After becoming the second-highest grossing film of all time (with hopes of possibly taking the record) it seemed likely that there would be another Batman movie to follow The Dark Knight — whether announced or not. Well, if you’re to believe the word coming out of Chicago these days, they’re already hiring crew and preparing for pre-production on the film, again — announced or not!
Batman On Film has multiple sources — some who worked on both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight — saying that things are shaping up for pre-production to start in February 2009 in order to shoot the actual movie in the summer of 2009.
Whether all of this is true or not, who really knows. But you can’t ignore multiple people saying the same thing, especially when those people have worked on previous films.
If this plays out exactly as stated (unlikely, even if they’re 100% making it), would that set us up for Batman 3 in the summer of 2010?
Let’s hope so!
