If we were to fol­low the same plan­ning time frame as ‘Begins’-to-‘Knight’, then I think it’s safe to say that an announce­ment for the next villain(s) and casting(s) will hap­pen at around June-July of this year.

This is great news for sure. How­ever; I pray and hope that Christo­pher con­nects Dark night to the 3rd install­ment. I also hope a great, not ridicules actor is hired; and by all means no fuck­ing Robin…please do not intro­duce Robin char­ac­ter at all. They can reveal Bar­bara Gor­dan and sort of explain what hap­pen to her mother and brother that brought her to dawn the cape and cow. How­ever, please don’t bring Robin or the fol­low­ing stu­pid vil­lains. Mr. Freeze, Pen­guin, Croc, Toy man which leaves only Cat woman and the Rid­dler. I think with enough thought, this could be a great story that would com­pletely erase the Joel schomo­cer monstrosities.

I read some­thing about Christo­pher Lloyd play­ing Pro­fes­sor Hugo Strange. I have never heard of this guy so I am guess­ing he wouldn’t be the main vil­lain. I am guess­ing it would be like the cameo by The Scare­crow in The Dark Night. But I can’t seem to find where I read that online.

I think he (nolan) should go ahead with his orig­i­nal script. if u look at a Joseph gor­don levitt, he looks sim­i­lar to ledger & was a friend of his. I Levitt can act half as good as ledger, go ahead with a mod­i­fied ver­sion of his orig­i­nal script. with lim­ited shot of the joker, and Edward Nigma as the vil­lian. With edward nigma as the brains, and Bane as the mus­cle. then throw in talia al gul as wild slash love interest.

the cast i would like to see;
The Joker: Joseph gor­don levitt
Edward Nigma: Ryan Reynolds– the rid­dler also used the venom.
Talia al Gul: Kate Beck­in­sale
Bane:Nathan Jones-Hercules O’Brien (Fear­less 2006)

Alright, I want to see a state of the art Wayne Manor combo Bat­cave that lacks for noth­ing. Think about it. Here is one of the rich­est men in the world with access to advanced tech­nolo­gies. I want to be daz­zled and see things that only money and genious can access and buy. Fur­ther­more, Bruce Wayne should get up in the morn­ing and have to go through 10 strengh and sta­mina exer­cises before he evens hits the head or has a bite to eat. I can­not empha­size this enough. This guy has to be steel from head to foot. Show us his rou­tine and how he does that daily is a must. For that mat­ter, I want to see more gad­gets and giz­mos with­out the cheese if you please. Make it real! Lets really approach this in detail. Also, an enemy who is dying with noth­ing to lose and who has attrib­utes like speed, agility or immu­ni­ties would be inter­est­ing. He should not be hard to catch, just hard to keep caught. He would die at the end of the movie, but would cre­ate chal­lenges galore for the Bat­man. As for Robin, at some point, he has to make an appear­ance. His selec­tion, train­ing, and devo­tion would make a good sto­ry­line if done prop­erly. Then, hav­ing two crime fight­ers who are excep­tional and extra­or­di­nary would give birth to their coun­ter­parts in the world of vil­lany. Lets get this show on the road!

The Night January 8th, 2010

Per­son­ally i think that they can’t replace joker with a char­ac­ter though i dont think they should cut him out of the movie. I think they could have him ( just a voice in arkam) as all hell breaks loose in gotham and have him sink into the shad­ows for the rest of the movie so they can think what to do with him but not com­plet­ley get rid of him. I do want to see the bat­cave again in this one as well as arkam in detail. I reckon that they should not have Robin in the movie as Bat­man is still in in his early days , and they cant bring robin in any­way as two face is sup­poas­edly dead and he caused robin to be an orphin. Nolan will not use poi­son ivy bane and mr freeze as they have actu­all super pow­ers (tough i would love to see nolans por­trayal of bane). I do how­ever like the idea of the vil­lain who is dying with noth­ing to loose and every­thing to gain but he/she would be a side vil­lain because they would have to have a famous well known vil­lain for the movie to be a suc­cess. I think the rid­dler is a sound choice but he could prove to sim­i­lar to the joker. As for cat­woman , NO. though she may be a good char­ac­ter i think they need some­one who is more mys­te­ri­ous and allud­ing and not already tainted by hal­ley bareys take. I think the rid­dler and either black mask or pen­guin (if done right) is a def­i­nite pos­si­bil­ity. Give nolan time and lit­tle pres­sure and he will surely make another masterpiece.

Dr. Payne January 27th, 2010

Fol­low­ing is not offi­cial news, just my per­sonal thoughts

Robin will not be in this movie. Two-Face is dead, and he is the one (fol­low­ing the comics, as the fran­chise has so far)who causes robin to be an orphan and begin his inter­ac­tion with Bruce Wayne.

