Yes, Chris Nolan has confirmed the name of Summer 2012's Batman 3. He also eliminated Edward Nigma from the possible villians list. I'm placing all bets on a 2-villian storyline with Two-Face returning (people who feel he is plainly dead at the end of TDK really confuse me. We see no body, just a casket being lowered. And Dent's final coin toss lands heads-up. Even in the theater I took it as Batman and Gordon deciding the city would benefit from BELIEVING their hero to be dead... instead of transformed into a monster) and a second villian played by the recently-cast Tom Hardy. Judging from his build and the revealed shooting location of New Orleans I am betting on Killer Croc. That would be fucking awesome, because it would be the first instance in the entire trilogy to veer Nolan's take on Batman from a dedicated realism into more actually COMIC BOOK territory. That one thing is what could seal the deal for me. He won't get another Ledger performance from anyone, he won't find another villian as iconic to the canon as Joker, so the one thing he can provide to us is to finally give us a taste of pure comic book unreality. Go with the Return Of The Jedi approach and just make it funner. Also announced is it will be shot in IMAX and not 3D, which is the best choice on many levels, as it will be filmed the same way as the first two installments for the sake of consistency when watching the trilogy, and also the sharper image quality better suits Nolan's photo-centric directorial style (this is the same reason I wouldn't want to see a Mike Bay movie shot in 3D.)
So, yeah, fuck... Batman 3.
COME OONNNNNNNNNN TWO-FACE AND KILLER CROC, god I hope I'm right.
