No throat cancer voice :)

hell yeah batman would make a voice manipulation machine.

Talia Al Ghul!!!!!!!!!!!!
you know, to tie in the first movie, finishing the trilogy.

Either Deadshot or Bane

no talia al ghul! cause that could end like spiderman 3 goblin jr

Batwing especially, batboat, and a new batsuit...
riddler as the primary villain, penguin as a crime boss/minor villain, and catwoman as a love interest/vigilante, it could work in a story like this...

It has been about six months to a year since the events of the Dark Knight has passed. The Joker has been locked away in Arkham Asylum, Two-Face is dead, and Batman is hated by the public for the supposed murders he committed, while Gotham is as bad as it has ever been. But some people have come to believe in the name of Batman and have also decided to fight the war on crime in Gotham City, just as ordinary every day citizens are trying to do what Batman did. One in particular is Catwoman, a woman who uses a cat as her symbol of justice, law, and order, and who copies Batman as a vigilante trying to stop crime in the midst of Batman’s absence and actually is cleaning up Gotham.

Bruce Wayne at this time has become a recluse since the events of the Dark Knight, personally blaming himself for the deaths of Rachel Dawes and Harvey Dent at the hands of the madman, the Joker. He has become a drunkard and keeps himself locked in the rebuilt Wayne Manor fighting through his inner demons and pain that comes to him every day. He has given up on being a hero, believing that he has only made things worse for himself and for Gotham City and that trying to be Batman was a foolish crusade. In addition to this Wayne Enterprises is being bought and taken over by Cobblepot Industries, due to the recent 2008 failing economy in America and the neglect of Wayne having no dealings with the company or any interaction with the outside world due to his trouble spirits. Cobblepot Industries is headed by a man known as Oswald Cobblepot and in some circles, is known as the Penguin due to his ugly and overweight appearance. Cobblepot has also been working behind the shadows to take over as the head crime boss of Gotham City, since Carmine Falcone is still in Arkham Asylum, and the remaining crime bosses, such as Gambol, the Chechen, and Sal Maroni were killed off in the Dark Knight by the Joker and Two-Face.

While this is going on, a mysterious criminal known as the Riddler has come on the scene and is trying to cause chaos in Gotham and bring about its ultimate destruction. What is shown in flashback sequences at the beginning or perhaps later in the film and through what is told by the Riddler is that he was a simple computer programmer known as Edward Nygma, who unfortunately lost his job during the economic crisis of 2008 and was about to lose his home due to back payments, as well as trying to pay medical bills for his sick wife, who was unfortunately dying of an inoperable brain tumor. This led him to join a gang in an act of depression and desperation who try to rob a jewelry store, so he could get money and save what little of a life he had left. Unfortunately during the robbery, Batman had come on the scene and stopped the bad guys including Nygma, who tragically broke his legs and the last remnant of his sanity in the ensuing chaos and was sent to jail. All in all he became a crippled man with metal rods placed in his legs for support and leading him to use a cane for support, while causing him to experience unending pain every day as a result. When released from prison, he discovers that his house was lost and his wife had died to her cancer. He has since blamed Batman for what happened and vowed to get revenge on him, whatever the cost.

Fast forward to the present, he takes up the mantle of the Riddler and is trying to draw Batman out of his seclusion, so he can have his revenge and kill him. He does this by kidnapping various police officers and local government officials, and subjecting them to various measures of extreme torture and eventual death, if they cannot solve his insane riddles placed before them, such as (who is the dark knight) and (how can I find the batman). He also asks these riddles and others on Batman in Gotham’s newspapers and has the occasional tendency to blow up various buildings and such to scare people into giving up Batman, as well as trying to get Batman to return to Gotham so he can kill him. Eventually, Alfred gets Bruce to go back out and face the Riddler and the Penguin. Catwoman also inspires him to be a hero again and in doing so, she willingly takes the blame for the murders Two-face committed in the Dark Knight. The police and public at large buy into this; since Catwoman has a similar costume to Batman’s and therefore was a “Case Of Mistaken Identity”. Unfortunately, the families of Two Face’s victims still hold a grudge and Catwoman is killed by them.

