It's been a while since we've had any crazy Batman 3 rumors. There hasn't been any official word on the next movie. I often get pm's asking if I know what villains are going to be in, etc. We don't even know when it will be released, let alone go into production.
The first rumor comes courtesy of Ain't It Cool News. There's some rumblings that Christopher Nolan will film the next Batman movie entirely in IMAX. Filming in IMAX (actually IMAX Digital) has its limitations. That's what makes this a rumor. There's a bunch of technical reasons that brings this into question. Even AICN questions the logistics of this possibility. Basically the IMAX cameras are heavier and normal camera equipment can't hold them. There is also a limit of two and a half minutes that can be shot with the camera. Slash Film dug up a round table interview that Nolan did for The Dark Knight and he addresses the load times. He said that the cameras could be switched when one runs out. Usually you don't film more than ten seconds of action sequences at one time. It's the dialogue scenes that would be a problem.
The second rumor...well, let's just say it comes from the UK's gossip newspaper The Sun. You might be aware of their track record. The only reason I'm posting this bit is because it's hilarious. They claim that a certain actress has already signed up for Catwoman. Catwoman seems a likely character to appear in the next film. The way they present the story is that it's already a done deal. Not the usual '_____ actor is in talks to play ____.' Who is the actress they claim has landed the role? Have you guessed yet? It's one that will make you either laugh or cringe. Are you ready? Megan Fox. (Check out the mock up image they provided):
