How about the fact that the man that wrote and directed the Dark Knight saying that there will be no Joker in the next Batman movie, which he also will be writing and directing?

ill believe it when i see it, im sure he wouldn't announce it this early on. if anything it would be a surprise. so of course right now he is denying it.

But that is the thing though: he DID announce it. Not once but twice.

Nolan | Empire magazine Interview

Empire magazine recently sat down with Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan to get an answer to this question once and for all, and in turn, Nolan made the fate of the Joker's role in future Bat-film installments crystal clear: "No," said Nolan, with Empire noting a visible discomfort to the question before the Inception director added, "I just don't feel comfortable talking about it."

Nolan: | Inception Premier

"For me, Heath was the definitive Joker. It wouldn't feel appropriate to readdress that character."

i think it's a disgrace to not even have some form of the joker in the next movie. oh well... i wasn't a big fan of the nolan batmans anyways.

there might be a mention of the Joker that could very well happen

It would be a disgrace to recast him. Not to mention not even Levett would want to follow in his foot steps. Heath set the bar dangerously high. Nolan won't recast him, and most actors probably wouldn't wanna replace him. We'll see other versions of the Joker sure, but not the same character from Nolan's world. Like Rappy said, I'm sure they will mention him, but that'll be it.

Regarding casting, Levett would be great as Riddler, hope he gets it. On the same note, I hope there are more villains. They don't have to be major, but just more characters from the Batman universe to run into. I've wanted to Nolan do Penguin since the first one. I wonder why they registered that domain too. Why would Bruce Wayne disappear? It was Batman on the run. He could have just hung his cape up, didn't have to go into hiding, kinda obvious if both of them go missing :laugh:

Speaking of following in one's foot steps. The next director to helm a Batman flick is going to have one hell of a hard time. I would be surprised if there were references to Superman in Batman 3. While Warner obviously wants to pursue a Justice League, and release everything in 3D. Nolan has incredible leverage, if he says no, they will abide. Nolan said many times he likes to think of the characters (batman and superman) as in their own world. Completely disconnected from the others. Although with his brother doing the screenplay and directing Superman he might try and slip some references in :)

I really they don't try to fill it with lots of villans, I mean 2 or more is, imo, not good. They did a well enough job of working two-face into what Joker was doing, but the key there was that it always stayed as more of a subplot and never fought with the joker side/story. I haven't been keeping up with news and i didn't go through all 16 pages of this thread so maybe this info is out there, but whoever the next badguy(s) are I just hope the story doesn't turn out like the older movies.

Both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight had 2 villains. Most likely it'll be the same for the last movie too.

at least bring back two face, he didn't have enough screen time IMO.

It's been confirmed multiple times that Two-Face is dead. He won't be back.

Personally I would like to see Bane come and hurt batman bad as he was ment to. Not in the pos one that Tim Burton tried to incorporate. But the strong intelligent one in Knightfall (where he breaks batmans back and many thought would be the last of bruce wayne as batman, that comic book soared in price after its release, then dropped when bruce wayne put on the batman suit again). Awesome story, IMO.

That was Joel Schumacher. Tim Burton only did the first two (Batman and Batman Returns)

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.

      Steam Next Fest returns with thousands of new demos to try out by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Valve has been routinely kicking off demo festivals on Steam for years now, and the second drop of 2026 has just opened its doors. It's a great opportunity for any PC gamers to find some interesting games before they release. The June edition of Steam Next Fest is a week-long digital festival including gameplay slices from a large number of indie developers, though a few major publishers are involved this time too. Interested players can use the Next Fest hub page's various sorting and filtering options to easily sort through the hordes of demos available. The top buttons offer quick access to separate and important sorting options, including "By Genre, By Theme, By Feature," with each one offering more granular settings when clicked. At the same time, the built-in Steam tags system is also available below every page to discover new games more quickly. As always, logging in will also enable Steam gamers to utilize Valve's recommendation algorithms to find game demos they might like, specifically, depending on their past play and purchase histories. This time there is even a toggle now to swap between getting a random and personalized selection as Valve collects more data on the available demos. The Charts section is where you can find the most popular demos on the platform right now, offering up the most hyped titles in a simple list. Right at the kickoff, Mistfall Hunter, Empulse, Echoes of Aincrad, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Over the Hill, Mortal Shell II, and more are trending. Expect this list to change as the week progresses. This edition of the Steam Next Fest is slated to end on June 22 at 10 AM PT. Valve's latest event is now open, and it can be accessed by going to the dedicated hub page here.
