^ This film had more hype because Batman Begins was so good. Heath's death helped, but there was far more hype before that had happened. The 3rd movie will have even more hype. He will be able to top it, lets just hope Warner doesn't try and fast-track it and lets him take a few years to make sure its perfect. Considering its success compared to other movies, I have a feeling they will let him do whatever he wants.

I have a different feeling. I hope you're right, but studios do tend to be greedy and it wouldn't surprise me to see them say if he isn't ready in a year to start production they had it off to someone else. I hope not, but I wouldn't be shocked.

Of course it could be in his previous contracts with Begins and Knight that he gets to decide what happens. He may have forced that after Begins was so successful and now he gets to decide when/what/where, etc.

^ He was trying to breath, not lick it lol

Also Hurmoth, considering how Warner is now letting comic movies (encouraging even) to take a more real, darker route than before solely because of TDK, I think its safe to say they will listen to his ideas next time around. If more movies take the TDK approach then not only will Warner have a nice pile of cash, but we will have some badass movies. Superman in Nolanverse? Count me in.

Also Rappy, I loved the viral marketing they did. I'm sure they will keep it up again. Little depressing talking about it considering we won't even hear anything official for another year or 2.

On the same note though, making movies like this raises the bar. Hopefully we will have less "disaster movies" but who am I kidding?

Less movies like Scary Movie would be nice :p

On a side note just got this poster in nice hi-res! (Warning 4mb)

Man I love the posters they have. Whoever does their marketing and advertising is damn good.

Very true.

I watched this film AGAIN in the cinema last night and I still enjoyed it, the ending speech was still incredible and I still jumped when the fake batman swings againsts the mayors office window :p

I get 2 free cinema tickets a week so I've finally convinced my mum and sister to go see it, I guess that'll be the real test of it's greatness, my mum usually falls asleep at the cinema!!!

Will Christopher Nolan Do a Third Batman?

While the internet is going crazy with casting rumors that aren't true for Christopher Nolan's possible third Batman movie, the director himself is on vacation as The Dark Knight approaches $500 million domestically.

The Hollywood Reporter has published an interesting article about the film's marketing and the deaths of both Heath Ledger and Conway Wickliffe before the film's release. The piece ends with a bit on the third installment.

And Warners and Legendary are both interested in doing a third in the series, but all involved say it will be up to Nolan to come to them with a story and a plan.

"There are a lot of us who emotionally would love to do it," Roven says. "But it's really Chris' call. Chris is the kind of filmmaker who just doesn't think about the next movie before he has completely finished the movie he is working on."

For now, Nolan is taking a well-earned vacation.

Says Roven, "When he comes back, we will see how he feels."

We will be waiting patiently...

Actually, I think Cher may be a great choice. It isn't conventional and that's what Nolan seems to be going for. Meaning, it isn't like the previous Batman films. I'm excited to see what she brings to the table. Like her crazy hair
Isn't she like 60? Then again, look at the new Indiana Jones.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
