Batman’s faithful butler, Alfred, has dropped bad news … again.
Batman fans everywhere have been furiously blogging and discussing the twists and turns in the will-they-or-won’t-they debate over a third installment of Christopher Nolan’s revamped Batman franchise. Early on it was announced that, although lead actor Christian Bale was contractually obligated to appear in Batman 3, Nolan had no such obligation and might decide not to direct another one.
Screenwriter David S. Goyer gave fans some hope when he said that he believed Nolan would return if he could “find the story that he’s happy with.” Then, Gary Oldman got everyone excited when he announced that filming would begin in 2010, only to recant his statement a couple days later.Actor Cillian Murphy, who played The Scarecrow in the first two films, is hopeful that another film will be made, and Aaron Eckhart, said that he “would do anything” Nolan asked of him, including reprise his TDK role of Two-Face.
Michael CaineMichael Caine, who plays butler Alfred in both Batman films, initially gave fans some intriguing news when he announced that Johnny Depp and Philip Seymor Hoffman had been cast respectively as The Riddler and The Joker in Batman 3. However, a year later he retracted his statement saying that Depp was not involved and that there was “nobody … no script, there’s nothing.”
Now, Caine is at it again, this time announcing that fans shouldn’t hold their breath for another installment of bat-justice.
As for the future… if they ever make another Batman, I will be in, I will be the butler…
But I don’t know if they are ever going to make another Batman. If they do it won’t be for quite a while.”
