Batman 3 set for July 20, 2012!

After months of speculation, Christopher Nolan will follow up his super secretive science-fiction extravaganza Inception with the highly anticipated third film in his Batman series.

The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog confirmed that Batman 3 will hit theaters on July 20, 2012.

Though the studio has barely begun the process of developing the movie (as Nolan is still in post-production on Inception), the director is hammering out a story with co-writer David Goyer.

There is no title or start date at this point.
