My Batman 3

Okay, I've had this idea for a REALLY LONG TIME (like ever since TDK was released) and I have wanted to write this down for a while. Now I think I will.

Plot Summary to Batman 3:

It's a couple years after the events of The Dark Knight. Batman is being hunted by the Gotham City Police. Commissioner Gordon leads the force, but secretly aids Batman in dodging the cops. All while this is happening, a new crime boss has risen to fill the place left by Carmine "The Roman" Falcone and Salvatore Maroni. His name is Oswald Cobblepot, but in the underground world he is known simply as "The Penguin"! The Penguin is a cunning crook and he reunifies Gotham under his criminal leadership. He, along with the Batman, are the GCPD's biggest problem. But the Penguin is well protected, and Batman is no easy catch. The repeated failure of the police bring cause for assistance. The mayor brings in legendary detective Edward Nigma to help the police track down Batman. Nigma's skills nearly rival those of the Batman and the two are almost evenly matched. But still, the ever elusive and intelligent Batman always seems to escape, leading Nigma to become frustrated. He becomes purely obsessed with the caped crusader. At one point, he decides that the only way to catch a crazed, masked warrior, is to become one himself! Thus he dons the guise of the Riddler, and goes to the streets to commit crime and lure Batman to him.

This is about half the movie, but you can see where it's going. This is what I think should be the story of the film. It would be great to see a battle of the mind between Batman and a foe of great measure, the Riddler. All the while having the crazy mob boss the Penguin in the mix, who might possibly form an alliance with Riddler to take down Batman. It would be able to delve into the insanity of obsession, the desperation of crime and, in the end, the redemption of a hero. It'd be the perfect way to end the series.

And that's my ideal Batman 3.
