I THINK THEY SHOULD CALL THE THIRD FILM OF BATMAN “THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS”. BECAUSE HE IS NOW ON THE RUN FROM THE POLICE AND EVERYONE. AND ON THE THIRD WHEN THE RIDDLER OR JOKER ARE BACK RAISING HELL, THE DARK KNIGHT WILL RETURN TO SAVE GOTHAM ONCE AGAIN.
i like “the dark knight returns” alot, actually– better than what ive heard so far. so, heres what ive heard– “shadow of the bat” wasnt too bad, and maybe “the batman” but perhaps thats too plain or obvious. dammit. i cant see past “the dark knight returns” or– “rorys second kiss” –THATS THE ONE!!!
The Long Halloween
…watchman…
Shadow of the Bat
is the best name
I actually think that ‘THE BATMAN’ could actually pretty good. But I did hope that that would have been the title for ‘BATMAN BEGINS’. ‘THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS’ would work, but do you think Christopher Nolan would in fact go with that title, people might expect an adaption of the graphic novel.
Personally, I think that ‘SHADOW OF THE BAT’ was and still is the best title that I have heard, and I think that is what they should go with when they start production.
The Cape Crusader.
How about, Batman Forever *smirk*
Chris Nolan’s 3rd Batman Film
I know that u want suggestions, not about the title itself but about a way to call it these days until we know what name will it have.
Chris Nolan’s 3rd Batman Film
Because The Dark Knight has no comparission. Is just far away form everything we’ve seen before. The only thing you can say about the third one, is that Cris Nolan will be it’s director.
I LIKE “SHADOW OF THE BAT” OR “BATMAN: GOTHAM NIGHTS”
i think its pretty Silly to think we will have
a hand in naming any film at all. They have done fine
with the titles so far,and i think that should be
left well alone.
Aside from batman begins,i think he/they are
trying to get away from the “batman– subtitle” cliché
and deal with the movies standing on their own.
Yes,they are Batman movies,but keying around the same
situation over and over again,is what brings most comic
based films to a lower level. it could very well have
to deal with Two face,and therefore have some double
meaning.
if its not broke dont fix it.
The Caped Crusader because the sequel will have Batman rising from the dark and becoming the caped crusader.
world’s greatest detective
I agree… “The Dark Knight Returns” is the best pick for us to call it UNTIL they give us a working title or something mildly official to call it.
Shadows of the Bat is pretty good but I’d have to go with…
“DEMONS OF THE KNIGHT”
The perfect title. Simply unbeatable. Has a double meaning just like The Dark Knight and uses the same word as to ensure uniformity. Brilliant.
Batman Ends.
The worlds greatest detective
thats my guess, weve seen his begginning, seen him become a dark knight, all that is left is the detective aspect of things.
batman: redemption
I officially saw it at 715pm in imax form and left at 11ish, in awe of what a suberb movie it is (my entire being was numb)- well worth the wait, i am going to be outraged if heath does not recieve an oscar for his performance. I think the next movie should be of course be directed by chris nolan, BUT, i have heard, he might not/wont direct the third movie. That scares the CRAP out of me, forcing me to relive my 3rd movie curse which hast been deemed upon such flicks spiderman 3, xmen 3, and blade trininty (okay, decent movie, crappy villian, but c’mon, ‘drake’ ?? thats a goddamn coffee cake and you know it) but i think at this point, im more worried about who would direct, than title. If the shit hit the fan, they should grab Jonathan Nolan or David S Goyer to direct. Bring back Shumacher, and Warner Bros. gets firebombed. End of discussion.
[…] […]
i like that, BATMAN: REDEMPTION or maybe
THE DARK KNIGHT: REDEMPTION, either way, it think it’s cool
Seeing the movie’s end, I think “Shadow Of Bat” would be great. I’m agree with destruct26, first keep Cris Nolan, Jon Nolan y David Goyer, later we think a title.
Dear Lord, what a great movie The Dark Knight, I’m gonna see it por third time.
PD: is it true the riddler will be in the third movie? gary oldman said it…
Yes it is true that the Riddler will be in the third. But I think the Penguin should be in it, and Bob Hoskins should play him.
Dammit. Now we have to wait 700 someodd days to even hear about the third movie and who is confirmed to direct. Based on what Goyer just said, confirming they have a theme and a villian in mind, it sounds like he is also sure that Nolan will return to direct. F@*ing AWESOME. In all, that means we gott a wait 1100 some-odd days before the third movie. I WANT CLOSURE NOW!!! … … sorry. i guess i will just wait for Man of Steel for now, whooptie-doo. P.S. Christian Bale IS the goddamned Batman, which means he can verbally assault anyone he goddamn pleases. even his mum and sis.
