Never Met a Zombi I Didn’t Like…

BATMAN 3 is officially a GO!

Warner Bros. scheduled July 20, 2012, as the release date for the next installment of the Batman film franchise.

Director Christopher Nolan brought the Caped Crusader back to the big screen in 2005′s “Batman Begins” and 2008′s “The Dark Knight” which earned over $1 billion worldwide and garnered Heath Ledger a posthumous Oscar for his role as The Joker.

While no other details about the film were announced Friday, speculation will begin in earnest as to what the storyline will entail and who the villian or villians will be.

While one wouldn’t think that director Nolan would recast the Joker with a new actor to replace the late Heath Ledger, you have to believe that the greedy studio executives would have little problem whispering in his ear to do just that. The Joker is Box-office gold and the audience interest with a different actor playing the role would create the same type of pre-Dark Knight buzz that the film got after the stunning death of Ledger. Bottom line, LET the speculation begin! It should be fun.
