Nolan’s exact words were:-
“I don’t like to talk too much about things until I’m further along with them. But I’m working on the script right now. My brother Jonah has done a draft for the script and now I’m writing on it. We have set a release date and as far as the film being officially greenlit, they haven’t told they don’t want to do it. So I’m hopeful.”
It seems a little odd to have set a release date for a project with no green light, however this must surely be a technicality. The Dark Knight made over $1bn at the box office, was critically lauded the world over and landed awards by the boat load as well. A third film is such an exciting prospect, given the quality of Nolan’s work in general and on this franchise in particular and for most people (myself included), Batman 3 cannot come soon enough.
We’ve embedded footage of Nolan’s interviews below, which are mostly about Inception, but do cover Batman 3 as well.
I’m with exsleepy…no Riddler please. He’s got to be the most annoying Batman villian of all time. And for god sake no Robin. 😛
If Nolan is smart, he’ll make David S. Goyer write it and make it more like batman begins which to me had a better script and overall ending. As for the villians the Riddler is perfect…but how about Ras Al guhls daughter coming back for some revenge with some of those ninjas from batman begins.
