Will the sequel be "more fun"?

In what ways do you think the Batman Begins sequel will be different? I didn't mind this one being extra serious for the sake of erasing the stain of the other four movies, but I hope the next one is shorter and more titillating. Obviously there won't be a need for the same level of tedious exposition in the sequel because they've gotten that out of the way. I had hoped that the Scarecrow would have had a more major role, seeing as he is perhaps the most interesting villain in Begins, being more "larger than life" than Ra's Al Ghul. If the Joker is the villain of the next one though, I think it should be inheriently more fun.

By fun do you mean a lighter more neon movie? Because if you want that then just watch Batman and Robin over and over again.

Please don't insult me like that. If I wanted to have my intelligence insulted then watching Batman and Robin is what I'd be doing. I'd rather Begins was more realistic than the other extreme, but I just don't want the sequel to be long-winded and boring.

I want just a tad more humor but nothing extravagant. I think the next one will be more enjoyable because he'll have more toys and for the people that see the movie solely for action, won't have to 'sit through the arduous plot" lol

LoL no i was by no means insulting you. Im terribly sorry if you thought I was.

All I want from the sequel is better fight scenes.

yea

i do hope the next one has a GOOD story, and has near the same length as it was. This movie was serious and extreme yet very cool.

I dont want them to move over to just doing action now that they covered the stroy of how it began out of the way. Then it would just involve into lame ass batman forever and batman and robin.

i hope the next move is almost as stone cold as this one with a little bit of light humor and fun added in.

Yeah they've gotta keep up the serious tone, it makes it so much better

Oh please, they should not make it any different, I loved the tone of Begins, it humanized the characters much better. Alfred was the source of the humor in Begins and he should do the same in the next. Joker is more than likely going to be next villain (why else would they set up his character in Begins?) but I want him to be evil, maniacal not much humor.

Batman Begins did everything right to me. I don't think they need to change anything in the second one. To me Batman Begins was one of the best movies of the year. And would think the next one could top it.

I'd love to see Alfred get dosed with some of the Jokers laughing gas.

It was hilarious in the Animated Series, and it would be awesome in a movie.

I hope they keep it as close as possible to begins, honestly it was amazing and shouldn't be changed.

I hope it is just as serious. It is way better that way. I'm hoping that they will do Joker's character in part 2 what they did for Batman's in part 1. Part 1 revolved around the development of Batman. I really hope that they spend a ton of time in part 2 developing Joker. Character development is the key.

I think everyone is concentrating too much on Bale, Freeman, Caine, and who will be next Joker that there isn't much appreciation for Gary Oldman. He defenetly has to return to the role of Jim Gordon. He absolutely was brilliant in that role. Hopefully for the sequel he gets the rank of Commissioner.

One of the first things I said when leaving the theatre was how perfect I thought Oldman was.

Yeah I totally agree with ken.

Gary Oldman was amazing in Begins.
