1)How are they going to top this?

1) Excellent. Brilliant.
2) I initially thought it was going to be Two-Face, but the end of the movie changed my mind. I don't see them doing the Riddler again, since Jim Carey was the Riddler in Batman Forever, which was an okay movie. I think there was some sort of Batman & Robin movie where they fought Poison Ivy and someone else, but that movie wasn't all that great if I remember correctly. I really don't think a sequel is necessary, but that may just be me.

Hey as long as it's not the Calendar Man, I think we're ok. Just please don't let it be Catwoman...
I think Deadshot or Firefily would be pretty cool.
KvP:
I liked the movie, but the more I think about it the more plot holes / contrivances jump out at me (why did Gordon fake his own death again?), and the more I dislike the direction they took with Two-Face. In the movie's he's just a rampaging, revenge-obsessed psychopath, which I guess is serviceable, but I remember in the Animated Series in particular (never was one for comics, unfortunately) Two-Face was actually somewhat conflicted, an actual headcase rather than a disfigured killer, and rather than the two-headed coin being a gimmick that he's more than willing to work around (as shown by the limousine scene where the coin spares the mob boss once but Two-Face kills him anyway through the driver) it's a real weakness of his. I remember an episode of B:TAS where Batman throws the coin in a pile of quarters, and Two-Face is completely incapacitated as he frantically and single-mindedly tries to find the coin, leaving him to be picked up by the cops. Eckhart's Two-Face is unfortunately not nearly as interesting. The only thing the movie can claim a definitive status on is the Joker as far as I'm concerned. I'm of the opinion that Two-Face should've gotten the third movie.
Johnny C:
Eckhart's Two-Face isn't as interesting as a guy with OCD...? Nolan provides us with a nuanced Dent and a legitimate dark side to that character. See his scene near the end with Ramirez - he's bound to the choice his coin makes. Sometimes he just has more than one choice.
Gordon faking his own death made sense insofar as his role in the MCU made him a very viable target for the Joker. What I didn't like as much about it was that I have no idea how he wound up driving Dent's van.

SPOILERS IN THIS POST
Gordon faked his own death so that the Joker wouldn't go after his family like Dent did in the end. I honestly thought the movie was over after the oil can scene. I was like 'Oh they'll continue this in the 3rd movie' I was very surprised when they continued for another hour or so. I was very pleased with the cameo by the Scarecrow.
One thing that bugged me was that they kept calling Batman "the Batman" it just bothered me.
I really want them to do the Riddler, he's one of my favourite Batman Villians.
