Approach with caution: this morning’s rumour lockdown comes courtesy of none other than the next entry in the Batman franchise.
Ever since The Dark Knight took a record-breaking haul at the box office, everybody’s been asking when a third rebooted adventure will be hitting the Gotham streets.
Well, Deadline Hollywood ’s insider Nikki Finke seems to think writer David S Goyer is about to put pen to paper. See, he’s just left TV series FlashForward , and Nikki says it’s all thanks to the bat.
Says she: “Of course, Goyer’s feature career is really heating up, since he co-wrote Batman Begins , and penned the story for The Dark Knight , and is now writing the third Batman installment with Chris Nolan’s brother Jonah [ aka Jonathan ].”
Now, Finke doesn’t give any concrete reason (i.e. proof) for thinking that Goyer is currently writing the third flick other than the fact that he left ABC’s sci-fi series.
But Finke has always been a reliable source. Has she heard whispers in the Warner Bros corridors that the script is warming up? Or has she just got her facts wrong? (It happens.)
If anything, we bet Chris Nolan will time an announcement about the new Batman flick to coincide with the release of Inception . That’s what we’d do, anyway...
Bat-tastic? Or just batty? Tell us how you feel in that comments box...
