By now everyone has seen the amazing Dark Knight Rises. Although I don't really think a spin-off/sequel is necessary, I had too many good ideas to pass up. So although I don't even approve of the idea, if this were to happen, I believe this premise and cast would be perfect for the next installment of the Dark Knight.
Enter The Night-
After the events of the Dark Knight Rises, Gotham City is rebuilding. Former cop “Robin” John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is now a private detective, also trying to unfold what Bruce Wayne has left for him. After learning Wayne’s gadgets and cave, Blake takes the name “Nightwing” as he looks to resume what Batman had left. As his job as protecting the streets of gotham seems easy at first, Nightwing faces a new threat in crime boss Waylon Jones (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), who otherwise is known as “Killer Croc.” Born with a skin disease that makes his skin hardened and scaly, bullets and blades deflect of his body with ease making Jones a impossible villain for the new hero of Gotham. Only one man can teach Blake the true skills to overcome such a strong villain, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale). Presumed dead, Wayne and his girlfriend Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) come back to Gotham secretly to teach Blake what it takes to become Gotham’s new hero. Along the journey, Blake falls for the daughter of Commissioner Gordon, Barbara Gordon (Rachel Nichols), and must deal with a psychopath villain in Edward Nash (David Tennant), whose intent is to only wreck havoc on the people of Gotham. A new hero in Nightwing is needed to save Gotham, and with the people of Gotham facing a new threat, time will tell if Blake can save Gotham.
Cast-
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Nightwing/John Blake
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Waylon Jones/Killer Croc
As in the description, Waylon Jones is born with a skin disease that makes his skin hardened and scaly, bullets and blades deflect of his body. A mob leader, he is a extreme challenge for Night wing.
Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon
Rachel Nichols as Barbara Gordon
NO Batgirl! Plays very hard to get with Blake, but in the end they fall in love
David Tennant as Edward Nigma/The Riddler
This is a very hard role to get right, but with the look and good acting skill, I believe Tennant can pull it off. Riddler will come in later and play with Nightwing, eventually capturing Comissioner Gordon, making Nightwing go rescue him and helping Barbara.
Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Comes back in a fight scene to help out Nightwing. Trains him, and before he goes to battle, Batman and Catwoman tell him he must fight his own battle.
Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox
As told from Bruce Wayne, he makes suit and helps create weapons for Nightwing.
Again, not a big fan of the idea, but I believe this would be perfect if this were to happen. And it is also realistic. Check out my fan site for more editorials and fan casts, and be sure to give this page the THUMBS UP (Y) if you like it!
