Batman 3 2012 Film Rumors: Is "The Long Halloween" to be the Basis of the Next Film?

No Aaron Eckhart was not offered a role in Batman 3 he said if they needed him he would reprise his role but never did he say he was offered a chance to return.

Long Halloween is already the basis for Dark Knight it doesn't really have allot of story in it left to adapt anyway since a large amount of it was used in The Dark Knight.

There has been no real news at all if any comes it would be official word from those involved not a website.

but i suppose he could do something with a Holiday killer, but i wouldnt keep my hopes up

DEADSHOT/BANE/FIREFLY/BLACK MASK !!!!!

the long halloween was the influence to TDK and retold two faces origin, so Batman 3 could easily be based on the sequel to long halloween, which is dark victory.
All you have to do is replace the hangman with riddler, take out robin (or if he makes it an older batman to come back there could be robin), and only hint at Catwoman.
Dark Victory original villains: Hangman, 2 face, catwoman.
Nolans version: Riddler, Catwoman (full or hinted) and 2face (hinted or full)

I'm not the kind to mock people, but, HA HA HA to anyone who actually thinks "Firefly", "Deadshot" (more likely than Firefly, imo), and "Black Mask" (more likely than Firefly and Deadshot, but still unlikely) will appear in Batman 3. You will be disappointed.

Of course Nolan is trying to satisfy us, true Bat fans, but he still has an obligation to put the best and more popular and well known foes in the film, you know, for the casual movie goers.

I like the idea of the Long Halloween or Dark Victory being the theme, considering I LOVE the two stories. I think Holiday or the Hangman could be cool characters Nolan can toy with, still I think the Riddler will be your primary villain, and not the pussified Riddler from these two stories, a more sinister and psychological, my guess "Zodiac" style riddler.

I think Depp SHOULD play him, but wouldn't mind Leo, Guy Pierce, or that guy from Dexter you guys are always referring to. I hear all the JGL rumors, and I realllly like him as an actor, really, but in my opinion he has too much of a young look to play the Riddler. Looking for someone 30-35 looking maybe? I do think JGL could however have a part in the film, I think if and IF they decide to introduce Robin/Nightwing, JGL would be perfect for the part, but Nolan said Robin won't appear, so I give that a 99.9% chance of not happening. PS: No Catwoman, please!

I HATE Catwoman...

Riddler & Hugo Strange v Batman & Catwoman...that would freakin awesome !

I just found out that there is a REALLY good chance that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is going to play the Riddler! Now for those of you who do not know who that is, he played alone side the late Heath Ledger in "10 things I hate about you". I am torn on this on whether it is a good choice or not....your thoughts?
