The Dark Knight Rises Christopher Nolan Is Doing Batman 3!!!

[Franklin Richards]

Whta about Hugh Jackman's multiples?

Plot hole.


I know there are a few fantastic elements in some of his movies. But I don't think he has the respect for comic book heroes as much as we do. He thinks he's an artist and the only way to bring these lowly comic book heroes up to his level is to make them "real".


These are all just speculations of course. I just don't think he's a good fit. Hell, he didn't want anything to do with the DC Universe outside of Batman because Superman was to fantastic.

I think my concerns are legitimate.

And what about the upcoming Inception? It seems you're presuming no matter what. Nolan would treat Superman the same way as Batman, but now you presume instead of being comic loyal. He'd change the character alot.

 

[Franklin Richards]

So you are presuming that the Superman movie would be as hyperealistic as the Batman one? Are you forgetting the sci-fi alike stuff Nolan does on his non-Batman movies? Such as Prestige and the upcoming Inception? Just because he did Batman in a hyperrealistic way doesn't mean this is going to happen with Supes.

So yeah you seemed either trolling or just not aware of Nolan's Non-Batman movies. >_>

Read my above statement.


And why don't you dial it back a bit? You Batfans are the worst at listening to counter opinions. It's not necessary to break out the pitchforks when someone doesn't like everything about your precious Nolan.

WB recognized a top talent and is running with it which is one of the smartest moves they have made imo.

I think this means you will see him involved in more Batman movies than we all thought.

He changed Batman. Why wouldn't he change Superman?

Wait what? How did Batman get changed?

 

[TheBatman072]

So much for enjoying this news.

 

[batman_gr]

Yeah! How did he change Batman? If you mean that he went from bat-niples and cheesy lines (I'll never forget the Bat-card) to serious detective plot well I'm sorry but you're wrong.

I respect your disapproval of Nolan but you have to give to him a director. He can adjust his style in every story.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Going to ignore any trolling/ overly negative reactions from spiteful people...

While its not the OFFICIAL official announcement that I have been waiting for, it's still another step in the right direction for Chris doing Batman 3.

I wont be comeplety satisfied till I hear Chris say it himself but YAYYY! t:t:t:

And obviously great news for the Superman franchise as well...

 

[Team Andino]

I'm REALLY getting my hopes up this is legit an if it is this day thus far has already made 2010 awesome

Nolan's one of the very few comic book directors who can sit down and name the comic writers, artists and even particular issues which have influenced his films. He's done research from 1939-2009 on Batman comics, consulted with people of various people involved in comics on different levels - and even the creators of characters he has used. How the hell can you say he has no respect for comics?

 

[WolfCypher]

Incredible read (although that bit of info on DC losing the remaining rights to Superman was news to me...and left me feeling depressed). If anyone would have told me Nolan would have some guiding hand in a new Superman movie, I wouldn't have believed them. I kinda hope in the end Nolan plays a larger role in the handling of the film than Warner Bros. claims he will. I'm a little more excited for a new Superman movie now. Can't wait to see who else gets on board.

It's pretty easy. Just watch Batman Begins.


Of course he did his homework. He's getting paid millions of dollars.


Lemme ask you somethin'. When will we see Robin?

Let's stop fighting before this turns into a flame war. I'll briefly reiterate what I said previously. His realistic vision for Batman simply fits by virtue of the character. Could it get more fantasy-oriented? Absolutely. But not one fan can deny there's certainly a huge sub-section of the mythos that is purely on the gritty and realism oriented level. Nolan simply went in that particular direction.

Nolan was highly influenced by the sci-fi genre as a kid, and that's what turned him to Hollywood. Inception is a glimpse into what he can do with full reigns on a project not bound by realism. If the man is overseeing Superman, I'm fully assured he knows the type of baggage that character is bringing. I'm sure the average joe knows the fundamental differences between Bats and Supes.

Now...moving onto Batman 3. Finally, is all I can say. I think it's interesting that this time around, Nolan has crafted the story and outline himself. Previously it was David and Jonah. Makes me wonder what villain(s) we should expect since this is from his mind. I'd imagine it would be a lot different if David/Jonah were the ones that spearheaded the story.

Screw Robin. Give me Catwoman! C'mon, Catwoman!

Seriously, though, you'll gonna get the tried-and-true, tired-and-tired "Robin wouldn't work in Nolan's Batverse" answer, so...lets try for Catwoman, huh?

Yes and? You're alone in this.

If he wishes to do Batman's 3rd year as Batman and Introduce Dick, then he will. If Batman 3 continues where TDK ended immediatly. We're still in Year two.

Ok. When we'll we see Krypto?

Yes I know Robin's part in the Bat-world but there's supposed to be a year or so between Batman's begining and Robin. So, I imagine this trilogy is like a year one story.

I'm with ya.


I'm curious if it will be my favorite Batman villain of all time.


Riddler.


I'd love to see a realistic version of him. A movie where we don't even know who he is until the end of the flick. Nolan would be a perfect fit for that script.

And just as he did his homework with Batman, he will with Superman.

 

[ross2287]

Nolan is a smart man. He knows what worked best for Batman and what will work best for Superman. And just because something worked for Batman does not mean it will work for Superman. I have faith.

I agree and like I said over in the Superman boards, I'm optimistic but I'm going to wait until I see Inception to pass final judgment.

 

[weezerspider]

While Nolan completes that Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer for a July 16th release, he's also hatched an idea for Warner Bros' third Batman installment. Now his brother and frequent collaborator Jonah Nolan, and David Goyer who co-wrote Batman Begins and penned the story for The Dark Knight, are off scripting it.

I had the same reaction. I need a clean pair of pants...

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

awesome frickin' news!!! t:

with just a few days ago the announcement of Jonah and Goyer writing up Batman 3, and now the confirmation of Chris Nolan coming back to direct; i think it's a pretty safe bet to say that the rest of 2010 will be story/script mode for Batman 3

with 2011 having everything go full speed and filming to begin to have the film out by 2012

can't wait

and it's great to see that WB are taking a safe approach to a new Superman film

i wonder if Chris Nolan would go on as a potential producer for the new Superman flick

 

[TheScarecrow]

I agree and like I said over in the Superman boards, I'm optimistic but I'm going to wait until I see Inception to pass final judgment.

He's not directing Superman. He'll be an advisor (and I imagine, eventually, a producer) for the project. He'll just be helping the project find its feet.

This is awesome news... cant wait!

 

[batman_gr]

oh yes ribby! and welcome to the hype!
