The Dark Knight Rises What could make "BATMAN III" more epic then Dark Knight?

[The Joker]

Nolan and WB are going to continue with the style of the more popular and successful Batman movie, and that is TDK.

If it ain't broke they won't fix it. Just as long as WB doesn't pull a stunt like what Sony did on Raimi with Spider-Man 3.

I can tell you that this will not happen because Raimi is not even in the same league of film-making as Nolan with directing. This isn't just an opinion, it's a well-known fact.

which reminds me joker... is batman 3 going to be the superhero movie to finally break the three-quel curse?

Yes, but money talks. TDK made over a billion dollars, got insane positive critical, general audience, and fan response, Ledger scooped an Oscar etc.

I'm just wary that WB might think they know better than Nolan and interfere with their own ideas in order to replicate the success they got with TDK.

I hope to god it doesn't happen. Spider-Man 3 should be a lesson as to what happens when the studio interferes, or listens to the fanboy wishes (including Venom in SM-3's case).

There's every possibility that it could. Like I said above, as long as Nolan is left to his own devices, it should break the curse no problem.

Hopefully the WB keep their noses out and have faith in Nolan being able to replicate the genius of both BB and TDK.

To borrow your recently used quote, Jokes; "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," and that's exactly what should be said to the WB, ie; Nolan is doing a fine job, so keep the hell out.

Not only this, but Raimi has stated that he does not like the Venom character, so you see that carelessness became a factor.

If Inception does well in the BO, I could bet my soul that WB won't touch him.

 

[Closerframe]

Nolan doesn't have to necessarily make the film more 'epic', but just a better story. The Dark Knight is great, but it's far from perfect. With Inception getting phenomenal reviews because of its complex plot and well written characters, I think Nolan can bring that to Batman 3.

 

[wayneson]

wait wait wait. hold up here. Im pretty sure he blew up. 100% sure actually.

Nope, can't be sure of that at all - Nolan never shows us his body. In TDK we saw Gordon's "dead" body (and funeral) and he wasn't dead. Besides, even in the hyper-realistic world of Nolan's Gotham in Batman Begins, the possibility of Ras' immortality is hinted at and mentioned in the dialogue.

Venom was the only villain in SM3 I didn't have problem with, he was a shallow, uncomplicated, petty sociopath.

Making Sandman uncle Ben's killer was a pathetic attempt at pathos, and the gross, mushy ending...yuck.

Harry Osborne was just a drag on all the movies. What's that character's appeal anyway?

 

[aty990]

Hopefully the WB keep their noses out

They wont though because of the success of The Dark Knight. Possibility of legal problems?

 

[Gianakin_]

Mothling means that they shouldn't interfere in the creative process, just like they did with Dark Knight and Inception.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Inception was even more epic than the Dark Knight.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Obviously

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I mean the scope. Even without them IMAX cameras.

 

[aty990]

They shouldn't, but they would probably, anyways. The Dark Knight had been a huge success and reviews for Inception tell of the movie being greater than
The Dark Knight. The director continues improving, indicative of a true artist.

 

[X Knight]

I really don't know how they can top TDK, but I have faith in Nolan and co.

Hopefully, they can avoid the "3rd film curse".

 

[DarKJediKnight]

The title should be "EPIC DARK KNIGHT".

Nice username

THE DARK KNIGHT 2: electric boogaloo

Spoiler

yes it's batman 3, but it'd be tdk2

Spoiler

i don't care, i just want one sequel to use that tagline. i don't care what the movie's about i just want that tagline.

I have this idea for the end of the third film. Throughout the film, Bruce will slowely realize that he cannot rid himself of the symbol which he has created. He'll realize that Gotham will always need Batman and by the end of the movie Bruce excepts this. However the riddler is still a threat to the city. Around the climax of the film Batman and Riddler are fighting on top of a building. Riddler has the building set to blow; one last trap set by the riddler to make sure he doesn't lose to Batman. Helicopters capture the events taking place between Batman and Riddler on top of the building so people all around the city are watching these events unravel. Riddler detonates the explosives surrounding the building and Batman appears to have died along with the Ridller in the explosion. This all happens after Bruce excepts that he has to be Batman for the rest of his life. So its very shocking for everybody to see him die right after this. However, Batman is not dead. In an awesome Nolan twist, the last shot is of two Gargoyles on top of a building, one of which is actually Batman watching over the city he loves.

So what do u guys think? I believe this sort of ending could bring a lot of emotion and excitement to the audience.

And then the next night Batman beats up some thugs who run to the press and say that Batman isn't really dead.

Yeah. No thanks.

The third Batman movie could easily be more epic than THE DARK KNIGHT.

People make the mistake of thinking that THE DARK KNIGHT is really that epic. It's a big movie., sure. It's incredibly entertaining, and somewhat relevant. Truly epic it is not, in my mind.

What changed overall for Gotham? Nothing, except the appearance of the freaks. If they don't continue and BUILD on that, this franchise will ultimately fall short of its potential. THE DARK KNIGHT had some fantastic action, and the threat with The Joker was certainly serious, but epic? Dunno. The threat was what, a couple hundred people on some ferries?

I've been saying this since TDK ended. Joker is done. Dent is done. But their presences, their impacts on Gotham, on Bruce, and on Batman and others, can be felt. It's time for the freaks to come out and play, those inspired by The Joker and Batman. And I cannot BELIEVE that after Wesley Dodds says that on page 1 of this thread, the rest of you aren't talking about it. There is room for so many angles in the context of where Gotham is now. Freak mob bosses, regular mob bosses, politicans, you name it.

Three hours sounds good to me.

THE DARK KNIGHT was about stating the obvious. THE SHADOW OF THE BAT (you watch) needs to go deeper, and get into the less obvious elements of Batman. Then it will truly be a masterpiece.

The Riddler should be the new major "freak".

Selina Kyle/Catwoman needs to be Batman's love interest in the absence of Rachel.

The Penguin should be utilized the first CAPABLE mobster in the franchise, a man who starts out exploring the "freak" approach, and then graduates beyond it, and uses them for his own purposes.

I'd love to see Leslie Thompkins and Alfred fighting for Bruce's soul, a testing of Batman and Gordon's trust, a return to the cave, new cops (Bullock and Montoya, etc), a new Batmobile, The Batcopter, the Batboat, the Batplane...so many possibilities. And Batman needs to be battling the mob and the cops. I fail to see how some of you can see these elements and not realize the third Batman movie can be bigger, better, and more meaningful. I don't understand why there's any question. It's entirely possible.

There doesn't have to be a love interest for Bruce Wayne in Batman 3. Why do the majority of people assume this? I'd personally like to see how well he develops as a character without a love interest. I think that the added theme of isolation will play a prominent role.

He can still be isolated and have a love interest. Rachel was never actually with him in either movie, yet she's deemed as a love interest, even though they only had two brief kiss scenes between the two movies.
