Nolan's Batman 3 Title
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 |

I like the speculation that since the title from The Dark Knight was as much a reference to two-face as it was to Batman, that perhaps we'll again see him.

Well it will be a villain that can be humanized without superpowers or crazy origins.. That is why I do not think it will be penguin..
Harley Quinn - Make it as Jokers lover or some hostage that went crazy and took over the role.. Bane - Just make him a roided out freak.. |

I really don't like the title at all. Batman Begins. The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight Rises? WTF? Oh, and thank you Mr. Nolan for NOT getting on the 3D bus.

Could be Black Mask or possibly Killer Croc.

Killer Croc, not happening but Black Mask could since the Joker killed off the criminal underworld thus leaving that option ready to be exploited.

The villain and focus of the film was always The Joker. They spent years prepping, shooting, editing and composing the score for this film (TWO composers shared credit although as many as twelve worked on the score). Christopher Nolan didn't just change the "focus" of the film 5 months before the release date because Ledger tragically passed away. |
