Batman 3 to begin filming in March

batman 31 With a release date set for July 20th 2012 it was only a matter of time before we started hearing news on when Batman 3 would begin filming.

Well today Hero Complex reports that the third outing for Mr. Wayne will begin shooting in March 2011, which of course means Batman 3 news will begin to gear up over the course of the next few months.

There has been speculation over the past day or two that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who will be seen in Christopher Nolan’s Inception in July, is on the short list to play The Riddler in the film. I’ll try to avoid posting potentially untrue casting news such as this as making up Batman 3 villain stories is becoming a bit of a ritual for the gossipsphere. Although, I suppose Joseph Gordon-Levitt could be a cool choice for The Riddler.

Chris Nolan said earlier this year that:

“The key thing that makes the third film a great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story, and in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story.”

…which suggests Nolan is intending to complete his trilogy with Batman 3. Hopefully it won’t experience the same threequel curse suffered by Spider-Man 3 and X-Men 3, although if Inception blows everyones faces off we should have no reason to worry.

    I have problems with the dark knight and begins, and no not just Batman's Nathan Explosion voice. BatMan 3 does not need the riddler. it needs a villan that was not used. Or just make bane a real part of this movie and not just and ape with a cool mask and have him kill of Christian Bale (cause he is not batman or bruce wayne). Now every one will say no one can top Heath Ledger as the joker. WRONG!!! IF they would have cast Willem Dafoe or Mark Hamil i am sure they could have. I am not saaying Ledger was bad, Im just saying that people are still coming off the hype and once they realize it is not his best performance and realize that he did not channel the joker the world of comic movies will be a better place. Correction if they get some one else to play wolverine then the world of comic movies will be a better place.

    only an idot would had a doubt about Nolan……

    BATMAN 3 will surely become another great work by Nolan!! I can see how people will rate it down simply becoz of no Joker, without actually look into the film itself….just like hw they say the film's goin to fail rite now, while it's not even being made yet

    I believe the man's going make more and more great work, the day to the best picture/best director is not so far
