Michael Caine, who played Alfred the butler in Batman Begins, recently let the title of the next Batman film -- or what he thinks is the title -- slip during an interview with Turner Classic Movies. While talking about director Christopher Nolan, Caine said:"I wanted to work with him and then Christopher Nolan who directed Batman [Begins] is doing a smaller film called The Prestige about magicians and it's very interesting. And we're going to make The Joker next year."
It's hard to say if that's just a working title or an off-the-cuff nickname for the Batman sequel, but I'm kind of hoping they stick with it. Not including the word 'Batman' in the title of a Batman movie is a bold move, but you can't escape the badass factor it lends the movie. And Nolan's already overhauled the entire Batman landscape -- why not keep taking risks?
I'm all for it. What do you think?
EDIT: New word is that the Batman sequel will be called The Dark Knight.
