According to Entertainment Weekly, the still untitled film will be released on July 20, 2012.
Few of details are available about the planned sequel other than the fact that director Christopher Nolan and writer David Goyer will return.
Nolan's more realistic take on the Batman mythos has insiders speculating that villains such as Mr Freeze, Killer Croc and Clayface will not be in the movie, though insiders are hoping The Riddler will make an appearance.
The release date was announced almost two years after The Dark Knight set box office records.
