Batman 3 called The Dark Knight Rises and WON'T feature the Riddler!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. What seems to be the news of the day comes from an exclusive interview with Christopher Nolan by my buddy Geoff Boucher over at the Hero Complex Blog in which he unveils the title, eliminates The Riddler as a possible villain. We've been hearing that a female lead casting notice has gone out, which does point to the possibility of Catwoman, but then again... Bruce needs a woman since his didn't quite make it out of the last film, so it could be as simple as a new Rachel-like character. Nolan was the most eager to discuss that WB has agreed to let him shoot the film without 3D and that his signature use of IMAX technology will return for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. Read more of the interview here. The real interesting stuff is Boucher's pondering on the title and it possibly meaning a return of a still living Two-Face. He mentions visiting the set of The Dark Knight where Nolan told him that The Dark Knight refers just as much to Harvey Dent as it does to Batman. Food for thought. Anyway, give it a read and let's get the discussion started below!
