The source isnt 100% sure if this is all true (ill keep you all posted, dont worry.) But, according to an article posted on Comicbookmovie.com, the following details have been "leaked" about the 3rd installment in the Batman series by Brent Sprecher. Thankfully, Christopher Nolan is still at the helm.



1. The plot should be outlined in time for the screenwriting to begin in February.

UPDATE 1: YES

Deadline Hollywood</STRONG> (February 2010)

"Now FlashForward showrunner David Goyer has left with 5 episodes still to shoot. Of course, Goyer's feature career is really heating up, since he co-wrote Batman Begins, and penned the story for The Dark Knight, and is now writing the third Batman installment with Chris Nolan's brother Jonah."

2. The Riddler is the primary villain and he figures out Batman's identity.

3. Arkham Asylum will figure prominently in the story.

4. Several classic villains will cameo, including the Penguin and Mr. Freeze (though as Dr. Fries, not as the supervillain).

5. Barbara Gordon will have a featured role.

6. Commissioner Gordon will mention Metropolis and possibly Lex Luthor.

UPDATE 2: YES (LIKELY)

This news makes the likelihood of a Metropolis and/or Lex Luthor mention far more likely, if not certain:

Deadline Hollywood (February 2010)

"Warner Bros is trying to ready its DC Comics stalwart Superman to soar again on the Big Screen, and the studio has turned to Chris Nolan to mentor development of the movie. Our insiders say that the brains behind rebooted Batman has been asked to play a "godfather" role and ensure The Man Of Steel gets off the ground after a 3 1/2-year hiatus... now [Chris Nolan's] brother and frequent collaborator Jonathan "Jonah" Nolan, and David Goyer who co-wrote and penned the story for The Dark Knight, are off scripting it."

7. Dick Grayson may be in the movie (though probably not as Robin).

Didn't Nolan say he wanted to stay as far from robin as possible? You can't out dick Grayson in and not have that be. But I am happy for
the 3rd. I am deffinatly a huge batman buff.

[Spisivavona]

I hope that's the real movie poster. I don't really like Barbra Gordon and Dick Grayson just yet though.

[JJoon077]

It's to early. Let it be shown that batman needs a sidekick to keep him in check.

[Spisivavona]

I guess I could live with Grayson, but not as Robin. Barbra Gordon is the main one that I'm upset with. They've given no hint that she even is around.

DC tie-ins = good.
Riddler = good.

I need no more.

I call this as fake seeing as the bottom of the poster has "Christian Bale "The Dark Knight" Heath Ledger" on it, but whatever. o.O

YJ

EDIT: OMG JOKER AND RIDDLER WOULD BE SO COOL! I hope Heath Ledger is in this one!

bad troll is bad

i think the riddler would be cool (only not the jim carey one)

[Fluivelip]

Jim Carey = Best Riddler ever. Whilst I'd love him to do the same again; they should obviously get someone else (Jonny Depp) to do it.

Frsrstho; Joker/Riddler would be a mint story. Will have to look out for one next time I'm in Manchester.

The poster is there for show, obviously.

Could we get a link?

Cheers for that.

"David Tennant for RIddler!!!!!"

Good f**king shout.

[fereupfer]

Much rather have Freeze but w/e, riddler would be cool as well.

Nicholas Cage for riddler plz

Nicholas Cage might even work going from a few scenes in Two-Face-Off.

Freeze in the fourth, with his story beginning at the end of this, or Freeze forming into Freeze in this one akin to Two-Face.

David Tennant, man. British Riddler would be mint.

the most interesting thing on that page was the possibility of a movie about the flash.

[huerta]

Im wanting Johnny Depp for Riddler.

[searkibia]

The poster blatantly says "The Dark Knight" at the bottom, followed by Heath Ledger's name. :|

[Spisivavona]

First I know the poster is a fake. I mean I hope they actually use something like that as a teaser poster like they did with the Joker behind the tinted window writing "Why so Serious?"

Second and more importantly. If they do go with the Riddler figuring out Bruce Wayne is Batman. It needs to include the scene in Arkham from the end of the Hush story.

Riddler- "Who is Batman? And now the world is my oyster."

Batman- "What time is it when an elephant sits on your fence?"

Riddler- "Everyone knows that one. It's completely....!"

Batman- "Useless. That is why I have nothing to fear. I know you Mr. Nigma. A riddle every knows the answer to is useless. You'll never be able to give away my identity, it's your obsessive-compulsive nature that won't let you tell anyone."

Riddler gets angry and lunges at Batman who slams his head off the table and presses down on it. Enter guards and Batman's visit is over.

Sounds like a terrible idea, but if it happened I would probably cry with happiness. o.O

Liked that scene.

Lets face it, though. Riddler for new Batman film was pretty much what everyone was saying. Depp for Riddler was a big thing, too. DC crossover, and possibility of Freeze is about the only thing there that is 'new' and it's rumor.

I like where the possibility of a tie-in with Superman could lead.

The end of the Dark Knight left Batman as a villain in the publics eyes. Superman comes to Gotham to take down Batman who is still seen by the public as a menace.

Standard foes turned friends stuff that could work through the emergence of an enemy that neither could handle alone.
