Happy New Year!

Would it be a bad idea if the villain (primary or secondary) finds out Batman's identity and breaks into Wayne Manor/Batcave?

Although that was already done in Batman Forever, I wouldn't be opposed to it so long as it's done well.

I'd like to see other superheroes of the DC Universe such as Birds of Prey, but thats illogical to fit in this film. I really hope Nolan considers the potential of his unique vision and applies it to other DC characters. Realism is one thing but a Justice League film through Nolan's eyes would rule. Well what I want to see in the last film is the return of Tiny "Zeus" Lister Jr. in another cameo maybe helping Batman, and an all out action frag fest of Bats trying to escape the law. Action Action Action!! Thats what I want in the third film!!!!!!

~Bruce enjoying a nice home cooked meal.
~More gay and lesbian characters
~A strong Puerto Rican character who is Bruces right hand man.
~Batman keeping a watchful eye on gothams pride parade
~A new born baby grandson for Alfred.
~Joel Schumacher, director

Actually, I just want to see Bruce Wayne/Batman as interesting as can be right up at the front the action. I want to see some interesting takes on classic villans, the batcave, the new mansion, no love interest,some great iconic Batman shots,...and if this particular series will not continue....Robin (used sparingly, won't happen i know...)

I'd like to see a bit more of Bruce this time, or maybe not even more Bruce but more "warm" situations. Like J. Custer said - Bruce enjoying a home cooked meal by Alfred would be a nice addition to the dark and gritty vibe of the movie.

I was joking.... but come to think of it some nice breaded pork chops, mashed potatos and peas would be a great meal for Bruce (not to mention MYSELF).....probably the first descent meal he's had since he got back from overseas. Furthermore, it would be epic if Bruce washed it all down with a large cold bottle of Welch's grape. You think them ninjas know anything about a great home cooked American meal? They probably had him eating stuff like fish heads, squid porridge, yak, bok-choi, and white rice (with no butter!). Motherless dogs!

I didnt really like bales bat voice in DK. Get a prettier love interest for bale because DK rachel was fugly. Better fighting scenes, bale still looks like hes struggling in that batsuit when hes fighting. Since wayne manor is getting rebuilt i hope the batcave is high tech and filled with everything that batman needs.

I know you were joking, but I'd like a more human Bruce.

Just remembered... weren't there "two" tumblers being developed by Wayne Tech?

What do I want in the sequel? Hugo Strange!

Imagine if you will. . .

Hugo Strange is a prominent and renowned professor of psychology and new head of psycho-therapy at the recently reopened Arkham Asylum. Here he performs a series of horrifying and sadistic experiments, including torture and interrogation of select inmates who have previously had an encounter with the Batman. Strange’s fascination becomes more apparent as he revels in each account of the Dark Knight. However, this strange, yet subtle obsession quickly leads to a mental breakdown, leaving the professor in a delusional state. Believing himself to be worthless and insignificant in comparison to the Batman and losing his confidence as a doctor of psychology overall, Strange vows to find and break the mind of the fallen hero. Focusing all of his compiled hatred and concentration on the Batman, Strange extensively physically and mentally trains himself to the extent of peak human ‘perfection’ all the while beginning a violent and personal smear campaign against the only man he envies. Proceeding to publicly announce a disturbingly accurate, yet vile and misshapen psychoanalysis of the Caped Crusader, Strange paints an image of the knight darker than the night itself and is eventually approached by GCPD. At the request of the newly elected and easily swayed Mayor Wilson Kauss, Strange joins the Vigilante Task Force as its lead consultant and psychoanalytic profiler. He demands access to all GCPD files and beginning re-profiling the Batman using much needed, and much more recent information. Strange mainly keeps to himself throughout his work, using his Arkham office as a base of operations, while slipping more into madness whenever at his penthouse. Strange has deep tie-ins and a strong influence over the drug trafficking ring associated with the False Face Society. He oversees all direct shipments of his “medication” to the various medical facilities. His influence as a doctor becomes more apparently associated with his own insanity and controlled substances. As a psychoanalytic expert he relies on an unmatched extensive knowledge of psychology and psychiatry. Intent on deducing the Batman’s true identity, the compulsive and dangerously driven professor will stop at nothing to tear the Batman out of existence.

What else do I want? Black Mask!

Bear with me. . .

