The Dark Knight Rises My idea for a third Batman movie

[bkey]

I'm currently working on writing a screenplay for a third Batman movie, just for fun of it. I'm assuming that

Spoiler

at the end of TDK the Joker has been apprended, Rachel is dead, Two Face is alive and free, and Gordon has been promoted to Commissioner.

The story takes place about two months after the events of TDK. The story line is a little weak when I was writing about Two Face, but other than that I think its good. Please read and let me know what yal think.

Shadow of the Bat

Two Face (Harvey Dent) returns in a dramatic and twisted role. His sole purpose is revenge on Batman, who he feels was partly responsible for his scarring and for not being able to save Rachel. He brutally murders cops and other in Gotham, seeking revenge, but also spares many. His decisions are based entirely on the flip of his coin. Half of the time the audience hates him, the other half they sympathize with him. The first scene of the movie is of Two Face mourning at the tombstone of Rachel Dawes in the pouring rain.
Roman Sionis, the CEO of Janus Cosmetics, a rival company of Wayne Enterprises goes crazy after an unfortunate series of events. He strikes a deal with rising kingpin Arnold Wesker, which goes bad and leaves his company nearly bankrupt. Janus Cosmetics is then bought by and merged with Wayne Enterprises, causing Sionis’ estranged and power-hungry fiancé, Circe, to break up with him. He first goes after Wesker, who he finds executing a man under the orders of a ventriloquist puppet controlled by Wesker himself. After disposing of Wesker, Sionis confronts Circe, threatening her, trying to get her to come back to him. She refuses, and in complete despair shoots and kills herself in front of him. This act completely drives him over the edge, and he begins kidnapping and torturing Wayne Enterprises employees, committing all of his crimes while wearing a black mask.
Selina Kyle is a prostitute who Bruce Wayne encounters while he is on watch in the narrows. He feels sorry for her, and as Bruce Wayne puts her and her roommate Holly Robinson up in a penthouse suite in the heart of Gotham City. Both Holly and Selina share a love of cats, and they have several in their home, which they take to their new suite. Wayne and Kyle’s relationship begins to grow, and the two become very close to one another. However, as Bruce Wayne becomes more and more infatuated and frustrated over the crimes of Two Face and Sionis (known to the cops as “Black Mask”) he begins pushing those who he cares about farther and farther away- specifically Selina Kyle and his butler, Alfred, later even Commissioner Gordon. He spends most of his time on the streets of Gotham fighting crime and in the Batman, and Bruce Wayne becomes almost nonexistent.
Commissioner Gordon and newly appointed District Attorney Janice Porter work hard to stop the crimes of Two Face. Gordon leads a police raid against the supposed hide out of Two Face, but is thwarted and almost killed. Gordon’s work, as well as his relationship with Batman, causes friction between him and his wife, Barbara.
Two Face, obsessed with revenge towards Batman, begins stalking him, and starts to recognize a direct relationship with Bruce Wayne. He also realizes that there is a relationship between Wayne and Selina Kyle.
In his anger against Wayne Enterprises, Sionis kidnaps CEO Lucius Fox and holds him hostage, as well as other Wayne Enterprises employees in an abandoned Janus Cosmetics warehouse. Batman is able to rescue Fox and the other employees, despite the crazed Sionis catching the building on fire. Batman and Sionis fight in the inferno, and ultimately, Sionis falls to his death, his skin burning and his face becoming a permanent black mask.
Alfred is able to persuade Bruce that being Batman is not everything. He reminds him of Selina, who has now almost completely given up on her almost romance-to-be with Bruce Wayne.
In a plot to destroy Batman, Two Face breaks in to the suite of Selina and Holly to kidnap Selina. He hopes that this will draw the attention of Bruce Wayne, who will in turn get Batman to rescue her, not knowing that Wayne is indeed Batman. However, Selina is not there so Two Face goes after the next best thing: Holly. He ties her to a chair, in preparation to torture her right as Selina comes in. She is extremely agile and is able to save Holly, and both manage to escape. Not knowing where to turn, the two women go to Wayne Manor in hopes that Bruce will let them stay there. That night, Batman goes after Two Face and encounters him at a construction site. He has Gordon and a police backup team hiding in the shadows. The two fight but Two Face manages to shoot Batman, causing him to fall to the ground. His decision to kill or spare Batman is based on his coin toss. He flips, but as he does Gordon and his men rush in and apprehend Two Face. The coin lands on the side intended for sparing Batman’s life.
Bruce recovers from his bullet wound, and begins pursuing a relationship with Selena Kyle once again.
Two Face is taken to Arkham Asylum, now run by psychiatrist Dr. Harleen Quinzel. As he sits in his cell, Dr. Quinzel talks with the Joker, who is bound by a straight jacket, in a holding room.
In the last scene of the movie, Batman is seen taking down some thugs in the narrows. In the shadows, a cat-like woman lurks, watching him.

I guess some themes would be dual/split personalities, separation, and Batman/Bruce's struggle to maintain his identity.

