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

[Mr. Earle]

Everyone is worried about the realism angle so there has been a big enough ****storm for DC/WB to notice. Even if Nolan is going to force them towards a realism angle, i think all this will make them think twice. Besides, Marvel is showing the way with movies like Ironman, Thor and Cap who are true to their source material if that says something.

But i do think that Crook is right. At least i hope so.

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.

What are you talking about?

 

[Mr. Earle]

That DC will see the reactions towards these news. "Everyone is excited about Nolan but they re afraid he'll give Superman a jetpack because flying is unrealistic. Lets not let him do that even he wants to."

...you are hilarious.

You must be reading a different board than I am.

And have you seen the trailer for Inception?

I DARE you to look me right in the face and say any of that is realistic.

Same goes for Prestige too.

 

[BatMatt]

Nolan uses realism in Batman's world, but that by no means does that mean he will in Superman's. For one, it's saying he's only suppose to mentor, so I'd say the director will still have the final say on set design, story, act. Nolan would probably mentor the narrative, and making sure the appropriate creative team is in place. Need proof Nolan will go outside the grounds of reality? In INCEPTION a city folds on itself

 

[redfirebird2008]

Same goes for Memento too.

Memento is a realistic portrayal of that memory condition. Now, the people taking advantage of him and so forth is arguably not realistic.

Whup, my bad I meant Prestige.

 

[redfirebird2008]

In INCEPTION a city folds on itself

Isn't that likely happening in a character's mind?

 

[TheBatman072]

Isn't that likely happening in a character's mind?

Yes.

But the point is that what's happening on screen isn't realistic. But grounded in a type of realism.

It's fantastic with a realistic coat on.

Nolan's own words "Realistic Fantasy."

Yes.

But if it's not part of the reality of the characters, then it's not a very good example for his filmmaking style. There is a ton of over the top stuff in his Batman movies, never mind anything that goes on during dreams for the characters of Inception.

 

[The Joker]

Isn't that likely happening in a character's mind?

Wouldn't matter if it was. It's still a fantasy. For example, it's implied Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz dreamed it all, but it's still very much a fantasy movie.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I can see Superman as a mental patient who believes he is a superhero. A bit like the Smallville episode,Labyrinth,lol.

I don't know if that is the best comparison given that the Oz "dream" is practically the entire movie whereas Inception appears to be constantly weaving in and out of "reality" and "dreamland." I see where you are coming from, but I think they are quite a bit different. The audience will be constantly reminded throughout Inception of the dream aspect.

It really seems people here only think about Nolan's Batman movies and nothing else. >_> Not to mention why would Nolan drastically change Superman? He didn't do this with Batman. Only on the Joker with the perma-white and the Ras' immortality is left for the audiance to decide.

Someone brought this up on the Superman boards and said that Nolan will change the suit. I really do think that if this happens, there will be an even bigger fanboy poutrage than there was when he got rid of the permawhite Joker. SHH's servers will be melted for days.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Nolan is only an adviser. I think if he suggested realism for Superman ,he would be told to **** off,lol.

Eh i don't know. Theres a differnce between a man who needs protection and an alien who has alien clothing.

If he drastically changes Superman's costume I guarantee you all hell will break loose around here.

 

[Bathead]

The only thing I would ask of Nolan as regards Superman is that he PLEASE get a villain other than Luthor. Brainiac would be a welcome change

Oh believe me i'd rage like hell too, but i'm just saying i don't see any logic in changing it outside some visual designs or something weird. =S

Which is exactly the reason why a decent Superman film cannot be made. Batman fans can cause uproar, but we're generally pretty easy going. Nolan has made multiple changes and, in general, we've just gone with the flow.

Superman fans whinge about Superman Returns - but what the hell sort of movie did they expect WB to change? They wanted a "reboot" - but would have exploded if the new movie redid the origins. They wanted a modern Superman, but whinged for MONTHS (make that years) because the hues on Singer's costume we're ever so slightly different to that of the comics, the symbol was a fraction smaller and was - OMG...RAISED! Not to mention the \S/ symbols on the boots...seriously, I don't know how they survived it.

They're still whinging about the same thing - including wanting a 'reboot' without changing the music, the lead actor, keeping the classic costume, origin, etc. It's just a little bit sad.

LMAO...Batman fans are probably the most uptight of all. t: Want me to post some links to Rotten Tomatoes with all the death threats against critics who dared to post negative reviews of The Dark Knight?

 

[firstclassclown]

they're schemers. Like the government they keep secrets, a.k.a. technology, and disperse it to the public out of date and in small doses.
They are much further into 3atman than they will let on. Best way to get an even larger audience for the next show is to build the "hype" even stronger than before.
You think that the reason to bring on Nolan for Superman is because, not only would it be epic but, the villain in 3atman will be too difficult for just the Winged Avenger to handle?
After 3atman and Superman "Begins" have been made...
A Batman/Superman movie. Entirely in IMAX???

Guess who?

Eh i don't know. Theres a differnce between a man who needs protection and an alien who has alien clothing.

But Superman's suit is very cheesy by real life standards. I hope they dont replace it with a serious one.

Count me in!
