		<description><![CDATA[It's been four months since I have meaningfully written about Batman 3, a movie that most definitely WILL happen sometime over the next four years but as of 26.10.09, some 15 months after The Dark Knight was released in theatres, frustratingly, we are absolutely no closer to seeing the caped crusader back on our screens.

However my childlike impatience aside, the smart side of my brain is convinced that allowing breathing space for The Dark Knight and the whole Heath Ledger/Oscar microscope will only benefit the longevity of this compelling mainstream movie franchise. After all, despite the fact we haven't had as much as a breadcrumb of solid information to go on for well over a year now, anticipation for the next outing for these three guys is a hot as ever...
Chris Nolan, Michael Caine and Christian Bale, the three figureheads of the current
 Batman franchise mull over a scene in 2008's
The Dark Knight,the second highest grossing picture of all time.
A LITTLE INCEPTION KEEPS NOLAN BUSY
Director Chris Nolan has been spending the best part of the last year working on Inception, his big budget (anywhere between $150-180 million) original sci-fi project at Warner Bros. which is now in post-production for a release ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Gary Oldman may be playing us for fools, but during the Comic Con panel for his upcoming Denzel Washington apocalyptic thriller The Book of Eli, Commissioner Gordon himself claimed that production is ramping up on Batman 3 to shoot next summer, with the film coming out as early as 2011. 

Which contradicts all the official and unofficial scuttlebutt we have been hearing in the 12 months since The Dark Knight took over the summer of 2008. Oldman officially said...
“The next batman is next year, so I think it is two years away. But you didn’t hear it from me.”
Which is about as far and away from the usual answer of "well it depends what happens with Chris" which everyone involved in the series has answered with when inevitably cornered by journalists wanting to get this kind of scoop. 

Is Oldman telling the truth, has he got his wires crossed? 

Is Nolan on board... could he even possibly be on board considering he is mega busy on Inception, hardly a small sized flick. Of course it's feasible, but he would have to move onto the film straight away. Guess we'll find out later today as Quint from AICN has one-on-one time with Nolan, and he's already mentioned he is ...]]></description>

Scenario:
You are the head of Warner Bros. Comic Book Movies are huge business but your track record of producing them hasn't been consistent or stellar, with the exception of Watchmen and the Batman franchise. You watch with envious eyes as Marvel position themselves to a platform where they can release as many as six movies per year in the very near future, if their blueprint for success turns out the way they have planned.

2011 alone should see Spider-Man 4, Captain America and Thor, with possibly more TBA.

Marvel are winning the race but you have the Batman ace up your sleeve, a character who is possibly the most popular protagnist in the history of film. But you are starting to get nervous. Your director Christopher Nolan is seriously considering his future with the franchise, he may be ready to move on - you may be about lose your biggest asset. Christian Bale also begins to get cold feet too and is now confused over what is going on with the series.

You have given Chris Nolan 1/5th of The Dark Knight box office takings to make his science fiction epic Inception and to give him some time to clear his head as he ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I kind of promised myself I wouldn't talk about Batman 3 anymore until we had a little bit of concrete and officially released information to mull over but when Batman on Film run an "industry scuttlebutt" it's usually as good as anything you will read about The Caped Crusader anywhere.

Usually, the site is more trustworthy than official sources themselves.



After a long bit of downtime in this film's development (mainly because Nolan has put his attention to Inception right now), Jett received an email from a trusted industry source late last night who told him a couple of news tidbits which should carry a health warning to any die hard Batman fan who may be suffering from a dodgy heart. 

FIRST: That the death of Heath Ledger rocked Chris Nolan so much to the core that he was convinced in the months leading up to the release of The Dark Knight that he was done with this series and wouldn't return for a third movie. The original plan was to include The Joker in the third movie, but the source doesn't indicate whether this was before Heath Ledger's death.

TWO: The earliest of all estimates have Batman 3 scheduled for the summer of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chris Nolan will soon be spending several months in the company of the charming, beautiful and highly talented Marion Cotillard this summer, as last week we heard she had been cast in his original science fiction movie Inception.

The significance of the time spent with Cotillard on his future casting decisions may become evident when pre-production really kicks in for Batman 3, because Cotillard fits all the criteria that you would be looking for in a Selina Kyle. 

Aka a Catwoman, if you will. 



She has amazing femme fatale eyes. The kind that even Bruce Wayne who won't want to fall for a woman again after losing Rachel, will be hopeless to resist. In July we shall see her tame and fascinate Johnny Depp's notorious gangster John Dillinger and help drive crazy Daniel-Day Lewis' film director with her beauty in Nine. 

She is that kind of special creature of feminine perfection. The ones that Raymond Chandler and Ian Fleming would write about. 



She has a feistyness about her but also the down to Earth, girly natural laugh that Selina has in everyday life. Or at least she did in Batman Returns. Physically she is good (tall, in shape and flexible, a natural beauty) and well, we know she ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jett from Batman on Film, easily the most authoritative voice and with the closest contacts to Warner Bros. to know exactly what is going on with the next installment of the Caped Crusader wrote last week that he doesn't expect to see another live action Batman movie till 2012. 

