Gary Oldman must be crazier than an escapee from Arkham Asylum, or Warner Brothers gave him the hush hush thumbs up. The actor, who was San Diego Comic-Con promoting his upcoming film The Book of Eli alongside Denzel Washington, let slip that there might be a Dark Knight sighting sooner than people think:
"We start filming the next 'Batman' next year, which means it won't come out for another two years," he said, before adding in a sly tone, "but you didn't hear that from me."
WB decided not to comment on Oldman's coy statement, but I can't believe he let that slip without some sort of approval from upper management. Whether or not it's true is what's in question. San Diego Comic-Con is the perfect venue for keeping long gestating franchises alive. A mere mention on the big stage can keep a film's prospects alive long past it's shelf date. Not that Batman is in dire straits or anything, but there's been no public movement on the 3rd film, and last I heard Christopher Nolan was a bit unsure as to the direction it should take in the wake of Heath Ledger's death.
