Third Batman to be Titled The Dark Knight Rises
Source: Hero Complex October 27, 2010
In an interview with Hero Complex, Christopher Nolan revealed that the title for his third Batman movie will be The Dark Knight Rises. He added that the villain "won't be the Riddler."
"We'll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we'll be introducing some new ones," Nolan said cryptically. He also said that the studio has agreed with him not to shoot the film in 3D.
The Dark Knight Rises is scheduled for a July 20, 2012 release.

Hmm...not sure how I feel about this. I was hoping for something a little more original, for lack of better words.
Pretty interesting that The Riddler won't be the villain, though! Makes me wonder what Nolan's got up his sleeve...
A NEW GAME BEGINS
well, i'm excited
don't mind who the villian is as long as they stay true to the darkness of it all.
Sounds dumb.
lol, here we go again; that's what I was saying about everything I heard about the last two prior to seeing them.I read "repeatedly"... Sorry, tired after work...
Not sure how I feel about the name yet, but I'm sorely disappointed that The Riddler won't be making an appearance in TDKR ... still, I have faith in Nolan and I'm fairly positive whichever villain he chooses to utilize will both be a worthy adversary, and will also tie in to the previous two films. Can't wait for more details ...
I think what it is about the name to me is that it sounds too cliche, kind of like The Dark Knight Returns or something like that.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
That, and it sounds more upbeat than The Dark Knight. Let's face it: TDK was an all-time classic in comic book movies, and you know the secret to its success? Because it was absolutely fucking miserable (you can definitely tell that Nolan has some British blood, in this case). Our hero gets emotionally fucked over by the villain in this one, and by the end he's not even much of a hero, at least as far as the citizens of Gotham are concerned. It's the story of how a hero falls in everyone else's eyes, and yet ironically seems even more heroic to the audience as a result.
And now you want him to rise? You should torture him even more! (I'm sure Nolan will, though. Because a lot of his titles do refer to the endings more than the overall story, after all.)

The Dark Knight Returns was great. What upsets me is The Dark Knight Strikes Again.
DD, I totally agree with your statement there. TDK Rises does sound a little more upbeat, a kind of "rejuvenized" Batman. In Nolan's Gotham, Batman needs to be miserable, like you said, and his world needs to remain dark. Though, I'm just going off the title here and I'm sure Nolan will deliver.
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Here's another theory, though. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong and "Rises" isn't so upbeat after all - perhaps it's meant to give more of a "bad moon rising" feel to it.
Maybe in this film Batman is the villain by the end! Sounds ridiculous, but...this is Nolan we're talking about. Ever since Inception, there's nothing he could do that would surprise me. Not unless he took a bad idea and actually made it bad, at least. Nolan's just the kind of director who can take a crap idea, including make a film about dreaming in an age where you would've thought everything had been done concerning dreams in film and therefore should've been completely unoriginal, and instead he made it great - he's of a rare breed of writer/director that can do that, really!

Rises? When did The Dark Knight fall?
I don't like it.

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
No, not ridiculous, just pointless.
I know a lot of people feel like The Dark Knight showed an interpretation of Batman that's, like, also good, alongside the normal Batman-and-Robin hero that they've always known, but to me it was more like showing what the real point of the character has always been beneath that useless, melodramatic popular projection.
Exactly.
You guys are taking the title at face value. Perhaps the 'rise' part means that he's going to rise - symbolically- above and beyond what he originally had planned, harking back to the ending of The Dark Knight Returns.
That's going to be one hell of a subtitle, then!
The Dark Knight Rises : above and beyond what he originally had planned.
Just sassing you, Feev.

Haha ! You dork
Well, last time, the whole movie built to a justification of the title, (and an excellent one, at that) so... maybe, we'll see.
I just like to gripe because I worry.
Path - you shouldn't worry, after all ...
In Nolan We Trust.
Confession - I haven't seen Inception yet.
I am Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
Maybe the title is indicative of things getting really bad in Gothan, with some real glimmers of hope at the end. I hope Catwoman isn't our female lead.
Maybe the title simply refers to his reaction to meeting whoever she is.
BLASPHEMY !Confession - I haven't seen Inception yet.
Luckily, you'll soon be able to remedy this wrong doing. Inception is being released on blu-ray and DVD on December 7th IIRC, just in time for the holiday season !
Feev, speaking of the Inception DVD, have you heard any news about a US special edition? The only bits I'm able to find are that of the UK S.E.

Oh, now that I like ...
The Dark Knight : Gotham Rises
Okay, that's the winner ... who's got Nolan's phone number?!??

I haven't heard any news of a US special edition myself Jigsaw, but all I can say is...it's times like this that make me glad to be a Brit!
(Not that I'll be getting the special edition, most likely, but it's nice to have the option, at least! I'm more concerned with a special edition of a certain show that's released in just over a week...and is also exclusive to the UK. I know you and feev won't care, but I suspect Pond's going to be pissed!)
