You beat me too it. But I think we will get a new batmobile in this movie. Batman is gonna need all he can get if he's on the run. And yeah it would be cool to see something like the batboat or batwing in the climax, its on my list of wants. Just don't throw it in there to only sell more toys.

Maybe he can get a whole platoon of vehicles lol jk
 
Gotham
------
Bruce Wayne has retired as Batman. Because Batman is now a wanted criminal, he is finding it harder and harder to pursue those he is protecting the city from when the city fear him. With crime now at a low due to most mob gangs have been disbanded there is no need for a Batman no more.
Bruce is in morning for his lost love Rachel Dawes to which he has decided to be more involved with his company. So he can not dwell to much on his feelings. Wayne Enterprises is going through changes. We learn that Lucios Fox has retired and in his place long time friend Roman Sionis has taken head of the board at Wayne Enterprises.
Roman is a visionary wanting to take risks where Bruce believes with the economic climate is to risky at present. Roman has always felt second best to Bruce because the two grew up together as there parents were best friends. But the Waynes had far more money than the Sionis had and there was some envy over that.
Bruce unvails his plan to help aid Gotham City Police Department with new technology to help them be as effective as the Batman was at fighting crime. This radical new move has caught the attention of Vicki Vale of the local Gotham news paper. Bruce is attracted to Vicki as she reminds him alot of Rachel.
However Roman forsees financle troubles if they do not cut funding from other depeartments that of which advanced science research biology which has been sucking tones of waynes money but delivering hardly zero returns.
Dr.Fries is working on a new medical treatement of auto-immune diseases with a new cure that consists of isolating the faulty gene with a nitrogen-quink combo that freezes the cells. However its still very experimental. Because of this he has been given the nickname "Mr.Freeze" because of what the operation intales. Dr.Fries was running out of time and was hoping to have his wife Nora be the first cured by this new procedure, Upon learning his department has been closed down, he becomes dispurate and steals the machinary from Wayne Industry and sets up a make-shift lab underground in gotham. There is only one problem, he cant let this fail so now he must kidnap victims to inject with the diseases so he can operate on them using this device.
Upon learning his machinary was missing Bruce turns to Gordon. Who explains that they believe its linked to a series of missing people in gotham. The kidnapper is then given the name "Zero" because he somehow is able to avoid cameras and some thermal detection sensors. The hunt is worsened when a body of one of the kidnapped is found frozen, The remaining mobs of the city are reforming as there is a belief that a serial killer is on the loose.
Bruce realises that he simply cant walk away from being Batman and decides to give controlling factor of wayne enterprises back to Roman. Roman realises that with the machinary stolen and now funding Gotham's Police Department. Wayne enteprises is about to fall apart unless he makes some quick dodgy deals. Roman then meets with some of the fallen Mobs and offers a union if you will. A collective formed under an umbrella company calling itself Black Mask. So through laundering stolen goods - Wayne enterprises gets a share and the mobs have a better way to make a steady wage.
Things get tense when Vicki Vale is kidnapped by Dr.Fries as his next patiant, Bruce/Batman - then starts to heat up on the trail. The only way to save Vicki Vale's life is to discover how a desperate mind works. He goes to visit Arkham Alsyum as Batman and meets Harley-Quinn - The Psychiatrist Doctor who looks after the mental state of the prisioners. She deduces that the assailant could someone who is working against a clock but also mentiones is this really the bigger picture. As batman leaves we learn that Harley-Quinn has been in contact with The Joker and Scarecrow who are both locked up. The Joker has curupted her mind and is now continuing his work outside of Arkham. Harley has been watching Roman for some time, The Joker states that for maximum choas there needs to be someone as feared as the batman... To which Roman is being pushed in the path of becoming The Black Mask.
Batman manages to confront Dr.Fries who has surficed to kidnapp someone else, in a fight between the two, Dr.Fries manages to make his way back to his lab where he uses his machines to try and freeze Batman, Batman however knocks him out and free's Vicki Vale. However whilst he was doing that Dr.Fries locks himself within his own machine and does the device on himself. The operation is flauded and his nerve system is shaaken. deadening some of his sense of touch. He is now numb. But still able to walk, he cant leave the area because the cold is the only thing keeping him alive. Dr.Fries then explains that he wouldnt have gone to such extreme lengths if Roman had not cut his research.
Batman then realises that although Roman was one of his oldest friends, his morals are far different. As Bruce returns to his company he discovers all the dealings Roman has done with his company. Bruce then fires Roman who then wants to seek revenge. Roman still has his links to the mob and he becomes The Black Mask. - As the black mask he plans to take down his company by framing him for something terrible. Roman then meets one of bruces old girlfriends to which he kills and frames him for it. However this is Selena Kyles sister. Bruce then goes into hiding and stays in his Batman mental and meets with Gordon who express that the inccident is a set up by The Black Mask, They then plan to set him up as a confrontation between The Black Mask and Batman occures. The Black Mask is seen winning however this is just so that Gothams Police can see him confess and be taken away...
Bruce then meets with Vicki who links the puzzle together that The Joker has been manipulating everything and has been using Harley Quinn to do so. However when he goes to confront her she has simply vanished.
Batman and Gordon then meet at the former bat signal, Gordon states that Batmans states as a villian has been lifted. To which he states there is another out there like him. Only this one is female... as a reference to Catwoman.
The End.
 
