The Dark Knight (SPOILERS START ON PAGE 3)
johnny5:
Even if there wasn't a need for any sequels, everyone knew there would be more. Besides, the way the movies both ended, it practically said, hey, we're doing more movies. i would love to see 2 more though, instead of every franchise ending in 3 movies.
Statik:
After many discussions with friends who have seen DK, and reading the posts on here, my personal belief is that Bane would be the logical choice for a (potential) third movie. Given, I dont know the Batman comics as well as some, so there may be people I am missing, but, as mentioned before, the logical choices could be (with my own reasoning):
Harley - easily enough to explain where she came from.... possible to make a 2+ hour movie with just her as the sole (primary) villain? I doubt it. Easily explainable back story though... maybe a support villain role?
Riddler - It's possible to give him a legit/realistic back story... and while many people who enjoy the character might enjoy seeing him done well on the big screen, I don't think the masses would differentiate the Riddler from the Joker. I mean, Riddler, from what I know, isn't nearly as sadistic as Joker is, but really, I think everyone who sees Riddler is going to automatically compare him to the Joker. I would be shocked if the Nolans chose him for the third installment.
Bane - Given the finale of DK, I think Bane could be easily reworked to be a Bounty Hunter / Hitman / Mercenary, who is trying to catch / kill / break the batman for a reward / payday / fun, because the public / mob / inmates don't want the Batman around anymore.
I think, given Nolans direction with the new Batmans, to me, Bane seems like the logical choice (removing the whole Venom drug thing). And personally I like the mask (maybe not a gimp mask) but I'm sure they could make it look cool, and probably give a good explanation for why he wears it.
My 2cents.
Also... Pencil Trick = awesome. But I think the best scene with the Joker is still the one with him driving the cop car (As seen in the trailer) with his head out the window... There was just something in that shot... I dunno what....

The way the camera moves in that shot just looks cool. They mounted it on the front of the car, I'm almost certain, so the background shifts while the foreground stayed stationary, pretty cool effect.
Dimmukane:
If you ask me, that shot defines the Joker. He is a man without cares, even while being chased by the cops. He just looks like someone who is completely content with himself, regardless of what he is and does.
Bayley:
yes i agree. i find it funny that his accomplishing ultimate personal liberation is only one step away from being entirely incompatible with society. less than one step, really. the second i cut in line at the supermarket, because i simply couldn't give a fuck whether or not YOU think that makes me an asshole, I have become (in the eyes of most people in line) completely out-of-step with their social order.
interesting, i guess. living peaceably with other people requires succumbing to social pressure to conform. it requires a certain amount of anxiety, a will to homogeny.
up the punx, smash the state and all that.
