Batman 3 to be released july 2012

Just heard it on IMDB, maybe it's old news to you guys, but no production start date was said, and the story is still being written by Nolan. I thought for awhile that they really were done with the franchise, but lately it has seemed like a forgone conclusion. 
your opinions! 

Hope David Tennant is the Riddler.

" Hope David Tennant is the Riddler. "

" @TheMasterDS: Who? "

Oh I thought by 3 you meant arkham asylum 3, either way I hope its good.

I thought the rumor was Johnny Depp was the Riddler. "

Last I checked, the Riddler even being in the movie was pure speculation.

I think that judging from the casting of the Joker, Tennant would be the more likely choice. Like Heath Ledger, his big role was well received, but then didn't quite have massive appeal for one reason or another (In the US anyway). Nolan seems to respect acting chops over big names, which I think bodes well for Tennant.

I was hoping David Hyde Pierce would be the Riddler.

Michael Keaton as the Riddler. Think about it.

I'm not sure why everyone feels they have to shoot down Johnny Depp as The Riddler. I don't know if there was ever a more custom-built role than that. As long as he puts effort into the role instead of just sleepwalking (Caribbean 2 and 3) that version of Edward Nigma would be epic.

Yeah, I support Johnny Depp to play The Riddler.  That thought came to me as well after watching The Dark Knight.  As long as there's none of that Carey Camp in the role.  I'm sure Nolan wouldn't lean that way anyways.

God I hope they don't have the Riddler, A) because he's too similar to the Joker, and B) It'd just be Die Hard With A Vengeance. I mean, there are so many different villains they could do. Personally I'm voting for Brendan Gleeson as the Penguin, but not really expecting it to happen. 

It would be such ownage if batman has to solve puzzles before the riddler blows up gotham. They better have that character in it.

cool, i ddin't know they were going to make another batman.

I have a feeling Batman 3 was supposed to involve the Joker, and then Heath Ledger died. I hope Nolan can figure out a way to make Batman 3 as bad-ass and awesome as Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were.

If Superhero sequels have taught us anything it is more then 2 super villains equals crap. Oh and don't give me crap about Scarecrow being in The Dark Knight for a couple of minutes.
Personally I think Hush and/or a non campy Edward Nigma that is obsessed with finding out Batman's secret identity would be preferable.

I might be outspoken in saying this, but I feel that the Batman movies are seriously overrated. Sure they're good action movies and whatnot. But they're not as mindblowing as people seem to make them out to be. To me, at least.

Johnny Depp would be a good Riddler also it'll probably bring in a more mainstream audience for the film. I want to see poison ivy though in the new film. Maybe... I don't know some hot chick.. find one hollywood. I command it. 

Why did anyone think this wouldn't happen with the amount of cash the last movie made. I don't really think Depp would be good but then I'm not a huge fan of his or the Riddler for that matter but since the trend so far has been to have two villains per film I imagine that the Riddler will be one of them.

Jim Carrey should be The Riddler ^ ^.

I personally hope they choose one bad guy, stick with him and not mess around with pathetic plot lines like they did in the last movie. oh and actually make Batman a detective..like he's actually supposed to be.
I know I'm pretty much alone when i say that The Dark Knight was a massively wasted opportunity and the script was horrendous.

I'm still hoping he might include Catwoman/Selina Kyle and erase the memory of that horrid Halle Berry movie forever.  The series will need a new girl now that Katie Holms/MaggieGyllenhaal's character is dead.  I say let it be someone who can take care of herself and provides a nice conflict between emotions and duty to The Batman.  Another good choice would be Talia, the daughter of Ra's al Ghul.  Depending on which DC reality is currently considered "canon", she is also the mother of Bruce Wayne's child. 
 
Keira Knightley would be my choice for Selina Kyle and Emily Blunt for Talia.

It's going to be very hard to follow The Dark Knight.  It's also going to be brutal on whoever is playing the next villain.  There are very few actors who can be able to withstand such a burden, one of whom is Johnny Depp.

who cares.

The last Doctor Who. I don't think he would be good, I can't imagine him being scary enough. I reckon Johnny Depp will end up playing him, although I would really like to see Brad Pitt play him (think of that scene in Fight Club where the bar owner comes down and tries to make them leave his basement, and Tyler loses his shit).

Saying The Riddler wouldn't work because we've already had Joker is like saying Iron Man wouldn't work because Batman Begins has already been out. "

I definitely got the feeling there was more in store for the Joker after TDK. Would not envy the actor that has to step foot in those shoes though. Depp would be a solid replacement. He has a similar look, and has a great range. He even did a similar thing for Parnassus.
