Did I get your attention? Good. Now, before you get too excited, let me clarify...

While there has been no official studio announcement that director Christopher Nolan will return for a third installment of the new Batman franchise. A recent announcement purports that Nolan is leaving the production of The Prisoner to focus on development of the next Batman film.

Back in June, actor Christian Bale lamented that he is obligated to appear as Bruce Wayne/Batman in a third Batman movie, but that Nolan had no such contract stipulation to direct.

"I truly don't know that we're ever going to see another Batman movie. It would be purely that (Nolan) would need to find a story that was good enough and if he couldn't find that it wouldn't happen."

Bale went on to say that he didn't want to consider playing Batman without Nolan at the helm.

"I don't even want to think about that. I don't know if there will be a third."

As I said on Rorschach01's article about The Penguin, I think that Nolan is the perfect guy for the job! GREAT NEWS! :)

HAWK- i think you're on to something there fellah!

And i would be delighted if he came back for the third and final instalment before Batsy goes DC. But i'd like this film to be "another day in the life of" kinda concept. I don't really want to see a direct sequel to TDK. He'll never top it. It should be concidered as a stand alone film IMO.

Brent! I had absolute faith in your news, but come on pal? Weak article...it was posted yesterday, and your title is very very misleading, providing no evidence to back it up. You just broke my heart.

@ozy! I'm curious to see zac snyder take on a project that is original. 300 AND Watchmen were amazing movies, but really all he did was use the book for storyboard(which was a brilliant idea) But I wanna see some of this mans ideas. Bring him in!!!!

Yep...lots of misleading stuff lately. But hey, even if it was reported yesterday, it is still a step in the right direction. I hope it pans out!

Yeah i've read some info on suckerpunch! Sounds like it could be a good one. But as for original ideas I meant a comic book movie that isnt a graphic novel story. So I wanna see him do an orginal batman story, or any character would be cool.

@Tuscan I appreciate the effort, but do we all really have to rehash the "hottest G4 chic" argument?

Morgan Webb, hands down!

@Teabag, THANKS!
