair batsuits.A Bruce Wayne the has sunk deeper and more violent in the Batman persona.Arkham has to be up and running to house all the freaks that batman captures.Plus he's more of a detective and is at crimes scenes.

I love what Nolan has done with both these movies.I think he really Nolan wanted to do a trilogy in the first place because he never gave us everything upfront Like a cave and the detective side of him, heaps of costumed freaks.just little bits here and there in each movie so at the end of part 3 everything is like it is in the comics.A FULLY FORMED BATMAN IN A FULLY FORMED BATVERSE!!!!

Inside Arkham Asylum.

INT. The Riddler’s Celt

RIDDLER
Riddle me this… riddle me…that…I know… who’s the man… behind the bat….hahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

EXT. The Riddler’s Celt

Batman and Gordon looking behind the glass of the door

GORDON
Will that be trouble for you?

BATMAN
I know people like him, Jim, he wants to keep that to himself, to know he’s the only one that knows the answer to the biggest riddle in Gotham City…

GORDON
If you can, take a look to the sky in the morning…

BATMAN
Anything new?

GORDON
Just something I want you to see

BATMAN
No more freaks running around?

GORDON
Well, the Cat-woman is still at large…

BATMAN
She will be no trouble… how about the Joker, knowing that freak I am sure he will try to escape…

GORDON
His last therapist went to live to San Francisco, that poor man ended up really bad… but this girl wants the job, Harleen Quinzelle, I’m sure she can handle him…

BATMAN
How ‘bout the mob?



GORDON
With Maroni and Sofia Falcone death there’s nothing much to tell… the city I am safe to tell… it’s quite peaceful now…

BATMAN
I’m happy to hear that

GORDON
Well, my friend, I got to go… my wife’s waiting

He looks at his watch, and looks to Batman again. He’s not there

GORDON
Goodnight my friend…

Cut to.

Gotham City East End

EXT. Selina Kyle’s penthouse. Night

The Cat-Woman’s sitting on the edge of the rooftop, Mask less.

CATWOMAN
This is not the Gotham Central Building

The Batman emerges from the shadows.

BATMAN
And this is not two hours ago, Selina…

She stands up and looks at Batman

CATWOMAN
Needed to tell me something?

BATMAN
I thought you should know… The Riddler knows who you are…

CATWOMAN
The hell with that… he’s just some weird freak who likes green too much

BATMAN
He might try to blackmail you…



CATWOMAN
Just say it Bruce… you want me to call you back, come on, just give yourself a chance (she puts her arms around Batman)

BATMAN
Selina…

CATWOMAN
How ‘bout just having a normal life, far away from Gotham, far away from, freaks, and even maybe, without masks…

They kiss.

BATMAN
Take care, Selina, the east is dangerous…

CATWOMAN
I am a big girl, Bruce, I can take care of myself…

BATMAN
I’ll see you next…

CATWOMAN
You’ll be hearing a lot from me…

She walks to the edge of the building

Batman walks to her, grabs her from the arm and kisses her again.

CATWOMAN
Wow… you can never get enough, take care, Bruce…

BATMAN
Goodbye, Selina

She jumps from the building

The Batman jumps back

VOICE OFF (BATMAN)
I made a promise….

EXT. Gotham Streets. Batman Running

VOICE OFF (BATMAN)
To my parents…

Batman jumps from a building

VOICE OFF (BATMAN)
That I would…

Batman running through the emergency stairs of a building

VOICE OFF (BATMAN)
Rid the city of the evil that took their lives

Batman standing on the rooftop of a tall building. The dawn rises.

VOICE OFF (BATMAN)
This is my city, where I was born, twice, and where I’ll probably die, alone or not… I’m Batman…

The red clouds of the dawn take the shape of a bat, the bat signal rises again.

THE END.


BATMAN III

that was a great read Elgato, thank you. I'll repost my idea: Here's how I see the third film ending: Bruce Wayne at his parent's grave (isn't it about time we see this?), saying he hopes they're proud of the choice heS made, and that he'll try his best to keep his promise. As he walks away into the sunset (cliche I know but I don't care), the camera slowly goes down, to reveal that his shadow is, in fact, the shadow of his alter ego (hence the title of the movie: Batman: Shadow of the bat.


(and yes, this is almost exactly the end of an episode of TAS, but I don't really care, I think it would look great).

That's the perfect epic end for a perfect epic movie

 

[scatterax]

to bad if nolan tried it he'd try and make it more realistic some how. but all in all good ending.

 

[zman]

That's the perfect epic end for a perfect epic movie

why thank you sir! and I believe this scene is taken from the first TAS episode that features the scarecrow. I forget the name of said episode though.

 

[Grommers]

Theres many ways Nolan (provided he signs on ) could end the third movie.


Do you want it to end with Batman succeeding? saving gotham? Obviously this couldn't happen with the comics, but this is quite a possibility for movies, as there would be no continuation, etc, and everyones made it quite clear they'd rather a reboot after the third movie (unless nolan would do a 4th/5th etc)

If it is a trilogy, how would it end....in someways i want closure..

 

[TheDarkKnight08]

Gotham loves Batman again, but Bruce Wayne realized that Gotham is no longer worth saving, and that he's going to do this for the rest of his life.

 

[metalhead_dave]

These words have been echoed by tons of people but I feel Batman 3 should end with Batman being fully evolved into the legend we know and love. Gotham finally grudgingly accepts him as their hero(though no Gossip Gerties confidently yelling out "Batman and Robin protect us") and Batman accepts his responsibility as protector of Gotham, even if he can't be the savior.

 

[DeGenerate10]

I don't want it to end.
