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

Hush would be a cool one if he could manipulate other villains like he did in "Hush."

ahhh, I remember that scene now. I would have never caught that.

And he was also friends with Wayne in his childhood, like Black Mask. That could weave a fun little backstory.

Yeah, it was so fast. Just a little easter egg for the hardcore fans who were really paying attention.

I didn't see it until the second or third time that I watched BB.

Anyway, I feel like they could have at least let Dent live & then they could either (a) lessened his role in TDK & make him the main bad guy in the 3rd movie, which would have been badass or (b) let him make a cameo like Scarecrow did in TDK. Either one would have been better than killing him off IMO. Sorry, I just love Two-Face & that whole story/dynamic.

No, Joker was still a HUGE influence but from what i read the movie was suppose to be more about TwoFace like 60/40 if you will, but Ledger died after the fact so they reworked some of the film to make it more centric on him.. The third one was also going to be about the Joker..

The Dark Knight vs Dent's White Knight.. But Ledger literally stole the show..

I can't imagine how that could be possible. The movie is about Batman and Harvey Dent, but the Joker is basically the engine that makes the plot go, and almost every scene he's in is necessary.

Whatever you read couldn't be more false

I seem to recall hearing that they did cut a lot of Harvey Dent/Twoface scenes. Don't know how true that is but I remember something about that. A lot of people complained about that fact.

If Christopher Nolan felt those edited scenes were important, I guarantee they'd have been in the film.

I was told directly that the scenes were cut because they dragged down the narrative. Personally, I think that Aaron has the appeal of an old, worn out shoe (although I admit, there is a personal issue that sways that opinion), just above Bill Pullman on the scale of uninteresting.

But with that being said, there are always tons of scenes left on the cutting room floor, the most egregious, IMO, are scenes of James Caan in the original Godfather movie.

But that's a different discussion altogether.

I've never been a fan of Eckhart myself but I did like what he did with the character. It really fit him well.

Because he's a two-faced dick?

Yep, that's him in a nutshell.