[FONT=&quot]It’s been a few months after the events of The Dark Knight. Joker has been captured and placed in Arkham Asylum, Rachel Dawes has been killed by The Joker, and Bruce Wayne is now in a situation of mourning over her loose. Two-Face is on the loose as a common criminal. He often works alongside Carmine Falcone, who has recently come out of his state of insanity and is now at large in Gotham again. On the other end of the spectrum we have Sal Maroni, who is at the top of the mob list for scarring Harvey Dent. But now he has to constantly be on his guard, for at any moment Two-Face could come for revenge! A previous love interest of Harvey Dent’s, Selina Kyle, has gone slightly insane after the scarring of her ex-lover. She no longer can stand Two-Face for his deformity! She now raises her hand against him as The Catwoman. Batman and Catwoman often run into each other, Catwoman doing evil deeds for the sole purpose of outdoing Two-Face’s mob. Batman stops her and convinces her to let Harvey go. Batman and Catwoman become lovers eventually, but neither of them knows the others true identity! At the same time Bruce and Selina are both lovers, not knowing that both are Batman and Catwoman! Did I happen to mention that Bruce Wayne’s mansion is finally completed and he and Alfred are back in it again? Well it is true. The Bat cave is now better than ever! For greater power reasons Two-Face murders Carmine Falcone right in public! He rubs the blood of Falcone all over his face, causing his scarred side to have a reddish tint to it. Two-Face then claims the leadership of the mob. Now he is competing personally with Maroni. For this film we go behind the scenes of Two-Face’s story showing what it actually did to his life, and why he went insane after the accident. We show the affect it had on everyone he knew. Near the end of the film Two-Face concocts a plan to kill Maroni, but this plan will also kill hundreds of other innocent people. He sets a bomb in the middle of Gotham, where Maroni is destined to be. Batman goes after the bomb to dismantle it and save the day, while Catwoman goes after Two-Face who is fleeing the scene. Batman stops the bomb then goes to help Catwoman. Meanwhile Two-Face fights Catwoman and manages to remove her mask. Two-Face then stabs her. She is destined to die! By this point Catwoman begins to have flashbacks of her and Harvey kissing under the moonlight. Her feelings tell her she still loves Harvey. But she is telling herself that she hates Two-Face! This mix of emotions drives her insane. Batman arrives to see Selina Kyle! Finally Selina lets herself love Harvey again. Then in her insane mind she puts Bruce to blame for bringing enmity between her and Harvey. Catwoman strikes at Batman with all of her rage and anger. Batman does what he must. He strikes her unconscious. Batman then looks at the knife in Two-Face’s hand, along with the blood on it. Then he looks at Catwoman with a knife mark in her side. Two-Face then grins and wipes the blood on the side of his face (applying a fresh coat of blood on the scar). Batman then attacks him with bat-weapons and brutally knocks him out. Two-Face is then sent to Arkham where he is placed in the same cell as Joker (just with a cage between them). Joker and Two-Face then plot their escape. Meanwhile Batman goes over to Catwoman to comfort her before she dies. Catwoman claws Batman’s face and yells at him. Batman backs away, and then removes his mask to reveal that he’s Bruce Wayne. Catwoman then falls into the deepest mix of insanity and depression knowing that she has been hurting Bruce. She then sticks a knife in herself to kill herself. Batman tries to stop her but is too late! Selina Kyle/Catwoman is dead.[/FONT]​

Maroni's gonna die in The Dark Knight. The Long Halloween is a source for TDK, but since Falcone won't die in the end, it's safe to assume Maroni will take his place. Besides, what better way to introduce Two-Face than have him kill Maroni?

I'm more for the Black Mask or the Great White Shark or maybe even Rupert Thorne to take control of the Gotham underworld in Batman 3.

He finds Wesker and his body guard Charles “Rhino” Daley in a back room, with another man tied up on the floor. Wesker has a ventriloquist puppet, called Scarface, which is ordering commands to Wesker to kill the man on the floor, despite his protests. In a very disturbing scene, Wesker shoots the whimpering man. At this time, Sionis comes in a shoots Rhino and Wesker, killing them both.

The Joker kidnaps Commissioner Gordon’s wife, Barbara, knowing that Batman will try to save her. He makes his crime very obvious, so that Batman can find out exactly where he is. When Batman arrives, the Joker shoots Barbara right in front of him (only paralyzing her), causing Batman to snap. Joker then sprays Batman with fear toxin, but it is useless, since he has been vaccinated against it. Batman then beats Joker to his death. He dies with a smile on his face.

Harleen Quinzel, still by far the worst name ever in comic character history.

 

[Orb]

Heres my:

After defeating the Joker and with Two-Face running lose, Gotham city is safer than before. But after seeing so many people die, pain caused to him, his parnents death, and the things Bruce does as the Batman starts to transforms him into a greedy jerk and abit violent.

With mobs growing bigger and stronger Joker escapes from Arkam takes his army and joins up with the new mob boss. Causing a war at Gotham. Now Bruce as to learn to work together with others defeat this new evil.

 

[jmc]

^ That kinda sounds like Spiderman 3

 

[Orb]

Oops. But still didn't Bruce ever act like that?

 

[RobC]

That is one of the worst stories i've ever read. It makes no sense, doesn't stick to the previous story styles, doesn't stick to any comic stories, has major plot holes and is basically not very good.

But worth an attempt.
