Batman 3 To Start Shooting Next Year

[Silent Brad]

Gary Oldman just announced at the Warner Bros. Book of Eli panel that a third Batman film will go into production next year.

"I think the next Batman is next year," he told a fan who asked about when the long-awaited "Dark Knight" follow-up would hit, "We start shooting next year. You didn't hear that from me."

Good news. Good news, indeed.

[The Tank]

Yaaaaaaay.

...of course, only if we get some actual news besides "They begin shooting next year".

.........come on, DC! Give us a name! Riddler, Penguin, Bane, ANYTHING!!!

I assume Chicago will be the setting for Gotham City again.

Hope so. Chicago is so perfect for Gotham it's crazy.

Man, it's probably pretty sad how happy I got just to hear they begin shooting. XD

yesssssssssssssss.

[rrm15]

Please tell me Nolan will be back.

[Convoy]

Oh hell yeah.

Please include The Riddler.

[Jason Todd Grisham]

For some reason The Riddler was always my favorite.

BRING ON THE RIDDLER!

I never trust actors with this kind of information. I'll wait until I hear it from someone that actually controls the financial or creative direction of the movie before I believe it.

Let's hope Christian Bale doesn't do what he did during the filming of Terminator Salvation. Sorry that just came out of me.

Nolan would never allow "f***ing amateurs" on his set.

Great news, I can't wait to see what develops.

Oh please please please - no hype machine for this. It's still fairly far away and I can tell the hype is going to start already. The hype killed TDK for me and I don't want this one killed either...but I think it will be.

[Massive G]

if Nolan isn't back it won't matter anyway

[sunwukong]

I was right. Oldman was just talking and had no real info (and I don't buy that he slipped and got yelled at):

I just interviewed Oldman and he back-peddled a bit on it, going from sure to the movie filming next year on the panel to a more "well, I'm sure they want to do another one... it might 2 or 3 years..." I'll have the exact quote for you in my interview, which I hope to have up tomorrow, but maybe them horses need holdin'. Or maybe he slipped and got an earful from Warners. What do you folks think?

The hype might not have been so heavy if one of the main actors didn't die

Never trust this man. He'll only betray you.

Just don't listen to the hype. Do what I do and just see the movie without any expectations.

Also, YES!