That's one year later than when we thought the movie could have opened, when we initially pondered it the day after THE DARK KNIGHT was released back in July.



Jett's reasoning of course being Chris Nolan's new science fiction movie INCEPTION which we now know is likely to star Leonardo DiCaprio when it begins filming in June. So really just looking at the numbers alone, it doesn't seem possible to have BATMAN 3 ready for 2011, because that would be two very large productions in a very implausible two year time period. 

Just not going to happen. Anyway here's Jett with an update on his message board...
at this moment based on the timeframe for INCEPTION and what I've heard from insiders (Maybe I know people who'll be working on B3, you know.  ), B3 is going to be a Summer 2012 release. 

Frankly, the only way it'll be a 2011 film is if Nolan declines (he hasn't) ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[... an original sci-fi thriller he wrote titled INCEPTION, which he be produced by his wife and THE DARK KNIGHT producer Emma Thomas. The story broke in tonight's The Hollywood Reporter.

INCEPTION is described as "a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind."

I'm not quite sure what the hell that means but it sounds absolutely fantastic and I can't tell you how delighted I am to see Nolan join the number of high profile directors tackling sci-fi right now, a genre in great need of a boost.

INCEPTION will shoot this Summer and all being well should hit theatres mid-2010. This will be one of Warner Bros. biggest movies of next year as they currently have no comic book movie set for release (everyone doubts a proposed GREEN LANTERN could be ready in time).

As expected, Nolan doesn't wanna be seen as just the BATMAN guy and is once again helming a movie in between two Warner Bros. smash hits. It mirrors what he did with his smaller, more personal project THE PRESTIGE which began casting almost immediately after BATMAN BEGINS hit cinemas. 

Though INCEPTION sure doesn't sound like just a small flick. 

You all know I'm the biggest Batman fan around ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sure it's obvious, especially in the post-BATMAN RETURNS, SUPERMAN RETURNS and THE MUMMY RETURNS universe and yes, it is a  complete rip-off from the title Frank Miller used in the 80's for the most important Batman graphic novel of all time, but, I still say this is the title to use.



If Warner Bros. want to make another $1 billion, then what could be better to arose interest? After THE DARK KNIGHT and how incredible that movie was this year, who wouldn't be having wet dreams over a title like THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS?

Though at this point any other title is impossible to predict as whatever they choose it will have to relate to the theme of the film as mapped out by Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer. And so it's a fruitless exercise really at this point as officially no third movie has even been announced yet.

Though BATMAN R.I.P. would have been a devilishly cool and fascinating title for the end of Nolan's trilogy. BATMAN FOREVER was always a cool title, shame that can't be used though I wouldn't mind seeing BATMAN return to the title. Hell, if they are struggling what about just BATMAN or THE ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the first part of a three arc interview with the Los Angeles Times, Brit director Christopher Nolan begs the question, "How many good third movies in a franchise can people name?".

It's a solid question and his perfect legacy so far with the character is something he wants to keep in tact, whether that means stopping now with the franchise or making sure if he was to do another movie... it's a story that will keep him interested for over two years to tell.



You can certainly see why history is against him. THE DARK KNIGHT was compared to THE GODFATHER PART II or THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Neither of those franchises recovered from how good those movies were and when you watch THE DARK KNIGHT... they threw all the eggs into that basket right there. How can anyone top or improve that, can it be done?

Nolan clearly wasn't thinking about the future. He was out to make the best film possible and that's probably why he succeeded where so many have failed. on the second throw of the dice. He thought big and delivered big. One of the biggest films of all time.

Nolan, who has been quite quiet since it's ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I guess I can't avoid this story when Production Weekly, a trade magazine no less with many inside studio sources, have this week listed BATMAN 3 on it's development site with Chris Nolan's name attached to direct.

Presumably that means he has scribed his signature on the next film's contract. It's also claimed that pre-production will begin in February, which is a good six months earlier at least than the time between BATMAN BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT.



Does this count as the official confirmation that we were waiting for?

I would suggest it certainly indicates that Nolan might not be directing another film between BATMAN 2 and 3 and what we do know for sure is that Nolan hasn't been as quick announcing his follow-up to THE DARK KNIGHT as he was with BATMAN BEGINS.

By October 2005, we knew that Nolan was to work on THE PRESTIGE as his next movie and both Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman were already announced as being in talks for the film. This time around, we barely know what his next film will be, with small mutterings it could be a feature based on the classic 60's Brit t.v. show THE PRISONER.

Now of course this is ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Matt here…

I absolutely loathe posting about rumors, I only do it if there is a logical reasoning for it and/or a good chance that's it  likely to be more true than not. And those occasions come very few and far between.

