I loved it, saw it in IMAX and it was totally worth it.
I'm really curious about who the villain will be for the next film
Some thoughts on the next film:
Set in and based on Arkham Asylum which could be a hunt for a
that we never actually see.
Batman vs. Superman, I don't know how this could be pulled off in any other way than in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, but it seems implausible but not impossible.
Thematically, though, I get the impression that the next film will be centred around elections. We've now had a taste of the light and dark sides of terrorism in Batman Begins, and the struggle of the hero to pass the mantle or become the villain
This leads me to believe that the themes are climbing higher in the levels of government, which has me thinking elections. We'll see though, these are just trains of thought attempting to extrapolate the next logical focus of the Batman from the last two Nolan films.
I think any chance that we'll see Bane is completely ridiculous. Poison Ivy, and Mister Freeze also seem too flamboyant for Nolan, but a version of the Riddler seems possible, if not perhaps a little to close to the Joker.
Killer Croc doesn't seem deep enough a character, Clayface is too surreal, but Penguin might make a comeback.
