Jumping the gun: Batman in 2012

[Seil]

since there's nothing to actually say other than there is a release date,

Pretty much this, and the fact that I get easily excited. Also:

Why are the writing credits getting shorter? And which Nolan are we praising here?

David S. Goyer? He looks to be the real brains of the organization.

Keep in mind that Goyer also wrote and directed Blade Trinity. (The other two as well, but still...)

Seriously though--and I feel like I've said this before recently--you can't trust IMDb on movies that haven't even entered pre-production.

Another thing I noted was the "trailer" said 2011 and the IMDB and all other articles say 2012.

Since it is up, I wanted to bring something up regarding Joker, because I think this guy would be a pretty good replacement.

17 official episodes that just keep getting better and better.

But yeah, pretty much not liking Riddler unless he had a lot more electronics and puzzles rather than just riddles to differentiate him from Joker.

Apparently Jonathan Nolan is adding in some good stuff:

On March 10, 2010, Nolan confirmed his involvement in the project and gave some information regarding the story. The next Batman film will be Nolan's last and a conclusion to the story. Nolan says, "Without getting into specifics, 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 . . . I’m very excited about the end of the film, the conclusion, and what we’ve done with the characters. My brother has come up with some pretty exciting stuff. Unlike the comics, these things don’t go on forever in film and viewing it as a story with an end is useful. Viewing it as an ending, that sets you very much on the right track about the appropriate conclusion and the essence of what tale we’re telling. And it hearkens back to that priority of trying to find the reality in these fantastic stories. That’s what we do.” Nolan has also confirmed that Jonathan Nolan is writing the script and that the villain of the film “won't be Mr. Freeze.”[103]

At least it sounds really good and they're looking at it the right way, as an actual thematic ending to the trilogy. Obviously they might try a 4th but if it sucks we can pretend it never happened (like Alien Resurrection).

Also it won't be Mr. Freeze! This means there are only a hundred other possibilities for the villain!
