It’s only been one year and we can’t wait to get a sequel to the greatest comic book movie of all-time, The Dark Knight. But it looks like the man behind the camera (Chris Nolan) might have others plans.
According to a source at Batman on Film:
The death of Heath Ledger in January of 2008 rocked Mr. Nolan hard. So hard that Chris was convinced that TDK was going to be it for him and Batman on film.
You are correct in reporting that he is developing story ideas with [Jonathan Nolan] and David Goyer, but it will be until AT LEAST 2012 before we see the Caped Crusader back [in theaters]. And that is only an EARLY ESTIMATE at best right now. They are even saying it might not be until 2013.
Not even the Joker finds humor in this. It was a hard loss to lose Ledger, but what can be done?
