New reports reveal actors Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have all signed to star in a second Batman movie, but love interest Katie Holmes has been dropped.
Warner Bros. are thrilled with the response to Batman Begins as it took $46.9 million in its first weekend in the US box office and have recruited the film's stars for an upcoming sequel.
Christian Bale (Batman) was the first to sign, followed by Michael Caine (Alfred), and Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox).
A source also tells PageSix.com, "Everyone is in agreement that the movie's strength is with Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman."
Then adding of Katie Holmes, "She won't be in the sequel... the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress."
"Warner is happy that people are now focusing on who'll be playing the JOKER rather than Katie and Tom."
