Batman 3 given release date

Batman

Rumours are circulating that the third Batman film to be directed by Christopher Nolan will be released on July 20, 2012. As yet untitled, it is widely thought that Christian Bale will reprise his role as the Dark Knight, having in the past stated that he had signed on to play Batman for three movies.

Director Nolan has breathed life back into the franchise that had almost been ruined beyond repair by Joel Schumacher’s disastrous Batman & Robin. Both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight proved to be box-office sensations, with the latter scooping more than $1 billion in ticket sales.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times in March, the British director said: “Without getting into specifics, the key thing that makes the third film a great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story. And in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story.”

Few details are known about the film’s plot, but it look set to be one of the most eagerly anticipated movies of the next two years.
