Morgan Freeman Says He KNOWS Christopher Nolan Will Make Another Batman Movie

The veteran actor who played Lucias Fox in both Nolan Bat movies says he is sure the director has another movie on his mind, and he names the villain he would most like to see...

Batman rumors are as common as Spidey ones on here, but this is perhaps just a bit more positive. Speaking to MTV Morgan Freeman spoke about the possible third Batman movie from Chris Nolan...

"I know—I just KNOW—that Chris is working on number three. He couldn't possibly not be"

But, the actor admits that he doesn't have any solid information, just a gut feeling..

"I'm not waiting by the phone," he said. "I don't know anything at all about it. 'Batman' is completely out of my mind."

He also seems certain that if another movie happens, both he and Michael Caine(Alfred) would be back..

"What I don't know is how that story is going to play out—where it's going to be and who's going to be in it," he said. "There's a good chance he would incorporate Lucius Fox and Alfred."

As to the next villain Nolan may use, Freeman likes the feline leather look it seems..

"I want to see Catwoman," he said. "I have [a casting] idea, but it's just an idea and I'm going to keep it to myself."

Good choice Mr Freeman.



Real solid Batman 3 news is pretty much non existent at this point. All we do know for certain is that Christopher Nolan is still shooting his post-Dark Knight Sci-Fi thriller Inception which isn't due in theaters until summer 2010. We also know he is contacted to do a third movies, as is Christian Bale. But we also know there are always ways around these things if Nolan decided he really did not want to revisit Gotham. So come on Chris, throw us a frickin bone here!

Here's to hoping! I just don't want some schmuck to come in and ruin the franchise. Just makes me nervous, as WB has said they'll go on without Nolan.

Gotta love Morgan Freeman. No where does he claim he knows anything more than we do, he's just saying that he'd really like another batman just like the rest of us.

This will happen in time. And I'm cool with waiting for it to be done right.

How can you not trust Morgan Freeman? A nuclear bomb could be headed right for me IN PLAIN SIGHT and he'd just say "Don't worry you're gonna be fine" and I'd know he was telling the truth :)............well.....y'know...right before I get disintegrated in a fiery death of radiation...but that's not the point GODDAMNIT!!!! :P

I really HOPE that is is NOT catwoman!IMO

I really want DEATHSTROKE..but that makes more sence
for a TEEN TITANS movie... maybe DEADSHOT!

@Ryden - LMAO You know, that's more or less what I was thinking too. Maybe we just need him to talk to Nolan and tell him that he knows Nolan will do the next one. Then the next day, after Nolan has been suitably mesmerized by the sound of Morgan Freeman's voice, he'll announce he's ready to do the next movie and that a non-Halle Berry Catwoman will be in it.

I hope so too Brent..lets hope working so closely with Nolan on 2 movies means he has some idea of his mind set!

PP, I would love Deadshot too..but I think Catwoman opens more storyline possibilities, and a dynamic we haven't seen yet(In Nolan's movies anyway. she's also the most likely studio choice because without Dawes, there is no female lead character/love interest..and we all know they are a staple!

I want Riddler, Black Mask, and Deadshot (as an assassin hired by BM to take Bats out in like 2 scenes).

I know a lot of people on this site don't like Riddler, but I think he could work as one of a couple other villains. Definitely not as the only villain though.

Riddler hired by GCPD to help in hunt for Bats, Black Mask rising as new crime boss, Deadshot hired to kill Batman. I think those plot threads would work well together.

Save Deathstroke for Teen Titans.

I think the next villains should be Firefly, Black Mask, and Bane.

Riddler is cool but he has been done already. Bring in someone no one has seen before and it would be amazing.

I love Morgan Freeman. If someone was to narrate my life i would want it to be him. If he told me "Hey i'm going to kill you and then rape your mother and then rape your dead body," i would be like "Oh Mr. Freeman what a kidder."

Morgan Freeman's voice makes anything sound interesting. If he narrated me drinking a cup of coffee in the morning, I'd be legitimately engaged to drink my coffee. It's that cool ;)

Great news! I cant wait to see if Nolan can top the greatness of TDK!!

