Page 1 of The Dark Knight Rises: Batman 3

Title announced.

Riddler is not the bad guy.  Thought I`d try and keep title as generic as possible as they generally look stupid by the time the film comes out :)

Possibly return of Two-Face also, which has been rumoured for a while.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. What seems to be the news of the day comes from an exclusive interview with Christopher Nolan by my buddy Geoff Boucher over at the Hero Complex Blog in which he unveils the title, eliminates The Riddler as a possible villain.

We`ve been hearing that a female lead casting notice has gone out, which does point to the possibility of Catwoman, but then again... Bruce needs a woman since his didn`t quite make it out of the last film, so it could be as simple as a new Rachel-like character.

Nolan was the most eager to discuss that WB has agreed to let him shoot the film without 3D and that his signature use of IMAX technology will return for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.

Read more of the interview here. The real interesting stuff is Boucher`s pondering on the title and it possibly meaning a return of a still living Two-Face. He mentions visiting the set of The Dark Knight where Nolan told him that The Dark Knight refers just as much to Harvey Dent as it does to Batman.

Food for thought. Anyway, give it a read and let`s get the discussion started below!

I don`t fully believe this will be the final title. Aside from being completely awful, it`s too similar to the second film.

`Gotham` would have been much better.

Bane for the villain - make it so!

I agree with Gareth. I`d be amazed if this is the final title for the film - surely Nolan`s too clever for that?

Anne Hathaway`s purr-fect Batman role

2011 is certainly gearing up to be a big year for Anne Hathaway as the actress has landed the coveted role of Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman, in the next instalment of the Batman franchise, `The Dark Knight Rises`.

The actress will be following in the footsteps of Michelle Pfeiffer and, less successfully, Halle Berry.

Christian Bale is returning as the film`s hero, and BAFTA-nominated Tom Hardy will be playing the villain Bane.

Oooh good choice for Catwoman, be interesting to see how she plays it. And no I don`t mean clothes wise. :p

That would be ep 2 ;)

Eeek, my bad. I can`t even remember what 3 was called now, not that they are any good. :)

Revenge of the Sith. I think it was a nod to the fact that Return of the Jedi was originally planned to be Revenge of the Jedi but Revenge was later deemed to be something a Jedi wouldn`t do. Clearly for the prequels though the Sith have no qualms about Revenge.

Back on topic, I`m a big fan of Hathaway so thats a good choice for me. Some of the other names thrown around such as Angelina Jolie were just silly but Hathaway is a versatile actress who will also benefit in this role from the fact she has a nice bottom. 
Tom Hardy is a good choice as I liked him in Inception, not seen him in much else tbh but think he may need to bulk up for Bane.

Apparently it`s going to have the most IMAX scenes of any film so far at more than an hour`s worth (compared to TDK`s 40 mins).

New trailer will be attached to The Avengers too :)

lol wtf did they do to Bane`s voice?
