'Batman 3' Will Be Titled 'The Dark Knight Rises' and Won't Feature The Riddler



Director Christopher Nolan has announced the title for his third Batman film: The Dark Knight Rises. We personally like the title, particularly that it hints at a glimmer of hope.

Also offering hope is the fact that Nolan says he convinced Warner Bros. to resist the popular 3-D craze for this film, and they are instead going to use IMAX cameras.

Nolan squashed earlier rumors that the Riddler would be the latest villain terrorizing Gotham City. Also off the villain list is Harvey Dent (no supernatural comebacks here) and Mr. Freeze.

Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman are all expected to reprise their roles in the third Batman installment, and Inception star Tom Hardy will be joining the cast. The DarkKnight Rises is set to begin filming next April in New Orleans, and Nolan hopes for a July 2012 release date.
