The Dark Knight Renamed

Well, if we weren't well and truly hornswoggled. There we were, along with everyone else on the Internet, fervently discussing the latest developments on Christopher Nolan's Batman: Intimidation, while the folks at Warner Bros were chuckling mirthfully behind their hands. An official release now reveals that Intimidation was never the true moniker for Batman's fifth outing and was simply a ruse to throw fans off the trail. Batman: Intimidation and Batman: The Intimidation Game have both been used to describe the film but these were apparently just code words used to describe the project. Staying true to its subject matter as a story behind the origins of the caped crusader, the film will in fact be known as Batman Begins, keeping it very much in the same vein as the franchise's previous film titles. So there you have it and, frankly, it's rather a relief.
