The word on Nolan for a third Batman film is…
…nothing. Batman-on-Film has this story that a “source” confirms a few things about the future of the Nolan Batman franchise, but nothing on his status on a third film. Not that it means much as of now, since Nolan is hard at work on Inception, but an apparent rumor was if Warners signed on to have Nolan work on Inception, the other side of the agreement was he would official do a third Batman film.
It doesn’t appear so. His brother and David Goyer had a tough time getting him to do a The Dark Knight, so selling him on a third film might be even tougher. Some reasons are that the Joker was to be in the third film and Heath Ledger‘s death shook Nolan pretty hard. But they are working on ideas for a third film with Nolan.
I say let the man do his thing for Inception, which sounds amazing. Let some time pass, because I want a fresh, recharged Nolan tackling a third outing for the Cape Crusader, instead of him rushing to do it, much like Sam Raimi on Spider-Man 3. Don’t expect much on Batman, regardless on what sites are saying until two things: 1) Nolan or WB confirms the news and 2) you see a trailer.
2013 is looking more like it for a third Bat film, but either way, we should allow him to do Inception, and be purely focused on that film.But on a side note, I won’t be mad if you Batman fans are quietly holding your breath!

I really hope Nolan returns, but if he doesn’t I hope that they find a director that stays true to what Nolan had done and also hope they don’t bring in Robin.
Apparently WB has a shortlist of directors. One was Zack Synder. Um, no thanks. I still feel Nolan will do a third film, let’s give him time. I would trust Nolan to go 3-for-3 than a great script with a so-so director for it.
I’m hoping for Burton to return as at least the art director. That’s all.
No, Burton’s vision was fine for his series, placing him into Nolan’s universe would disrupt the look of the two films.
Both you and I know that it’s not going to happen, but Burton’s macabre style fit the Batman universe to a T, regardless of direction.
It’d just be more black with white pinstripes and crooked angles anyway.
Yes, but I like the sleek, Chicago look of these films now. Brings it to our times, makes it feel like he can exist in our world, a key distinction in these films compared to the other superhero films.
