hope nolan's/dc's bright enough to know finality doesn't necessarily mean offing the lead so much as completing an arc. Bale can just be like "ah, a job well done, time for a nap" after putting Gotham in a happy place. Batman doesn't have to announce his retirement or turn into a franchise or anything. And then they don't have to go to great lengths to say Justice League Batman 2014 has absolutely nothing to do with the dead/retired batman you saw two years ago.

Read that as 'Bane' initially and was all "Well that's one way to look at it..."

I kind of assume that with all the "WILL HE DIE?" angles in the trailers, there's no way they'll actually kill him.

They're going to kill everyone *but* Batman, and he'll be left looking over the smoldering remains of Gotham thinking, "what now?"

bane will fuck batman up and throw him in a well, then batman will mope in a wheelchair while gotham cries out "why hath the batman forsaken us?," catwoman and JGL search for sad beardo bruce wayne, find him, there's a physical therapy & training montage, some people die, batman lives on with ETERNAL GUILT

Probably Catwoman or Marion Cotillard, because Nolan always kills a woman to give his lead something to angst over.

wouldn't be surprised if they did something kinda like the end of the dark knight returns, though, with bats and/or wayne appearing to die

Marion Cotillard is gonna be the villain, cozy up to Bruce Wayne and then BAM he wakes up with Bane throwing him in a pit

Comic movie reboots are in keeping with a proud tradition: new artist/writer, new comic.
I totally don't have a problem with this. I do have a problem with telling the same origin story over and over.

^^^also this
the first two movies made a big deal about how physically punishing the batman line of work is, i wonder if the third won't go to something permanent

batman gets broken back, wayne corps develops groundbreaking medical appliances, gotham's economy is revived by the growth of its biotech & manufacturing sectors, crime goes down. a rising dark knight raises all boats.

for ex. Singer's "Superman" reboot was totally stupid but at least it wasn't a retread of material

any bets on whether Liam Neeson shows up in this in flashbacks or if he's actually in some part?

I honestly didn't mind it. I thought Kevin Spacey was the wrong pick for Lex Luthor.

Unless Nolan goes balls-out and actually brings in the Lazarus Pit to re-introduce Neeson/heal Bruce Wayne after Bane fucks him up.

Nolan won't bring in anything explicitly magical/unrealistic
― Roger Barfing (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 16:24 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's actually not a bad idea to let Nolan get real dark before a reboot, considering audiences wound up giving more money to Batman Forever than Batman Returns. Though it depends how dark is dark and how much the next movie is really a "reboot".

He's always grounded that stuff as cutting-edge Wayne Industries/military R&D stuff, though.