P.S.S. Thats it, thats the 3rd title– BATMAN: VERBAL ASSULT. he just runs around cussing at people, while london officials try to catch ‘em.

I like Shadow of the Bat and the caped crusader. I read that johnny depp is going to play the riddler, angelina jolie catwoman, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as penguin. These are actors being considered.
p.s.: can you believe that people actually think that the nolan batman series is connected to the burton/shumacher series? How stupid can people be! THERE NOT, IN NO WAY CONNECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, based on interviews I read from Nolan, Bale, etc., here is the list so far of characters you most likely wont see, and if you heard differently, you better make sure your source is legit:
Robin. Penguin. Catwoman. Harlequinn. Oldman said he wanted to see the Riddler, but I dont think anyone rejected the idea… I think they are B.S.ing everyone about Catwoman, she belongs in Batmans life as opposed to Rachel in Bruces, and makes way for some Two Face revenge. Penguin and Harley, I can see why they wont– Joker most likely wont be in the next one, and Harley cant really stand on he r own and I heard the Penguin was gonna be a russian arms dealer for the mob in TDK, but low and behold, they already had The Russian, so that idea is gone, unless Joker didnt feed him to his pooches and he becomes the Penguin. And Robin… um maybe when Nolan leaves the franchise…so lets not go there till Batman 4. I will be researching and updating when im not working.
They need to use catwoman because its a logical batman girlfriend who isn’t really a girlfriend. because all of his friends are dead. I think this movie kind of killed everything off. no batmobile, no batcave, no two face, or classic looking suit. Their isn’t really a reality based reason for this guy to do anything. I don’t think Lucias Fox quit, but he might have. The Director said he didn’t want to use robin, and if batgirl is gordan’s daughter, she’s like 10 in the dark knight.
They basical have to recast the joker because they spent half the movie setting up a reason why the joker does what he does, ect. They shouldn’t use the riddler because jim carrey was way too high key with it and seems odd to compete with that as well as the penguin. that’s why they used Two Face, because tommy lee jones was actualy acting they amount he was supposed to.
They don’t want to make this cartoony so I guess their going to go with the penguin, but they can’t have the riddler because the joker’s in the picture. Their similar like in the 1960’s movie.
So, it they use catwoman and the penguin, they can’t call it retuns because it’s just like the 90’s movie. I don’t think we’re ready for mr. freeze. I like the caped crusader, they should build on that, but they can’t logicaly have the word Batman in the title, because they’ve already passed they point. I really don’t like The Batman, because it reminds me of that stupid current cartoon. That is a good point they can do somthing with harleqiun, but this joker seems like a celeibate phsycopath. I didn’t really like they way he was done in certain points like when he talks in a way like he’s acting like the joker, but I guess that’s what he was trying to pull off
This won’t be out untill 2011 or later anyway.
GenericEmail, I do agree that they should have Catwoman or a relevant love interest like Talia Al Ghul, perhaps. Lucious Fox didnt quit, he said he would if Bruce/Batman continued to use the massive cell phone sonar thing after they tracked the Joker. Bruce already anticipated this ahead of time and told him to type in his name when he was done using the device, so it would self-destruct, ensuring Lucious would still be part of the company. As far as Robin and Batgirl– Nolan and crew wanted to make the trilogy based on Batman developing, and establishing the character as realistically as possible before having the kid shoes cut in. You cant have him running around still learning and fighting and worrying about covering the ass of Robin– yet. Wait till 4 then maybe. Um, as far as the Batcave, you are going to see it again in 3 along with the newly rebuilt Wayne Manor, as forshadowed by Alfred who commented about it in TDK. Thats why Bruce was using the penthouse and underground base of operations for the time being. And Two-Face is not dead, Harvey Dent is. At the end of TDK– it is implied by Gordon that he is dead, to cover up Dents killings, which Batman took the credit for, for two reasons: So that criminals would now be more fearful of him, believing that he kills, and so the Joker would lose his game of destroying the cities’ hope they had in the untarnished image of Harvey. If Harvey/Two-Face died, Batman would be responsible (pushing him off a two story building, whereas he pushed Maroni off a four story and he lived)for killing him, thus breaking his one rule, and Nolan would be undoing the whole point he established in both movies: Batman does not kill. They are most likely hiding him in Arkham– maybe hes in a coma– but Eckhardt is signed to do two movies. And as stated earlier, Nolan/Goyer said is NOT doing Harlequinn, Penguin and most likely not recasting the Joker, because it would be like repeating TDK. They may do Catwoman– but they have stated they already have a theme and new villian in mind.
