Here is an actual way to make TDKR worse. Have the death of Heath Ledger really terribly affect Nolan, and as a result Nolan quits. Upset at the loss of the director, Bale refuses as well. Without Nolan to push for the story, the Riddler is included as the villain for the third film. The main villain that is. The storyline is based off of the Primal Riddle and Catwoman In Rome. As such Catwoman joins the cast. And in a third role, as the red herring, is the Joker, played by a new actor completely.
