Will Christopher Nolan Actually Pass on Batman Begins 3?

Probably not, but man, it sure seems to be taking him a long time to commit to the sequel already. So long, in fact, that the fanboys on the Internet are abuzz with the non-commitment.

Breaking Down the Catwoman Contenders for Batman Begins 3

If it sucks being Aaron Eckhart and being asked constantly by oblivious reporters about your obviously dead character, it probably doesn’t suck too much to be one of the actresses rumored up for the part of Catwoman in the third Batman film. Or at least, if you’re a publicist worth his salt,...

Aaron Eckhart is Tired of Two-Face Questions, So Stop Asking him Two-Face Questions!

Aaron Eckhart is obviously tired of Two-Face questions. Is he dead? Isn’t he? What are you, retarded? He was obviously dead at the end of “The Dark Knight”, and everyone has said so, from Nolan to Goyer to Eckhart numerous times. (And yes, if that’s a spoiler, then you deserve...

British Batman Rumormonger Takes Issue with Being Called a Rumormonger

Nolan Talks More Batman, Justice League Crossover

It’s going to take a long time (probably after Marvel’s “The Avengers” finally hits the big screen in 2011 and proves to be a mammoth hit, would be my guess) until Warner Bros. finally gets their shit together and a Justice League movie is finally put into development for a major...

With all the hullabaloo surrounding who will be the featured villain (or villains) in the inevitable “Batman Begins 3″, and who will be playing them (really? Cher as Catwoman? Man, someone was on crack that day), it’s easy to forget about Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face, who joined the Joker...
