We’ve already heard rumblings that Christopher Nolan’s “Batman 3” is shooting March 2011 and in a red-carpet “Inception” interview Michael Caine who plays Bruce Wayne’s butler Alfred says “I think they’re gonna do it in April.”
Clearly the filmmakers have a time frame in mind and while writing the script (which Jonah Nolan is doing now, potentially with some help by David S. Goyer, surely he’ll have some kind of credit either way), they’re telling actors to tell their agents to keep the Spring of 2011 open. We hear this all the time and then as finetuning needs to be done, dates slide back a month or two (“X-Men: First Class” is shooting in August, but was scheduled for July a month or two ago, same with “Captain America”). So don’t be entirely surprised when a May start date is announced or a June one. It won’t be much of a delay and it won’t be worth reporting every little bump, fyi. The Untitled third Batman film, placeholder titled “Batman 3,” is scheduled to hit theaters July 20, 2012. Some may presume we’ll hear more details about it at this year’s ComicCon, but we wouldn’t bet on it. [SuperheroHype]
