The Dark Knight Sequel has a Release Date!!!!

After what has seemed like a lifetime, Warner Bros. has finally announced a release date for the third film in Christopher Nolan's Batman series. After Chris Nolan took to making Inception, I was worried that that would be the end for the beloved franchise. Usually with a film that makes as much money as The Dark Knight did, they greenlight a sequel almost immediately.

Reasons for the wait could be Nolan trying to figure out a direction to go in after his main villain was killed off (in real life that is), or that he just wanted to do something else at that time. Either way, things now seem like they're coming a lot quicker, with the film set for release on July 20th, 2012. Are you as excited that the film is finally on its way as I am? Do you wish it would come sooner? Please comment below!
