Some good news for Batman fans. In an recent interview with Hero Complex, Christopher Nolan, who is gearing up to direct the third installment in the Batman franchise has revealed that his third Batman movie will be called The Dark Knight Rises. He also put rumors to bed that the villain in the next film "won't be the Riddler."
"We'll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we'll be introducing some new ones," Nolan said cryptically. He also said that the studio has agreed with him not to shoot the film in 3D. but that he'll be experimenting with the scope of IMAX in unprecedented ways.
”We’re looking to do something technologically that’s never been done before," Nolan explained. The filmmaker also reiterated that The Dark Knight Rises will close out his trilogy. I hope this doesn't mean after this film he won't make anymore Batman films.
"Our ambition for the third movie is to complete a story that has begun," he said, "This is not starting over. This not rebooting. We’re finishing something and keeping a consistency with what’s come before has real value.”
I'm actually hoping that Catwoman will make an appearance in the next film, as well as Harley Quinn, since she is a psychiatrist from Arkham Asylum who became obsessed with the Joker. At the end of The Dark Knight he was sent to Gotham's notorious mental hospital. I'm also pretty excited that Christopher Nolan is the rare director that can not only write excellent dialogue and push the boundaries of cinema (are you listening James Cameron?), but he's smart enough to not jump on the 3D bandwagon for the next Batman film. That's one film I'm glad won't be in 3D.
The Dark Knight Rises is scheduled for a July 20, 2012 release.
