" Yesterday's Cryptoquip: IF SOMEONE IMMERSES HIMSELF IN SALT OR BRINE, PERHAPS HE BELIEVES IN SELF-PRESERVATION. Today's Cryptoquip Clue: R equals O All puzzles © King Features Batman director announces title of trilogy film LOS ANGELES- FILM Christopher Nolan's third Batman film will be called "The Dark Knight Rises" and though the Gotham City auteur isn't ready to reveal the villain of his 2012 film, he did eliminate one of the big contenders: "It won't be the Riddler," Nolan said in an exclusive interview. Nolan was most eager to talk about the fact that Warner Bros. had agreed with his argument that the film should resist the current 3-D craze and instead use high-definition approaches and IMAX cameras to strike out on a different cinematic path than the stereoscopic technology that, for better or worse, has become the dominant conversation in the blockbuster sector. As for the title, it shows the writer-director's intention to keep his Bruce Wayne trilogy tightly stitched together. What if Nolan somehow brings back Harvey Dent? The only reason I even mention it is because, back during postproduction on the second film, Nolan told me that the title "The Dark Knight" was just as much about Dent and his fall from the status of shining-knight civic crusader. Dent was plainly dead at the end of the last film, though, and Nolan has been intent on keeping his Gotham City film firmly rooted in a gitty, gangland realism — this isn't a franchise that has veered off into the supernatural or even much super-science. As with "Dark Knight," the new film has a script written by Nolan and his brother, Jonah, and it's based on a story by the director and David Goyer. — McClatchy-Tribune BigSkiTrip.com
