I could get behind that with Nolan doing it, but definitely a tricky charcter to get just right.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

If there's a deal for a third movie, it's fairly recent. I agree with Matt that the studio will be eager to convince them to do it, so I expect they will. But in the PR blitz Nolan & Bale were both pretty clear that there's no firm plan for a third movie. This is from an interview in July:
Christian has expressed enthusiasm for doing a third "Batman" with you. How about it?
Nolan: All I can say is that, when we finished the first film, I didn't have any intention of doing a second one. And this time, I really tried to put everything that I ever wanted to see in the Batman story into this film.

Hey. New board.
I'd actually really like to see Nolan's take on an Azrael story. And if we need a pure villain to offset the freaky-vigilante-who-thinks-he's-a-good-guy, maybe bring in Bane.
You could have Azrael be a vigilante who had been working in a strongly Catholic South American city who follows Bane to Gotham, encroaching on Batman's territory, shining more mirrors on the are-you-good-if-your-intentions-are-good thing.

“Not dead yet!”
I wonder... since he's worked with Nolan before, how Guy Pearce would be as The Riddler?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
if you could get the right actor-- one who could be a cool, measured, intellectual counterpart to Batman with a nice dose of the craxy
You know who'd be good in that role? Christian Bale.

Oooh, or Guy Pearce.

Dude. That casting + the whole One Year Later metrosexual makeover (which, I dunno, did they undo? that was one of the few GOOD things that came out of OYL!) would make me sit up and beg.

Strega, thanks for the link.
I thought I heard around the release of the first movie that he planned to do a trilogy. Maybe these are just thoughts bouncing around in my feverish mind.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Rewatched Batman Begins today. I think part of Bats' inalienable appeal for me is that all the good stories seem to be tragedies, even when the crime is stopped.
Superman gets to marry Lois, you know?
I want to have the Batman movies' babies.
I'm assuming from the previews that Colin Farrell's character in Pride and Glory is at least compromised, if not bad, right?
