Batman 3 news/rumor

I don’t really like reporting rumours due to the fact that 90% of the time it’s just people making up stuff so that people check out their website but as a huge fan of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight this one perked my ears! According to batman-on-film there should be some sort announcement regarding Batman 3 January 2010, what they say is extremely vague and no official source was named so you can take from that what you want. I can imagine Warner Brothers would want to get this film rolling as soon as possible due to the massive success of The Dark Knight commercially, critically and from the audience itself. Christian Bale isn’t attached to any films at the moment (The Fighter finished filming a month or so back) and Christopher Nolan has almost finished shooting Inception (his top secret sci-fi action thriller ’set within the architecture of the mind’ due for release July 16th 2010) so you never know. I can’t see this shooting any earlier than late 2010/early 2011. Talk on someone other than Christopher Nolan directing this seems ridiculous to me.

There’s some scuttlebutt that in early 2010, Warner Bros. and Chris Nolan will finalize the plan for BATMAN 3, according to a solid and longtime BOF source. Whether there will be an announcement or not remains to be seen.

Our guy told BOF that in his opinion, the longer we don’t here a Nolan/B3 announcement in 2010, the less likely it is that the director will return. (I don’t know if I necessarily agree with that since I’m of the belief that Chris has already signed on.)
