Christopher Nolan and director of photography Wally Pfister had to make a big decision before starting filming on Inception. ANd that was whether they would be able to shoot the thriller in IMAX as they did with parts of The Dark Knight.

"Finally I had to tell Chris that the way he was describing the film, so much of it wanted to be with a handheld camera and kind of running around," Pfister told MTV News in a recent interview. "That's just not physically possible with the IMAX camera. We ruled out shooting in IMAX."

What has any of that got to do with Batman 3 you ask? Well, it seems like the director of photography definitely wouldnt rule out shooting the upcoming movie in the format entirely, "I can't say until I read the script, but it would certainly be my preferred, amazing goal to shoot the whole movie in IMAX."
