Batman 3 titled The Dark Knight Rises and won't feature The Riddler. News to follow... 2 minutes ago

That's all there is at the moment. No riddler, huh? Interested in who the villain is now!

 

[WillyFive]

Eh, what do they know.

 

[Sotha Sil]

Wow. It's just a title, but... can't... fight... hype... rising...

 

[ultron87]

Should've teased us with the abbreviation DKR for awhile just to get the entire Internet ablaze with Dark Knight Returns hype, and then yank the rug out from under us.

 

[ChackanKun]

Scarecrow please. For real this time, not like in TDK..

 

[confused]

Shit title is shitter than shit.

 

[BGBW]

In the East?

 

[Cataferal]

Sets in the west?

In an interview with the Hero Complex, Christopher Nolan has confirmed that the forthcoming third installment in the Batman trilogy will be called The Dark Knight Rises.

In addition, Nolan squashed speculation that The Riddler would be the villian in The Dark Knight Rises, saying that the character will definitely not be making an appearance.

Nolan, however, did confirm that he’ll “use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we’ll be introducing some new ones,” and that the film won’t follow the current 3D craze, but instead capitalise on the use of HD and IMAX cameras to ensure the film remains cutting-edge.

hnggghhh

more cillian murphy is always good <3

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Sounds pornographic.

 

[i_am_ben]

but i like the riddler.


well ok. Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze it is.

 

[Sotha Sil]

that the film won’t follow the current 3D craze

There is a god.

 

[Tucah]

That's an awful title.

I also hoped for the Riddler, so this news sucks.

 

[sestrugen]

something is rising

Spoiler

the hype of course

[WyndhamPrice]

Sounds like Scarecrow will definitely be back if they're going to be using old characters.

And the title is a little meh, just calling it "The Dark Knight Returns" would've been fine I think, but I could understand if they wanted to avoid the Batman -> Batman Returns comparisons.

 

[jdogmoney]

That's a stupid title.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Carmine Falcone? Penguin (as mob boss rather than freak)? Black Mask? Catwoman (o please!)



I can't see it being Mr Freeze.

 

[Solo]

Terrible title :lol

 

[raphier]

Dark Knight Rises? O really?

 

[sixteen-bit]

There is a god.

I don't think Nolan cares for 3D this was expected

I can understand you are eggcited, but I already know the answer:

 

[btkadams]

i hate the fact the title has the dark knight in it again. it makes it seem as if the dark knight was the first movie in a series or something and this new one is the second movie.

 

[Dunlop]

I can't see it being Mr Freeze.

I will never be able to unsee Arnold destroying that villian

 

[Sotha Sil]

Carmine Falcone? Penguin (as mob boss rather than freak)? Black Mask? Catwoman (o please!)



I can't see it being Mr Freeze.

I can't picture a new villain that would fit in Nolan's low-camp Batman universe. The Riddler would have been good.


edit:

I don't think Nolan cares for 3D this was expected

It's always nice to have confirmation

 

[Veidt]

Dark Knight Rises. :lol















Metaru Gia... RISING-UH

 

[Ushojax]

Mr Earle + Scarecrow, please. Are we 100% sure there will be no Joker recast?

 

[Lyonaz]

Talia Al Ghul and Ra's return! I want more Liam Neeson please.

 

[Sapiens]

Pants rises.

 

[Kurtofan]

Black Mask or Bane(if you tame down the venom aspect).

 

[TekkenMaster]

Better title would have been "The Batman"

just "The Batman"

Spoiler

but in Nolan I trust as always

 

[WillyFive]

The Dark Knight Rises is a real title?

That's terrible.

People hated Attack of the Clones' title, but that was inspired and iconic. Dark Knight Rises is the opposite, it's like something a fanboy would title his fan fiction.

 

[Evlar]

I think it's got to be Penguin, possibly recast as a sleazy politician.

"Attack of the Clones" was inspired?

Well the fact that all the fanboys are hating it works against your statement.

 

[anonnumber6]

Glad to see Nolan not jumping on the 3D bandwagon but I am surprised by the exclusion of The Riddler.

But in Nolan we trust.

I think it's got to be Penguin, possibly recast as a sleazy politician.

I don't think Nolan knows exactly how he can get Penguin to fit into the realism of his Batman films. He said this in an interview a while back

"'I'd be more excited to have Philip Seymour Hoffman in the film than to have the Penguin. There are certain characters that are easier to mesh with the more real take on Batman we're doing. The Penguin would be tricky."

 

[TekkenMaster]

I'm hoping for a dangerous, edgy, crazy Harley Quinn. And Catwoman too.

 

[Rezbit]

There's an echo in here....bah I will keep it going.

Shit title...shit title...shit title.....

 

[OneMoreQuestion]

Does Dark Knight: Rising or Rising of the Dark Knight sound better?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Penguin probably could be changed to not be such a cartoon and more into something else.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Talia Al Ghul and Bane would be great choices for villains. Or Two Face not being dead.

Edit: title should have been Detective Comics: The Movie.

 

[SephCast]

Bad title, but I'm sure the movie will be stellar.

It should've been something like Gotham City, or as mentioned above, The Batman.

 

[Escape Goat]

Lame title. We're off to a bad start.

 

[storybook77]

Let's all judge the title before knowing a damn thing about the movie itself! :lol

 

[sixteen-bit]

"Attack of the Clones" was inspired?

dude's gotta be trollin'

 

[chase]

Is Christian Bale still a douche?

 

[WillyFive]

"Attack of the Clones" was inspired?

Early Sci-Fi/Fantasy camp, which is what Lucas took inspiration from for both his Star Wars and Indiana Jones films.

What does The Dark Knight Rises mean?

Well the fact that all the fanboys are hating it works against your statement.

Fanboys compete with each other when it comes to fan fiction.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Would have prefered "Shadow of the Bat"

Dark Knight Rising will be worse than spiderman 3 confirmed
