Beside opening up about his involvement in "Superman" franchise, Nolan also talks about "Batman 3", hinting that it probably will be the end of the story. "Without getting into specifics, the key thing that makes the third film an great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story. And in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story... I'm very excited about the end of the film, the conclusion, and what we've done with the characters," he says.

continue the story? the first & second one aren't even relative lol.
he must mean the second going into the third; but i'll be extra tight if that's the last one. :grumpy:

Batman Begins and the Dark Knight are connected though. First film you essentially have Batman shutting down crime, second film you show the impact of Batman by having the Scarecrow be involved in some petty crime and bam a psycho had to come to shake things up in Gotham. Third film seems to be that it will continue with batman being seen as a villain.

i'm just saying, people told me they didn't even see Batman Begins & they had no problems following The Dark Knight.
the only thing was Scarecrow at the start of Dark Knight & that was basically irrelevant.
i guess if you want to super anaylze it, they're connected; but i'm sure you'd have to see the end of Dark Knight to follow the third film.
but regardless, i wanted at least five films. :P

I hear ya on that. I don't really want them to stop with three films either, as long as they keep making good films. I'm okay with Nolan stopping with three if he really doesn't want to do more than that. But whatever he has planned, I hope he doesn't end his films in a way that's too crazy. I guess what I'm trying to say is I hope he doesn't plan on doing anything super drastic that would kill the franchise, like killing off Batman for instance, or having everyone discover that Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same person. I'm really looking forward to what Nolan does next with the story. But whatever it is, I hope he at least leaves it open for another director to continue, should they decide to make more films after his run is over.

I can't imagine Warner or DC letting that happen. Batman doesn't end. There's no end to the Batman story. It just keeps going. Giving a definitive end, especially in the case of a billion dollar movie franchise will make far too many fans think that this is how Batman starts and ends and that's not good for business.
A lot of common fans are idiots. I remember hearing a few people complain about Begins saying "I think it's stupid how Batman's parents die. Everyone knows Joker killed them." It's retarded and so are most of them. While they shouldn't expect much increase, DC should have an agenda to try and turn at least a small portion of fans of the film into fans of the books in some way shape or form, and ending Batman on screen would hurt that, already little, chance.
Personally I'd have DC make at least a few mini-series on the Nolan-universe Batman and follow the tone, style, and story of the films, and I'd have it start right after the end of the third film (if this is indeed Nolan's last one). It won't make many fans of the film bat an eye if they don't read comics, but I guarantee it'll attract of comic fans that don't buy everything Batman. I have never collected a Batman ongoing series, for more than and arc here and there, but if they released a monthly series from the film-universe I'd get every issue if it stayed true and didn't change everything. And I know a lot of other comic fans that don't read Batman books monthly that would do the same.

Nolan will NEVER put The Penguin in his Batman movie! Mark my words.
I think Nolan said something about not wanting to go into the "supernatural" aspects of the previous Batman-universe(s).

I've appreciated that about him so far. Dark Knight could have just as easily been a cop drama if it had different lead characters.

If you're talking about using a version of Penguin that is like what was used in Tim Burton's "Batman Returns," then I completely agree with you. Nolan has said that he will not use anything that leans too far into the realm of fantasy or the supernatural. So, your reasoning is sound. But if they took the character back to his comic book origin, he would still be on the table to use, as there was no supernatural element to the Penguin from the comics.

If he's just an arms dealer who likes tuxedo jackets and garnered the name penguin because of that and his stocky build that'd be fine. If he uses his umbrellas to fly then that would be stupid.
