The Dark Knight Rises How do you want the 3rd film to end?

[MrP3118]

I personally hope they introduce Talia in the third film and at the end she tells Bruce that she would love for him to meet her father. Opens door to House and there is RAS.

 

[Victarion]

A very good thread, and a topic to contemplate on.

Perhaps at the end of BB3, Bruce could deliver a monologue about there being "an end in sight", and DC could start putting out comics that stick with the universe Nolan has created. Or Jim and Bats could be discussing a new antagonist. Nothing that's meant to be a cliffhanger, just to show the audience that Batman's crusade is ongoing.

I want Batman by the end of the third to be full on Batman, asskicker and world's greatest detective, as well as having an actual type of "Batmobile". I want it to end so if they wanted to get a new director to keep going with it, Batman's history and beginning with his war on crime has been told and the new director can just add more stories to the film mythos.

I don't want them to keep going with it though. I think every movie series should end with you wanting more, but it's up to the viewer of what he believes is going to happen. With Batman there can never be an ending. I think it strictly should stay to three movies. By the time 4th 5th and 6th comes the same actors will simply not be there. Three great movies is enough for me. The mediocreness of the next movies would just leave a bad taste in the publics mouth.

It's probably too corny and cliche for Nolan to do, but I'd love some kind of big, epic montage to close the film, cycling through the formiddable ensemble of characters we've grown to care about over 3 films. And the very last image of the film could be Bruce Wayne at the graves of his parents.

That sounds like the series finale of a sitcom, not a good, serious film.

 

[The Only Woj]

with a short video of Bale and Nolan signing contracts to return for at least another 3 Batman movies.

That sounds like the series finale of a sitcom, not a good, serious film.

It can work in films too. The idea probably came to me because I've just recently rewatched "Lantana", an Australian drama which used this device to great effect. It's not that I'm unsure it can work in a "good, serious film". I just don't know if it could work in a superhero film.

But even without the montage, I still like the idea of the closing scene being Bruce Wayne at his parents' grave, or something similarly personal. I always think it's great when big, epic movies end on a small, emotionally-driven level rather than with the BAM! POW! KABOOM! out with a bang you might expect.

Though if we have one of those endings, I don't think I'd object...

With a hint at Dick Grayson and the ongoing of Batman's crusade.

[Obsidian]

The ongoing of Batman's crusade like Robin said

 

[Mr. Socko]

The third film wouldn't end on a cliffhanger if it's the finish of Nolan's trilogy.

 

[Brendan]

It ends with Jim and Batman discussing a certain man of steel in Metropolis who needs a good ass whooping.

 

[GregComicFan]

The way I see it, there's 3 ways Nolan's Batman films could end:

1. Nolan concludes his "theme": Kinda like how each Spiderman film tackled a variation of "with great power comes great responsibility", each of Nolan's Batman films is going to be built upon a theme (Batman Begins was all about "fear" and "purging fears". The Dark Knight is supposedly about "escalation" and Batman "losing himself to this monster he's created")....Nolan could have an over-all theme, which binds all three films together, and by concluding what he wants to say on the overarching theme could be a way Nolan could end his Batman trilogy.

2. A New Beginning: Like another poster wrote, Nolan's Batman "began" in Batman Begins, he perhaps "learns" in The Dark Knight, and perhaps he shall become "fully realized" in the third film. What I mean is Batman becomes the Batman we all know and love: he's full on badass, full on detective, full on amazing....he's not a rookie anymore....it's his third year, he's a pro, he's got Gotham on lock-down, he "cleaned up the streets". So the third film could end with Batman's success at "bringing Gotham back". If that happens, Batman 3 could end with Nolan ending the film with a new beginning, meaning Batman now has a new task, a new challenge, and the film ends with Batman realizing this and realizing "the battle continues", the film fades out, and thus ends Nolan's trilogy. The MOST OBVIOUS way Nolan can do this is by introducing Dick Grayson in the middle of the third Batman film and having the film end with Bruce realizing "Grayson will be trained, Grayson will be like me, he will be my protege" So Batman's story is somewhat fulfilled, but now he's taken on the task of training a partner, thus the film ends (Batman's a surrogate father....Dick is now the focus)

3. Warner Bros leaves it open for more sequels: Let's say The Dark Knight is a box office smash and Batman 3 earns even more money, you can bet Warner Bros is going to go the way of Spiderman and consider recasting everybody and keeping the series going with a new crew, or paying the actors and the crew a truck load of cash to keep the series going for a part 4, 5, 6 and so on. So that means Nolan's Batman 3 could end with NO DEFINITIVE CONCLUSION, meaning the film just ends....and it's left open for the Riddler to show up in part 4, Scarface in 5, and so on.


and that's the way I see it.

[Gotham22]

Batman on the rooftop of a building looking down on the city.

 

[Cyrusbales]

Death of batman. at the hands of the riddler in some way, but leave the riddler at the end with a bat related puzzle, dum dum dum!

 

[money]

Bruce is moping in the Batacave when Alfred enters and says: "I thought you could use a little company,sir." Then Alfred whistles and a Labrador runs into the cave and jumps onto Bruce, licking his face. Bruce grins and says: "Aww he's cute. I think i'll call him....... Robin!!!. The music swells as Alfred replies "Very good, sir. Very good indeed." Then it ends with a freeze frame of Alfred smiling, tearful face.

Lets end on a positive note!!t: t: t:

[Blader5489]

Joker makes the chess piece move.

Oh wait...

 

[Antithesis_SD]

I hope it ends similar to Batman: Fear Itself. If anyone has read the book, they'll know what I mean.

 

[Darkness Falls]

Batman Vs two-face VS joker

 

[elgato]

selina removes her mask costume puts on something that makes her look hot, and looks up the sky, watching the bat-signal
saying: "almost got 'im"

 

[Milu]

Batman looking at the bat-signal on top of a skyscraper.

 

[mrsparkle]

Instead of batman gliding into the camera have him falling from a rooftop taking the joker/twoface with him.

 

[Laderlappen]

When the Joker gets killed Batman gets possesed by Joker's soul! Where's Rachel?? Hehehe! WHERE'S RACHEL?? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! HAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! -> credits.

or

It's night. Bruce is in his bedroom. Looking over the town thru his big-ass window. The camera shows his back. Camera cuts to the other side of the window. Showing bruce faceand upperbody. He's barechested. Showing the city in a reflection in the window. Selina comes from behind in a nightgown. Holds him close. The look at eachother. They smile at eachother. Cuts back from the room. Cuts back behind the window again. They look back on the town. Few seconds go by. Then you see the batsignal in the reflection in the window. -> credits.

Maybe too corny. I dunno.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I'd like to see them take the approach of the third one being about batman trying to of two-face from himself, with a sort of mirror story of batman owns development of some kind.
