The Dark Knight Rises Reese in the third film?

[COMPO]

Yeah i would totally have him killed but like in war games have him being tortured by someone mysterious like we never see who does it and it turns out its Black Mask or someone. I'd have the police looking for them and have him hiding out in metropolis and Batman who has put him in a safehouse there has to move him somewhere else but he's been spotted in suicide slum by a mobster with connections to Gotham. He's killed and tortured by someone unidentified and Batman gets the blame.

 

[Nirvana]

I like the idea of Reese just apologizing and that being the end of it. I see no need for another subplot involving him.

 

[RedHood55]

Perhaps Reese could also be an allie of Batman similar to that of Lucious Fox. He could take part in supplying and designing gadgets for batman. Maybe a new vehicle that has a much more stealth and sleeker look than the tumbler. He pretty much owes Bruce Wayne for saving his ass from getting his face blown off or just all out killed by the citzens of Gotham.

Maybe he could help Lucius hide the paper trail since he's their accountant. He could always just assure anyone who asks that there have been no strange purchases lately nor is there money missing from the company accounts. First he would have to publicly retract his claim that he knew who Batman was, though.

There's two things that I'd want...
A) for him to not even be included

or

B) to end up dying


Less people that know who batman really is, the better.

It seems that world is closing. Rachel knows his identity and she died. Alfred and Fox know Wayne's identity. Tick Tock, Tick Tock.

What if somewhere in the beginning of the movie Gordon says to Batman
"We found Coleman Reese's body floating up the river this morning. The odd thing tho, was the letter that was nailed to his chest. On it was a question mark written in his own blood and in it was a note that had...a riddle"

p.s. For those of you that keep bringing up Mr.Reese=Mysteries=The Riddler, STOP! The reason that Nolan had written for COLEMAN Reese to have that last name in particular was because of the TDK ad with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The name is just a coincidence and there is no conection between Coleman and Eddie. Eventhough I also thought of him working for The Riddler, but that would lead back to the "Who is Batman" thing and we don't need a Scumacher re-take. Before Scumacher, The Riddler didn't care about who Batman was...Still, Reese should die, I don't want him stinking up the third film.

 

[Ledlunar]

Except he's a ginormous loose end. He knows who Batman is, and everyone in Gotham knows he knows. He's going to be a prime target for everyone in the next film. Batman is on the run, so the GCPD is going to come for him, as will the villain (Riddler?) who will certainly be looking for Batman's identity. Although I agree it's not really necessary to include the character again, they've got to say something about him.

In my senseless brain you hit the nail on the head... Im not actually senseless though..

right when TDK ended I thought well looks like Reese is going to have to keep running now, Cause if Gothams citizens and police believe Batman killed the "5 cops" and Harvey and I guess Maroni and what not. everyone in the city will want Batmans head... and the WHOLE ENTIRE city knows like you said that Reese knows.... so If it isnt followed up it will make every one in Gotham seem like idiots....

this is nothing like Mr Earle, considering the knowledge Reese has and how TDK ended... fantastic ending ending on a depressing down note like Back to the future 2 or empire strikes back ending

 

[margon]

his face isn't memorable enough to bring him back for the next film, you'd have to re-explain him all over again and that takes precious time which you might have noticed Nolan is pretty spare with. Friggin SCARECROW got like 30 seconds coming back. I bet my cock Reese will disappear without a mention

 

[COMPO]

I'd imagine that there'd be a scene like in War Games: Act One where scarface and other gangs going after Darla Aquista. I mean, like having Gotham's gangs going after Reese as the Police take him into a custody questioning about batman after finding him.

 

[chamber-music]

Have Reese tortured and killed for information by the next villain. Also have Earle comeback as a villain out for revenge against Bruce. He could be Nolans Max Shreck.

 

[COMPO]

yeah i liked max shrek, I'd say he was more the main villain of Batman returns manilpulating penguin and creating catwoman. Would be cool though a big mob battle as they all try to kidnap Reese for info.

 

[Hellrider]

He could become Riddler (I'd hate that but thats what I though when watching TDK)

Thats what i think too...Instead of yusing Edward Nigma -Enigma... He uses Mr. Reese-Mysteries.

Disagree entirely. His character needs no more reintroduction than Rachel's did, which was pretty much none. They just picked up where they left off.

 

[Anjow1060]

there's no real reason. Besides, there's hundreds of other Bat-mythos characters Nolan could shine a little light on instead of re-hashing him.

Or even better, now which rachel and even reese out of the mix, I could very well see Nolan incorporating a brand new original character, villain, hero, w/e - into the next film. Some kind of wild card. It's certainly a head scratcher for us seeing as we don't have any insight to his original characters and it keeps us guessing as to what they'll do next - as opposed to mythos characters whom we understand very well.

idk, I just thing him incorporating new original characters makes it a little more fun for us.

Mr. Reese / Mysteries / Mr. E / Mr. Edward Nigma . Everyone always laughs off this suggestion.

But it always seemed to be more than just a coincidence to me. Oh well, who knows.

 

[margon]

Disagree entirely. His character needs no more reintroduction than Rachel's did, which was pretty much none. They just picked up where they left off.

Rachel was a major supporting character who appeared throughout the film and had an ongoing impact on Bruce actions. Reese appeared in a couple of scenes and most people in the audience didn't even catch his name. He had no face time with Batman or Bruce Wayne. These are very important differences. Why couldn't you realise them for yourself? Come back to me when your brain is awake please

 

[Rattlehead]

I remember a lot of speculation that Reese was meant to be the Riddler (Mr. Reese, mysteries) as stated above. I hope they don't actually make him be the Riddler later because it would be stupid, but I think they should make a way for this character to return, if only to tie up the loose ends. Having him get murdered would be a good idea.

 

[Laderlappen]

Everybody thought Mike Engel was gonna be the riddler because he had 'enigma' in his name. Now when he turned out to not be an important character, the same idiots have now picked an other character for the same reasons. SOmething to do with the name. The same morons that thinks the bank manager, Rachel Dawes, James Gordon Jr., Bruce girlfriend at the party, Maronis mistress, Deeboo, Earle, that one kid, & that one guy will become another character than the ones they are playing.

And Coleman Reese = Coldman Freeze. He's so playing Mr Freeze. Joker DID hint the character when he said 'even for a guy like me thats cold'.

 

[scifiwolf]

Reading through the thread, I'd have to say that Reese's role has been served. The subtle exchange between him and Bruce was enough to close that little arc. Granted, he's claimed to know Batman's identity, I don't see a need to purse that in the third film. However, if the Nolans were to do so, I think they have enough talent to do it without it feeling like the character was forced into the movie.

 

[GregComicFan]

I dont think we will see him in Batman 3. Of all the minor minor characters introduced in TDK, I expect we will see The Mayor and Officer Ramirez (the female cop) and the big cop (The guy who looked so much like Harvey Bullock)..... but Reese will be a no show in Batman 3.

hahaah! brilliant. yeh i recall the days of "OMG Farmer Ted =Teh Riddlerz".especially when they released a publicity photo of him with some smug arched eyebrow look on his face. I guess we can blame Hall himself partly for that, because he was the one who called his role a 200 million dollar surprise. Talk about delusions of grandeur.

 

[Laderlappen]

He never said his role was a 200M$ suprise. He said something like 'I dont wanna be the guy who ruins the a 200M$ surprise' obviously speaking of the movie and not his character since no character costs a movie 200M$. Then the media and the fans made that out to be a much bigger thing than it was.
