Finally some long awaited news has surfaced and been confirmed from Inception and the Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan about the next Batman film, which he says will be titled, The Dark Knight Rises.

Sadly, Nolan doesn't reveal who he's planning to have as the main villain(s) or much of what the story will be, but he does scratch one theory from fanboys' and fangirls' lists. “It won’t be the Riddler,” Nolan said in an exclusive interview with the Hero Complex.

“We’ll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we’ll be introducing some new ones." was the last bit he would reveal about the next film.

Nolan was more than happy to share that Warner Bros. has agreed that the film should stay away from the current 3-D craze and instead use high-definition approaches and IMAX cameras. The Times does promise a more in depth story will come where Nolan talks about his plan to stay away from 3D for the film and focus on other film techniques that can utilize the IMAX format.
