after losing burton as director, keaton knew when to quit. i'm sure bale will do the same if nolan leaves.

A lot of people seem mistaken... if this movie was done NONE of the cast should return. This is an older Batman, Gordon, etc. Not to mention Miller handles Batman in a more outrageous way that some would not like being connected to the original trilogy.

This is also not an origins story.

I don't mind seeing more Batman movies but we all know that the cast and crew of other installments will most likely be different mainly because of money, etc. I think that if done right, this can happen. Harry Potter is a good model. So is the Bond series.

Here are my observations of what would make a long lasting franchise:
- Don't need to retell Batman's origin just continue with the story
- Expand the character base including Robin, Batgirl if relevant to the storyline
- Have strong plot for the movie with credible and challenging villain(s)
- For every sequel, build on the foundation of previous films
- As new characters, get introduced, used them when necessary, if not a lot at the introduction, may be in a later installment if the story warranted.

The Harry Potter franchise does this very well. Granted that it was meant to be a large series but this can work with Batman as well. The Bond series always portray Bond's adventures. Each "episode" is another adventure, another mission with some over all continuity.
