Easily made DC movie: Flash.
One that takes more planning: Green Lantern.
Do it!

Yes, Flash would be quick!:hehe: Honestly though, I'd like to see The Flash done with at least the same respect as Iron Man. Nothing is going to outdo TDK.

That would be a bad move. It's too soon and they need time to write a decent sequel. Three years is fine. Besides, I'm quite sure Nola doesn't want to rush things.

Maybe 2012?

December 12, 2012?

And that that's how the world ends because they'd make a movie that's better than TDK which couldn't possibly exist and therefore reality rejects such an impossible thing and rips itself apart?

I don't buy it. They're going to let Nolan do what he wants, which I highly doubt is jumping on another Bat-film right away.

Im not sure it's so much about fast tracking for the sake of fast tracking. Given the films absurd success, the wb are gonna start looking into the sequel VERY soon or probably already have, and the slate for them is lacking. Its not that much fo a leap fo faith to think Warners might try to see if Nolan could get bat 3 out for 2010. If he says I want to do something else first than thatd whatll happen, or they could offer him a boatload. Its just speculation.

I don't doubt they'd inquire; that's simple studio greed. I just don't see Nolan entertaining it.

I have no doubt that WB wants BB3 out in 2010, but its not going to happen. With a movie of this caliber, they would have to already have the early stages in motion and Nolan isn't gonna do that. I would expect a summer 2011 release

Not to mention Nolan has a deal with some new tv show tying his hands up for a while. That'll just delay BB3 even longer. I wouldn't dare be surprised to think we may be talkin 2013 or 2014.

please change your sig because it is clearly not the bartender

and it would be a shame if the movie came out that soon because then it wouldn't be worth seeing, i want a third movie in 2011 or 2012 then in 2022-2025 i want the dark knight returns

DarkKnight245

07-19-2008, 08:29 AM

let Nolan take his time with BB3. He's a one film at a time kind of director. it took 3 years to make TDK and it turned out to be really awesome. 3 years is enough to make a 3rd movie.

psylockolussus

07-19-2008, 01:30 PM

I think its too soon since Batman Begins and The Dark Knight has a 3 year gap it would be just 2year gap.

But the good thing the shorter you wait the better!

Nolan is still working on The Prisoner, so I doubt he'd go onto another film for 2010 so quickly.

Batman 3 depends on Nolan. He will not rush the project and there's no doubt in my mind that if he does he will want to dedicate time and care to have it live up to, if not exceed, TDK (although I personally think it's impossible).

I don't expect Batman 3 for at till at minimum 2011. I'm sure Nolan will want to do a different project before turning back to Batman, i.e: when he did The Prestige between BB and TDK.

Batman137

08-02-2008, 06:51 PM

Do you think it can be done? I think it would be a good idea actually. Here are my reasons why I believe a third can be done for a 2010 release.

-Keep It Fresh. A lot of people I know who saw TDK were not fans of Batman. But they came out ones. "Feed the Dogs while they are still hungry"

-With SM4 planning a 2011 Release, it might be a good idea for 2010. Get the most money you can.

-Chris Nolan for now has no projects in the future.

Thoughts?

Does that mean Nolan isn't doing The Prisoner anymore?

The Chris

08-02-2008, 07:00 PM

I think three years like BB to TDK is the best due to it still being fresh while also giving Nolan the extra time he needs.

If anything I always wanted Spidey 4 for 2010. Think three years is the best way to go for a sequel.

William_C

08-02-2008, 07:02 PM

I agree with Chris. Three years is good. Maybe even four.

I think they should do it for 2010 because:

1) Bale is beginning to look old now (hes gonna be 36 if they film it in 2010 for 2011 release)
2) Marvel has 2 big movies coming out in 2011 (Avengers and Captain America) and Iron Man 2 is already set for April 30 2010, so they can get that July spot again for 2010 and not have to compete with Marvel.
3) Batman 3 will receive more momentum from TDK being released in 2 years rather than 3 or 4.
4) There is no reason for Warner Brothers to delay or not believe in a third movie with Chris Nolan as director/writer, so development and funding should be quicker this time.
5) Nolan, his brother, and Goyer can write a great Batman movie regardless of time, and the Nolan's don't have another movie to do (yet) like The Prestige in between Batman movies
6) Bale has no filming projects, for now at least, from summer 09 onwards, so WB can ask him leave that space open for Batman 3 filming.
7) Spider-man 2 was a great sequel and great drama/action movie, and was the best superhero movie ever until TDK. It was released only 2 years after its predecessor.
Does that mean Nolan isn't doing The Prisoner anymore?

I read he just helped write that film, but that he's probably not directing it since its similar to his first films.

08-02-2008, 07:23 PM

I'll happily wait 3 years for the next Batman movie. The 3 year wait for TDK was sooooooo worth it.

Shane Diesel

08-02-2008, 07:24 PM

I think they should shoot for 2010 as well. Caine and Freeman aren't getting any younger and Ledger's death has brought this issue to the forefront. I don't think I could handle an Alfred or Lucius recast.

