i have a great idea for the plot of "batman 3" set right after the dark knight, this is not a complete script or anything, just a rough idea. will any of this be a part of the movie? probably not, but it's all for fun.
OK so now batman is on the run, Harvey dent is dead, Gordon has to pretend not to know batman is innocent so that dent is not deemed insane and all the mob bosses go free. skip ahead one or two years. all the major crime bosses of Gotham are locked up, but a few new ones have moved in to take their places, not as powerful or well organised, but still dangerous and fighting for power.
commishioner james "dracula" gordon
the police are going nuts trying to find batman, lots of crazy people from the fear toxin pop up every so often and do stuff, weird stuff. they burn buildings and property for no reason, break into museum's and steal strange statues and paintings, all kinds of weird stuff.
the newest crime boss in Gotham is roman sionis, established business man, but few know he's now one of the biggest bosses in Gotham. and he has a vendetta against Wayne. you see roman hated his father, so much so he had him murdered, inherited his company and began to run it into the ground. that is until Bruce Wayne stepped in and bought the company, because Mr sionis was his fathers friend.
i swear to god this is batman "NO SWEAR TO ME!!"
now the police cant track batman, they cant catch batman, they cant even shoot batman because he gets back up and disappears into the night, so they hire a private investigator, former military analyst and spy Edward "enigma" nashton. he was kicked out of the military but no one seems to know why.
at this time Bruce Wayne is hosting a fund raiser for some kind of inner city charity at the newly rebuilt Wayne manor. there is all kinds of people there, including the new head of arkham asylum, Hugo strange. the only thing he cares to talk about is batman and the joker, and how he always gets a different diagnosis on him with different doctors, but he thinks his latest psychologist is making progress with him.he then quickly leaves. during said party armed men break into wane manor, there's a scuffle,and Wayne is kidnapped. Bruce is tied to a chair and gets beat up. he could easily escape and beat the snot out these guys, but he needs to keep his cover. just days before luscious had designed a suit he could wear under his clothes, though it has no armor, its a great sneaking suit. and it has a utility belt. maybe get the guy who played
iron monger in the first ironman to be him?
after a while they toss Wayne into a cell. sionis, not wanting Wayne to know who he is puts on his favorite mask, a black skull carved from his fathers coffin, and speaks to someone in the shadows, turns out it's Hugo strange, he's on sionis' payroll at arkham, and says he thinks that batman may just pop up sooner or later and that he has some hunches, based on the technology batman is known to have used in the past.
his phone rings, he listens and says in an angry tone "one more unauthorised visit and doctor quinnsel will be out of the medical profession for good!" just then an explosion comes from Wayne's cell, Bruce took a small explosive out of the utility belt, blasts a hole in the wall from a tiny window(making it look like the wall imploded rather then exploded) and goes outside, and changes into his portable bat suit.
while sionis and his gang are looking out the hole, the batman comes down from the rafters inside the warehouse, one guy with a flame thrower (fans will know its firefly but no need to go into details) gets knocked out, but not before accidentally spraying sionis's face with a burst of flame and napalm.
strange is no where to be seen. batman knocks out a few guards, calls the cops from a signal to Gordon in his belt, and vanishes. a few moments later the cops find Wayne down the street from the building he was being held in, but it's empty no one is there. he's questioned by Gordon and several other cops, then nashton comes in. and asks very detailed questions...he ends the interview with "well Mr Wayne, as much as i must say that the batman is a criminal, a psychopath and a murderer...i think your.....lucky he showed up when he did" as Wayne goes home, he tells Alfred "i think this nashton guy could be a problem"
now we see a doctor trying to operate on sionis, "i don't think i can help....the napalm....it burned the mask into his facial structure....removing it could kill him..." jump to arkham asylum in the somewhat rebuilt narrows. strange is arguing with a woman "this patient is not someone you pay a visit to! he's responsible for at least several deaths including a judge and police commissioner, and god knows how many more!" 'Your...right sir, i apolagize" a thin, blond psychologist says with a sort of hillbilly, valley girl mix voice. "i have to take you off the joker case. i fear he may be....too suggestive for one doctor to examine." "but docta strange!" just then someone knocks on the office door and walks in "Dr strange? i am Edward nashton with the GCPD...i need to speak with you about...the batman problem" "we'll continue this discussion later ms. quinsell!" she thumps out, in a strange, cartoonish sort of way.
strange and nashton talk, blah blah blah strange knows for sure now that Wayne is batman, he did not know what happened when he ran out of the warehouse, but now he is certain....what to do with such information! nashton however is still oblivious to the fact..."you know eddy, you talk too much and are not that smart as you like to think, now let me get back to my business." this makes nashton very upset. flashback to when he was young, his father use to beat him and say to him he's "a dummy even though he plays with all them puzzles and games and crap" "no...I'll show everyone".
he then goes on and kidnaps random people, puts them in a game and kills them if they not do not figure out his riddles...Ala saw or something like that. the media call him 'the riddle killer, or the riddler'
next he kidnaps Batman's friend and ally, luscious fox. luscious is one smart guy though, and gets an SOS out to Bruce. batman traces the signal, finds the Riddler, solves all kinds of scary, ugly, sick riddles and puzzles and locks up the riddle killer. however how did he get the funding for the mazes and traps he set up? not a cops salary, and no money to speak of from the government....sionis. see he's alive, and calls himself the black mask now. and he wants Wayne, AND BATMAN DEAD hence helping nashton in taking luscious hostage, to lure out Wayne who may or may not lure out the batman...but of course now he could kill batman. "i hired a little help to take you out you f-ing freak. this is 'death stroke' " a guy who clearly had a stroke several years ago comes out of no where with two swords, and gives batman a tough fight...he fights like...ra's al ghoul....he's with the league of shadows! but they all died.....batman barley beats the seemingly handicapped ninja guy, locks up sionis, because he tapped his confession to kidnapping Wayne and taking over what was left of the Moroni family,
harley and joker. an attractive,terrifiing, murderous,match made in hell 
and all if well....except....cut back to arkham asylum. the joker is in his cell. the door opens and he looks up, wrapped in a strait jacket and with a muzzle on his mouth, "mista' J, care ta' take a lil' midnight stroll with ya best gal pal harleyquin? " it's quinzell, she killed the guards and broke the joker out of his cell, and dressed like a demented harlequin or clown. credits roll.
after credits scene: cut to the Himalaya mountains, the old league of shadows base is show. could the league still be around? camera zooms through the building, you see a really messed up ra's al ghoul laying in a pool of green liquid telling his daughter Talia to destroy Bruce Wayne and Gotham....
above: liam neeson as ra's al ghul "the demon" and his daughter, the beutiful talia al ghul, who has a romance with batman
maybe it sucks but it sounds better in my head. alternatively, instead of nashton being a cop, he could be hired by sionis, i think that may sound better....who should play the characters? do you have a better idea? will any of this make it into the new movie? i highly doubt it since director Christopher Nolan said joker would not be returning and that more fantastical things (like the Lazarus pits) are not a part of his world. so let your imagination run wild, the sequel to the dark knight releases July 2012
