Christopher Nolan Confirms Batman 3

I just hope he films some scenes in IMAX again (if not the whole thing!). Have seen quite a few films at IMAX now and TDK is still the most impressive.
 
It doesn't surprise me that The Riddler isn't going to be in it. I think they would struggle making him different enough to how they did The Joker in TDK. What we really need is someone like Talia al-Ghul, a perfect way to round out the trilogy. The Scarecrow is still around too.

I don't think either The Penguin or Catwoman will feature, not in main roles anyway. Maybe The Penguin could be the nickname of a gangster who's kind of in the background like Falcone was in Batman Begins.

I think we have imagery of both characters too set in stone for there to be any good reason for Nolan to revisit them. Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman is definitive. You can't top that so why bother?? The Joker was different because there was chance to do him in a completely new way to Burton/Nicholson's who was basically a crazy Jack.
 
Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman were all contracted to do 3 Heath Ledger was contracted to do 2 plus The Dark Knight made over a billion dollars Warner were always going to make a third with or without Nolan. Sadly, they don't care about the films just as long as they make money.
 
According to the Empire website Nolan could have already started casting Batman 3:

"Given how great he was in Inception, this doesn
 
Tom Hardy is an incredible actor so I couldn't be happier about him being in Batman 3. I don't care who he plays. He's one of those actors who could play anything, so just the fact that he's got a role at all is good enough for me. :)
 
Christopher Nolan said at an Inception screening that clever writing, combined with believeable dialogue and acting is far more important to him than any 3D 'gimmick' - as he put it.
 
Saying that Robin could never feature in this series is being way too closed-minded. I mean, Robin has nearly always been a key figure in the history of Batman media. We've had other main characters like The Joker, Harvey Dent, Gordon etc. now we're probably gonna have The Riddler. When you think of other big figures in Batman from that point downwarRAB Robin is always going to feature. People just think of the tights and annoying whiny sidekick thing, but as Nolan has shown so far, there could be a different spin on it.

I think the intro of Robin would be a brilliant fun ending to the 3rd film (which surely has to have an upbeat ending). It would just be a cameo by a young actor, just one scene and not part of the story, just suggesting that's where the future could go.
 
I hope Catwoman isn't in this movie. I just don't think Michelle Pfeiffer can ever be topped. I know people said that about Jack Nicholson but with Michelle I think its different. She took the role to a level it had never been at before.
 
So true! I would love it if The Dark Knight Rises baddies were Two-Face and Catwoman. I could totally see them play off one another. But since Two-Face is dead i am positive Catwoman will feature along with another less known baddie (Black Mask, perhaps who Tom Hardy may play?). But definetely no Riddler and no Penguin.
