My scooper has told me that Warner has officially given Nolan a "deal" to make Batman 3, and new reports from Variety confirms it. Whether Nolan will take it is another story completely, though, as last time, he did make another movie in between.
However, Nolan would be hard pressed not to take the deal, as Bale is already asking him to return, though the huge challenge of topping The Dark Knight might be daunting. I'm confident, however, that if anyone could do it, it's Chris-Fracking Nolan.
Oh, and so you have a bit a proof that I'm not making things up (I always wait until I can prove my claims) IGN: Nolan Mulling Batman 3 |

Trust Warner Bros. to invite Nolan to come back as Executive Producer so that they can have Joel Schoemaker make a more family friendly, toy selling version. History does love to repeat itself.

I'm guessing he'll punch out after three, though. Its been a nice run so far. | |

TDK alone raked in $500 mil., as well as the #2 spot all time. I think he deserves a healthy reward, and he'll get it.
Whatever happens tho, a third movie will never reach the numbers of TDK. Much of TDK's success came from the Ledger situation as a lot of people saw the movie for that reason alone, being his last.
The only way I see a third movie making anything even remotely close to the second is by casting someone like Johnny Depp. Depp's stock is as high as anyone in Hollywood right now and could defiantly see his quirkiness fitting perfectly into a villain in the Batman Universe.
From a financial standpoint and that's what it's all about these days, Depp would probably be the biggest draw that they could come up with, as even the "Teeny Bopper Girls" who have no interest in Batman would see it. | |

Sorta like "Law and Order"... in a cape. That would be sweet

As long as Bale, Caine, & Freeman are still interested, they'd be stupid not to use them. | |

I honestly don't think Oldman would either though. | |
