The pieces of the Batman puzzle are finally starting to come together.

Today, we learned several new tidbits about the franchise’s next installment – which, from this point on, we will officially call The Dark Knight Rises.

Although we do already know that Tom Hardy will be joining the Christopher Nolan project, it’s been unclear which character he will play. We can now say with certainty which role he won’t be playing: the Riddler.

In an interview with Hero Complex, Nolan said the villain played Jim Carrey in 1995 would not be included in this feature. Unfortunately, he didn’t drop any other hints about Batman’s future nemesis.

Christopher did, though, disclose news on the technology front. Nolan, who has openly discussed his feelings about 3D, said the movie will not require use of those annoying glasses. The film will instead be shot with IMAX cameras like sections of The Dark Knight were.
