After bringing the Caped Crusader back to the big screen with Batman Begins in 2005 and now with The Dark Knight, which opens on July 18th, director Christopher Nolan is already facing questions about a third possible film. Well, so far, he's only got one thing to say: He's not sure about it.
That's right, the man most credited with making Batman a viable box office franchise again is considering not returning for another installment. Reviews for Dark Knight have, so far, been overflowing with praise for the film, more commonly comparing it to classics like The Godfather Part II as opposed to Iron Man or Spider-Man 2. Of course, he hasn't ruled out doing the movie, he's actually said that he just hasn't decided.
When asked about returning for a third Batman movie, Nolan's only response was, "I don't know... The only way I can answer that question--there are two ways. The first thing to say is, I literally finished this film last week. That was when we finished our IMAX prints. So I have no idea what I'm going to do next, what I'll do in the future."
Of course, we don't mean to panic any rabid Batman fan, leading them to think that Nolan is abandoning the franchise. Sam Raimi made similar comments around the release of Spider-Man 2.
Wait, hadn't there been talk that all the Harvey Dent (possibly Two-Face) business in Dark Knight was just build up for the third film? Is that all a load of mumbo jumbo? What do you think? Will Nolan be back for a third Batman?

And Skull...don't forget, The Indiana Jones movies were signed to make 5 and it took them a span of what..20 years to make the 4th.
To the Batcave!!!
That would be cool =]!
if there is another Riddler it should be Jim Cary again =D
I know back in the early 90's the last thing people thought was that Batman, of all movies, would turn the whole franchise sour... I know this one will be one to remember, but I think he is re thinking the 3rd movie because of Heath Ledgers sad and untimely death...
He is in Heaven as we speak, R.I.P.
i mean why set up the two-face storyline if it's not leading anywhere?
ah psh!
Because he won't.
