was going to be in Batman 3 especially since Heath Ledger couldn't
reprise his role of the Joker. Well you couldn't go to an internet forum
without hearing people theorize that it's going to be the Riddler
because of Mister Reese - get it - 'mysteries'. Even though the Riddler
was always called Edward Nygma unfortunately Chris Nolan succumbed to
the peer pressure of the Internet and is putting Riddler in his next
movie. He could've had a great movie like the one I try to describe here,
but instead he was forced to add in the Riddler and now it's going to look more like this:
Batman meets Selina Kyle and they fall in love. One day Bruce Wayne fires
Mister Reese for making up fraudulent reports. Next Commissioner Gordon
makes a new discovery in the murder of Batman's parents revealing that
Joe Chill never shot them, but it was actually the actor Basil Karlo.
Basil Karlo is on the run and accidentally falls into some kind of
research lab where he turns into Clayface. Batman's new mechanized suit
gets a virus in it causing him to lose his mind. Bruce starts walking
down the streets of Gotham sporting a popped collar. In reality this
virus was caused by Mister Reese now known as the Riddler. After Batman
nearly kills Clayface in a subway station, he flies on top of a church
and claws his way out of the suit. Riddler seizes the suit and
refashions it for his own purposes. Now the Riddler and Clayface team up
to take down Batman. They kidnap Selina Kyle and connect her to a
Riddler device on top of a building under construction. Batman tries to
take down a gigantic Clayface but is nearly killed as a television
reporter comments on it. Then out of nowhere Scarecrow comes in the Bat
plane and fires fear bombs at Clayface. Clayface gets scared and runs
away. Then Scarecrow and Batman team up to take down the Riddler.
Riddler seems to be holding his own until Scarecrow gets stabbed by a
Riddler trap. Selina comforts Scarecrow as Batman takes down Riddler by
trapping him in his own puzzle. Riddler refusing to go to jail,
activates a self destruct sequence in the Riddler suit destroying him.
As Scarecrow dies, Clayface appears and apologizes to Bruce Wayne for
killing his parents. Batman forgives him and then Clayface says that he
is going to go find and take care of his daughter. Batman and Selina get
married and then the movie ends.
How adorable, I wish they would just die.
But even if Batman 3 resembles this, it would still be a thousand times better than a movie version of Batman R.I.P. ... of course I would still be there opening night.
Update: Chris Nolan has announced that Batman 3 would be called Dark Knight Rises. While the title may not be the greatest (but can you blame him for putting Dark Knight in the title?), he did confirm that the Riddler will not be in the final (which has me greatly excited right there) Batman movie.
