Ive been a big fan of this site for a long time now, and ive read almost everyones veiws and opinions on what Batman3 should be like, and as my first ever post, id like to share my veiw on how it should be...
It shouldn’t be left off too soon or too late after The Dark Knight ended. The Mob see's the police are after Batman for murder, so they are back to their old ways and in full-swing. and Batman cant keep up with the over-time he puts in with the mob and police. Bruce Wayne is tired, and also with the crime in high-times, his business is falling slowly down in stocks and sales. He looses banks and hotels and endorsements, and gets labels as the "Bad Boy of Wayne Enterprises" yet again like the first movie. Bruce then finds himself in a depression and looking for answers on where his path should go as Bruce and Batman.
Meanwhile During The Joker's public statement before being sent to Arkham (which is never to be seen in the film), he makes an almost identical speech he made to Harvey Dent in the hospital in TDK. about being a "Agent of Chaos"... Also, Harvey Dent as Two Face is raising hell in the city, but none are knowing that he is Harvey as they think Harvey is dead. Harvey has is own goons and men while speaking of "The Joker is just a dog, i wanna know who let him off his leash" like he said to Salvatore Maroni in TDK. The Joker ends up having a boss that no one knew about. Two Face learns that the Ferry-Boat job from TDK was really an act of "Rebellion" against his boss.... Also, the fact that The Joker tried to kill the man who worked for Lucis Fox in TDK, who was curious about the Tumbler being used by Batman, and went on tv to expose who Batman really was.
The man about to expose Batman in TDK is Edward Nigma. and The Joker worked for Edward Nigma, but in an act of rebellion, He went against Edward and tried to have him killed by calling in the tv show in TDK. Edward hired The Joker after his stunt at the banks being robbed and his meeting with the mob in TDK to try and kill The Mayor. Edward just wants to get a chance to be an upper-class worked at Wayne Enterprise, so he gets every chance he gets... like realized The Tumbler being used as batman and blackmails Fox, and how if the Mayor dies, he could do something heroic to project an "image" to the public that he should be the face of Wayne.
in the 3rd movie, Edward Nigma's plans all failed after The Joker ruined them, and lost his job in Wayne Enterprises, he is broke and almost homeless. He surfs the Internet and hacks into bank accounts for money. He also see's un scene amature footage of Batman and becomes obsessed with learning more about him. Two-Face learns Edwards and The Joker's past, and seeks revenge to see if Edward was really the cause of Rachels death. So he tracks him down and confronts him, Edward then talks to Harvey face-to-face and explains his whole history of crime and his past with The Joker and how it lead up to him having nothing and loosing it all. Two face then learns Rachel’s death wasn't in Edwards hands for Edward told The Joker to kill Harvey and only Harvey, to never capture Rachel to begin with.
Two Face and Edward then talk some more about bringing down Batman (sounds too much like "Batman Forever", i know)... Edward then shares his views and ideas of what could happen. Harvey agrees a partnership in the two after hearing Edwards "Last Master Plan" of his.
Edward then changes his name through hacking the dmv's and police files and what not... he then puts on a character he then names "The Riddler". He finds a way to get to the police and tells them "I can get you Batman, if you pay the right price". The Police then agree to work with The Riddler and give him all he wants. Meanwhile, Gordan tells Batman what's going on as Batman shares his small ideas of possibly "calling it quits". They then end on a sour note and Batman disappears.
Two-Face then raises hell on the city, stirring up the public. Batman and him have a couple battles but no wins in either side. The Riddler comes back to the police during his "work" on finding batman, he then tells them "I can bring down Two-Face as well if you wish", the police then agree for The Riddler to take him out too.
The Riddler then sets up Two face behind his back, and has him locked up and sent to Arkam as Harvey screams "I am Harvey! I am Harvey!!" to the press and police. The Riddler is praised in the city and loved by the people and beg him to stop Batman.
As The Riddler makes the press and latest news, Bruce Wayne learns he is really Edward Nigma, and remembers him from the past in TDK. He then finds Edwards crime history and even a Arkham file on doctor visits and Edward visiting Therapists sharing his ideas of money, creed, destruction, and even an "I will unmask Batman" file.
