Batman 3 To Start Filming Next Year

Gary Oldman joined Denzel Washington and Mila Kunis today at Comic-Con, taking part in a panel for upcoming apocalyptic thriller The Book Of Eli. Towards the end of the panel Oldman was asked the obligatory Batman 3 question and, to eveyone’s surprise, actually answered it.

“We’re starting filming on the next Batman next year. So it won’t be out for another two years at least, I think. But you didn’t hear it from me!”

It’s too much to ask for any details on the plot at this point but the ball is rolling and that’s the important thing. Roll on 2012.

RE: Batman 3...The Killing Joke...?

L: kevmccann 'The Killing Joke' would be my choice of film, I would bring in someone like Guy Pearce to play the Joker and I imagine Christopher Nolan wanted to do another 'Joker' film. This graphic novel could be fleshed out beautifully, even by using other peoples suggestions of the Joker controlling Harley Quinn at the start. I personally don't want to see a mainstream villain like Mr Freeze, The Riddler, Bain etc, stick with the tried and tested formula. mentioned Pearce ages ag... Read More

Batman 3
I may be a little negative here but do you really think that GAry Oldman would say anything before anything has been confirmed officially? Sounds like he was just saying it to take the piss. I hope Im proved wrong but I imagine he was just saying it for a laugh ... Read More
