Gary Oldman Plays it Cool Over Dark Knight Sequel

image

Gary 'Commisioner Gordon' Oldman let slip a some details about the next Batman movie, but keep it under your hat, ok?

Trusting Gary Oldman with sensitive information is like trusting the Cookie Monster with your Double Stuf Oreos. He just can't help himself:

"We start filming the next 'Batman' next year, which means it won't come out for another two years," he said during a preview of his latest film, adding, "but you didn't hear that from me."

It's probably safe to say that no one is actually surprised by this 'slip', the Dark Knight made more than a billion dollars after all, but it's nice to have it confirmed nonetheless.

What we don't know yet is who else will be appearing in the film. This time last year names like Johnny Depp, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Angelina Jolie were being thrown around, but as yet it's all just rumor. Still, if they let Oldman know, he'll let us know.

Of course we didn't hear that from him when it was just shown he said that. Glad about the sequel news though, it'll most likely feature the Riddler and I don't know how they can trump the Dark Knight.

If anyone asks me ill just blame IMDB, cos gary oldman might turn back into dracula and hunt me down. So basically 3 years until the next one, god why does that seem like such a long time from now?

Hopefully this movie won't be that much worse than the Dark Knight, because personally, I thought that the Dark Knight was only above average at best. Although I love the Riddler, so I hope that he will be in it.

Clock King better be in this.

Blasphemy, the Dark Knight was amazing! Bad quoter, bad! Besides the Riddler isn't that interesting a character.

Nice avatar though.

either that or he'll turn into a werewolf and we'll be forced to crucio him

I just hope that Joel Schumacher plays the next villain, that way we'd get to see Christian Bale throw him off a building...

I liked it, I just thought that it was far too overrated, partially due to Heath Ledger's untimely death. I did like the darkness it had though, and part of my dislike was Batman. I hated him so much in that movie. And the Riddler is my favorite because he is the only Batman villain other than Joker and Penguin that I remember fondly.

He's such a friendly looking guy, who wouldn't trust him with "secrets"?

Christian Bale's the worst Batman I've ever seen, it should've just been a movie about The Joker and it would've been 100 times better.

I can understand that, Bale is a hit or miss actor. The Riddler never did anything memorable to my knowledge though.

hahaha... as much as I disagree with peoples view of the Schumacher batman movies (I liked the old Batman series, and I like that campy style.. If you like the Batman series from the 60s and see the schumacher movies in that light, they are pretty good), that would be fitting.

Christian Bale's ok.. I just wish he didn't do "the batman voice".. his bruce wayne voice is plenty gruff enough to make it believable as the dark knight.

You know who needs to be in this? Jewel Staite.
I can see her playing... Someone, but it would be awesome!

On Topic: It's good to hear that the next Batman is confirmed.

The movies took a plunge in quality after Adam West left. I mean, how am I supposed to take them seriously without the POW! coming up on screen?

Barbara Gordon in a couple sequels. /nod

Odd, I immediately thought of her as Harley Quinn.

That's casting against type, I know, but when you think of it Oldman himself has played a lot of less-than-clean-cut characters... I mean, Pontius Pilate, Zorg, Sid Vicious, even Lee Harvey Oswald!

I want them to put bane in it, a proper bane!

I'd love to see Harley Quinn

When did he play Lee Harvy Oswald?

Dude we're gonna have to wait 2 years for the next one?

Crud!

Hopefully it will be a good one. Bring in The Riddler or The Penguin!

Thanks for confirming the obvious.

Well, the way things went in the movie, you'd think Two Face would be back. I'd also like to see a good version of The Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer was alright. Halle Berry better GTFO. Bitch keeps ruining comic book characters). Also Bane and Harley Quinn.

That must be the greatest video ever! And so true. Sometimes I just can't understand what he's saying in the movie. Thank god for subtitles.

Been a while since I watched the Dark Knight but didn't Two Face die at the end of it?

It's been a while since I've seen it as well, and I thought for sure that he was alive. Ten again, it's a comic book, not reason he cannot come back, I guess.

It wasn't really clear he was dead. I think they shuffled him off to Arkham and put him in a deep, dark cell.

Next villian? Gimme Catwoman. Batman's in need of a new girlfriend! No, really, he's (emotionally) at his most vulnerable now, mourning Rachel Dawes, so Catwoman's appearance would be even more devastating.

If Batman were happy... it wouldn't be Batman anymore.

Just give me bloody Harley Quinn and Bane, and we can get gold here. Bane who put Batman in his most helpless state, and Quinn who fucks with Batman's life at the request of Joker or something. Maybe even stick Ivy in there, she usually rolls with Quinn.

Just for the love of GOD don't actually go through with the CG joker I've been hearing about, please no.

That's awesome. "Secret Batman filming information. But you didn't hear it from me."

I am in complete disbelief that there is now going to be a sequel to the Dark Knight! I was under the assumption that all the people involved with Dark Knight HATED making money and the idea of making a sequel would just be ABSURD. Once again, very surprised.

In all seriousness though, I'm very excited for the next installment :D

Aww man, Batman Begins wasn't all that good, and the Dark Knight sucked.... but ah well, it'll make money, and people are dumb enough to buy into it, so I guess I shouldn't surprised...

He *probably* died.

I refuse to believe it myself, but that's just because he was so good... awesome origin story, awesome effects for his face, so much potential, just to be wasted after 25 minutes

I though it was a little bit overrated too, though the casting was perfect the acting was amazing (except for Bales annoying fake voice). It's still an amazing film, and to be honest it would be weird without a sequel - I mean, the ending scenes seemed set up to imply there would be a sequel - or was that just me that thought that.

Then again, if people think the sequel is worse, then I might think it's better. After all, I know no one else except me who loved Batman Begins so much... Stupid logic I know, plus I'm not sure if I should admit to that...

ChromeAlchemist:

I agree, CG characters based on real people that are recognizable are just... offputting, like the Xavier at the end of the newest X-men origins movie.

there are enough people who can do Ledger's Joker impressions REALLY good, that I'm sure they can find someone to replace him... maybe as just a hannibal lecter in SIlence of the Lambs capacity.. but that could be enough if, say he had Harley Quinn working for him..

Quinn's an interesting character.. created for the animated series, but she was so popular that she just exploded into comics and other media. Pretty interesting I think.
