Gary Oldman Plays it Cool Over Dark Knight Sequel

Gary 'Commisioner Gordon' Oldman let slip a some details about the next Batman movie, but keep it under your hat, ok?

Trusting Gary Oldman with sensitive information is like trusting the Cookie Monster with your Double Stuf Oreos. He just can't help himself:

"We start filming the next 'Batman' next year, which means it won't come out for another two years," he said during a preview of his latest film, adding, "but you didn't hear that from me."

It's probably safe to say that no one is actually surprised by this 'slip', the Dark Knight made more than a billion dollars after all, but it's nice to have it confirmed nonetheless.

What we don't know yet is who else will be appearing in the film. This time last year names like Johnny Depp, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Angelina Jolie were being thrown around, but as yet it's all just rumor. Still, if they let Oldman know, he'll let us know.

Of course we didn't hear that from him when it was just shown he said that. Glad about the sequel news though, it'll most likely feature the Riddler and I don't know how they can trump the Dark Knight.

Hopefully this movie won't be that much worse than the Dark Knight, because personally, I thought that the Dark Knight was only above average at best. Although I love the Riddler, so I hope that he will be in it.

Clock King better be in this.

If anyone asks me ill just blame IMDB, cos gary oldman might turn back into dracula and hunt me down. So basically 3 years until the next one, god why does that seem like such a long time from now?

either that or he'll turn into a werewolf and we'll be forced to crucio him

I just hope that Joel Schumacher plays the next villain, that way we'd get to see Christian Bale throw him off a building...

Blasphemy, the Dark Knight was amazing! Bad quoter, bad! Besides the Riddler isn't that interesting a character.

Nice avatar though.

I liked it, I just thought that it was far too overrated, partially due to Heath Ledger's untimely death. I did like the darkness it had though, and part of my dislike was Batman. I hated him so much in that movie. And the Riddler is my favorite because he is the only Batman villain other than Joker and Penguin that I remember fondly.

He's such a friendly looking guy, who wouldn't trust him with "secrets"?

Christian Bale's the worst Batman I've ever seen, it should've just been a movie about The Joker and it would've been 100 times better.

hahaha... as much as I disagree with peoples view of the Schumacher batman movies (I liked the old Batman series, and I like that campy style.. If you like the Batman series from the 60s and see the schumacher movies in that light, they are pretty good), that would be fitting.

Christian Bale's ok.. I just wish he didn't do "the batman voice".. his bruce wayne voice is plenty gruff enough to make it believable as the dark knight.

You know who needs to be in this? Jewel Staite.
I can see her playing... Someone, but it would be awesome!

On Topic: It's good to hear that the next Batman is confirmed.

The movies took a plunge in quality after Adam West left. I mean, how am I supposed to take them seriously without the POW! coming up on screen?

Odd, I immediately thought of her as Harley Quinn.

That's casting against type, I know, but when you think of it Oldman himself has played a lot of less-than-clean-cut characters... I mean, Pontius Pilate, Zorg, Sid Vicious, even Lee Harvey Oswald!
