Yet whether its that Chris Nolan has signed on, and will start pre-production early next year, or that Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman will play the villains, or that Cher (Cher!) is lining up to wear Catwomans claws, theres one thing that each and every supposed scoop has in common, Batman Begins and Dark Knight storyman David Goyer told MTV News:
Its all B.S., he said. ALL of it.
That means, no, Nolan has not signed on (yet). No, there is no casting, let alone TALK, of villains, and, no, nobody is certain to return.
Chris and I havent even talked about it. He quite understandably is taking a long, long vacation and wants to purge himself, Goyer said.
Goyer means they havent talked about it officially, although, of course, he does admit as he did when we chatted in July that theyve loosely bandied about themes and more.
We have mused here and there [but] I mean Chris is pretty much a one movie at a time kind of guy, Goyer said. I wish I could tell you more. There really isnt anything to tell.
So continue to have fun with the speculation, the talk, the great debate fans have argued about back and forth in posts like the above on theme, and others. Goyer himself called the fan speculation amusing.
Just know there isnt anything official. And when there is?
If and when [Chris is] ready to talk - well talk, he promised.
