Christopher Nolan Titles Next Batman Film The Dark Knight Rises
The geeks truly have taken over the world. Hot on the heels of the news that James Cameron is planning to make two Avatar sequels, comes actual news about Christopher Nolan's next Batman sequel. The director tells Hero Complex that his third foray into Gotham City will be called -- drumroll, please -- The Dark Knight Rises. Huh. Guess Batman Returns was taken. Nolan also reveals that the main villain won't be The Riddler, meaning you can begin anew your Tom Hardy character speculation. Enjoy! [LAT/Hero Complex]

The title tips Nolan's hand for his next Eric Roberts/Tom Berenger-throwback-casting: Treat Williams will have a role in this film.
If the Dark Knight is rising, that means Catwoman's in town.
Nolan just made it REALLY easy for the porn parody producers.
Unless they're the ones who incepted the idea....
Holy fan-fictiony title, Batman!
