While many are still busy speculating on the return of Christopher Nolan to the sequel installment of "The Dark Knight" and on the possible villains, recent words from "Batman 3" suggested that the next Batman film may be heading into its pre-production in early 2009. According to Batman on Film, an inside source has mentioned that the filming is slated to begin in summer 2009 in Chicago.
Batman on Film further revealed the possible pre-production date, putting it in February 2009 slate. Quoting a behind the scenes source on the rumor, the fansite also wrote down the insider's revelation, "[What I'm hearing from crew members out of Chicago] is that 'BATMAN 3' goes into pre-production in February to shoot next summer."
Following the massive success of "Dark Knight" on collecting as much as $524.6 million nationwide and $984.6 million worldwide, buzzes around a new sequel have surfaced. "Batman 3" is said to be tentatively titled "The Caped Crusade" and it may see the baddies from The Riddler to Catwoman. Though actors like Johnny Depp, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Cher and Angelina Jolie have been linked to the villains part, none is really confirmed for the roles so far. In fact, director Christopher Nolan himself is yet to be signed for the follow-up movie.

How about Spider-Man VS. Batman. Just like Jason vs. Freddie or Predator vs. Alien,..Mcain vs. Obama??
Alfred kicks ass
If they are going to use the joker again, and I'm not saying they are, I think they need to find someone as sadistic and nerve racking as Heath who's doctor doesn't make any misdiagnoses
"Gotham city" The scarecrow returns with a friend, the riddler. The leagh of shadows and ras daugter, to take down batman and gotham city. With the citices and criminals, like a arms dealer, code named the pengwin and a theaf named catwoman. In the middle, they must chose want they must do?
I think ultimately the best story would go as follows: Bruce Wayne (now played by Chuck Norris), is having a strong internal conflict about his new role as "The Dark Knight," and goes to see a therapist. We soon find out that his therapist (played by Hanah Montana) is actually the feared villam known as "Gothom's Frothy Badger!" The fiersome frothy badger proceeds to overcharge wayne for the therapy and he gets really stressed out and stops receiving treatment. The movie fades out as Alfred tries to angrily send back soup at a deli. The End.
interesting
The Caped Crusade? Give me a fucking break. Who wrote this crap? Where did you get your info, some IMDB forum from a 13 year old rumor starter?
I think that the Riddler should be the main Villian. But bring in some not well known guys like the Madhatter and Deadshot they deserve some time on the big screen
make the great khali as bane in the darkknight3 ha ha ha.
the villian of tdk3 is riddler but the side villian should be bane
i think the joker should be a part of the new batman. the joker should be played by a thin jauquin pheonix(however you spell it)
Here's a good story line: Jean Paul Valley (Azrael) is one of the Batman impersonators. But he is a stand out and recruited by BW or BM as a help or comes to his aid when Bane incapacitates him (at the behest of The Penguin or whomever, who is using him as muscle). Follow the Azrael arc as a person more violent than BM but using the Batman guise. Wayne recovers, takes over the mantle again (and the heat of being seen in the public eye as a vigilante with no limits)..and Azrael, instead of having been influenced by the the "Sacred Order of St. Dumas" is actually an experiment of the League of Shadows, meets Ras-al Ghul, finds out who he really is and must decide whether or not to help TDK with Bane showdown! Yowza!!
It would be awesome to introduce Harley Quinn and she kinda helps the Joker escape Arkham or something to that relation. Aside from her the other villains I would love to see are Riddler and the Ventriloquist.
who ever turns out to b the villain plezzzz leave the joker out of it ... No one can ever replace heath so dont ruin all his gd wrk
Christian Bale told an interviewer that he will quit the franchise if Robin is introduced...also, Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer said they have no interest of re-introducing Catwoman either, so, even though it IS true that Angelina Jolie is interested in the role, it's never gonna happen because the writers are NOT.
the movies should be the joker and the riddler also the batman will introduce new gadgets such as the bat boat and the batjet amd thenew batmobile
also at the end dick grayson lives with bruce wayne at the mansion
ALSO THE VILLAINS SHOULD BE THE JOKER AND THE RIDDLER WITH AT THE END OF THE CREDITS LEADS TO A NEW VILLAIN BETTER KNOWN AS TA'LAYA AL GHUL!
the title should be called THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS or THE CAPE CRUSADER or THE BATMAN.
I hope they dont do a Spiderman 3 and throw a lot of baddies and make a mess of it and dont do what they did with the old batman movies where they changed every thing around in the 3rd movie and change it more for the kiddies and then make the crappier sequel Batman and Robin
Daniel Day Lewis would be perfect as the Riddler!
You can blame Michael Caine (Alfred) for the 'casting rumors'. He's the one who let it spill they were looking at Depp and Hoffman, but Hoffman has since stated he's got no interest. They must be looking for a taller Pengiun, because Vincent D'nofiro's name was rumored recently too, but he's being looked at for Jerry Garcia in that bio-pic, so who knows? I hope Jolie is false.
Nolan has to use Riddler, Catwoman, or Penguin because the average Joe Blow knows the 4 main villians of Batman, the Joker, Riddler, Catwoman, and Penguin. One of the reasons that the Dark knight was so successful is because anyone that knows even the slightest little bitabout Batman knows that the Joker is one of Batman's enemies, and I think the same can be said for Riddler, Catwoman, and Penguin. Ledger's death only increased it even more. The Nicholson Batman was a smash because everyone knows the villian. The rest of those films were horrible because of the writing and storylines and I don't think that will be a problem for Nolan. Even with bad writing and storyline, the riddler was awesome in the third, of course, it did help to have a great actor play the part as well...I personally want to see the Riddler as the main villian and the Catwoman as a side villian, or what the heck, bring back Two Face as a side villian but I think the Riddler for the Main villian..
they already made a cartoon movie with killer croc called gotham knight, and they launched it right before dark knight.
I say "Gotham Knight" sounds cool, kind of coincides and seems natural. I don't know I think it works.
i just read an interview with Gary oldman (Gordon)who said for batman 3 nolan does not want to have catwoman or penguin in his movie which means this article has to be false!!!
angelina jolie or cher as catwoman?? bad idea angelina wouldnt do it justice and cher is way to old!!!
If this article would be 100% false, then explain the fact that Gary Oldman, Michael Caine & Christian Bale have signed for 3 movies. What if Nolan contract were for 3 as well?
better fix the same producer, and head characters. Batman Begins & The Dark Knight are awesome compared to the old batman movies ^^
@harvey dent: LOL.... i so agree with u
Please tell me Angelina Jolie is not going to be in such a great movie. She is over exposed and will just mess up something beautiful. Jolie, if your reading this stay home with your kids instead. Tell Brad to stay away also. Fans are really sick of you two.
This article is 100% false. Warner studios already stated they will not make any moves until Nolan says what his intentions are. Same with all the casting rumors and film titles - pure fan fantasy.
"Batman 3" is said to be tentatively titled "The Caped Crusade"...that is the gayest title ever. Nolan has much better sense than that. Seeesssh!