I want Phillip Seymour Hoffman to be a villan. The penquin seems natual. The penquin as an arms dealer from hell. You must have actors that can make the absurd seem real, not a characature.
I can't think of an actress that can match Hoffmans power onscreen. Has to be more than just a hot bod actress. Has to be someone who has some heavy acting chops to bring to the table.
 
A major disaster to occur such as a successful terrorist attack that disables Gotham. Many believe its a weapon left over from the Joker, but only Batman realizes that the League of Shadow has returned to send the final blow to the city. Talia ah Ghul knows Bruce Wayne is Batman and seeks to kill him with the heart by manipulating his weak emotional state after the death of Rachel and it disturbs him to focus on the overwhelming task of helping Gotham. Once things begin to rapidly transpire and return to their old ways, the city realizes there is a real need for the Batman.
 
What if gotham is determined no man's land. An earthquake. In my bane story I have him setting up a modified, intensified, and expanded Tesla Earthquake machine. I think taking something somewhat real and making it into a story is great. Not all villains use mind control machines, but should use modern voodoo, instead of making venom a super soldier drug, i made it a opium,steroid, epinephrin mix. Instead of using a freeze ray use nitrogen.

Anything can be done in batman 3. . . but everything cannot. . . hmmmm.
 
I also want a riot over Gotham's outraged reaction that the Joker is found innocent on the insanity plea and sentenced to time in Arkham Asylum. Catwoman could very well relate to this as well.

I really like that idea. Have at the beginning of the movie different tv's talking about the joker's trial and how they have found a ruling. Then we see a court room scene that is being televised live and the jury ruling that the joker is insane and must be committed to arkham instead of getting the death penalty. Only to have the joker escape later on in the film and wreak more havoc on Gotham City.

I think it would be better to not show the joker's face in his trial and only show his backside considering he would not be wearing make up in this scene.
 
As much as I adore these movies, the proper ending to the trilogy would be The Batman purely as a detective. If the Riddler has to challenge his intellect, all the better. Because, you know what, Spiderman, with superpowers and all, is more relatable than the aggresive version of Bats. End this ground-breaking trilogy with the side of Batman which could really "inspire" people; make him use his brains, not his brawn. My first memory of going to a movie theater was Burton's Batman. Show the kids you can be bad ass and solve things without cracking bones.
 
I want the next Batman to take place during Halloween. (We already had Christmas in Returns, though that was a different contunity) Nolan used 'The Long Halloween' as inspiration for Begins and TDK, so it makes sense if the third is his last, to have it take place during Halloween.

If Nolan decides not to recast the Joker, I think it would be a funny little nod/homage to the Joker to have Batman to think the Joker's back, only to turn him around and see it's some guy dressed as the Joker for Halloween.
 
This is what I got:

The theme being identity.

Obviously, the view that Gotham has of Batman isn't well at all; they see him as a villain after taking the fault for Dent's rampage. In addition, the condition of the mob isn't so well. Due to the killings - or atleast injuries - of the current mobs, someone must take their place. In their despiration to gain back control, they turn to a man they can understand: The Riddler. They - including the current leader of the mob whether just another member or a more freakish figure such as Black Mask - hire him to figure out the identity of Batman.

Meanwhile, the Batman must deal with a recent killer exacting revenge on a corporation. This being Mr. Freeze. This Mr. Freeze wears a gas mask in order to compensate for the injuries he suffered from an accident to him and his wife thanks to the said corporation. Towards the end, in their final confrontation, Batman discusses to Mr. Freeze about his revenge and the similarities to an experience he had; Mr. Freeze reflects the crazy and confused person Bruce Wayne was after his parents' death. He talks to him about revenge not being an answer and hatred can screw with, and even destroy, yourself. This hatred will cause you to lose your - and, additionally, something Batman must fight for - identity.

Afterwards, Batman fights against The Riddler - who was mainly anonymous and "behind-the-scenes" prior - who claims to know his identity. He also, sometime before, split off from the mob's control after discovering Batman's identity thanks to his growing ego (which could also be fueled by his other discovery: Two-Face). He influenced Gotham to hate Batman even more thanks to numerous crimes he was responsible for. Batman would then defeat The Riddler - however that would be - sealing Gotham's trust with Batman: something they might not like, but something they need.

