Christopher Nolan Back for Third Batman Film

[Vigormortis]

As good as this news is, I'm not surprised. Nolan seems to be pretty well enamored with the whole Batman mythos, so I'd be amazed if he didn't want to make the 3rd movie. Still, with how phenomenal The Dark Knight and Inception were, I'm unimaginably excited to see this film.

Who the hell are they gonna make the villain in a 3rd batman movie, I dont think Mr.Freeze and the Penguin will catch the eyes as much as the Joker did

It depends. Mr. Freeze is always going to be lame, but the Penguin could work out well. That is, if they use the original version of that villain. He was more like a gang boss than the ridiculous character he became in the cartoons and films.

Personally, I'm hoping Bane makes an appearance. He's one of the only villains, save the Joker, to ever actually defeat (and nearly kill) Batman.

Well he actually specifically said those two weren't possible as they couldn't be taken seriously

The rumours are it is the riddler, which they could do some really interesting stuff with.

They should bring in Catwoman, and focus more on her burglary and less of her sexiness. The Riddler seems like a pretty realistic character to beginw with

It's funny, I just had a dream that the 3rd Nolan Batman movie came out, for several weeks. Despite having watched TDK maybe a thousand times, I still hadn't seen it in my dream.

what a good thing to home from work and read...thank you Escapist...thank you...

I think hell make a great film but you can tell from the Dark Knight that the Joker was supposed to be a major part of the third movie but we'll never know how great that could have been

Riddler, I'm sceptical but the Joker turned cool? The Riddler should be possible.

heath ledger did a good job with the joker, but its by no means the best acting i have ever seen. if they hire a good actor for the villain, im not worried about dark knight overshadowing this movie.

i loved dark knight but one thing really annoyed me about it, two face. i feel like they pulled a spiderman 3, where they introduce a popular villain for like the last 15 minutes, and then kill him off. that didnt detract from the movie, it was still the best movie ive seen in a long time. its just that two face is my favorite batman villain and i feel they could have done so much more with him. i think we can all agree that arnold schwarzenegger need to come back and play mr. freeze again, "do you know what killed the dinosaurs...? the ice age!" hahahahaha (please, no one take that seriously). or, he could just play a douchebag politician who's trying to kill video games

Considering I'm watching Batman Begins right now I think you can consider me pleased.

 

[RoyalWelsh]

This is very good news indeed. I can be happy now the film is once again in the hands of a brilliant director.

 

[Brnin8]

My money is on Calendar Man for the villain!

Seriously though, I think that riddler seems like a good fit. Although I would love to see a Bane appearance...

Avengers, Thor, Nolan's own Superman: Man of Steel, Green Lantern, Antman, Green Hornet, Spiderman, Deadpool, X-Men: First Class, R.E.D. ...

I have to say that of these, Avengers is the only one I'm reasonably certain will be worth seeing. I have some hopes for Thor, and Nolan's a capable enough director that his Superman might be worth a look. As for the rest... Time will tell, but what we've seen on many of them doesn't exactly make me leap for joy.

 

[CheapLobster]

Michael C. Hall needs to be the riddler, I'm tired of Johnny Depp... and he would make a better villain than most people seem to think...

 

[twm1709]

the only thing shocking here is it wasn´t announced sooner...

 

[Little Duck]

Please please please, let Nolan direct Mass Effect after Batman.

 

[qbanknight]

To the surprise of no one at all, but seriously it's cool he's confirmed and what not

 

[Deacon Cole]

The nightmare never ends.

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

Riiight, what was he gonna say? "No i'm afriad of money and fame. I refuse to do a 3rd batman"

...now i could understand it if he said no because he was afriad of Christan Bale.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

I think it's going to fail. I don't expect anyone to top Heath Ledger's performance, and I doubt the third can survive without such strong star power.

But...we don't know who's in it yet...

Alot of people had reservations about Ledger beforehand.

 

[Buizel91]

Bring Killer Croc in it!

or at least an enemy we haven't seen before...

Anyway least this is some good news =D

 

[katsumoto03]

well i have mixed feelings about this announcement. The dark knight will be hard to top with heath's performance as the joker. now i wonder if there are any truth to the rumors that the villian will be the riddler played by johnny depp

That wouldn't be bad.

I, for one, would watch it.
