It would be the stupidest story ever if they try to squeeze it into two hours.
First ten minutes: Introduce the characters with previous movies recapped, whatnot:
Fifteen more minutes: Introduce a couple of villains then the quake.
Ten minutes of politics. That's how long it takes for America to kill a city.
Ten minutes of Black Monday, centering around Gordon.
Fifteen minutes showing what all the characters are doing...
So in the first half of the movie, we've covered... the prelude. One more hour to talk about the origin of Cassandra Cain, Bats getting a foothold, Huntress as Batgirl, "Oracle. Call them.", Bane coming back, the alliance between Harvey and Gordon, the fall of Two-Face, the Joker, and Lex Luthor's coming before the liberation of Gotham.
How's this: a season of a Batman TV show. That way, we could also have Fear of Faith (one of my favorite Batstories ever) Fruit of the Earth, Jurispendance, Bread and Circuses, etc. etc.
