Batman 3 Rumors

Word is that Jonah and Chris Nolan came up with a plan for a trilogy with writer David Goyer when they wrote Batman Begins. Jonah is reported as well to have already begun work on the third movie.

Potential spoilers for said third movie after the cut.

Today comes word that not only will the Joker survive The Dark Knight, but that he will play a major role in the third movie as well as another famous face:

As previously established by the filmmakers, Two-Face will serve as the main villain in the third Bat film and the transformation of Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) into the villain looks likely to take place late in events in The Dark Knight.

Now comes this report that unlike many a Bat-villain before him, The Joker will apparently survive the events of The Dark Knight and will make an appearance in the third film (much like talk of Cillian Murphy’s The Scarecrow from Batman Begins making an appearance in The Dark Knight).

It also reports that hint of Catwoman will appear in The Dark Knight whilst the character will figure into the action in the third film. The script for the third film has yet to be written, though Knight [scribe] Jonah Nolan is already said to have done some preliminary work on it.

Let the casting rumors for Catwoman begin!
