The Dark Knight Rises

Christopher Nolan has announced the title of his third Batman film: The Dark Knight Rises.  I'm glad the title is something no one guessed (The Caped Crusader and Gotham City were the most popular theories making the rounds for the past couple years), and that it's a legitimately good title.  The last time we saw Batman, he wasn't exactly on top of the world, and the promise of him rising again means that, hopefully, he'll be embraced as a hero at long last.

The other news making the rounds: the Riddler is not the villain.  Tom Hardy was recently added to the cast, so maybe he'll be facing off with Christian Bale as the yet-unrevealed villain.  I can't wait to hear more.

July 20, 2012 cannot come soon enough.
