So now there is a huge rumor that before Batman 3 , they will do "THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS" story from Frank Miller.

The internet is a buzz with the following posters finding their way around different forums convienently after the Dark Knight opening weekend.




Remember in I AM LEGEND there was a reference to Batman/Superman movie in Times Square:



The release date for the film is apparently 15 May 2010, although despite fanboy speculation that the image might be a viral marketing play for a long-awaited Gotham-Metropolis hook-up, Moran reckons it's "just a sight gag from producer Akiva Goldsman who was at one involved in the Superman/Batman movie project which has been stuck in development hell for some years now".

Both Christian Bale and Brandon Routh have both said publically that there was a clause in thier contract about a supes vs b-man movie… and considering this movie takes place in 2010
With the passing of Heath and the Batman 3 script not even in development, and with the future of the franchise unknown, now would be a perfect time to do a Batman/Superman movie to take the focus off of Batman. They could do a storyline involving why Batman disappeared , etc.

Its probably all talk and speculation, but i thought it was cool
