Batman returns once more: Christopher Nolan does it again!!!

Just go back to typing up screenplays that nobody will ever read,because with endings like that thats all they will ever amount to.

Are you serious? You can't be that dense. You really didn't get the joke?

Over his head. I thought it was funny.

Thank you sir. I'm not even saying the joke is roll on the floor hysterical but it should at least warrant a chuckle. That being said I would erupt if they ever actually did something like that to end the series. Just because of how daring it would be. I mean to sacrifice so much money just for kicks would be admirable.

Its not over my head,I just thinks its lame.

Then explain to me how it's cliche.

Some new updates from Nolan himself:

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.

The British filmmaker informs that his brother Jonathan Nolan, who has previously penned "The Dark Knight", is writing the screenplay for the next sequel, gushing "My brother has come up with some pretty exciting stuff." He further explains, "Unlike the comics, these thing don't go on forever in film and viewing it as a story with an end is useful. Viewing it as an ending, that sets you very much on the right track about the appropriate conclusion and the essence of what tale we're telling. And it hearkens back to that priority of trying to find the reality in these fantastic stories. That's what we do."

Asked about who will be the next "Batman" villain, he refuses to spill the detail, but does eliminate one name, saying "It won't be Mr. Freeze." Though he has spoken a lot about his return to the next movie about the Gotham hero, Nolan still won't confirm to Los Angeles Times whether or not he will direct "Batman 3", which recently was reported to have begun scouting in Chicago.

sounds like a real good concept if that would be the right word for something that was such a tragedy. i can see how the series will be in terms of gritty real life feel as well from the creators of the wire.

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.

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.

Screw the conventional Batman villians.  Bring in Lobo.

 Well said.  They touch on that at the end of "Batman Begins" with Gordon talking about escalation.  And then they really get into it in "The Dark Knight," where Bruce Wayne sees the consequences, both good and bad, that his actions have had over the course of both films.  Also, in a way that is perhaps a bit less central to the overall story (but still significant), both movies are tied together by Bruce Wayne's romantic pursuit of Rachael Dawes. They also tie things together by wrapping up the Scarecrow storyline from "Batman Begins" at the beginning of "The Dark Knight."  In addition, they mention that Sal Maroni is the successor to the Falcone crime family, which was the family that was used in "Batman Begins."
 I do think that both movie storylines' can stand independently of each other, in that you don't really need to see one to appreciate the other one. But they are related in some ways.

LOBO I tell yah.  He'll fuckin kill Batman

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.

 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 say introduce Victor Freeze and Dick Grayson, have Nolan end it the way he wants, but I hope they leave it open because if another director fucks it up, we can all just say it ended after part 3, it was a great trilogy and the others never happened.
