I’m sure we said this before, but more and more movies are looking to the magic three mark when they are on a topic that has enough material, let’s say Batman for example, and it looks like that’s just where they’re headed. Yes, you didn’t get that wrong, Batman Begins isn’t even out in the cinema’s yet.
Empire are carrying the story of David Goyer talking about the plot of the next two movies:
“The next one would have Batman enlisting the aid of Gordon and Dent in bringing down the Joker… but not killing him, which is a mistake they made in the first one,” Batwriter David Goyer tells the latest issue of US movie magazine Premiere. “In the third, the Joker would go on trial, scarring Dent in the process.”
I will make the assumption you are by now familiar with who these characters all are. I think it’s fair to say that we were all realising that this new Batman was back to the original, dark, tortured and not all that good really, i.e. it’s been done the right way. So it’s great news to hear that any plans for sequels are being thought through with the same viewpoint and intelligence, and the previous movies totally forgotten about so that there’s no desire to write them towards a pre-determined point.
Doesn’t the plot sound really close to the comics? I’m excited about this, and I’m more than happy to hand over cash to this movie to help the sequels get greenlit. Is this exciting news for you?