Batman goes to Lucius Fox, who still has some equipment left to give to Batman, to stop the Penguin and Riddler. Batman gets a new batsuit, a stealth boat, known as the Batboat, and a newly designed military fighter plane, which he dubs the Batwing, another Tumbler, and various new gadgets in order to complete his mission. It appears that the Penguin became Gotham’s new crime boss and tried to rule Gotham with the Riddler, as his partner, but Riddler uses Penguin and eventually gets his hands on two biologically devastating chemical missiles that he plans to fire upon Gotham City, killing all of its citizens in the process, as well as himself. He feels that since he has suffered so much, humanity shall suffer too. Batman and Riddler eventually fight and Riddler tries his hardest to kill Batman, since he blames Batman for the problems of his life. Batman eventually defeats Riddler, who dies refusing to give up his hatred and the evil within him. Batman finally puts his pain to rest, is reaccepted by Gotham’s citizens, and becomes Gotham City’s hero forever. Also, the underlying theme of this story is revenge and redemption.

Read it, THABATMAN.. Loved some of it, Liked other bits, "hated" a little. I'm new to the site but have been visiting for... probably 3 years now. I've decided I want to share my opinions with you guys. How do I create an article like this for you guys to see?

Thanks.

and by the way.. im about to work on one for the new Superman movie also

I may have mentioned this in the comments of other FanCast but just to reiterate:I would like to see one of the following combination of Baddies:

1. Hush (Thomas Elliot) controlling Riddler, Talia Al'Ghul
2. Hush, Black Mask, Catwoman
3. Black Mask & Catwoman

I love the character of Hush because he's a foil to Bruce Wayne/Batman and I reckon he would be great in the realistic Nolanverse. After all, Thomas Elliot is Bruce Wayne's old friend and therefore possibly Rachel's as well. He could be in Gotham for Rachel's funeral and then blah blah blah...

Black Mask is also a great choice because after the injury/death(?) of Salvatore Maroni someone else needs to rise up and take control of Gotham's criminal underground. Black Mask can be the most vicious Mob Boss ever :)

Talia Al'Ghul is obviously a good choice because it relates back to the first movie and she can be in Gotham to get revenge or whatever for her father.

* Note: KEEP THE GRAVELLY VOICE...makes this Batman more unique, darker, and realistic. Otherwise anyone can tell that it's Bruce Wayne base on his voice.

Even though i do like Nolan's take on Batman, i am going to wait till the 3rd instalment comes out (with no accidents) to personally decide if Batman is truly one of the best series of comic book movies.

I felt that the unfortunate death of Heath Ledger increased the buzz around the film and, even though i think it in the negative form, made people go and watch it. The story is very well told and i'm not a big fan of extremely long movies - unless they're made right.

Nolan knows how to capture an interesting feel for Batman but i'm biased on Heath's death for some reason. I'd like to see them come up with something never seen before. Fugitive heroes? This reminds me a bit of Watchmen - like Dr.Manhattan being blamed for something he didnt do. I think they need to come up with a shocking plot (Batman's death wont impress me though it'd be a right move if Nolan's happy with his trilogy. Like that the studio wont be able to come up and 'continue' the franchise but would probably have to start again - therefore they wont screw up the trilogy)

My two cents ;p

Bomblu.. if they killed off batman that would piss a lot of ppl off. even if he is "dead" in the comics

Black Mask is a must villain.
New Batsuit.
A really satisfying ending to the triology. I dont know, might even mention the Graysons is in town.

@Bomblu
Fox didnt resigned from his job.
He said "I will help you this time, but as long as this machine is at Wayne industries, I wont be."

Batman said "when your done, type in your name"

which destroyed the machine

soo Lucius fox still works there

You dont see the Riddler as a challenge??!!

Welcome GreenLanternEll

@SlCpunk

I see him more as a mental challenge, not a physical challenge.

and no I haven't read HUSH yet.. I will soon though

Good article bro.

I would like to see the return of the batcave, more fighting and detective work and The Riddler. Huge Johnny Depp Fan.

New foe/s, like in "BB", not the same ol' names.

@ HAQ

yessir indeed, but then about the Villains they would probably want to do one of the mainstream villains, honestly i JUST started reading comic books on a regular basis last year. and until a couple days ago i didn't know
Victor Zsasz had a cameo in the movie. I didn't even know who he was until I played the Arkaham Asylum demo. Im sure they will try to use more mainstream villains for the next movie

Idea time: Maxie zeus, The Cavalier and Bag o' Bones team-up :)
