Somewhere in all these crazy rumors like Cher as Catwoman and Johnny Depp as the Riddler, joblo.com took the time to point out that Chris Nolan hasn’t even committed to making the next Batman film. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the cast and crew are still waiting to see if Nolan will sign a deal for the next picture. Keep in mind Nolan took the time between “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight” to make “The Prestige.”
It’s hard to imagine a sequel to “The Dark Knight” without Nolan at the helm, but I could understand his trepidation. Look at the criticism the internet rumor mill has already generated over rumors about the next installment. For my money, though, I’ll see the next Batman flick four times in the theater (one more than “Dark Knight”) so long as Nolan directs it.
