In an exclusive interview with UK website, Digital Spy, the actor who played Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth in both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight has revealed exactly when filming will start on the currently unnamed third installment of the superhero series.



""I think they're going to do it in April, that's about as much as I know."

This of course confirms earlier rumours and reports that the movie is set to start filming as soon as next March and with the recent news that the script has been completed by Jonathan Nolan, we'll hopefully start hearing more and more about Batman 3 in the coming months!

Christopher Nolan's next movie, Inception opens in the UK on July 16 while Batman 3 is due in cinemas on July 20, 2012!

Michael Caine is one of my fave actors
but I think he's been hittin' the sauce
hard lately cuz he has talked through his
ass before about Dark Knight 3.

I will take this with a grain of salt!
DDD

I think Michael Caine has realized the power of being Michael Caine and is starting to abuse it. Basically, Michael Caine could walk up to me on the street and tell me anything and I would believe it.

...Wasn't quite the one at the waterpark, but it was labeled THE REVENGE! Full of angst! And a shark GETTING REVENGE is the godammed scariest thing ever, lol.

Michael Caine Just needs to shut his [Frick]ing mouth when it comes to Batman 3. He doesn't really know ANYTHING! He's already made that clear. Oh, I have an idea, Kill Alfred off in Batman 3! lol . . . yea
DDD
DDD - 7/9/2010, 4:43 AM
Hey, they should make a Jaws vs Orca!

Man, that would be KILLER!
JoshCharmley
JoshCharmley - 7/9/2010, 4:44 AM
@DDD lol orca was the SIHT!

Yeah, Titanic vs Poseidon: Battleships!

The only problem with that is
there is no winner in the battle!
They both lose! lol

Hey, you sank my battleship!
lmao

A lot of negative remarks aimed at Michael Caine here. He said "he thinks they're doing it next Spring", it's the headline of this article that said it's been confirmed.

@ JoshCharmley - "He doesn't really know anything". He probably knows very little about the film, but he knows more than you about it.

Lol that Titantic vs Poseidon doesn't even make sense unless it's a sinking contest lol.

They could even make three of them...a duel

Michael Caine is DC's Stan Lee. He wouldn't know shit if it came out of his ass.

antz1104 - 7/9/2010, 5:29 AM
Jaws crew hands down: "HOOOOOOOOOOOPPAAAAAAA!"

@RyKnow It does not matter what he does or does not know, I'm just saying he needs to just keep hi goddamned mouth shut when it comes to Batman 3. He has already ran his mouth off on other things regarding the film, and caused rumors about the film, which Nolan has already said he is tired of. I just think the guy should just keep quiet. Otherwise he may hurt the film.

Hey, Shaman! Great avatar by the way!

Michael Caine just Pisses me off, I can't help it. lol
DDD
DDD - 7/9/2010, 5:48 AM
Oh, geez just feel the love in da room!
lol

I just hope Nolan with Dark Knight 3 gets back to
basics like Batman Begins so it can set Batman up
for the JLA movie. I think he can do it.

antz1104 - 7/9/2010, 5:54 AM
I just want a kick ass batcave, maybe even a giant penny and a robotic t-rex, lol.

tea/DDD: LMAO guys! :D

Personally, I'm a huge fan of Michael Caine's and Christopher Nolan's! I guess that because I'm not really into Batman or DC all that much (although I have dozens of story arcs featuring him that I love) the changes Nolan has made dont bother me in the least! If it was a Marvel character like Daredevil or Spider-Man, then I'd probably feel a lot different though so I get why a few of you arent huge fans of what he's done with the character!

If there was a few things I'd like to see Nolan do a little more faithfully next time though, it would be Batman's skills as a detective and a decent Batcave full of gadgets, easter eggs and nods to the comic books! :P

I'm going to half agree with Shaman. Michael Caine may not be that in the loop, like Stan, but he gets a pass, like Stan, because he's Michael Caine and that's awesome.

Besides that, this is a pretty simple statement and its our own fault if we pin our hopes to it. Why should he care if what he says affects some fanboys? I wouldn't. I'd be secure in the fact I was Michael Caine. I've made dozens of great movies, now I'm old, and I'm still making great movies, so why should I care what people think.
DDD
DDD - 7/9/2010, 5:59 AM
I want a lead actress in Batman that is
actually extremely attractive cuz Gylenhall
does not do it for me whatsoever! I was
actually glad when she got blown away!
Sorry that's just how I feel!

DDD- "I just hope Nolan with Dark Knight 3 gets back to

Man if you only knew how much i agree with you on that!!! Thanks for the compliment on my avatar. It doesn't make me look fat does it?

Mass- You sure do have a point. I still like Caine as much as Stan LOL They're the coolest senile old farts the industry has LOL
DDD
DDD - 7/9/2010, 6:03 AM
Josh@ yeah, I'm a huge fan of Michael Caine's
(and I mean HUGE) so I think he should get a
pass like you said Massex@!
DDD
DDD - 7/9/2010, 6:05 AM
Shaman@ I can't tell if you look fat or not...
I can't see anything past that gawddamm huge
nose!

Tea & DDD- That's years of alcohol abuse for ya ;P
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 7/9/2010, 6:09 AM
DDD: What exactly is it you like more about Batman Begins than The Dark Knight? Personally, I found the first movie all a bit boring! I thought that the origins were dragged out for far too long and the villains were just uninteresting to me for the most part! Don't get me wrong, it was a brilliantly made and excellently acted movie, with some great scenes, but it doesn't compare to the Oscar worthy sequel IMO! :)
DDD
DDD - 7/9/2010, 6:10 AM
Yeah, alcohol abuse will do that but one of my Irish
friends told me that the difference between an
alcoholic and an Irish drunk is the drunk don't
havta go to the damm meetings! lol
