If this one's anything like the first, it is sure to be great.

One of the hot topics of the discussion of the movie is who will play the Joker? They are currently in talks with Lachy Hulme, which could be a good decision. Personally, I'm hoping for Paul Bettany. He's got a lot of potential, and this could be what he needs for a huge career booster (he may be a lot more popular by 2008 anyway).

Why not create an all new villain. Why keep bring back 50 year old Batman villains in every movie?

A new villain wouldn't work in a Batman movie. You'd have everyone complaining and then there would be no-more movies.

A sequel to Batman Begins sounds great!

I think a candidate for the title is Batman Continues. Can't really think of anything else that makes sense.

Considering they're dropping Katie Holmes from the cast, who would you pick to replace her as Bruce Wayne's love interest?

How about no love interest ?
Bruce or Batman rarely have any relationship anyways, they could focus more on the story.
That's the thing I dislike about spiderman or superman, the love interest.

The other thing I hate is the part where the bad guy/love interest/other find out about the secret identity.

I'd like a superhero movie with no love interest/someone finding out the secret ID... for a change...

I can't wait for this. I loved BB and Morgan Freeman as Luscious Fox love , and the guy who played Alfred, as well. I love the whole cast! Except Katie Holmes, who made me cringe a bit. Cillian Murphy, wasn't that great either; I like him as an actor, but he just didn't do that great as Scarecrow, IMO.

I really hope they bring in someone good as the Joker. I know there was rumors going around with the fans about Johnny Depp, which I think wouldn't be that great, and as much as I love Johnny; I don't think the role is good for him.

Kinda also interested in what they'll come up with for a title.

How many films is Christain Bale signed on for Bruce Wayne/Batman? (he's did incredibly awesome in BB)

I also agree about Batman/Bruce Wayne not having a love interest, that would suck. I like the Spiderman/Superman movies, but yea kinda disappointing with the love interest crap.

Im not 100% certain, but I think that Bale is signed for two more movies.

That would be nice, but then the womenfolk won't go see it. They'll be all (does high voice) "I can't go see a movie if there's no romance in it! I'm a woman!"

I'm just glad we're past the origin part.

It seems their intentions are to make a Batman trilogy completely seperate from the other Batman films, with Christian Bale in all three and with a linear storyline with a resounding conflict resolution - so Id expect Liam Neeson back for the THIRD installment, not the second except for perhaps a hint at the end. Less important than whose going to play the Joker ( I heard a rumor a couple of months ago about Johnny Depp ) is that they bring back Nolan as the director as well Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and whoever that **** brilliant cinematographer was for BB. They better huury up and get started though. They already introduced the Joker as the villian and its been a year already. Visual continuity, most importantly in the appearances of Bale, Caine, and Freeman, will be a big factor.

Meh. I'm probably one of the few people on Earth that didn't like Batman Begins. The movie was boring and the Scarecrow was a sucky villain. The Batman movie franchise will never beat the Spider-Man or Superman movies. But at least Batman Begins was better than the Hulk. Barely.