2 years is pushing it, especially if you're trying to top TDK, this is were I think MArvel are gonna screw up with Iron Man 2, they should have given it a three year break to ensure the best result for the film. Batman 3 in 2011, as far as I see it, regardless of what Marvel produce that year, it will all pale in comparison in the shadow of a third Nolan/Bale Batman film.

FaT_tONle

08-02-2008, 08:31 PM

I think 2011 could have worked... they could have gone (and these are rough estimates:

Captain America May 6th 2011
Batman Begins 3 June 10th 2011
Avengers July 15th 2011

But now with Sony dropping the balls with an 2011 release for SM4 WB needs to revisit their plans... because if that's the case then BB3 will suffer against 3 top notch Marvel pictures overlapping with them at somepoint. So if Sony is adamant on 2011 then WB should fast track 2010 but I don't see it happening...

dancing_on_fire

08-02-2008, 10:14 PM

You guys shouldn't push for 2010 or assume it, I'd love for it to come out that soon, but i think at this point Nolan would rather recast Lucius and Alfred rather than rush it for the fans and to have a better box office chance. With that said, the third film will have an even larger hype to the dark knight, so if anything, Marvel would reschedule the avengers movie and captain america movie since they'll be destroyed by the third film if they clash. And Nolan has other projects he wants to do. And knowing him, hes going to demand complete control over the third film like with the dark knight and i just don't think his first agenda is a 2010 release, he doesn't like being rushed.

jmc

08-02-2008, 10:22 PM

Seriously, after TDK it will be Marvel and Sony who are moving release dates. WB has nothing to fear, stay on coarse for 2011.

nickyg641

08-02-2008, 10:33 PM

I think one reason TDK turned out so well was the fact that there was that intervening three years. It was the crew's renewed sense of enthusiasm for Batman that I think really allowed them to shine.

If WB meddles and tries to rush it, I get the feeling it'll only turn out badly.

Mastodon123

Well Spider Man 3 happened 3 years after SM2, and look what happened to that film.

08-02-2008, 11:30 PM

^ Nolan and company are so much better than Raimi, and his piss-poor effort of Spiderman. I am so sick and tired of hearing SM3 this, SM3 that. Stop relating them as if, B3 will falter to the same extent that SM3 did. And honestly, SM1 and 2 are just popcorn flicks with *****y action and gringe-worthy one liners, or did you forget to go get them tiger.

It needs to be 3 years, minimum. I think its an attribute of this franchise that they dont rush their stories. It bothers me when films automatically start talking about sequels right when their first weekend numbers come in. Nolan shouldnt be concerned about the money. Like with TDK, he should be coming up with ideas for continuing the story, and if he comes up with something to his satisfaction, then he should agree to do the 3rd. But please, pleASE, PLEASE do not rush BB3...

ABongHalloween

08-02-2008, 11:45 PM

hey,hey I would love to have a new Nolan Batfilm next week!! but if Chris hasnt taken enough time away from Bats, and didn't envelop himself in some other project for a while he'd probably become alittle tired of it and wouldnt give it his all. We want Nolans 3rd Batfilm to be a labor of love like TDK not a forced,cash in sequel for WB.

that being said I think it would be awesome if they made another animated movie or a graphic novel based in the Nolanverse just to tide us over!

BatoutofHell

08-02-2008, 11:50 PM

People saying you have to release to avoid competing with marvel are the same people who said TDK would have a 70mil OW. Give them time, make a good film, the money will come.

Crook

08-02-2008, 11:51 PM

Somehow I think this thread exists because people don't want to wait three years. :p

I appreciate Nolan likes to do movies in between to keep Batman fresh for him and it gives time for Jonah Nolan to really hammer out a good screenplay so when Chris is done they can rewrite it again together. I'm fine with that process as it lets it breathe. Doing two years is rushing to beat a deadline. I'm still surprised how great SM2 was considering it was done on the two year scale.
??

Two years between the films is most definitely not rushing. Technically, BB and TDK had pretty much the same production schedule. The only reason the wait was 3 years was because Nolan worked on another film in-between.

08-02-2008, 11:53 PM

Third Movie In 2 Years?
No way. I'd expect a new Nolan's Batman movie in three years. Even four. With such an excellent —and fresh— product, there is no need to rush. Plus, it's proof that a sequel can be done 3 years after the 1st movie and still make tons of money. No need to hurry, really..

Va3H

08-03-2008, 12:48 AM

I wasn't relating them. The point of my post was to show it doesn't matter how long it takes between films. Things get ****ed up for other reasons

I am speaking generally.

That's all well and good... but from a business persepctive... overlapping with Avengers and Spidey 4 is a bad move. Plus we know how bad the third installments usually are. I am not saying BB3 can't outgross those two movies... but to say the box office won't be afftected significantly if we are talking no more than a three week gap between these pictures, your fooling yourselves.

Why rush? I'd rather see Nolan do another film inbetween.

Frontier

08-03-2008, 10:51 AM

Honestly, I expect that 3 may actually take more time. I think a 4 year gap is likely. The hype around TDK is so huge, it's almost beyond belief. And many final acts of trilogies are delayed longer than their sequels. Recent instance, Spider-Man 3 did 3 years from 2, when 2 only did 2 years from 1.

