Batman 3 Rumors Laid To Rest

That’s right folks, Batman screenwriter David Goyer himself had 2 things to say; 1) Its ALL B.S. and 2) ALL OF IT! So there you have it, Batman will NOT start filming in early 2009, NO word of any villains yet, this means NO Johnny Depp as Riddler OR Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Penguin (yet), DEFINATELY NO CHER AS CATWOMAN and also NO CONFIRMATION on Nolan signing on to do the third film.

But there’s still gonna be loads of rumors flying around so I’m taking it upon myself to start another one…<clearing throat>…ready? Ok, George Clooney wants to come back and not only be Batman again but also Alfred, Robin and Batgirl…you heard it here first.

Well it turns out people are liars!

Is Will Smith going to be Captain America? Derek Luke says yes, Marvel say no, I’m still saying who the hell is Derek Luke?!? Mr Luke, i don’t like you.

As for Philip Seymour Hoffman playing The Penguin, this is what he said:

“No one has talked to me about it–ever.”

So it also turns out that Michael Caine doesn’t have a clue what his talking about and nor does this ‘mystery’ Warner Brothers exec that he spoke to.

I wonder if Brad Pitt has been offered the role of Mary Jane Watson yet?*

*This was my false rumor that i originally started in a previous post ^_^

Will Batman 3 happen?

Will it happen? Should it happen? Can they top The Dark Knight? I think there’s no harm in giving it a try and Michael Caine thinks the same way. In a recent interview he asked how Heath Ledger can be topped and the reply was: ‘I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.’

This came from a Warner Brothers Executive so it has to mean something.  What do i think of all this? Johnny Deep as Ridder and Philip Seymour Hoffman as penguin…get ready for a better Batman film! I love the idea of A List celebrities doing all the superhero films now, it gives a lot of credit to the comic world and i personally think they make the best films…thats my opinion though, don’t question it.
