In a recent interview with Christopher Nolan, a lot was said about the upcoming third Batman film.  Now I know we have heard tons of rumors as to who will be cast and which villains will be showing their faces.  Nolan gives us a pretty good clue as what to expect so far.

Nolan revealed that the 3rd Batman film will be called “The Dark Knight Rises” and will not feature The Riddler as the villain.

It is known that casting notices have been going out for the movie that they want a strong female lead which implies a new “Rachel” type character that Bruce Wayne will fall in love with since Rachel died in the last one, or that Catwoman will be in this third film.  They do make mention of Catwoman or a cat attack in the last film.

Also, Warner Bros. has agreed to let Nolan NOT shoot in 3D ,but to shoot it with the IMAX cameras like he did with the last film.  Thank god for that.

Plus I wonder if Harvey Dent did not die in the 2nd film and if he will be returning for the third one.

Only time will tell.