ROR: I checked out a few of your fan casts...they're excellent man! You should get back into making them! :)

He should stop on the 2nd movie. The 3rd movies always suck like the 3rd matrix movie 3rd x men movie , spiderman 3 blade 3 and so on and so on.

luffycapri: You're not wrong about that but if anyone can break the cycle, its Nolan!

Ror- I hear what you are saying (about the love intrest)
but catwoman!?, she was great in BATMAN: RETURNS

should they go down that R.I.P path? for
the third movie...I wonder?

MarkCassidy - 12/8/2009, 5:59 PM
Miss Jezebel Jet! Yeah she was cool, but there is no way Nolan would use her. Although we have seen Catwoman already once(That Halle Berry shite doesn't count) and a great turn by Michelle Phiefer, the best version of the character has not been done yet..the hooker who retaliates against her violent pimp. That would be perfect for Nolan's world I think.

RIP was good, but I wouldn't want them to focus on that for the next movie. Ideally I would like them to set it years in the future, age everyone up and make TDKR..but thats never gonna happen!

ya you guys are right about morgan freeman's voice he narrates some of the planet earth episodes and its awesome(that show could have no sound and still be soooo kickass)....but like him i do have a gut feeling that nolans gonna do another one i mean he hasnt said he wont be and hes still filming inception so just give it some time and well be hearing news about this early next year

I say no to RIP. I thought it was confusing as shit. If they go that route, bring in David Lynch to confuse the shit out of people a la Mulholland Dr. Why not bring in Talia al Ghul, looking for revenge for the "death" of her father.

antz1104- WHAT A GREAT QUOET!! NOW THA'S BATMAN!

Ror- THAT'S WHAT HER NAME WAS! as for phiefer you are right that was the best catwoman performance and I know
her and batman have alot of history, it could be intresting if they made the right story to go with it.
is it going to be friend-turned foe-turned friend type of thing?

AND I'M NOT TO SURE ABOUT TDKR, coming from NOLEN,
LET'S LEAVE THAT FOR ZACK SNYDER! LOL

I would love to see a Batman/Judge Dredd team up. It won't ever happen just like a Marvel/DC movie. But even though alot of people don't like him Riddler would be good. But if they want to kill the franchise they could make Bruce Wayne - Agent of Shield.

I do like Black Mask too..kind of! I mean he has some good moments but ultimately he's just another crime boss. They could use both him and Catwoman and tie in their history in the comics. She killed him after all!
Ryden
Ryden - 12/8/2009, 6:30 PM
I think for the next one Catwoman and the Riddler are the most likley to show up. Catwoman for, as Ror said, a new female lead and to show a new plot twist with Bruce. Maybe feeling a little guilty for liking Catwoman when the love of his life only died not long ago. Also the Riddler would be great. I love the idea of the OCD Riddler. Like he's a genius and can pull the greatest hesists in human history but his one flaw is his obsession with Riddles. He needs a challenge and he sees Batman as his only real competitor. I don't think the riddle's should be obvious like the old school Batman or the Carrey versions. It needs to be something hidden, something subliminal even..you don't notice it right away.

@Demonhunter- lol :D

i hope they make batman 3

ryden- i agree with you in the riddles that they need to make them hard to make the audiction even want to know what it is and if batman dosent get the riddle on time the riddler might blow up or do something to gotham city
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 12/8/2009, 6:47 PM
I think the most likely villains are, 1, Riddler, 2, Catwoman, and, 3, Black Mask, he fits in with the whole mob angle Nolan's Bat-films have included.

"Should do fine against cats" - love that line :)

@SirPrize: LMFAO!!!!! But Tiger's wife might just kick Batman's a$$ too (that or Batman will kick Tiger's a$$)!!! But maybe not, I think she's saving the 5 iron (I know nothing about golf, so correct me if I'm wrong) for Tiger... BUt he sure could handle Cage's bankruptcy...

Now look what we have here...


Happy Holidays!!!
