Two-Faced Bane?

Since Two-Face died in THE DARK KNIGHT before he could even become anything he was in the comics (i.e: crime boss), it's hard to know what the Christopher & Jonathan Nolan's Batman series will make him out to be, but since Warner Bros apparently wants Robin to be introduced to the series, maybe Bane will kill Batman (like he did in the comics back in the early 1990s) and WB can re-start the series anew?  It'd kinda suck, but really, Christopher Nolan will die one of these days, and who wants Christian Bale playing Batman 'til he's 80?  Also, as interesting as the last two were, they weren't perfect.  I think the whole Batman big screen adapting is an experiment still.  People thought the Tim Burton films were untouchable, but then (eventually) everyone saw how great Batman Begins was and by the time The Dark Knight came out on video, Tim Burton's Batman films were out of print.  There'd be a lot of ifs and buts, but I think the public will at least someday have to face the idea of a new Batman series, if not a long-term absence from the big screen.  Batman is more suited for the small screen (i.e.: Batman: The Animated Series) anyhow.  After all, its origins were in comics books, which, at the time, were small stories spread out through even smaller installments.  The closest thing to that is a TV show, which is often used as a way to express movie-sized ideas as well.
