"We'll be proud of our No. 3 slot," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., which released "The Dark Knight" and has hopes for more in the Batman franchise from its director, Christopher Nolan. "I can just give Chris Nolan a nudge that he's got to raise the bar."

Here are a few things that I’m now comfortable posting on BOF after doing some digging and talking with a few folks over the last several weeks. And remember, while I feel pretty good about the following, NOTHING is set in stone, so talk it with the proverbial grain of salt…

* While I won’t go as far as to say it’s a done deal, I’m almost certain that director Christopher Nolan has agreed to do BATMAN 3 and it most likely will be his follow-up to INCEPTION. I'll be highly shocked and surprised if this isn't the case and Mr. Nolan doesn't return.

* Look for an official announcement between now and the end of July 2010. Keep in mind that THE DARK KNIGHT was officially announced in July of 2006 -- two years prior to the release of the film. The wildcard here is Nolan’s INCEPTION. Will Warner Bros. (and Nolan) prefer to get the B3 announcement out of the way before the promotion of the film begins?

* I have to be very vague here, OK? But there’s some scuttlebutt that a major character in THE DARK KNIGHT might -- let me repeat, might -- return in BATMAN 3 (and I’m not talking about Two Face -- though Harvey could indeed return via flashbacks).

Looks like they're leaning toward recasting the Joker.

The thing about the Joker that rocks is he really can be recast as he has no true origin story (I know that Moore sort of came up with one but that's like his least favorite thing that he wrote so who gives a shit -- they didn't make one in the movies), so there is no real need for continuity between actors. The Joker is chaos, and thus can be anyone crazy enough.

They will definitely need it, A hard ass role to follow

Maybe they can make him someone who was inspired by the Joker so that way its like Heath's version is gone but now there is a new one. I think they should just try and stay away from the Joker but it is pretty much Batman's ultimate enemy.

Joseph Gordon Levitt would be my top choice to recast as the Joker

Fill me in on this Inception movie. It has me intrigued with all the good words written about it in this thread. That said, I know absolutely nothing about this movie and from an outsider looking in it seems like a Matrix ripoff.

No one really knows, it's been uber secretive. All anyone really knows is that it will knock your socks off with its pure awesomeness.

CAST: Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Written and directed by Christopher Nolan.

BACK STORY: So what exactly is this film? That's a popular question after a visually dazzling but enigmatic trailer was released (and its title doesn't exactly clear things up).

Is it an international thriller? A story of madness and lost love? Or Hollywood's first metaphysical heist movie? The answer is "all of the above," says Nolan, whose follow-up to "The Dark Knight" seems to have Ian Fleming, the Wachowski brothers and Sigmund Freud as its spiritual advisors.

"I think we've put a lot of different things into the pot with this one," Nolan said last week during a break from editing. "I grew up watching James Bond films and loving those and watching spy movies with their globe-trotting sensibility. We get to do that here not just geographically but also in time and dimensions of reality as well. We get to make a movie that's expansive, I suppose you'd say, in four dimensions."

The key part of the premise is corporate espionage by way of dream invasion, but motives and even reality are slippery in a film that toys with perception as its travels through time and space. The crew covered a lot of territory too, filming in six countries. "This is the biggest challenge I've taken on to this point," Nolan says. "We're trying to tell a story on a massive scale, a true blockbuster scale -- the biggest I've ever been involved with. We tried to make a very large scale film with 'The Dark Knight,' and with this one we wanted to push that even further."

Honestly with Inception, I just have a feeling it will be like a James Cameron movie, will it will open up to good, not great box office, but will make money every week and evenutally be top 20 grosser. I mean everything about it looks amazing. Man does Leo really know how to choose movies. To think at one point I didnt like him, now hes in my top 5.

[Goober]

This is what I'm talking about. What do you actually know about the movie? I'm seriously curious about this movie, but damn, the details are few and far between. Not sure how many so many people are positive it's going to be a winner.

The director is one of the best in the business and the cast is amazing. What more do you need?

[Buzzman]

the reason everyone thinks it will do well is because 1.) Its got a great director 2.) A great cast 3.) Despite showing literally nothing, its got everyones attention who has seen the teaser trailers 4.) Nolan, whos made many great films, is calling this one his baby. Thats why I get the feeling that everyone who is excited will go see it and it make 60 million opening weekend, but then everyoine who watches it will spread the word and bam, its a James Cameron film. Its not very hard to predict.
