The Dark Knight Rises If there is going to be a third movie

[Conan_O'Brien]

then it needs to teach a lesson or have a moral like the first two.

Batman Begins: Bruce deciding how to deal with criminals... to execute like Ra's al ghul or give justice and not kill them.

The Dark Knight: (from what I've heard) Bruce learning that he can't live a normal life and needs to accept that Batman will always be seen as a vigilante.

now the third?

I think the third has to be one that will give Batman closure... that will make him look like a legend since this is the last one.

 

[Buttons]

Since i want a black mask character i think confronting his past once again and for the last time?

Reveal that it wasn't Joe Chill who killed Bruce's parents! It was actually Riddler in disguise!

Ya right lol

Isn't that too similar to Spiderman 3, when it was revealed that Sandman was actually Uncle Ben's murderer.

Spoiler

A third movie would serve no necessary purpose Batman has lost the love of his life, Harvey Dent's image will remain as the last hope for Gotham. Batman is viewed as a vigilante, and is now alone fighting an impossible fight. It could end just with The Dark Knight, because in the end Batman's fight will never be finished.

+1 for me

Sarcasm isn't your strong suit, is it?

Anyway, Spider-Man 3 stole the idea from - guess who! - Batman.

What Batman comic book did something like that happen in?

Not what comic, what movie

Batman '89 with The Joker as the one who killed Bruce's parents

 

[Eddie Brock]

Which, admittedly, wasn't as big a deal as Sandman killing Uncle Ben. The Joker killing Bruce's parents really only served as a WTF? moment. Sandman killing Uncle Ben essentially invalidated Spider-Man's entire existence. But that's neither here nor there.

I really don't think Nolan should reveal someone else to be Batman's parents killer in the third film, it's just wrong and unfaithful to the comic books.

Again - sarcasm isn't your strong suit.

 

[ross2287]

Batman needs to save Barack Obama in the next one, that way he can get his credibility back.

After TDK's ending? Easy: Redemption.

 

[tdeverea]

After TDK's ending? Easy: Redemption.

Some (or most) would disagree but Robin would work well in the "redemption" theme. Although, society would still view Batman as heartless for putting a young man in danger...

Anyway, I believe Nolan and Co. could write a great story with Robin without making it corny. The "boy wonder" (as long as they never use that nickname) would fit well in this vision of Gotham as long as they gave him real purpose. Robin would want revenge and death to those who killed his parents and Bruce could show him the error of his ways.

With ALL that being said, it'll be hard to top The Dark Knight. It was incredibly nuanced, well-written, perfectly executed on all fronts.

 

[Gianakin_]

A good, if not better, 3rd film can be done. Not easily, but it's feasible. The key thing is to do what they did with TDK: not repeat themselves. If they do that, we'll most likely get another gem of a film.

As for Robin? If they include him, fine. If they don't, fine.

If there is going to be a third movie? I thought both Bale and Oldman signed for 3 movies.

 

[spiderfan970]

Yeah but do we want a third one now? I think the only way I'd be 100% ready for a third batman movie is there was a guarantee that heath ledger's joker would be in that movie. As of now I am incredibly skeptical of a third one, this is a pretty good ending to what was started with the first movie.

 

[OwlBoy]

Its not up to us, the contracts for all the major characters have them up for three movies. Its up to the Nolans and Goyer to come up with a good story.

 

[Sawyer]

3rd movies are murky waters. Lets face facts here, there has never been a great 3rd movie. I thought X3 was alright, nothing special, but everyone tended to hate it. Spider-Man 3 had its moments, but overall I didnt particularly care for it. Batman Forever was fun IMO, but not good. Supermam III, I never saw. Blade 3...I've heard enough to avoid watching.

Hopefully, if anyone can stop the terrible-ness of the "third movie," its Nolan.

The question shouldn't be 'do we want a third film?', the question should be 'do we need a third film?'. After viewing the film twice now I'm convinced that the series as it is at the moment has enough of a conclusion to end the story here an now so personally, i don't think a third film is needed, but I wouldn't complain if we got another one from Nolan and Co. t:

While TDK would be a great place to conclude, I think that Gotham needs to see Batman redeem himself in a third. I just hope that Nolan can make it great.

Hell yes. After the way TDK ended, I need BB3 more than I needed TDK after BB ended.
