It was the right move to take a break after Clooney even if they wanted to go darker right then and there. Triumphant without him could've been reworked to be less of a Burton/Schumacher era finale, but chances are the new actor would've also been one and done. That would have been three actors in a row with that tag, which isn't a good look. Bale gave the franchise a better chance for long term stability with a cleaner foundation to start again.

This guy does an extended retrospective of the two Schumacher films. Some of his conclusions are obvious, of course. But others are less obvious. All in all, worth watching.