Poi­son Ivy will not be in this movie, because she is gifted with actual superpowers.

Dr. Freize is a pos­si­bil­ity because he does not have super­pow­ers, but a mechan­i­cal suit that acts as an envi­ron­ment in which he can live and manip­u­late ice.

The Rid­dler is a coin toss at best, I’ve always thought of him as being too sim­i­lar to the Joker. Played well, per­haps by –Michael C. Hall– he could be a good fit.

The Pen­guin could only be well done if it was a high-level mob boss with an affin­ity for pen­guins. But it still seems a lit­tle far fetched.
Also, you can for­get Catwoman(R.I.P.)

Which leaves Bane, Black Mask, Talia al Ghoul, The Rid­dler, Dr. Freize as the only log­i­cal choices.

Unless we recast the Joker. It can be done. The Joker is the only wor­thy oppo­nent of Bat­man, they have been since the begin­ing and if they com­pletely close off the char­ac­ter now that the actor that played the role is dead, i will tru­ely lose faith in Bat­man, and indeed, DC as a company.

Ridge February 10th, 2010

I like the idea of Phillip Sey­more Hoff­man as Peguin and as a mob­boss who has an affin­ity for peguins. I think Poi­son Ivy is a legit­i­mate vil­lian sure she had super­pow­ers in the car­toons and comics but so did Scare­crow, she could just use poi­sons from what she learned from being a botanaist or some­thing. As for Rid­dler who I beleve to be the front run­ner for the next vil­lian it will probally be Jonny Depp if the money is right, but other good choices may be Ryan Reynolds and Robert Downy Jr. Cant see them recast­ing Joker Heath Ledger was per­fect and nobody would live up to him in the same series(exp. Dum­b­le­dore in Harry Potter).

Brother Paul February 12th, 2010

How about this: Johnny Depp plays the Rid­dler who breaks the Joker out of Arkham played by none other than Johnny Depp. Within min­utes of break­ing him out of Arkham, he kills the Joker.

That way, the Joker is only replaced by Ledger’s bril­liance for mere moments by the one man who could pos­si­bly pull off both roles, and then fin­ishes the Joker once and for all, thus mak­ing the Rid­dler a darker side of evil for hav­ing pulled off the mur­der of his biggest rival, by mak­ing him think he was help­ing him.

The Pen­guin is sup­posed to be a British arms dealer, as I under­stand it, which is a slight depar­ture from the car­toon­ish ver­son played by Burgess Mered­ith (who did do a good job for what he had to work with at the time.)

Any­how, if you’re look­ing Goyer, there’s your open­ing plot line. (No charge, but if anybody’s inter­ested in hir­ing me for future projects, I wouldn’t be adverse to look­ing at what you’re offering.)

Make it a great day!

Johnny Depp can def­i­nitely outdo Heath Ledger as the Joker. But any­way, no point in bring­ing back the Joker, it will look stale. How about Clay­face? That will bring about a real emo­tional core to the story.

But any­way, now that Rachel is dead, the direc­tor wanna intro­duce a new female lead char­ac­ter. That could also be in the form of a vil­lain­ess. Cat­woman or Poi­son Ivy.

My top 5 choices for Catwoman.

1. Kirsten Dunst
2. Kate Hud­son
3. Christina Ricci
4. Lind­sey Lohan
5. Kat Dennings

My top 5 choices for Poi­son Ivy.

1. Angelina Jolie
2. Megan Fox
3. Selma Blair
4. Anne Hath­away
5. Beyonce

Because Heath ledger died the sequel replace­ment for Dark Knight Sequel is going to be the hard­est replace­ment fol­lowup in hol­ly­wood history.

But here is what you might see at the end of 2011. The cast would have reg­u­lars Chris­t­ian Bale, Gary Old­man, Micheal Cane, Mor­gan Free­man, new joker along with 2 new villians

Bat­man Begins (2005) Scare­crow, Al Ghul
The Dark Knight (2008) The Joker, Two Face
The Dark Knight Con­tin­ues (2011) The Joker,The Riddler,Black Mask
Dark Knight’s Legacy (2014) Mr. Freeze, ??

cant wait tosee this i heard that Megan Fox will be cat woman dont know if its true thou

robert mclamb July 25th, 2010

if Johnny Depp becomes rid­dler for the next fran­chise, I would hope that Jim Car­rey should be joker!!

andre July 31st, 2010

i know for sure that this 1 will have either a batgirl/woman or a cat­woman i saw a leaked photo with the dark knight and a woman next to him in a simalar cos­tume to his it looked like a bat­woman but it might be the catwoman
