Gary Oldman just announced at the Warner Bros. Book of Eli panel that a third Batman film will go into production next year.

"I think the next Batman is next year," he told a fan who asked about when the long-awaited "Dark Knight" follow-up would hit, "We start shooting next year. You didn't hear that from me."

Looks like if he's right, 2011 release.

 

[WickedAngel]

You didn't hear that from me.

The fuck we didn't, Gary!

 

[Costanza]

niceeeee

 

[gdt]

Motherfucker...

 

[Scarecrow]

"long awaited follow up?" It's only been a year.

 

[ZeoVGM]

"long awaited follow up?" It's only been a year.

It's been long-awaited since the day after TDK came out.

 

[Weenerz]

"long awaited follow up?" It's only been a year.

TDK fans wanted a follow up minutes after it was first previewed with I Am Legend.

No Ledger - No sale

It didn’t appear that Oldman was joking, nor did it appear that he was speculating.

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

with as well as TDK did you know WB wants to trot out the next one asap, regardless of whether the director and/or writers are ready or even willing

 

[rnwd]

"Long-awaited." :lol

 

[JDSN]

I really hope theres some better editing this time around.

Nolan using Cameron's AVATAR tech confirmed.

 

[Veidt]

Gary Oldman. He just doesn't give a frak.

 

[MisterHero]

Brainiac takes over the Batcomputer at the end, setting up for World's Finest!

please please please

 

[Plinko]

Excellent--he's my favorite character in the series so far (other than Lucious Fox).

And I'm still pushing for William H. Macy as The Riddler.

 

[UraMallas]

Spoiler

I could really be either party in this gif.

 

[Blader]

"long awaited follow up?" It's only been a year.

That's too long!

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

Honestly, I'm happy, but I want Nolan back as much as or more than any of the principle characters. If the shoot is truly planned, it could mean either that Nolan has a plan for the script and will write it after production for Inception wraps up OR that they've found somebody to replace him and will just be moving ahead.

 

[Sanjuro]

What he didn't say was that Nolan would be ready to shoot next year. That means...

I'm ready.

 

[SephCast]

GARY WHITTA, WILL YOU BE ON SET? GRILL THIS MOTHERFUCKER FOR ANSWERS.

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

McG is replacing nolan

 

[mario ate my burger]

Oh, "Oldman" Read Coleman :lol Was like wtf does he know about Batman?

 

[Sanjuro]

McG is replacing nolan

Michael Bay or him thank god. Nolan can't shoot action scenes!

 

[ILOVEASIANS]

Cheah booooiiiii.

 

[MisterHero]

Michael Bay

I'm ready.

I bet he could depict a mean Firefly. :lol

 

[mYm|17|]

so who's going to be the villian in the new batman?

 

[snacknuts]

:lol Totally.

 

[Sanjuro]

so who's going to be the villian in the new batman?

Batzarro.

 

[TheExodu5]

TDK was a horrible let down, other than the fantastic Joker scenes. BB was better overall.

Not anticipating the next one at all.

 

[Archer]

michael bay.

[Ignis Fatuus]

FUCK YES

FUCK YES

FUCK YES

 

[Sanjuro]

michael bay.

No. He is the hero you don't deserve but Gotham needs.

 

[Tyrone Slothrop]

so who's going to be the villian in the new batman?

Schwarzenegger returns as Freeze. or at least i'm hoping...

 

[ILOVEASIANS]

so who's going to be the villian in the new batman?

Eddie Murphy as The Riddler.

 

[manofmandango]

No. He is the hero you don't deserve but Gotham needs.

:lol

 

[thekad]

I hear Kevin Smith is writing the script.

 

[Anerythristic]

I would be really surprised if the villian choice is outlandish like Clay Face or Mr Freeze even.

You have a pool of Riddler, Penguin (fat mob boss form), Ventriloquist ???big maybe, Firefly (pyromaniac, without the suit?)...I really don't know because the movies try such a real world slant.

 

[stephendedalus]

I hear Kevin Smith is writing the script.

Well, it was a good run. See you guys later.

 

[WickedAngel]

I hear Kevin Smith is writing the script.

Kevin Smith and Michael bay?! They're just trying to rush this thing out!

The character I've always hoped for is Bane. A super-intelligent guy hooked on steroids/HGH could work.

I've always loved the clayface story lines.

Bruce: Rachel gave how many blowjobs?

Batman: I'm not supposed to be here today.

 

[Solo]

Im betting this is news to the Nolans :lol

 

[Dan]

I have a hard time believing this, unless it's a late 2010 start and not meant to make the 2011 summer. Nolan's a wee bit busy with a $200 million film to be able to move into another one so quickly.

Between this comment and Cameron Diaz apparently giving away The Box's ending in explicit detail, I wonder if WB will rethink letting actors talk at panels :lol

Bane!

You have ultra-insanity drugs why not super steroids?

Honestly though it's hard to keep him Batman if all he's going after is mentally-deranged or morally-evil humans.

Batman: I'm not supposed to be here today.

:lol

I dont believe it remotely. Im sure WB and the Nolan camp have sat down and discussed it, but I doubt anything beyond that has progressed. Chris is 100% focused on Inception now, and Jonathan seems to be in high demand too.

Ive been saying it for a year now, but I dont believe a Nolan bros. BB3 hits before 2013.

 

[Anerythristic]

I've always loved the clayface story lines.

The mutant freak blob would blow my mind if they did him this series.

To be honest if they went the psychotic serial killer actor route from his first appearance Basil Karlo that would still be interesting.

The only one I don't want to see Catwoman is someone we might get now that love interest Rachel Dawes is out of the picture.

 

[Downhome]

Oh, "Oldman" Read Coleman :lol Was like wtf does he know about Batman?

I swear to God, all the way up to your post I thought the exact same thing. I was wondering why no one was mocking this news. :lol
