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?
You don't get it, boy... this isn't a mudhole... it's an operating table.

RE: Instead of a SEQUEL, how about a CONTINUATION?
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::
