I really wanted to see Lando turn into Two-Face in Batman Returns.

He was always Harvey Dent. Curt Conners was in all three of Raimi's Spiderman movies and they never did anything with him

Star Wars when Obi-Wan discussed how he and Anakin were friends and not people always bitching at each other.

There was no hint for Billy Dee to become Two-Face in Batman. Dent was a character. He just never developed into Two-Face in Burton's universe.
However, technically Batman Forever was a sequel to Batman Returns.

pretty sure billy d only took the role with the understanding he would become two face
quote:
n Batman (1989) Billy Dee Williams played District Attorney Harvey Dent, with the promise that he would become Two-Face in the third film of Tim Burton’s Batman franchise. Unfortunately, Burton was escorted out of the Bat-verse for being “too dark,” and not just by an atmospheric standpoint: Batman Returns was literally so dark, that movie-goers had trouble even telling what was happening on screen. Three years later, Burton would be replaced by Joel Schumacher, who in turn cast Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Face and took the series in a cartoonish new direction that will forever live in Bat-Infamy.

Except for playing the character that becomes Two-Face in every single iteration of Batman.

Yeah, but him taking the role due to an understanding is different than it being teased in the movie.

As pointed out earlier, Raimi didn't do anything with Curt Conners.

Are you having trouble reading the OP?
Those are exactly the situations meant when it says "hinted at...but not explored"
Having their alter-egos show up is hints that those villains may be in sequels.

When they "hinted" that Ryan Reynolds was Deadpool in X-Men Origins but turned him in to laser-eyed sword-hands instead.

Not a sequel, but we saw the pre-powered versions of The Leader and Doc Samson in The Incredible Hulk. Hulk will appear in two Avengers movies before we'll see a sequel... no further mentions of Leader/Samson.

Not at all, dickhead.
Dent was the fricking DA. It's kinda hard to leave him out of the movie.

There's the Human Torch Easter egg in Captain America: The First Avenger. Wondering if the origin of The Vision will have a mention of Dr. Horton's android.

I don't recall the movie being hard to watch.
However, there was a Batman Returns puzzle that my brothers and I put together. It looked sort of like this:
Imagine trying to fit 500 entirely black pieces together. What a bitch

The "darkness" was the violence and minor gore that kept it from being even close to a kids movie. You could tell that Devito was embarrassed by the final cut during his interviews at the premiere.

Why'd you have to put salt in that wound?

You're right, it takes a real master of film like Nolan to come up with the idea of putting some generic, forget his name bc his character didn't matter in the role of DA ala batman begins.
These characters were purposely included to hint at possible future movies that never got explored.

Even Wade Wilson's healing factor can't heal that wound.
