The Batmobile was destroyed so either Batman needs to just continue rolling around in his open-air Bat-pod or something new needs to be created. I remember when I first saw the Tumbler and thought how ridiculous it looked, then I saw it in action and couldn’t have been more impressed. On top of that we will get to see the rebirth of Wayne Manor and Bruce Wayne’s new Batcave. I considered adding the possibility of the Bat-plane to this section as well, but I think that would be a horrible mistake and would take away from the reality Nolan has fought so hard to create. Let’s keep Batman’s vehicles grounded. Oh, and let’s not bring back the Bat-fin for the Batmobile and I could do without the illuminated front end as well while you are at it.
Arkham has been mentioned in both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but we haven’t really gotten a good glimpse at its inner-workings, an oversight that could be remedied in a third film.
I don’t know about you, but hearing the endless barrage of “Johnny Depp should play ___________” in every upcoming movie is getting so old. I can’t imagine Chris Nolan turning to a name the size of Depp as his next villain and the amount of speculation surrounding his involvement I would say has pretty much killed any chance of him being cast, and the same goes for Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Names such as Daniel Day Lewis, Adrien Brody or maybe even Crispin Glover seem like more suitable choices for a Nolan-directed Batman film. Names that don’t say “Blockbuster Movie Star” but come with an abundance of talent and industry cred. Nolan told the Los Angeles Times if he was to make a third film he would want to scale back the spectacle and make a “very intimate, small story that happens to be photographed on a ridiculously large scale.” I just don’t see him going with the rumored villain names such as The Riddler, Penguin or Catwoman to satisfy such a concept.
I would like to see him journey back into the origins of Batman as a character of Detective Comics and perhaps have him involved in the search for a serial killer, bringing down the mob for good or something along those lines. I’m just brainstorming here.