Several Names in my opinion
1) Nights Guardian
2) The Lonely Bats
3) Bats Legacy
Can I ask one question ? Is it true that Angelina Jolie will appear in the sequel as Catwoman ?
It was a statement by Julie Newmar, the tv show catwoman, whose words about who should play catwoman in the 3rd Batman, was her choice was A. Jolie. But, it was just a statement plastered everywhere by the Daily News or Post, considering the writer David S. Goyer recently said they most likely wont have her in it. At least shes in MK vs. DC.
I am thinking about Knightfall, or just to all traditional and just go with Batman.
I like DARK KNIGHT RISING myself. At the end of Dark Knight Bruce Wayne goes on the lam as The Batman to protect Harvey Dent’s good name. Right? Now with The Bat as a fugitive,you can just bet that Gotham City is going to be overrun with crime! And the police and SWAT will be hunting The Batman! This presents a quagmire situation for The Bat! The only villain I could really see at this point would have to be The Penguin! The Joker is locked away at Arkham with his buddy The Scarecrow. And Two-Face is dead! Everyone is hinting at The Riddler but I don’t think Riddler is half as good as The Joker and he could not carry a whole film by himself like Joker has! Therefore, The Nolans will bring in Penguin as an Al Capone type of figure. Poison Ivy could be his girlfriend. She’s an assassin who uses toxins. Riddler could be a business partner of Penguin. Bane could be Penguin’s “muscle”. So now you The Birdman and his goons reigning over all of Gotham. The Batman would rise up from the ashes like The Mighty Phoenix to reclaim his beloved city. Hence, a Dark Knight rising. To claim victory. And restore GOTHAM to proper order and balance. For now anyway…
the dark knight fighting over BAne , penguin , poison ivy ? I dont think that a good idea , even with Joker , Gotham white knight die , this time fight over three villain , if the sequel gonna fight three villain , I said Penguin , Catwoman and Mr.Freeze , thats all .…
I lied , I like the caped crusader better
I like Batman:Redemption but I wasthinking more like
Batman:Salvation or Gotham’s Knight or even The Fall of Gotham
or if he dies or quits being Batman
The Death of Knights
Something With Gothaam in It
I like Prince of Gotham or Rise of Gotham City.
the caped crusader:because in the 2nd movie he was referred to as DARK KNIGHT which made him a criminal to the eye of GOTHAM then he will be referred to as THE CAPED CRUSADER after he saves GOTHAM for the 3rd time redeeming himself.
they should call the movie the dark knight returns or the cape crusader or return of the dark knight.
Or you can call it the gotham knight or return of the gotham knight
I vote “Batman. Again.”
Or “The Batman” maybe.
Unless we’re going for cheesy in which case might as well be “Gotham Prince of the night.” Lol
We’ve had Batman Begins, we’ve had the Dark Knight, i think the next one should be called the Caped Crusader. Just a thought.
i think it should be call “THE DARK KNIGHT” return of the joker,
here is where the the people of gotham realize that they need the batman to take care of the “joker”.….….…..
I prefer to name the 3rd Batman Movie as
” THE KNIGHT SAVIOUR “
Hope to see Batman with new sophisticated Batmobile too
I wish 3rd sequel title for Batman movie’s
“THE KNIGHT SAVIOUR”
Batman: The Face We Call Our Own
Whenever talking about it (what I’d like to see, whether I think it’ll get made, etc.), I usually just call it “Batman 3″ or “the next Batman movie.”
Although, if we’re talking more hypothetical, as in what we’d like it to be called… I guess it’d depend on the story, but if they do make it and they continue on with the idea that Batman will be hunted and whatnot, I agree with a few other people that suggested “Shadow of the Bat,” but that’s partly because that was my favorite of the Batman books when I was a kid.
3rd title movie should be named “The Cape Crusader”. How hard is that???
I am a movie expert and it should and will be called 1 of 2 things either “The Dark Knight Continues” or “The Dark Knight Legacy” that is it ladies and gentlemen. Past titles of Tim Burtons franchise names were already used for example Batman,Batman Returns,Batman Forever,Batman and Robin. This is a remake so you have to think like a filmmaker do you honestly think they are going to use any past titles like RETURNS OR FOREVER in any future batman films. I don’t think so. The Dark Knight Forever sounds dumb anyway. The only reason why they used the word Batman again in Batman begins is because the Word Dark Knight was suppose to be a surprise for its sequel. Futute batman movies look like this Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), The Dark Knight Continues (2011), The Dark Knight Finale Maybe? or The Dark Knight and Wingman if Robin is added to franchise (2014) just a thought.
I have seen this in stores is it the same precise product?
“The Dark Knight Returns” is good but my favourite would be “The Caped Crusader”
simply GOTHAM CITY is my fav
