New Posters For Third Batman Sequel?

These may be nothing, but I was looking around on Movies Online and came across these very interesting posters, apparently an indication of the lastest Batman film, titled Gotham City. See for yourself.







Now, these could be nothing more than just fan-made posters. The backgrounds are the same as seen in some of The Dark Knight posters. The first poster appears to be Catwoman; the second, Harley Quinn (The Joker's girlfriend); and the third, The Riddler.

If these are fan-made, the cast list at the top are pretty extensive. Marion Cotillard, Kristin Bell, and David Tennant, are the new comers. However, looking at the third poster (The Riddler), you can tell the photograph looks a bit fake, almost like it's a painting or hand drawing.

I did some digging and the only stuff I came across involving a third Christopher Nolan Batman flick are early rumors that Johnny Depp was in line to play The Riddler and some other fluff of hiring Cher to play Catwoman(?!) and possibly getting Philip Seymour Hoffman to play The Penguin. Now, I know for a fact that The Penguin will not arrive in a Batman movie as long as Christopher Nolan is helming. Nolan stated in an early Dark Knight interview, when asked which villains he would like to bring to the big screen, that he definitely wouldn't put The Penguin in because he think's it's a stupid and ridiculous character (not his exact words). As for the the rumor of Cher playing Catwoman, I think it's a little far-fetched and a bit of a crazy idea. But who knows? At first, I didn't think Heath Ledger was right for the role of The Joker, but as filming went on and I saw more and more of his persona, I fell in love with his version. I guess only time will tell on whether these posters are legit or not.

Until next time, I'll be seeing you...at the movies.
