Are you ready for the The Dark Knight to rise?

Christopher Nolan has revealed the title for the third installment in his Batman series. Slated for a summer 2012 release, it will be called The Dark Knight Rises. The director has also revealed one more tidbit about the wildly-anticipated film: The Riddler will NOT be the villain.

“We’ll use many of the same characters as we have all along, and we’ll be introducing some new ones,” Nolan said of the script.

The Dark Knight is considered one of the best movies in the history of Hollywood. It earned Heath Ledger a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of The Joker. What do you think of the title for the follow-up?
