Though we are guaranteed that a sequel to the savior
of the Batman film franchise, Batman
Begins, is a definite, the exact details on the project
seem to come and go. Though nobody is willing to get into specifics yet,
Christopher Nolan [director] is willing to answer some of the border questions.
Nolan Talks Batman Sequel
About
caught up with director Christopher Nolan and, besides sharing hopes that
future Batman films follows the same formula behind Batman Begins,
decided they would try to drill him with a couple questions concerning the
sequel for the film; something we can [humorously] call Batman Continues.
Will you be doing Batman Continues?
Well, it certainly won’t be called that. That’s the title most commonly thrown at me. Actually, I have been talking to the studio and to David Goyer about directions for a sequel because we’re certainly very excited still about the world we were able to dive into and the characters we were able to put on screen. It’s a pretty interesting bunch of people and an interesting place, so we’re definitely talking about places we would take it.
Will you use two villains again or
is the Joker going to be enough?
I wouldn’t want to talk about any specifics per se. All I can really say is it’s a film we’re talking about doing.
Let me try a philosophical way of asking: Could Robin be introduced
without dumbing down the series?
Possibly, but I can’t really talk about specifics.
Since we are still early in pre-production, the
only real specific we know is that we can expect the arrival of the Joker
in the next film.

sequel, go to About.
