The Dark Knight Speaks

///

The Batman himself, Christian Bale, recently spoke out the about upcoming Bat-sequel, The Dark Knight:

From DH:

""I just love that title. You know, nothing's written in stone yet, but I like, very much, that it doesn't have 'Batman' written in the title. This take on Batman of mine and Chris' is very different from any of the others and everything else always had Batman in the title. I think this is kind-of distancing it even further and saying, 'Hey, this is a whole different creature from what has come before" says Bale.

In regards for the casting of Heath Ledger as the Joker, Bale says "Heath is very much into what Chris had done with the first one and he's very passionate about the role. And he's a really good actor so we're going to see something very special from him".

Shooting is scheduled to begin early next year, and Bale confirms the news - "Chris and I have only just finished working on The Prestige together and I have another project before we start on Batman"."

Good stuff a'comin from Mr. Patrick Bateman. The Prestige looks awesome.
