The Dark Knight Rises Exclusive: David Goyer says he knows theme for \'Batman 3\'!!!

[Marvolo]

Goyer gave us a hint:

"Interestingly, it’s the theme, and not the villain, that most interests me, especially given how the latter seems inexorably tied to the former in this new modern Batman universe. (Fear the predominant issue in “Begins” precipitating the introduction of Scarecrow, escalation in “Knight” similarly calling for The Joker."

It's a vague hint, but a hint. He said the villain will be tied to the theme, fear is predominant in Begins and Scarecrow uses fear, escalation is the theme of TDK and the Joker uses it or is created by it, and obviously we can guess that the theme for Batman 3 will be redemption. So which villain would tie into this idea of redemption? If it turns out Two-face isn't dead maybe his redemption will tie in with Batman's redemption. So maybe he is the villain. It could be someone else, though, because I don't know all of Batman's villains. It could also be someone who would lead to Batman's redemption. So whoever it is will tie into this redemption idea probably.

We are years away from having a finalized batman 3 script, anything that's been discussed at this point can disappear in a moment's notice. Goyer is probably just trying to build the hype machine that will create more buzz to get people to see TDK and look forward to another movie. This "interview" didn't really tell us THAT much which we didn't know already.

Well, hopefully this movie will be out in 3 years so at the most a script will be 1 to 2 years away. I don't want them to rush it, but they spent 3 years making TDK, and it turned out great so 3 years should be enough for Batman 3.

I have a feeling that the 3rd film will disappointing. In their efforts to top TDK they will make some irrational decision. Something maybe along the lines of Batman unmasking himself in public for a greater good. It may be heroic, but it will come off as really forced and way over the top. I just hope Nolan stays for one more and finds the right inspirations.

Considering the only mentioned fear once in TDK and nobody even talked about the Waynes, I doubt they're going to retread the "Batman unmasked" subplot.
