Christopher Nolan's Big Reveal, No Riddler for Third Batman Film

After months of speculation on the various online forums dedicated to the subject, director Christopher Nolan has eliminated another Gotham villain from the list of potential antagonists.

"It won't be the Riddler," Nolan revealed exclusively to the online site the Hero Complex.

On a high note though, along with Nolan's disappointing big reveal, fans now know the title for the third film in the Batman series. According to Hero Complex, the third film will be called "The Dark Knight Rises."

So far, fans of Nolan and his vision of the iconic Batman character have responded with mix reviews in regards to the news.

"The third film in this new series should be called 'The Caped Crusader'...'The Dark Knight Rises' is too close to the last film 'The Dark Knight,'" said Batman fan Tim Hollems on an online forum.

Despite the comments, fans also now know another crucial fact pertaining to the production of the film. Rather than following the recent trend in movie making made popular by James Cameron's "Avatar," Nolan has also opted out of using 3-D for the next installment.

"We want the look and feel of the film to be faithful to what has come before in the first two films,” said Nolan during his interview with Hero Complex. “There was a large canvas and operatic sweep to ‘The Dark Knight’ and we want to make a film that will carry on with that look and feel.”


What ever your opinion on the subject may be, one thing is defiantly clear. Come 2012, rain or shine, you can bet fans of the first two films will be there for the third film's premiere.


Yours truly included.
