i've got some bad news guys....huhuhu....

To me its good news.

That's the overriding question. On a more superficial level, I have to ask the question: How many good third movies in a franchise can people name? [Laughs.] At the same time, in taking on the second one, we had the challenge of trying to make a great second movie, and there haven't been too many of those either. It's all about the story really. If the story is there, everything is possible."

At least Nolan is not that money-minded.

Like he mentioned earlier, TDK completely stand on its own and hits the point where no other possible sequels will top it if he intend to continue the Batman franchise.

Harvey Dent: You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain.

But Lord of the Ring : The Return of the King wasn't that bad, right ?
At least Christopher Nolan's Batman series deserve a 3rd sequel I'd said.

Fans want Depp and Jolie in next Batman movie



Give audiences a blockbuster Batman movie called “The Dark Knight” with zany villains, and all of a sudden everyone’s a casting director.
   
A survey by movie rental company Blockbuster has found Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie — in that order — are the top two favorites of fans for starring roles in an expected next Batman film.
   
Keith Leopard, director of film product for Blockbuster, said Depp or Jolie could really bring a Batman villain to life.  However it will be up to Warner Bros, the studio behind the film,  to cast the next Batman movie.



The survey also listed fans most requested villains for the next Batman movie are: The Riddler (a clue-giving criminal); Harley Quinn (a Harlequin jester); Cat Woman (Batman’s bad girl love interest); The Penguin (a mobster with a penchant for umbrellas); and Bane (a muscle-bound foe).
   
Several of those characters have appeared in Batman movies since Warner Bros launched the modern version of the movie saga in 1989. Notably, The Penguin was played by Danny DeVito in 1992 and comedian Jim Carrey took a turn as The Riddler in 1995.
   
“The Dark Knight” has made nearly $1 billion worldwide since it opened on July 18, and the late Heath Ledger has been talked about as a possible Oscar contender for his role as The Joker in the film.

Most requested actors:

1.      Johnny Depp
2.      Angelina Jolie
3.      Natalie Portman
4.      Edward Norton
5.      Keira Knightley
6.      Daniel Day-Lewis
7.      Philip Seymour Hoffman
8.      Viggo Mortensen
9.      Kevin Spacey
10.    Clive Owen

JD and AJ ftw. Others just can't imagine .

To be honest, they're quite overated. Sure JD's portrayal of the psycho writer in Secret Windows is awesome, but that doesnt mean his perfectly fit to be The Riddler. In the comic, The Riddler is decisive, manipulative and likes to prove he's formidably intelligent than others without getting his hands dirty, I dont see any of that in JD at all! Same goes to AJ...

Is Batman 3 a Go?



The next Batman installment is alive and kicking—definitely. We already mentioned today certain Warners sources are leaking to us that Rachel Weisz is being considered for the Catwoman role, too fab. But Warners officially isn't saying bubkes. But other insiders working on the next installment, to follow up where The Dark Knight left off, say it's all so a go:

Despite some recent interviews in which he down-played the possibility of returning as director again, Christopher Nolan (who helmed Knight) will for sure be back directing the third flick, we're assured by a production mole. Christian Bale will obviously rejoin his director pal, and we're very pleased to report that he'll be playing a "sexier" Bruce Wayne. This is heaven-sent news, as, let's face it, Bale couldn't have looked any more constipated in that last flick.

Never mind. And as for Catwoman casting, look, when we chatted with Aaron Eckhart not long ago, he blabbed that he would love to see Angelina Jolie play the role. Well, sorry babes, as we spilled earlier today, Weisz is the one more likely, at this point, to be signed on to play the sexy puss. After all, Angie has her claws out enough in real life, right?

By the by, even though Warners did not comment on any of the above movie talk, additional studio sources did confirm it's certainly "expected" Bale and Nolan will be back, pending a script which is being written as we gossip. However, let's not forget the most important Batman buzz of all, right?

Who dare fill Heath's shoes? A Batman movie is only as good as the villain, right? Don't believe me? Just watch the Oscars next February, and let's discuss after Heath nabs one of those babies posthumously.

So. Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin? Johnny Depp as anyone? Robert Pattinson as The Joker?

Spencer Pratt as himself? Jeez, the sky's the friggin' limit these days. Me? I vote for Pattinson. I just don't buy that dude as a nonhuman blood-sucking vampire anyway, you?

Eddie Murphy And Shia LaBeouf Are Not In Batman 3



Here’s yet another Batman 3 casting rumor for you to chew on, along with the Rachel Weisz as Catwoman gossip from yesterday. The Sun claims that Eddie Murphy has been signed to play the Riddler and Shia LaBeouf is set to play Robin. This is entirely untrue.

We spoke to a proven industry source of ours earlier tonight who confirmed to us not only that the rumor is a fake, but where and how The Sun got their information. Unfortunately, in order to protect our source's anonymity we can’t tell you. Ain’t that fun? But we're certain, there’s no truth to this at all.

Besides, you don’t need us to tell you that British newspapers have pretty much the worst track record ever when it comes to breaking movie news. They’re nearly always wrong. Well they’re wrong again.

That same proven source however says that Rachel Weisz is a real possibility to play Catwoman. That’s not wrong. Also correct are the rumors that Nolan is actually ready to start making it. Our insider insists that the movie is further along than we’ve all been lead to believe. Nolan is back, Bale is back, and so is Michael Caine. The rest is still up in the air.
