... one of them.
Not only has Nolan given fans the two best Batman films to date, he’s arguably the most acclaimed director to do a comic book movie (IMHO). Losing his storytelling to hit a release date is for me, simply out of the question.
As expected Warner Bros. has had a backup plan, a shortlist of directors to takeover the Batman franchise if the inevitable happens. Would you put plan B for the Batman franchise in motion now?

Is Christopher Nolan Returning for 'Batman 3'? The Rumor Mill Says No
Cinematical —
... In a piece passed wildly around the net, Batman on Film is reporting that Nolan is very uninterested in returning to Gotham City. The story goes that Heath Ledger's death upset him greatly, and dismantled any and all plans he had for a third installment. The Joker was set to return (is that really a surprise?), and now there's simply no story. While Nolan and David S. Goyer are working on ideas, it's unlikely you'll see anything before 2012 at the earliest, with 2013 being more likely. ...

Industry insiders have suggested that the tragic and unexpected death of Heath Ledger last year took a serious toll on Christopher Nolan, so much so that Nolan "was convinced that The Dark Knight was going to be it for him and Batman on film". The report also suggests that the next Batman film, which was originally going to feature Joker, won't hit the big screen until 2012 at the very earliest. (Source: Batman On Film )