Roman Sionis, known in the underworld of Gotham as The Black Mask, is the head of the Gotham’s dominant crime organization known as The False Face Society, and supplies the remaining mob families with all of its drugs and illegal arms. The Black Mask is a ruthless, arrogant, narcissistic crime boss with little patience for anyone. An unexplained incident in the past left certain areas of his face scarred and surgeries have left it unevenly deformed. As a result, Sionis as the Black Mask wears a hideous, black oak wooden mask carved straight from his father’s coffin and into the shape of a skull. As a means of symbolism by “inflicting fear into the hearts of man”, Sionis truly believes that, despite being removable, he and the mask are one. Each member of his organization, The False Face Society, is required to bear the branding of a grim skull on their body. When not attending to illegal operations behind the mask, the public views the sly and careless tendencies of the ill-willed business tycoon control freak Roman Sionis. Sionis heads his family owned business as the CEO of SIONIS Ent., a multimillionaire state, federal, and mob financing company rivaling Wayne Enterprises in business funding and accounting. Sionis and Bruce Wayne are close ‘acquaintances’ at best. Having known each other for years, the recently reformed SIONIS Ent. and its major financial jump on the markets catches not only Bruce Wayne’s attention, but also Luscious Fox’s. After withstanding numerous police investigations and legal issues, Wayne Enterprises eventually buys out SIONIS Ent., compelling Sionis to don the mask full time and drive the knife of criminality deeper into the heart of Gotham. Targeting its favorite son, Bruce Wayne, the False Face Society begins burning down Wayne Enterprises owned properties. Continuing, the Black Mask begins a large drug trafficking ring down around the lower East End of Gotham City in an effort to maintain total control over the exports and imports of all illegal dealings around the city. This easily catches even more unwanted attention from a low lying, yet always suspecting Batman and the ever watching, ever wandering Catwoman.

And finally, what do I really want in the sequel? Here it comes . . . Catwoman!

Okay, okay, hold on now . . .

Selina Kyle is an eccentric, independently wealthy, green-eyed brunette who is undeniably beautiful beyond imagination. Once a former model, Selina currently works by day as the secretary of Internal Affairs at Wayne Enterprises. By night, she stalks the cityscape as the self-imposed masked philanthropist known as the Catwoman. Earning a frowned upon fame among Gotham as a master thief, Selina has armed herself with much of Batman’s very own WayneCorp tech (due to being secretary of Internal Affairs). Donning a dark and daring parachuted leather vest, a slick black armor bodysuit with curved goggles under a wind resistant mask, Catwoman’s entire suit, from the retractable steel “claws” in her gloves and boots to the ears on her head, vaguely resembles a cat. She carries around and effectively makes use of a leather bullwhip. As the Catwoman, Selina acts as a ‘Robin Hood’ type figure, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor, while keeping a close watch over the side of Gotham in which she was raised. Soundly inspired by the Dark Knight, Catwoman interferes with numerous mob dealings, attempting to put an end to various drug trafficking and stealing thousands of dollars from organizations such as the False Face Society, creating an enemy within the Black Mask. She constantly taunts criminals, usually with their own money and her own attractiveness. Continuing in a manner similar to that of the Caped Crusader, Selina takes down henchmen and thugs alike under the guise of the night’s natural camouflage. Catwoman is also a master escape artist, mainly eluding yet constantly luring the Dark Knight into a game of sexual advance. Though nowhere near as dedicated to fighting crime as Batman, Catwoman makes good of her deeds. Next to being independently wealthy, Selina has formed countless charities across Gotham, investing in top medical research and education. Catwoman mirrors Batman in almost every aspect. She will cross the line in times when he will. She tests him affectionately and professionally, while her taste for the theatrics and her sexy appeal to him only further attracts the bat to the cat.

Tell me what ya think =)

 

[MisterStrange]

She will cross the line in times when he will not.

 

[Dark Knight]

She will cross the line in times when he will not.

You mean she will cross the line at times.....when he will not.

I agree...she should.

 

[combocaz]

I wouldnt mind seeing helen mirren get a small part in the film. Maybe she could play aunt harriet.

 

[Caped Crusader]

Black Mask, Catwoman.

& the return of ...

I want to see the official title changed from "The Dark Knight Rises" to "Gotham City Rises" by the time the first trailer comes out.

[NEXUS 6]

Nolan ain't bringing him back. Consider it a plot hole, whatever. Say it was resolved off-screen. Maybe they'll do it in the viral marketing.

I'd say the best way to handle Reese is to have him be the first victim of whoever Batman's primary antagonist is. Batman, logically, would become the primary suspect. Reinforces his "villainy".

 

[Darkest-Knight]

Arkham Asylum

This!

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I want to see Nolan do his own thing, not be pressured by studios and fanboys, and make a great third installment.
