The Dark Knight 2 | featured news

IGN Movies has learned that, as of right now, Christopher Nolan is the only screenwriter attached to Batman 3.

While the sequel to The Dark Knight is just in the beginning stages of development, Warner Bros is already looking much further down the line. During today’s Time Warner earnings call, CEO Jeff Bewkes compared the Batman series to the Harry Potter film franchise, saying that they hope to release a long line of sequels.

New Jersey's Courier-Post talked to Batman Begins and The Dark Knight executive producer Michael Uslan, who expects the third installment of the Christopher Nolan-directed films, starring Christian Bale, to hit theaters in 2011.

While there’s been no shortage of attention given to Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker in “The Dark Knight,” the record-breaking sequel to “Batman Begins” might’ve never come to be if it wasn’t for the success of director Christopher Nolan’s first cape-and-cowl tale — and the portrayal of its villain, Ra’s Al Ghul, by Liam Neeson.
