David Goyer & Jonathan Nolan Working on Batman 3 Script?
It’s another one of “these” stories. Yes, the sequel to The Dark Knight is coming, it’s just taking some time. And yes, they’re probably working on a script right now, even though Chris Nolan is still finishing Inception. Just this past weekend, David S. Goyer announced that he was leaving the ABC show FlashForward to work on “feature projects.” Although he directed The Unborn and was FlashForward’s showrunner, Goyer also put together the story for The Dark Knight and co-wrote Batman Begins, too. However, it shouldn’t be an immediate assumption that the “feature project” he’s working on instead is indeed Batman 3. Read on!
Here’s where things get a little bit skeptical. ComingSoon points out this quote from Nikki Finke’s article on Deadline Hollywood about Goyer leaving FlashForward. But I don’t think this is any confirmation at all.
Of course, Goyer’s feature career is really heating up, since he co-wrote Batman Begins, and penned the story for The Dark Knight, and is now writing the third Batman installment with Chris Nolan’s brother Jonah. (“As my feature projects have started ramping up again, I felt I was being pulled in too many directions,” Goyer said in a statement. “I’m proud of the show and excited about the relaunch. It’s in great hands.”)
It’s not that I don’t trust Nikki Finke, I do, but I think it’s just “assumed” that Goyer and Jonah are working on the script. Finke may have heard that Warner Brothers is paying them to work on it, which would make sense, but I feel like we hear that every other month. Like I said, yes it’s coming, but Chris Nolan wants to finish Inception first. Let him take his time, don’t rush him, and we’ll get a better move in the end. If this is indeed the case, and Jonah (or Jonathan as he’s also known) is working on the script right now with Goyer, it may be a sign that DC Entertainment is trying to step things up. Along with the great news we’ve heard about Green Lantern, too. Hopefully we’ll hear an official announcement soon? I doubt it, at least not soon.

need different villains then usual the likes of bane & killer croc.i’m bored of seeing same villains all the time joker,riddler,cat woman & penguin.
be aware also, when a movie is on top there’s only one place to go.
downnnnnnnnnn
this could be bad.
Be aware, the third movie is always the bad one!!!!
Call me skeptical or call me pessimistic, but I just don’t think Batman 3 is going to be able to hold up against The Dark Knight. I feel they had a general idea of what they wanted to do in the 2 sequels and frankly, Heath Ledger dieing completely threw that out the window.
The Dark Knight completely sacrificed the character of Batman/Bruce Wayne to set up easily the greatest Villain movie ever made (even better than Scarface) which is saying a lot since the cheesy boat-choice thing was pretty horrible. It was completely saved by the last confrontation between Batman and the Joker.
“I think you and I are destined to do this forever”.
You knew you were being set up for a hero movie in the third one. You had the perfect villain and the perfect mythical clash of good versus evil set up.
Now you don’t.
i hope this info is correct, this is at the top of my most anticipated list
Any news of the new installment of Batman is good news to me and I hope the original team stays together to create the 3rd film… I just hope Jonah does not kill anyone else in the mean time and gets himself in trouble.
