Nolan reveals Batman title

Christopher Nolan has finally revealed the title of his eagerly-awaited third Batman movie...

'The Dark Knight Rises'.

Nolan's sequel to 2008's 'The Dark Knight' will be the third part in the Batman trilogy, and will chart the Caped Crusader's comeback following the events from the last film. 'The Dark Knight' ended with Christian Bale's Batman on the run from Gotham's police force after they mistakenly believe he's committed a murder.

Nolan let slip the title of the third movie in an exclusive interview with The LA Times website, Hero Complex, and he also revealed that he convinced Warner Bros. to avoid shooting the film in 3D, opting for IMAX high-definition cameras as per the previous film instead.

The other big news is that 'The Dark Knight Rises' won't feature the villain everyone expected in the movie.

"It won't be the Riddler", Nolan revealed.

He remained tight-lipped on who the villain will be, but teased, "We’ll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we’ll be introducing some new ones."

Moviehole.net recently claimed that several little-known actresses were being tested for a major but unnamed part in the movie - which many suggest could be Catwoman.

Nolan has already surprised us with the no Riddler news - what's the betting he will do it again with Catwoman? We’ll have to wait for further confirmation on that one.

'The Dark Knight Rises' will be released in 2012. What do you think of the title
