We all want a sequel, but why not a continuation? A sequel is basically a second story taking place after much time since the story in the first movie. But a continuation picks up where the previous film left off.
The Back to the Future trilogy, The Godfather (1-2 mostly I believe), and the first two Superman movies are all examples of this.
So if BB2 is a continuation, the second story would cut from the lasy shot of Batman gliding at the end of BB. From that: Wayne Manor would be in the rebuilding process so Wayne would live in a penthouse, a reference to the O'Neil/Adams era. And since Batman would have already gotten the Joker card, the detective skills would kick in and be use for the film on the Joker.
Thoughts?

I don't know. I can see the point of a direct continuation, but I think it would be better for them to skip ahead a bit (not a lot, only a month or two). It's too bad that everyone would compare it to Batman Returns, because it would be interesting to see Gotham in the fall/winter months. |

Depends how it all plays out I suppose. Sometimes certain details aren't all that necessary in telling a story and it works to skip ahead a few weeks or a month. It should connect pretty closey either way, as it was set up like that. But if it goes anything like Back to the Future, I can't help but wonder who's the equivalent to Marty's girlfriend. I sure hope Gary Oldman isn't replaced in the next film. ::yellowsmile::
