Official Batman 3 Details Coming January 2010
That’s the word according to heavyweight Batman news source, Batman-On-Film. According to die-hard Batman fanatic, Jett, Warner Bros and director Christopher Nolan are due to come to a decision on Batman 3 early next year. Since the phenominal success of The Dark Knight last year, fans have been clamouring for an official announcement regarding a possible third installment.
There’s some scuttlebutt that in early 2010, Warner Bros. and Chris Nolan will finalize the plan for BATMAN 3, according to a solid and longtime BOF source. Whether there will be an announcement or not remains to be seen.
Our guy told BOF that in his opinion, the longer we don’t here a Nolan/B3 announcement in 2010, the less likely it is that the director will return. (I don’t know if I necessarily agree with that since I’m of the belief that Chris has already signed on.)
I would agree with Jett in this instance and say that, in all likelihood Nolan is already signed on for the picture. If he isn’t then I’d be surprised if we see another Batman film before, say, 2014. Nolan’s latest (and greatest?) release – Inception, hits Summer 2010 meaning that the PR will begin earlier in the year, hopefully Nolan will have something more concrete for us then, as BOF points out:
The wildcard here in my opinion is INCEPTION. Will Warner Bros. want to announce B3 before, during, or after the marketing/publicity blitz for that film? I say if Mr. Nolan is returning (and I think that’s a definite), they might as well go ahead and make the announcement in early 2010. Nolan’s going to get peppered with B3 questions either way while he’s out doing press for INCEPTION anyway, so I don’t see any sense in keeping it a secret.
Regardless, our source also confirmed the obvious — there’s going to be a BATMAN 3 with or without Nolan. And although they’re operating under the assumption that he will return, they do have their ducks in a row — just in case.
So keep ‘em peeled early 2010 for some more details – hopefully contrete ones. In the meantime anything else can be chalked up as speculation.
