…will not be a third Batman. Instead, it’s called Inception, and it’s based on an original script by Nolan himself.
Variety describes it as “a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind.” So in other words, we don’t know much about it.
Between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Nolan made The Prestige, so it’s not entirely surprising that he wants to take a Batman break again. But even with The Prestige, Nolan was able to get The Dark Knight out three years after Begins, which is unlikely to happen again. The Variety article mentions that Warner Bros. hopes to get Inception out by summer 2010 — which would realistically position a third Bat movie for a release no earlier than summer 2012.
And that’s if Nolan decides to do it at all.
Still, this is exciting news, since Nolan’s non-Batman movies (which include Memento and Insomnia) have all been terrific in their own right.
