Batman sequel 'Rises' again

LOS ANGELES - THE next Batman sequel has a title: The Dark Knight Rises. Distributor Warner Bros. confirmed the name for director Christopher Nolan's third adventure about the DC Comics vigilante hero, which follows Batman Begins in 2005 and The Dark Knight in 2008.

The Dark Knight Rises is due in theaters July 20, 2012. Bucking Hollywood's current wave of 3-D movies, Nolan is not planning to shoot the film in 3-D.

Warner Bros had agreed with Nolan's argument that the sequel should resist the 3-D craze, the director told the Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex blog, which first reported the title.

Nolan would not reveal what villain might appear in The Dark Knight Rises, but he said it would not be the Riddler, one of the key bad guys in the comics and past film and TV Batman tales.

Earlier this year, Nolan said he would not resurrect the Joker, the cackling villain played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. Ledger won the supporting-actor Academy Award for the role, a year after he died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. -- AP

It's kind of a shame that Al Ghul really is dead, and I don't see any way they could integrate Lazarus pits.

Although...Rising....?

Maybe they could make it a Lazarus project, and have Al Ghul cloned or something. Either way, I've always loved that character, and I was mightily unhappy to see him die at the end of BB.

And since his squeeze is dead, it would be a great time to introduce Talia, who could be a really complex character...

Damnt......The Riddler would have been an awesome villian in Nolan's Gotham.

Killer Croc looks like a rip-off of Marvel's The Lizard, except for the part of turning into a friend of Batman's so that he has to be careful when fighting him (apparently, that part goes to Man-Bat).

****! I completely forgot about Talia!

Yes. That. They should do that. I love it. Especially if this is a three movie arc with a beginning, middle and end. It makes too much sense.

Excellent call, Keg.

Though, I'd still love to see Black Mask and I think he could work as well. If they plan on doing a "two villain" sort of thing, I'd really love to see Talia and Black Mask.

Yeah, similar I guess. But it's comics. They seem to do like that from time to time. They're different enough.

Though, since Spider-Man has confirmed that the Lizard is the villain in the new movie, it feels like it would be folly for TDKR to use such a similiar character.

The Black Mask plz.

**Buck** · 10-28-2010, 04:21 PM

Each of the Nolan films has had 3 Super Villains

Batman Begins:
-Ra's Al Ghul
-Scarecrow
-Zsasz

The Dark Knight:
-Joker
-Two-Face
-Scarecrow

That leads me to believe that there will be 3 in the new film as well.

Also, IIRC, the Gotham City Mob was pretty much disassembled in TDK. That means Black Mask would be PERFECT for the new movie.

Yeah, I'm getting myself way too excited and worked up about Black Mask. I need to settle down, or I'll end up disappointing myself. Which is stupid.

So if there are three..
- Black Mask
- Talia al Ghul
- ???

Who's your pick for number three?

**007** · 10-28-2010, 04:31 PM

I never even heard of Zsasz until Arkham Asylum came out. They had that character in Batman Begins? I don't even remember it.

I really want to see Bane, but I doubt it will ever happen. I really hope that Talia is not one of the 3.

Why's that?

She's an integral part of the Batman universe, but to be honest with you, I am a huge sexist when it comes to actors and I'd rather see all men super villains. I always feel like a man can perform better than a woman. Thats pretty much it.

He's only in it for a second. It's really brief, and if you've never heard of him or you don't know what you're looking for, you'll miss it.

Talia could be a really great way to bookend Ra's story, as well as fun way to get in a different kind of love interest for Wayne.
