When I think "bridge" film I think of The Empire Strikes Back or Dead Man's Chest. A few things that could be carried over to BB3 would be the strain on Gordon and Batman's relationship:

Gordon: "If you're asking, 'Did the good guys win?' then yeah, we won."

Gordon looks up and sees Batman has gone.

Gordon: "But I won't know if it was worth if for a long time."

End the second movie on that, then develop the strain in BB3!

I would like to see Poison Ivy done properly.

Personally, I think Robin HAS to make an appearance in the third flick. And I think Nolan is the only director that can pull it off.

Not sure Ivy's manipulation of plants/vines would fit the tone.

And if they absoloutly HAD to have Robin I would have him as a subplot where Bruce takes him in and they show the parallels between them. Don't put him in costume (except maybe when at the circus) and don't have him be made Batman's partner.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

Catwoman and Two-Face are a must...I actually wouldn't mind seeing HUSH if that's a possibility.

you know, from what i've read, Hush sounds like an incredibly interesting character..the fact that he was a childhood friend of Bruce's, but that he had the exact opposite mindset about his parents would make for a very compelling story on film. Plus, the fact that his "costume" is essentially a trenchcoat and bandages gives him that excellent "horror" factor that Nolan is doing with the Joker now..and if you think about it, BB may have, albeit unintentionally, introduced us to a bit of Hush's costume in the coat that Bruce gave the hobo before he snuck aboard the ship..Hush comes along, kills the hobo, and you have a further underlying connection betwene Thomas Elliot aka Hush and Bruce Wayne aka Batman..that is, if the story was done right

 

[ashminator]

read the entire hush saga then

he is agood character but its too soon for his intro coz there are more character in it ect and bats needs to be at his peak at that point

 

[lixdexia]

hush...bleh. there are much better characters to be used before he does...

 

[The Kid Flames]

I really feel that the third film will be the most emotional of the three. I just pray they play up Bruce/Bats' relationship with Harvey in this film, so you care about the fall when it happens. Plus, they can really play up on the duality of each character. I can't even begin to explain how important it is that they touch on the BIG 3 (Bats/Dent/Gordon) and their unity in attempting to stop the corruption and crime that rules over Gotham.

Believe it or not, I think Ledger/Joker will play a major part in the third film as well. Nolan hinted at not killing off any major villains at one point (can't remember the interview, sorry for the lack of a link/source). Are we even really sure that Ra's is dead? No! That's the joy of it...maybe he'll be back in the third as well. Selina/Catwoman is a must in the third at some level, even minimal -- ESPECIALLY if Rachel takes the dive in this film (which they've hinted at). You never know...that's the complete and utter beauty of the story Nolan & Goyer cooked up. There are surprises in store at every turn. The characters and story drive this franchise now...as long as they make us believe in the characters and care about them and what they do -- we're looking at maybe the BEST comic-book adaptation trilogy EVER. Hell, one of the best FILM trilogies ever. Period.

 

[RobC]

I personally think The Kid Flames is right, this trilogy could turn out to be three of the best films EVER made.

But I don't wanna see a massive rise of the freaks thing. That's too Schumacher, just ground them all in reality. I like the idea of a James Bond type franchise though...

 

[The Guard]

Hush was a horrible character during HUSH and a fantastic one after it.

Go figure.

 

[Andrex]

I just read the IGN interview, and Nolan says:

"I wouldn't want to give away too much about this film, but the thing I will say, and I said it a lot about Batman Begins and it was genuinely the truth, is I don't think in terms of sequels. I think in terms of making this film the best film it can be and the most complete film it can be."

That's a bit disappointing, but I can see where he's coming from. I still believe he and Jonathan Nolan aren't naive enough not to leave some loose ends in TDK. Let's see.

Disappointing? The hell? That's what EVERY comic book movie director should be thinking. Otherwise one of the films sucks to build up for the next one, and we get an out of balance set of movies.

One scene at the end is more than enough and fitting.

What's the REAL head scratcher though is if there will be such a scene at the end of the third one. *That* would definitely turn some heads.

 

[Nepenthes]

I'm concerned about Dent. Obviously he won't be nearly as cool as Joker in TDK... but the thing is... Two-Face HAS to be just as interesting, if not more interesting to be worthy of seeing in part 3. How the hell can Eckhart top Ledger?

Movie three will have Catwoman in it. So the burden of topping TDK and the Joker won't be left on Two-Face alone. because you're right there is no way Joker can be followed by just one villain

 

[ragdus]

Want to bridge TDK and #3 in less than 90 seconds?

After all is said and done, once the credits are all sewn up, fade in to Gordon sitting in his living room watching TV. Phone rings... he's clearly alarmed.

"He's escaped? HOW!? We just caged him up"

Doorbell rings.

Jim motions for Barbara to go answer the door...





You know the rest.

 

[RobC]

Um, Barbara his wife... Or his niece who hasn't been introduced in these films (yet)?

Because um... Both ideas suck.

Wanna bridge them? Have Harvey Dent escape hospital.

 

[Lead_Tester]

for the third one i want a war between the joker and two-face, with batman in the middle.

 

[MaceB]

YEAH there could be A MOB WAR with marioni's gang, penguin (as arms dealer), black mask

A FREAK SURPLUS (with joker, two face, scarecrow, Zsas, Mad hatter)

man BATMAN IS GONNA BE BUSY IN THE THIRD FILM!

Personally, I hope that the third film will be scaled down if anything. The second film in a series is usually the most action packed, which makes a lot of sense from a structural standpoint. But for some reason, studios and directors often feel like they absolutely HAVE to top the action of the second film, so they go totally overboard on the third. Spiderman is the most obvious and ridiculous example of that. It can really ruin a series IMO.
If Nolan were to do a really good job in developing Dent as a tragic figure in TDK, then I say that we don't need another villain. (even though I wouldn't be against automatically) I hope Nolan doesn't get caught up with the whole "superhero" thing, and feel like Batman needs to be an insane actionpacked thriller...it just needs to be a good film.

that's quite a neat snappy idea, I like it.

That part they could probably leave out. I'd have her as a bombshell botanist working in research in some obscure part of Wayne Enterprises(or somewhere else). And uses more organic toxins and **** to wreak havoc. Very similar to Scarecrow in that respect.

 

[ashminator]

they really do need to build on the freindship with bruce and harvey to make the audience feel for the character and makethe comparrison so stark in the third if they dont the audience wont gell tothe character as much

i hope they can build this aspect well considering that bruce will be meeting harvey for the first time in this film

 

[ashminator]
