Batman 3? (Dark Knight spoilers included)

I'd be surprised to see Penguin in the same film as Catwoman ... too much baggage from 'Returns.'

 

They'll go to great lengths to avoid duplicating any of the pairings from the first series. That almost forces Riddler and Catwoman together by default.


I don't think we'll see Poison Ivy (too derivative of Catwoman) or Mr. Freeze (there is no such thing as a freezing-ray gun).

I could see BB IV being a transitional movie -- away from costumed villains and back to organized/corporate crime. Falcone and/or Maroni get out of prison, Earle returns to wreak havoc on Wayne Enterprises, and tuxedo-clad British exotic-bird smuggler Oswald Cobblepot joins the mix. A late subplot in this movie could cover brief glimpses of the Joker being treated in Arkham by behavioral therapist Harleen Quinzel.

Then, in BB V, the Joker breaks out of Arkham and goes wild, and disturbing clues start to surface that R'as Al Ghul may be back, too, the movie culminating in a showdown free-for-all.

 

I don't see Nolan, Bale or anyone else doing five movies. A third Batman film still hasn't been confirmed with Nolan in the mix.

 

Yeah, and it hasn't been confirmed that Tiger Woods will someday win another Major either.

 

Philip Hoffman would be a fantastic Penguin.

 

I gotta go with Schiezainc, I'd be shocked if Nolan bolts after the success these two movies have had. I doubt he'll do five, but I'd be flabbergasted if he doesn't do a third.

 

Superman III.

Godfather III. (since some critics actually compared this one to GF II)

X-Men 3.

Spider-Man 3.

Ewoks.

Uh . . . . . maybe they could just kind of . . stop here?

 

Die Hard 3

Rocky 3

Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors

Mission Impossible 3

Saw 3 (yeah, it's a stretch)

 

Holy shit, what's wrong with the Ewok movies? I loved those when I was a kid and would buy both, right now, if they were in front of me and I was at a store.

 

Nolan wasn't committed to doing a second Batman movie. He signed on because he loved the script so much. It would have to improve on Dark Knight, which will be a hard task.

 

I don't have time to google it right now, but I thought his brother wrote the script.

 

According to IMDB, Nolan and his brother Jonathan wrote the screenplay together. Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer got "story" credits.