Bruce Wayne then feels more crushed as he's hated by the world as Batman, and his being alone and business falling. His depression causes him to give up on common calls as Batman. Gordan cannot reach him and talk to him. Till Alfred speaks up some motivational group of words as a "One last time" speech. Bruce cleans up and agrees "Im going to give it one last fight to bring down The Riddler, and then put away the suit forever". Batman then has a rooftop meeting with Gordan which isnt seen in the movie till the end of the conversation "Are you sure you want to do this?" asks Gordan. With Batman replies with a "I've never asked a friend a big enough favor, just be sure its done before tomorrow morning, and your at the right place at the right time"
Batman then hits the streets in his Batpod and goes after The Riddler. The Riddler is protected by the city and police, so batman fights them off but not harming them. He then reaches The Riddler after a long exciting battle of police and goons.The Riddle and him then have a chat, and The Riddler exposes himself and tells Batman the whole story. and the two of them then fight. The Riddler then runs away into a car as Batman chases him on his Batpod. Batman then fires guns into The Riddler's car till The Riddlers goons in a van fires a missile into the Batpod splitting it in two flying Batman over to a crossroads in city streets. The Riddler walks up to Batman and starts beating him. He then rips small wires out of the side of Batmans helmet to turn off the "electric boobie trap" in his mask. He laughs "Ya see, i know everything about you, you must learn about your pray before you hunt it!". then without a pause, The Riddler rips off Batmans mask for the big "oh man" moment in the movie.
The Riddler begins to laugh normal, he then laughs more crazier like the old-skool riddler from the 60's tv show. The Riddler then holds a gun to Bruce Wayne's head and cocks it. The camera pans out till you hear a gunshot But then realizes it wasn’t the bullet going into Bruce's head, but a bullet in The Riddlers back with Gordan standing behind him. The Riddler is still alive, but just hurt. Gordan then drags The Riddler in the back of a swat truck and locks him inside.
Gordan then walks up to Batman to see that is Bruce Wayne. The Two have a talk about all the dirty secrets and expose it all to themselves. Gordan shocked to see its Bruce, he still promises to never tell anyone on their friendship that they've creative. Bruce then tells Gordan "Im done, im giving it up after tonight. Batman is no more..." Gordan asks him how he's going to pull that off. Bruce then reminds Gordan he owes him a favor.
Bruce gives Gordan his batsuit and everything he has, and tells him "tell the people, batman is dead"
Gordan then makes a public speech about the death of Batman the following morning, along with The Riddlers induction to Arkham, along with Gordan's retirement. As Gordan is on TV, Bruce is back at the mansion packing his things with Alfred. Bruce tells Alfred that he's let go and no longer is needed for help.. Alfed then tells Bruce he's not going to be leaving him ever for Bruce his been like a son to him. The two share an emotional hug and then cuts to them leaving the mansion behind as Bruce looks out the window of the limo. "Where too Alfred?" asks Bruce, and Alfred answers "I have an uncle in London... with a pretty big house... maybe he'd like a room mate or two..."
(Gag-ending, tribute to Heath Ledger)
Meanwhile at Arkham, Edward Nigma is being sent inside to a high-security cell. the doctor is a female named Harleen Francis Quinzel is walkign Edward inside in chains, She then whispers into his ear "I hope you don’t mind your room mate". She walks Edward to a large metal door that slowly slides open. Edward looks scared but then walks inside, The Door slowly closes as the doctor says "I bet you guys will have alot of laughs! see ya later toots!"
The Room is too dark to see anything, till the crack of light from the bared window exposes the back of someone’s head with green greasy hair. Edward panics and gasps, then The Jokers voice is herd "Hey Boss..." and Heath Ledger's Joker laugh is sustained till the credits roll.
and THAT'S how i think Batman3 should be... of course this is just a basic idea without the details... just add some over-the-tope scenes and some more plot angles and a little more climax... and i think it would be the perfect film to end the Nolan Batman films, along with a final "Curtain Call" for The Joker in tribute of Heath, for he deserves a "Closure" of his character of the movie he'll be remembered in forever.
anyways, if ya dont like it, cool, i HIGHLY doubt the movie will be anything like my veiw of it, but i just thought it would be awesome to share with ya'll!!
Comments are welcome!! if ya love it, awesome, if ya hate it, still awesome!! its just my opinion!!
