There Is No Truth to Any Batman 3 Rumors

Source:  MTV’s Splashpage
We all know that The Dark Knight has set a new bar for superhero films, both commercially and artistically, so it only makes sense that everyone on the planet is trying to figure out what is going to happen with the (probably inevitable) sequel. Well, David Goyer recently spoke to MTV to address these rumors. And what did he have to say about the rumor that Johnny Depp, or David Tennant, will play the Riddler? Or that Philip Seymour Hoffman will be the Penguin?

“It’s all B.S.,” he said. “ALL of it.”

Goyer continued, saying “Chris and I haven’t even talked about it. He quite understandably is taking a long, long vacation and wants to purge himself.” Now while Goyer and Nolan haven’t officially bandied ideas about yet, they have loosely discussed themes and ideas. “We have mused here and there [but] I mean Chris is pretty much a one movie at a time kind of guy,” Goyer said. “I wish I could tell you more. There really isn’t anything to tell.”

So, this means that, for the present, there is nothing to announce about a third Batman film from Nolan and company. No villains are set. No casting has been set. Nolan hasn’t even officially signed on for the third movie yet. Will there be a third movie? Almost certainly, but as of now, nothing has been set in stone.

“If and when [Chris is] ready to talk - we’ll talk,” Goyer promises.

nolan succeded in making two-face a tragic character. but he's also one of batman's "bob-kane-brand" age-old villains,and he's been around for a long time. they made his story too short. (to my opinion)nolan would have made more with the character,to make the inpresion that he made more than just seek revenge upon those who destroyed his life,but that he also ruined more lives in the process,like he usualy does in the comics.

Thanks radimus, but I am a chick lol. One last thing- I won't be mad if two-face is dead, just a bit dissapointed. I *will* be mad if there is a plot splicing like there was between 2 and 3 of the old series and there is no acknowledgment of the murders batman claims to have commited and no bruce wayne personnal conflict over the one he actually did commit. In other words I want the third to pick up more or less where the second left off, with gotham thinking batman is the bad guy.

well sure, he could be dead and I wouldn't hate the movie or anything if he was. I would rather they kill him than throw the lazarus pits into the mess, it wouldn't fit the realism and by the fourth movie they'd have Rachel leading Old Yeller out of those stupid pits... eulogy would be a cover up, everyone but Gordon thinks he blew up in the hospital, gordan needs to alert batman so batman can find harvey, but batman is guilt-ridden over harvey's apparent death and publicly on the run from gordan, making him impossible to reach... most importantly though, is your source. Every other rumor gets the response that nolan goes one movie at a time, so this rigidly defined response seems suspicious in comparison. The other deaths in the movies (Ra's and Rachel) have been completely unquestionable and it seems odd that he would break that form without conciously wanting to leave the death more open-ended than the others.

I see what you're saying, Rainy Dae, but Nolan SAID SO HIMSELF, that Two-Face was gone "Toast". Notice the quotations? Should I put in a reference too?
How about this one

http://www.zimbio.com/Batman/articles/650/No+Harvey+Dent+Two+Face+Nolan+Third+Batman

I could list a few others, but what's the point?

If Two-Face is alive, why did they show freak'en Gordon talking at his Eulogy? Did you not pay attention that last minute of the film, Rainy?

Now, if they bring back Ra's al Ghul, and dump Harvey in a Lazarus Pit, maybe I'll take that into consideration...but do you REALLY think Nolan will go that route?

Anyway, Two-Face is dead, in the Nolan version. Nuff said.

'Poor "Soylentgreenanalmonkey", take it mommy had no ice-cream. :(
So you hang out with alot of 13 year old kids who get their dicks sucked? ......nice.

So far you're comebacks have been "Y'all can go fuck yorselves".. "go suck a dick and learn to fucking spell, retard"... "You talk like a fucking 13 year old"...

very mature!and you cut me real deep with the last one. :(
Why don't you put up a decent argument instead of acting like one of the 13 year old boys you like to touch. but to be fair, i don't give a toss what it is. i'm not american."

Uhmmmmmm no. i do NOT hang out with a bunch of 13 year olds who get their dicks sucked. I'm 17 you fucking douche. You DO need to learn to spell and you act like a 13 year old are you sure you're 25?? You have to grow up. And i bet you're the toucher of 13 year olds. Fucking faggot. you make me ashamed to be irish.

And before you say ANYTHING, it took me a while to reply because I have a life.

oh, and fuck you slysnide or whatever the fuck your name is. i've been bashed on this site for at least two months because of my views. Just back the fuck off before you say anyone takes things "too seriously".

Is that a decent argument for ya radimus????

Not really looking forward to a 3rd movie, to be honest. I'm not so keen on being disapointed with sequels and I bet this one will not live up do TDK, if anything, because there's no Joker and no Two Face in it.

they should at least put zasz,black mask,and deadshot in 4.

With all the money this movie made, for sure there gonna be a 3rd movie. Now having the same cast and crew, that's another story...

October 15th, 2008 7:19pm
Diaigma, ALL of the rumors are BS, no sense excluding the disappointing ones. If there's a great plot with Two-Face alive they won't have any trouble using it. Drewski and I are going to go and sit comfortably on the edge of denial now until we've seen the next movie.

October 15th, 2008 10:03am
yeah i think i agree with comrade, they haven't even a script or a full cast yet. and already i'm tried of hearing about the next Batman movie.

Bring back Val Kilmer!
  (Delete)
October 15th, 2008 9:45am
Look, the movie's coming, and I guarantee you it will be more top secret than TDK, so we won't know shit until they want us to.

Thing is, I think they've already burned through their hype with casual fans... the third movie won't do as well.

That Burn America retard said the same thing about what he said to Radimus to me a few months back, and I'm not American either. So BA, go play with some gunpowder and matches and Burn Yourself.

Rad isn't even american...I was going to insert the term "douchebag" after that comment, but ur not worth it seeing as how ur just a fake profile or spammer...

2-face is dead. What the hell else are they gonna do with him? His story has been told and his purpose has been met. Leave him be...this is the part where i insert "douchebags"

Joker should return...escaping from arkham and followed by harley quinn and Two-face...Johnny Deep should play the Joker...rest in peace Heath Ledger

riddler,catwomen for the next one, then the final movie have joker,harley quinn and a brief part of scarecrow like kill him off or something? and also the last one should have penguin in it "but" only get as much screen time as two face. and have it 3 hrs, long! the next one should be just a little over 2 hrs and have a brief part for joker.
  (Delete)
October 14th, 2008 8:41am
Harvey Dents so-called death is just a cover-up so the public wont find out what bacame of him, being locked up in Arkham Asylam along with the joker in a room across from him...
