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

Sure he will. I think he does get injured pretty badly at the hands of Bane and then makes a come back which is why we get the title of the movie and some of the Phoenix symbols in the posters.

If some of you are interested, here is a thread I've been following over at the mainboard.com:

I'm obligated to say that there are some potential serious spoilers in the thread. One person I believe has a friend that worked on the set for the important sewer scene...and I believe he detailed how the scene plays out - I skipped through it because I didn't want a huge spoiler....true or not - but there is some good info in there. Buyer beware though.

I take the line in nearly every trailer about there being one more thing he has to give for Gotham as a sign.

I think it's just a tease. He probably does something life threatening, but comes out of it okay.

We'll find out in a month!

I don't know this for 100% fact, some of it is in the previews in this thread, but I'll spoiler anyway:

Spoiler!

Judging from what I've read on various sites.... Bane & Batman have a battle early and Bane basically breaks Batman's back. You can see it in several of the previews where Bane is holding the mask of a beaten Batman. The conversation goes something like:

Batman: Why don't you just kill me?
Bane: Your punishment must be more severe. I will kill you when Gotham has fallen.

So essentially, I think the story arc probably goes....

1 - Bane beats the shit out of Batman. Leaving him for dead.
2 - Bane takes control of the city
3 - Batman "Rises" and beats Bane

I still think "TDKR" won't outperform "Avengers". Bane is an unknown villian to most people, he's not portrayed by a famous actor, the film is dark and bleak and violent so it's not a "kiddie film"... But I do think "TDKR" will have a ridiculous opening week or two. When tickets went on sale, our Thursday midnight IMAX sold out in 20 minutes.
