Nolan's Batman 3 Title

[Tribal Warfare]

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

Something else noticed in the trailer:

Spoiler!

The voiceover from Alfred suggests that the figure with the cane walking up to the platter on the table might be Bruce Wayne’s careworn butler. But look closely at the reflection in the dome, and you’ll see it’s another major character — injured enough that he has difficulty walking…

Yeah, this had fans going completely apeshit even as the bootleg version of the trailer was hitting the net days before it was officially posted.

Pretty cool.

Spoiler!

supposedly there is going to be a 8 year time skip, and this maybe during that period before the quasi continuity of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns set piece occurs

Can't ****ing wait...

I REALLY need to watch Batman Begins again. I've seen Dark Knight like 10 times but Batman Begins only once.

Spoiler!

Yeah, the movie starts 8 years after the events of The Dark Knight. I have no idea if there is a further time jump within the narrative of The Dark Knight Rises.

You assholes. Don't you know I don't have the willpower required to NOT click on these spoiler-ish posts? Shit.

She looks like she'd be happy to accept. That girl looks to have a bit of a freak gene to her.

Yeah, I'd agree. I thought she was prim and proper but "Love And Other Drugs" makes me think not. She's the perfect "bookish librarian who really loves S&M" type.

She started out as a high-end thief, then they started working in that she was supposedly good at hand-to-hand fighting, then they started working in some dark pathos-filled backstory of abuse. Did twig-thin Michelle Pfeiffer really look like a Catwoman? (Sadly, Halle Berry was probably best physically suited for the role but that film bombed horrendously and now she's probably too old.) I don't think Anne Hathaway is a great choice but, really, who would've been better?

Megan Fox for sex appeal alone

The regular trailer they are. The 7 minute prologue only plays in select 70mm IMAX theaters. Real IMAX, not fake IMAX.
