Director Christopher Nolan is saying he will not bring back the Joker for Batman 3 or any other Batman movie he's associated with. He tell's Empire magazine this;

?No?, says Nolan emphatically and unhesitatingly. He resists elaborating simply because, quite understandably, he says, ?I just don?t feel comfortable talking about it?.

My girlfriend has just rang me from work to give me this awesome bit of news regarding Batman 3. If you know, recently Warner Bros acquired the rights to a host of domain names. One of those names is for a piece of promotional marketing in the lead up to Batman 3, much like the I Believe in Harvey Dent in the run up to The Dark Knight.

Well in the lead up to Batman 3, the domain name wheresbrucewayne.com will be used as a piece of promotional marketing allowing fans to visit the fictional site that will be used in a Batman 3 scene.

Reliable news regarding Christopher Nolan's followup to The Dark Knight has come short lately. And finishing up with Inception, Nolan can now get things started with the Dark Knight's return. Involving the villain, there have been repeated rumors of Inception actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt portraying the prince of puzzles, Riddler. And today according to FirstShowing...

" We've gotten word from a reliable inside source with a studio casting grid that The Riddler is listed as a character for Chris Nolan's highly anticipated to the sequel to The Dark Knight, which is still called Batman 3 at Warner Bros. Even more interesting, the actor currently listed in the same grid to play the assumed villain is none other than Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

And by the way, a casting grid is used in the industry to keep production companies, agencies, etc. in the loop on a project's progress and the roles available for actors to potentially take. These documents are used for business planning in the industry and by no means would use internet speculation to list a character that may not even appear in the film. But when it comes to listing actors, this is info that can change at anytime, and just because an actor or studio is interested in one or the other, does not mean it will actually happen.

FirstShowing continues...We'd like to point out that this news should be considered confirmation that The Riddler is the villain in Batman 3 and less confirmation of the recent suggestions/rumors regarding Gordon-Levitt's casting as the enigmatic villain.

With Levitt laughing off The Riddler rumors in recent Inception interview, you can take this with a grain of salt..for now. But whether it's true or not, the Dark Knight returns in theaters July 20, 2012, with a rumored April start-date.

you mean the riddler right?, if he is the Joker expect no one to go see it...there is only one Joker in Nolan's Universe

Quite an extreme exaggeration. I'd love for him to play the Joker. Levitt has the acting ability to pull it off, and it also helps that he doesn't look that much different than Ledger, but Nolan has ruled it out.

Well in the lead up to Batman 3, the domain name wheresbrucewayne.com will be used as a piece of promotional marketing allowing fans to visit the fictional site that will be used in a Batman 3 scene.

hmm... Now I'm wondering if some of the plot will deal with the return of Bruce/Batman to Gotham after the events of TDK. Something like Dark Knight Returns?

I smell another animated movie to fill the gap.

you mean the riddler right?, if he is the Joker expect no one to go see it...there is only one Joker in Nolan's Universe

Haha I meant the Riddler. I'm so used to thinking of the Joker.

...And people say the two actors look very similar. My brain goes on autopilot sometimes.

Eckhart was on hand for a press conference earlier this afternoon at Comic Con for Battle: Los Angeles and when the inevitable question was raised, Eckhart confirmed he is in the same boat as the rest of us.

First of all, you guys know as much as I do about the next Batman...Obviously Heath was supposed to reprise the role [of The Joker], Two Face obviously died in the last one, so I don't know. I'm in the dark as much as everybody else about that. I suspect that they're not going to have The Joker in the next one.

I believe Nolan has already stated the Joker WONT be around at all.

I have to disagree, Freeman and Michael Caine also pulled through.

On the third installment, Nolan Could seriously screw up and then send all the reboot to hell. The way I think it is going down is:

Nolan's Superman ( With many batman links)

Nolans 3rd Batman ( tied in with the links in superman)

Nolan's 4th Batman movie will be "Superman and Batman" or " Superman Vs batman", followed by the justice league.

Christopher Nolan made it clear that his Batman series would be a trilogy. The new one will be the last installment in his Batman series, so there goes your theory.

Three stars of Christopher Nolan's Inception are reportedly competing for a role in his third Batman outing.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon Levitt and Tom Hardy are being considered for the part of the Riddler in Batman 3, a source at Warner Bros told ComicBookMovie.com.

It is thought that the success of Inception and the insistence of Nolan means that one of the actors will fill the role.

Last month, Inception and Batman star Michael Caine revealed that filming on the latest film in the franchise is to begin in April 2011.

More sensational rumours... I'd bet none of these actors will be in batman3, and I wouldn't be surprised if Riddler wasn't in it at all.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
