It's called SuperDimension 70. It's a 70mm film format that has a camera built like a 35mm and a projector which sounds awesome when you read what they have done to it. Both camera and projection system can record/project at 48 and 24 frames per second. They even have a mod for a digital projector to produce the best digital images yet. I think considering the response to the quality of this new film format that it would be great to see Batman made on it. Binaural sound would also be interesting but would require alot of work. www.superdimension70.com I think Chris Nolan should try a new film format which is said to be better than imax.

Give Baill as much money as he wants. Yes he shoudl come back with/without Nolan. While Nolan is a fantastic director he is certainly NOT the ONLY one that can make a successful Batman movie. We now knwo what the audience enjoys from the movies and we can incorporate that in the next one. I think taht if Nolan doesnt come back the studio should reach out to J.J. Abrams or several other directors out there. Abrams for sure will not let us down and tehre are many other directors out that that can direct just as good, if not better. I am not trying to take anything away from Nolan, he did a wonderful job on the first two movies, but lets be honest he is notthe only good director out there. If they can come up with a great script, keep the actors, keep the same dark element of the movies, and throw in another solid director to direct the movie I think we will be in store for another masterpiece. I believe Nolan IS already on board and that they are just keeping it under wraps to keep the buzz of the franchise going. I mean honestly, Nolan was a chopshop director before this and you he is going to get a ton of money for this movie (def more than any other movie he would choose to direct) so why not come back? Because there is a chance he might ruin his credibility? RIght....He is either on board or trying to get more money. Its all about the benjamins... They will all be back for the 3rd... Bring in the penguin or teh riddler and give the movie a great trilogy ending Bale is Batman, getting someone else ruins the illusion of the movie. Give Baill as much money as he wants.

I REALLY hope Nolan comes back for the third film especially after the success of BB and TDK. Personally, I'm more than willing to wait a couple o' years for the third film only under the condition that it's directed by Nolan. The thought of someone else doing Batman 3 is bugs me a LOT.

I've known better to assume anything though. WB has a ontract in place with Bale, so if Nolan decides not to do it, WB has the "upper hand" in weather or not forcing Bale to do the movie without Nolan. While relationships are good, they wouldn't let Bale walk away and get some new actor to play Batman, it won't work. Bale is now Batman, and like it or not box office receipts speak extremely high, so I'm sure Bale will be Batman and would have to give a lot of change to WB for them to let him out of his contract. If you've known anything from the previous two movie hypes, then you know that what is is said isn't always what is happening. the fact that IMDB has placed even a rumored speculation of Nolan directing the third Batman film strengthens the bond and lowers the curiosity a bit. In fact the creditability of IMDB is so high, that they may have placed the "rumor" tag per studio or Nolan's wishes. Warner Brothers, I guarantee you is doing EVERYTHING in their power to keep Christopher Nolan behind the camera. However, should Nolan decide not to do it, what about his brother? Sometimes screenwriters make the best directors because they know the story, and in this case I think that would serve them well. Jonathan already knows the story. I think if Nolan decides not to do a third film, then WB's next choice should be Jonathan Nolan. Yes, its a possible risk, but wouldn't you rather have a "piece of the puzzle" move up the ladder so to speak than bring a brand new person? I can tell you that since they are making a third one, the script more than likely has already been written and its now just tweaks, and stuff, and Principal Photography should start soon. I just looked down to think what I wanted to say for a second and noticed I'm wearing my "The Dark Knight" T-Shirt! I hadn't noticed until now!! I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. Nolan should come back. I’ve known better to assume anything though.

There will be a third movie regardless if story is right or not.

To me, that's the best way to use Catwoman in the third film, and it seems a logical step given the way "The Dark Knight" ended. I just hope they don't take the "Batman Returns" route and have Bruce Wayne fall for Selina Kyle all ignorant of her being Catwoman and vice versa. I liked it for that version of Batman, but I'd hate it for the Bale/Nolan one.

I don't think Nolan is the only one who can make a great Batman film, but in my opinion he is the only one who can make a great 3rd Batman film in this current franchise that he established.

I say that, because it was a part he actively sought. Ironically, I think the story is that he discovered his interest in the character from reading a novelization of a storyline from the comics, not from reading the comics themselves. If he has any reluctance, then it probably has more to do with him acknowledging Nolan's part in making these films successful. Directors make a huge difference in the quality of a film. I don't believe Nolan is the only one who could deliver a fantastic third Batman film, but I would also acknowledge that the film itself would probably not seem to fit as well with the previous two films with a different director calling the shots.

Either way I'm still worried to a certain extent. I mean Nolan hasn't officially signed on and he gave a few interviews where he said that he doesn't know if he will come back. Still I always thought for sure he would come back despite those thing, but I think this shows that even Bale is worried Nolan might not come back and if he is worried that worries me a bit. I honestly don't blame Bale for being reluctant. I think we can look at his body of work and see Bale usually does great movies he seems to be kind of picky about his films and he doesn't want to get stuck with some new director that makes him be in the new batman and robin.

I know a lot of fanboys don't have the patience but there are a lot of comicbook movies coming out to tide us over till the sequel. "Patience, grasshopper, patience".
