The mega-successful and critically acclaimed Dark Knight had hardly hit theaters last year and already there was high anticipation (at least in the geek/online movie circles) for Batman 3.

Batman 3 Plans to be Made Early 2010?
Tuesday, November 17, 2009 3:16 AM | From Worst Previews
Gary Oldman revealed during Comic-Con that the third "Batman" movie will begin filming in 2010. Michael Caine, however, recently made a statement that fans won't see the new film for quite a while, if ever.
In 1994, "Alien" concept designer HR Giger was hired to design a new Batmobile for "Batman Forever," that saw Val Kilmer don the Batsuit to battle The Riddler (Jim Carrey) and Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones).
What IF Willem Dafoe Had Been Batman
Thursday, October 29, 2009 8:07 AM | From Latino Review
I just came across something that would have made for a very different "Batman" movie back in 1989: According to the actor himself, none other than Willem Dafoe was approached to be the Bat for Tim Burton."Very early, they talked to me about playing Batman," Dafoe told MTV News."I hate to spread these things because unless you remember it well, you're stoking the fires of bulls---," said the actor. "But I remember [it]. I've had my brush with these things."Man, I love Dafoe and all, but I cannot see him as Batman. He would've have made a good Joker, yes...an even better, more menacing Joker than Nicholson's take at the time, but he doesn't exactly have suave, good-looking billionaire going for him. Not that Michael Keaton was a good Bruce Wayne either, but that has as much to do with the way the character was written back then as with Keaton's appearance and portrayal.You know what else is funny? I can name you at least three people who I think would've been a better Batman/Bruce Wayne circa 1988 or whenever Keaton was cast (Mel Gibson, Kurt Russel, Jason Patric) but I couldn't name you one other actor working right now who I think would be better than Christian Bale. That's just perfect casting right there. What do you guys think?Source: MTV
Willem Dafoe's (Spider-Man) IMDB page says that the actor was once considered to play The Joker in Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman" film. To get the facts, MTV News sat down with Dafoe and asked him if there is any truth to that.
EXCLUSIVE: Willem Dafoe As Batman? It Almost Happened!
Before "The Dark Knight," many fans wondered how Jack Nicholson's portrayal of the Joker in Tim Burton's "Batman" could ever be topped, least of all by the seemingly unnatural choice of Heath Ledger. But if you believe one certain rumor, Nicholson almost lost the part to another actornone other than Willem Dafoe.

The CollegeHumor guys are at it again, this time focusing on Batman and his disappearing act. We've seen it many times... Batman is having a chat with Jim Gordon and then suddenly vanishes, leaving Gordon in the middle of his sentence.
Ninja Stealth Classes Didnt Pay Off for The Dark Knight
He spent all that time training in the mountains with Liam Neeson and what does Batman have to show for it? Just a larynx full of gravel, apparently. CollegeHumor released a video today showing that Batman’s ability to disappear while other people are talking still needs some work. The sketch also features one of the [...]

Batman is one of the greatest superheros of all time for the fact that he is just a man with no super special abilities. He is just a guy that has a very active imagination, and knows how to kick some major ass.
Here is a fantastic collection of Batman art that comes from various artists. [...]
