Dark Knight follow-up plot details?
Cinema Blend has what it believes are details on the follow-up to The Dark Knight. Just as Knight is inspired by the Batman graphic novel The Long Halloween, its sequel will be inspired by Halloween’s follow-up, Dark Victory. Interestingly, Victory primarily focused on Two-Face as the villain, while also introducing Batman’s sidekick Robin.

And I think that knowing the story of The Dark Knight, it leaves you anticipating something that really can get very, very interesting for a third.