I'm sure WB would love to put out 3 tomorrow if they could. But I think Mr. Nolan and company will keep us waiting longer.

Me too. I wonder what his next project is going to be.. and how awesome the cast would be :word:

And if he'll work with Bale or Sir Michael Caine again! I know he has two old projects he abandoned; one a Howard Hughes biopic, and an Agatha Christie adaptation. There was talk of a film adaptation of The Prisoner, and I remember something about a graphic novel adaptation that might have been called The Exec. In fact, here's where I read that, but it was ages ago and the site hasn't been updated in almost two years, so take it with a pinch of salt!

http://www.christophernolan.net/upcoming.php

He might take a break. He's being producing a film almost every two years, so he might take time to recharge - but I hope he comes back with something in time for next year! :yay:

FaT_tONle

08-03-2008, 01:54 PM

No freaking four/five year wait... Morgan and Caine will retire by then... 2011 should be the latest... otherwise they should just recast everybody because even Bale would be too old... unless the story was written for an older Batman... but I don't want that personally. I think TDK left it so that we need the resolution sooner than later... not several years after the events of TDK. This trilogy is supposed to be about a young Batman... I hope they don't do something along the lines of TDKR. That would be a mistake. All I am saying is that fast tracking might be a good idea if 2011 is too crowded... either that or MAYBE 2012 but definitely no later than that. Even 2012 is too far IMO.

08-03-2008, 06:31 PM

And there's a "good" reason for 2011? If we're gonna pull the 'they should take their time' card, then one can argue that 2012 or even 2013 is a better release date.

I agree. I like "anticipating" a film. If you get it too early, your interest in it kinda goes away, as much as you love it.

Crook

08-03-2008, 06:51 PM

I don't see how your interest would fade away if the film comes sooner rather than later. Doesn't really make much sense.

08-03-2008, 06:56 PM

I don't see how your interest would fade away if the film comes sooner rather than later. Doesn't really make much sense.

I shoulda said it another way. What I'm trying to say is I rather wait three years or so because Nolan won't be rushed and they can think through how they want the third film to be about. Imagine if it was to be released in 2010, in a year production would start up (less than that) and possibly the viral marketing would be next year and they would have #3 out in 2010. It doesn't give them enough time to take in TDK. I think 3 years or even four years, they have a chance to take their time on the third project and it would be fresh to them. I would anticipate it no matter when it came out. Next year, 2010, 2011, and so on. But what I was trying to get at was that I would have BB3 to look forward to for another year and It'd keep me and other fans excited for the release. If the film was released in 2010, I would not have anything to look forward to in 2011 (in terms of the Batman franchise). Get what I mean?!

08-03-2008, 06:59 PM

I don't care how long it takes to make a third Nolan Batman film, as long as it's good. Rushing these projects doesn't serve them well.

08-03-2008, 07:35 PM

While i'd like the third film in two years i'll wait three if we get Nolan, Bale and co back.

-With SM4 planning a 2011 Release, it might be a good idea for 2010. Get the most money you can.

Yah...after what Spider-Man 3 did, I bet a lot of people wouldn't wanna be watching the fourth installment. Like me.

And besides, Batman could crush Spider-Man either by movies or television, 'nuff said.

MrSmith1114

08-04-2008, 12:11 AM

I'd be fine with waiting three years for another Batman film, but I disagree with this whole "if it comes out in two years, it'll be a disaster" opinion.

A good film is a good film. Plain and simple. Releasing the film in 2011 is no different than releasing it in 2010. It's the direction they take the film in, the script, that determines whether it will be good or not.

Spider-Man 2 was released two years after the first film, and it turned out to be the best film in the trilogy. Spider-Man 3 came out three years after the second installment, and it is widely regarded as the weakest of the trilogy.

It's not about time, it's about quality. It's about having a dedication to telling a good story.

Batman & Robin failed because the studio and filmmakers made bad decisions. That film could have been released in 1998, and it still would have been the stinker it's considered today.

imo a 4 or 5 year wait would be best.

Need another DC movie before the [possible] Batman sequel comes out. Otherwise, it's just a thought...okay, so Batman is all their doing? Pathetic. It'll even it out/the timeline a bit and make it look more thoughtful. Even if the movie itself is just okay.

FaT_tONle

09-02-2008, 07:53 PM

Warner's is pretty intent on doing four over the next three years... 2009 is already out so they will pretty much have to double up in 2010/2011 if they stick to that schedule. I think they should make one superhero film a year and a side property like Watchmen or whatever else they have as the number two film. For 2010, probably GL... 2011 could be the Bat sequel... then maybe the Supes reboot the following year. I can see why BB3 in 2010 makes sense for Warner Bros... it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to the people making the film, which is why it won't happen that soon.

A quick glance at W.B. schedule reveal that summer 2010 is EMPTY for them while summer 11 already has Harry Potter 8.

I think we may see Bat 3 fasttracked for 2010 in order to even out w.b.'s schedule.

Given TDK's success, they will push Potter out of the way until fall 2011 if Nolan wants to release BB3 in 2011.
