The Dark Knight

Actually, I think if it Robin was brought in AT THE END of Part 3, not even as RObin, but just Bruce Wayne's adoption of **** Grayson, it would make for a nice closure on the trilogy. Robin's parents get killed by Two-Face and he wants revenge...Bruce is the only person who could possibly understand him, and Robin becomes really the only thing that keeps him from going over the deep end.

You mean the character of "richard" Grayson is introduced but not Robin?
I could live with that.

I dunno how they plan on doing it. I'm just speculating that would be a good way to end the trilogy if Grayson is introduced at the end of Part 3, especially since those two titles rumored to be the source material actually deal with Two-Face and Robin.

Then, maybe, someone can pick that up with a Nightwing movie or something.

Well, Robin has never really been handled correctly. That's why I think they should just introduce him in Part 3, and then skip to a Nightwing movie with him all grown up and still trying to cope with his mixed feelings towards Bruce's radical fanatacism.

Now I'm gonna get really geeky here Desing Sifu, but I'm sure you won't mind Maybe Batman couldn't smoke bomb his way out of the night club because he's young, and would later on fully develop his skills and use of gadgets. But if it's a 3 picture deal, then that would only leave one movie to fully develop Batman. So that can't be right. Ah well, just a thought.

Sure, the movie does a great job of illustrating a stressful time in The Batman's career (probably the 1st of many) and a chance to blow of steam by kicking much @$$ is something we can all relate too.

Two-Face is entirely appropriate.

My only confusion is this, and this is largely because up til now I've heard The Dark Knight Returns is going to be the name of part III and that it was going to feature Harvey Two-Face Dent as the main villian. I have a hard time believing that Harvey died from a fall that didn't kill the Bat, and armor or not they'd get pretty much the same internal organ shock from that kind of fall, but you've got that funeral scene mixed into that montage as Gordon and Batman are discussing how Harvey Dent can't be seen as a monster but as the "white knight" DA hero.

So here I'm thinking "is Harvey dead or did they fake his death and stash him away somewhere... Arkham perhaps... only to have him resurface in the next film to be Batman's big nemesis?"

I read it the same way. They lock Harvey up in Arkham and fake his death. His escape (Even an absent Joker could be explained by the actions of a love struck Dr. Quinzel).

aaron ekhart just signed on to do a thrid film. and i thought an actor of his calibre is going to do just a cameo.

I totally agree, with Ekhart in the role of Two-Face I'm sure he could carry a film opposite (bad news)Bale. In such a case, the film could be named Dark Knight Two(get-it ). A returning Two-Face would likely have vastly improved visual effects perhaps with infection having set in and so forth.

I believe the intent is to adapt “The Long Halloween” and “Dark Victory,” both of which feature Two-Face and deal with how Two-Face was involved in the death of Robin's family.

Batman Begins covered BATMAN: Year One with the addition of Ra's al Ghul. Not too much of Long Halloween was evident beyond the fall of Carmine Falcone and maybe the appearance of Scarecrow.

The Dark Knight seems to draw as much from The Killing Joke as it does from The Long Halloween. Place Harvey Dent on the psychological roller coaster Commissioner Gordon literally rode in the Graphic Novel and place Rachael Dawson in a fatal version of Barbara Gordon's role and you have the Harvy Dent's transformation into Two-Face. We do see Sal Maroni and by the third act the plots of both The Dark Knight and The Long Halloween line up rather closely; minus the Holiday Killer.

Using Dark Victory as a framework for a third film could be great to see. I'd certainly agree with MK's choice with introducing Grayson minus Robin though I think that would be a hard sell to the toy companies. An accidental Robin in a circus suit could work; I suppose.

Perhaps we'll instead see some elements return from the Bruce and Ra's relationship.


BTW Nightwing = Daredevil in blue... and we all remember how that movie worked out

[Lucas]

IMO movie adaption of nightwing would be better done to get rid of the tights, and bring in some combat boots, and a nice gritty real down to earth story, someting simple probably not involving super villians at all. leave them for the bats, and let nightwing bloody up the yakuza or something.
