Today’s Comic-Con panel for The Book of Eli ended up being a great reveal for Batman lovers. When asked about a possible Batman 3, this is what Gary Oldman had to say about the movie:

The next Batman is next year, so I think it is two years away. But you didn’t hear it from me.

Okay Gary, we’ll try not to let anyone know you let that slip – ha!

Although Oldman has back-peddled a bit in follow-up interviews and said it’s probably 2 or 3 years away, I think he might have just got a tongue-lashing from Warner Bros. Who knows….

He didn’t have anything to say about the involvement of Christian Bale or Christopher Nolan but at least we know the movie is happening. There’s been plenty of rumours going around about Bale and/or Nolan not doing anymore Batman movies and perhaps there not even being another Batman for quite some time but at least now we now that by 2011 the Dark Knight will return in all his glory. If Nolan is to be involved, he’ll have to squeeze Batman in soon after the completion of his next big-budget movie, Inception, which comes out in July 2010. Hopefully 2010 is a busy year for Mr. Nolan because we need him back behind the camera for the Batman 3!
