Batman III Nolan's vision of Batman was only good with Heath Ledger. So Heath is dead and therefore he should not make any more.

I can't help but see this statement as really freakin' weird, considering Heath Ledger was only in one out of the two Nolan Batman films. Seems odd to say that the series is no good without him and ought to die with him, when it didn't even start with him in the first place. Would you really want three Batman films featuring the Joker

I really think the Heath Ledger thing is a bunch of bullshit anyway. Sure, he had an interesting take on the Joker, but it was way too over hyped. Might have been impressed with it if we hadn't all been bombarded with half orgasmic news stories about how brilliant Ledger's Joker was for months after his death. By the time I did actually see his preformance in the movie, I didn't find it quite as brilliant as it was hyped to be, and the fact that the movie was pretty uneven and at some points nonsensical really didn't help impress me much. I think most people just found it orgasmically amazing, because the idea that it was orgasmically amazing was shoved down all of our throats literally for months before the films release.

Since The Dark Knight ended on a really weak cliff hanger, I think a trilogy might not be a bad idea, just to finish off the story and recover for the dip it took with DK. But I definitely don't think we need more than that.

I also think a 3rd film is the best idea just to get this version of Batman into the bat cave, and into a kind of format that would work if the series was handed over to a new team (not re-booted}. But only if they plan to do a series of stories with an older Batman (and 12 year old Robin) a few years down the road from this one.
