In an interview with
Crave Online Gary mentions the possibility of a Batman four and five. This seems a bit strange since a lot of the speculation is that Nolan could kill off Batman by the end of the third movie. I stress that is just speculation, but either way Nolan has always said this third movie would wrap up his franchise quite neatly. The comments from Gary Oldman seem to contradict that. Guess we'll just have to wait for the movie to come out and see if there is still hope for more Batman in the Nolanverse.
Does ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ feel like an ending, doing the last entry of this incarnation of Batman?
Yeah, yeah. For us I think it's the end. Whether they will make more, my guess is probably. I mean, they don't have Potter anymore. So, there could be a Batman 4 a 5. It may be Chris overseeing it in a produce-rial position, but for us and for Chris I think that's it. It's a great way to go out though. It's a great story. Epic, epic thing it is.
That's the important thing, that it's really about the story.
I think Chris strikes me as someone who's too smart and he’s sort of too classy to just sort of make a third for the sake of making it. I don't think that's who he is. I remember way back saying to him, '”Is there going to be a third?” He said, “If I can get the story right. I've got to outdo myself. I've got to do it better than The Dark Knight. I've just got to get it right.” He set the bar very high, and so he said, “If I can find a story that interests me I will do it.” I think also it's genius that he's picked Bane as the villain, that he didn't go with The Riddler or The Penguin. I think right there is a wise choice.
The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Garly Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate.