At the end, Batman eventually finds out about an escapee from Arkham Asylum: The Joker. Thus, Batman continues his legacy...

That actually sounds pretty good.

Congratulations.

I'm not too sure about the Mr. Freeze part, mostly because Schumacher and Schwarzenegger ruined him for me for so long that I've lost a lot of faith in a good movie adaptation. But hell if the Nolan brothers and Goyer pull off a memorable and realistic Freeze I think I can be for it, but I'm really liking this idea for the Riddler however.

If I drew boobs on a picture of the Joker, would I have ruined the character for you?

Honestly though, I've seen some freaky manips and fanart inspired from the Batman movies and comic universes :wow:

Give us a tl:rd man!

That depends on what you're packin'.

Seriously though, my point is, while yeah, Schumacher and Co. ****ed Freeze up pretty badly, to have the character sullied in your mind so much that you don't even want to see a good adaptation of the character, is just silly. If we all operated by that logic, none of us would be reading Batman comics after seeing that issue with Bruce and Dick in the same bed together in 1962.
 
I'd like to see Batman's isolation being shown more, he can't go to Gordon cos he's on the run, he can't work the DA'S office cos both Racheal and Dent are dead and he doesn't trust the new DA he's limited on Allies.

Also I'd like to see Gordon really down, the past few months of chasing Batman have taken their toll on him, he can't live with the lie, his wife can't live knowing that her and her kids might be kidnapped again and leaves him, the Mayor is coming down on him to capture Batman whereas he can't cos he knows Batman is good and is under pressure for not capturing him.

I'd love for a moment like in turning point where Batman finds Gordon's divorce papers and tehy discuss losing a family and friends showing that these two have lost a lot, but still carry on.

Also, Gordon smoking.
 
I want to see Gotham City in the next movie, not Chicago. That was my biggest gripe with "The Dark Knight." All prior Batman movies, including the horrendous Schumacher outings, at least had a Gotham City that was unlike any American city seen before. Gotham City is such a central part of the Nolan movies that I was really uncomfortable watching the mayor or Dent talk about Gotham while the Chicago River was clearly visible outside the office windows. There weren't any Gotham-exclusive landmarks in this movie (unless you count the one building standing in as the Wayne building). So I want to see Arkham, Wayne Manor, art deco, anything that makes me feel like the movie is actually a Batman movie.
 
i liked the river in the middle of the city and Chicago brought something cool to Batman but yeah I get yeah they need to add more buildings taht are different

I agree. Gotham in Begins was still Chicago, but it was Gotham wasnt it? Those distinguishing landmarks you refer to were Arkham, the monorail, Wayne tower, the massive skyline, the Narrows. But what do you know... Nolan just didnt mention or shoot any of these. And you know why? Because he wanted his crime drama to be taken seriously. So tell me, if you take out Batman, the joker and half of Dent's face out, would you know its a batman movie? Hell no.

So anyway, i want:

  • Huge batcave. **** realism, i want the T-Rex, a river/lake, vehicles, suits, the whole thing.
  • More atmosphere like in Begins. I want to feel like its a comic book movie. The joker said "i think you and i are destined to do this forever" and i didnt feel it so much. I didnt feel that swat guy with the cape was really batman and that chicago was gotham.
  • Better use of lighting. I felt it was wrong that batman was in brightly lit rooms. On the other hand, i could not make out what the hell was going on whenever they shot in an alley. While in BB they managed to light them well, in TDK they were too dark to see a thing and many critics have pointed this out.
  • Less realism. Nolan needs to open up the franchise. Why reboot after him when his movies have been so good? People love it, this batman should carry on with stories about the rest of his rogues, the JL, etc.
  • Batman has always been obsessed about his parents. True he didnt have time for it in TDK, but we should at least see him hang a huge photo of Thomas and Martha over the fireplace or visit the graves. Come on now...
  • Visit to Arkham with a Joker cameo. Yes, re ****ing cast. Fangirls :whatever:will get over the disrespect to Heath's holy bones.
  • Less politics, less D.As, less jibber jabber and poopycock, more action, more Bruce, more Batman.
  • A better batsuit. I dont care if it hinders his movement, he cant look like a swat.
  • Robin. Yes i am serious.

I agree with everything even Robin, would love them to do it like Gohan and Piccolo in DragonballZ thats how I'd see B&R
 
I loved the jet in Burton's Batman. Make another and just call it the ''bat''.
 
id like...

- the Return of the tumbler, with a few tweaks
- the Cave
- graveyard scene
- recast the joker
- a villain that cna take bruce on mentally and physically
- Gordon should be demoted, only to be reinstated later
- FBI to comein and chase tbats
- bat wing would be kinda neat but not needed
- have dick grayson come in as a 10 year old running around wayne manor bring life too i, and to bruce, it will help take away thestrong dark side in him
