Simple and to the Point

Director Christopher Nolan revealed yesterday that the follow-up to his successful Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight, will be titled…The Dark Knight Rises.

Well, it beats The Batman Saga: Battier Than Evah.

Honestly, it doesn’t sound too inventive – after all, at the end of The Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader became a wanted-for-murder fugitive. I don’t think anyone thought the guy wouldn’t rise and clear his name.

In any case, Nolan also let the cat out of the bag on the who-will-be-the-villain front, or actually, who it won’t be: the Riddler.

Catwoman, though, remains in contention, what with the Rachel Weisz rumors still very much alive and a report that the helmer is interviewing young actresses for a part.
