Comic Con 2009: Gary Oldman Says ‘Batman 3’ Expected to Begin Filming in 2010

Small bit of news year, but at the Comic Con panel for The Book of Eli starring Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman, Oldman was asked about Batman 3 and replied saying:

“I think the next Batman is next year. We start shooting next year for a release in two years. You didn’t hear that from me.”

He said it with some serious conviction, but it seems a strange way to get the word out. Who knows if there will be an official confirmation later on, but I will have the video of the exact quote in my Warner Bros. panel wrap-up later tonight.