For all those reporting on this story as if it's gospel, let me just remind you guys of how unreliable actors are when it comes to using them as news sources. Having you just heard that Derek Luke basically lied through his back teeth about Will Smith being considered for the Captain America role over at Marvel.


Now I'm not about to call Michael Caine a liar over his comments about Batman 3 villainy casting but I'm convinced there is a bit of playfulness here when he was speaking to MTV...
“I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, ‘Are we going to make [a sequel to The Dark Knight]?’ They said yeah. I said, ‘How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says ‘I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.’ I said, ‘Shit, they’ve done it again!’” [Laughs]
But then in the same ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So we've already discussed at length the pro's and cons of who the next villain should be in the inevitable sequel to the $614 million worldwide (and still growing) biggest comic book film of all time The Dark Knight, where hopefully Christopher Nolan will still have enough interest in the Batman character to tell us one more story.

Personally on reflection of seeing The Dark Knight, I would probably go for The Penguin as a heightened version of the kind of supporting character that both Eric Roberts and Tom Wilkinson played in the previous two movies. I would possibly bring back both Maroni &#38; Falcone... and maybe have a three gang warefare as taken from the story arc in The Long Halloween.


I would certainly look at bringing in Talia Al Ghul, I think the next movie really does call for her presence. Bruce you have to believe will be needy in this time of Batman being more of an outcast than ever before... he would more likely be seduced by the femme fatale, you have to believe it will be either her or Catwoman.

Two-Face seems a big possibility, if he ain't dead there is still a lot of room for the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The final look at potential future Batman villains. You can read PART ONE HERE which generated a good amount of discussion. Please try and keep the comments in regards to this article and these sets of villains rather than those talked previous or not yet, as there is or will be soon a thread for them.

I should have also probably mentioned that people are quite happy to shout out spoilers for the The Dark Knight in the comments section, so watch out for that.



POISON IVY 

Poison Ivy, the women with the deadly touch. In this environment conscious world we live in she could make a good villain in principal, targeting Wayne Enterprises because of their industry waste and effect on the environment. Again with film noir appearing to be a theme of the new Batman movies, she is the ultimate seductress and femme fatale.

IN NOLAN'S WORLD: Again, it would have to be different to the Uma Thurman portrayal but a botanist/nature obsessive who has come up with a poison that kills the bureaucrats of Gotham could be interesting, especially if she kills villains and not completely innocent people.

And how about she gets Gordon on her side by seducing him away ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Because we really don't talk about Batman enough do we?

The future of the various Marvel franchises seem all worked out at the moment. James Vanderbilt is finishing his script for Spider-Man 4 which I would be almost willing to put my house on the main villain being The Lizard.

The Mandarin looks like he will be going toe-to-toe with Iron Man in the next movie with several hints to the idea that he could be the major player behind the shady strategy of Stark Enterprises. Thor will have his Loki - Captain America will have his Red Skull - but what of DC and their superhero sequels, specifically The Caped Crusader himself.

Now I know this all just speculation at this point because we are yet to know the fate of Two-Face or The Joker who are the main focus of next month's The Dark Knight but still, it's fun to imagine what could be ahead.


 

Can you feel the excitement building towards The Dark Knight?

I always know the anticipation is mounting when I talk to people I know outside of the online community actually approach me to talk about a film a couple of months before it's due out. Sadly, I ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not really news because every Batman fan and their grandmother have known for years now that Christian Bale signed a three movie deal with Warner Bros. and that Christopher Nolan has mapped out a storyline for a trilogy film arc which we will enjoy the middle part of in just a few months time.

But still, with all the crap that was and very much is the Justice League movie, it's nice to keep hearing that Bale is happy at WB (he did sign up for the new Terminator movie so that's another good sign) and that nothing really has changed as far as Bale and Nolan are concerned. They just have to keep making good movies.

Bale spoke to Entertainment Weekly
You know, obviously the decision is out of my hands. I would, knowing the Dark Knight story, I would like very much to complete a trilogy. And I think that knowing the story of The Dark Knight, it leaves you anticipating something that really can get very, very interesting for a third. Now, the question would be: Is Chris going to be doing it? Because to me I find it tricky to imagine working on it without it being a collaboration ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you told me this time two years ago just after Batman Begins had wrapped I would have believed you. At one time it was certainly being suggested that the following two sequels to Batman Begins would be shot back to back, allowing for a larger scope and epic storyline which would revolve around The Joker and Harvey Dent's development.

At one time, I was actually convinced that we would see a Batman movie in the summer of 2008, then another one again the following year, which also seemed to be of the benefit of Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale who could then move on to other things because I'm afraid to say it guys...  but they won't stay around doing this Batman gig forever.

When WB's annouced The Dark Knight for 2008 and mentioned no third movie start date then obviously that was not going to happen. The next Batman movie probably will have the same three year gap as this one, with the next movie not hitting theatres till 2011.

Although a source for Batman on Film, actually got word over the weekend that Batman 3 could be out by Christmas 2009. I would say there's a 95% chance that ...]]></description>
