Now that a sequel is officially in the works, I look forward to seeing how the Dark Knight bursts onto the scene next. Instead of launching a surprise attack on Lex Luthor’s (Jesse Eisenberg) goons holding Martha Kent (Diane Lane) at their hideout from above, Batfleck comes in from below by blasting a hole in the floor that, likely, sends one goon falling to his death. Moments later, Robin (Chris O’Donnell) nearly one-ups his partner’s entrance, leaving a hole that perfectly resembles the shape of his insignia when he bursts through a wall on his motorcycle. Bats does not even stop to shake off any of the residual glass bits that likely got into his suit before apprehending Lau’s bodyguards and taking him back to Gotham to be properly tried. In addition to being one of the Dark Knight's least damaging cinematic entrances, this zip-line stunt sets itself apart from the one in 1989's Batman for showing him fly in hands-free and wings-spread. Photojournalist Vicki Vale's (Kim Basinger) meeting with Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson) at Gotham City’s Flugelheim Museum turns especially ugly when the eccentric career criminal's identity as the Joker is suddenly revealed.
