This is the official story to-date. The source even had citations to back it up.

--------------------------------------鈥?br>
Warner Bros. president of production Jeff Robinov hopes a third film will be released in 2011 or 2012. Nolan is not committed to another sequel, explaining that he does not normally line up projects right after completing a film, noting "Is there a story that's going to keep me emotionally invested for the couple of years that it will take to make another one?



That鈥檚 the overriding question. On a more superficial level, I have to ask the question: How many good third movies in a franchise can people name?" He added the only reason he would return would be if he found a necessary way to continue the story, but he feared midway through filming another installment he would find it redundant.



Nolan had written a rough story outline and made some notes by December 2008, despite his uncertainty in returning for the sequel. Later in December, Alan F. Horn confirmed that while discussions with Nolan about a third film were ongoing, no casting had been done, and Horn categorically denied all such rumors.



Gary Oldman is confident Nolan will return, and Bale said he would return if Nolan did. Oldman hinted that, in the third film, Commissioner Gordon would have to "hunt down Batman". He has also speculated that the villain of the upcoming film might be the Riddler. Nolan explained that as long as he is directing, Robin will not be appearing in the franchise because Bale is still portraying a "young Batman", which meant "Robin's not for a few films".



Christian Bale has even gone on record to say that if they bring in Robin, he's out of the franchise. In addition, Nolan considers the Penguin difficult to portray on film, explaining, "There are certain characters that are easier to mesh with the more real take on Batman we're doing. The Penguin would be tricky."



Without any story in place, casting suggestions at this stage are almost entirely rumor. Kate Beckinsale has expressed interest in playing Catwoman, while Angelina Jolie has been suggested to play the role. Julie Newmar, who played Catwoman in the Batman series from 1966 to 1967, said "Angelina would own the part."



David Tennant wishes to portray the Riddler. Aaron Eckhart had expressed his enthusiasm that he would reprise his role for a sequel if asked, although he later confirmed that, in talks with Nolan before Heath Ledger's death, the director considers his character dead. Michael Caine commented that a studio executive was interested in casting Johnny Depp as the Riddler, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin. Hoffman stated that he had not been approached regarding a role in the film.



Gary Oldman, while taking questions from an audience at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con, was asked about a third film, in which he replied "We start shooting next year. You didn't hear that from me." He subsequently clarified his comment, saying "...well, I'm sure they want to do another one... it might [be] 2 or 3 years." However, Michael Caine has told MTV news that the film is not being worked on and Johnny Depp has not been offered any role.
