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

[King K]

Thank goodness Nolan is back. Can't wait to see the infamous Vest back in action doing all the 2nd hand directing.

3D. IMAX. Viral marketing. Riddler. MAKE IT HAPPEN!

 

[Nirvana]

Amazing news for Bats and Supes.

 

[TheFuture]

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

No, what he did was use Batman's most compelling elements and effectively translate them to the big screen. That's what he'll help a director do with Superman.

Screw 3D. I want the whole movie shot in IMAX, but it is a huge challenge because of how loud the cameras are. Nolan likes recording dialogue on the set. IMAX cameras make that darn near impossible.

Exactly!

I wish some of the whiners and complainers would recognize and realize Chris Nolan is a smart man.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Other than the huge editing mistake in that scene right?

Whaaaa?

Exactly!

Agreed. Although I would lose a tiny bit of faith in him if during his help with the Superman film he decides or agrees with having Lex Luthor return.

I haven't read through the last few pages but after that report were they assumed Nolan is in fact coming back, has there been anything new released like a direct quote and confirmation from Nolan himself?

I don't care how trusted the source who broke the news is, until I hear it straight from the horses mouth I'm not yet going to get excited.

 

[CConn]

I never would've guessed that Nolan would be back!

 

[Brother Jack]

I have faith that if anyone can break the trilogy curse for comic book films, and if anyone can give a movie like TDK a proper followup, it's Christopher Nolan.

As far as TDK goes I think he is the one who could. It's very much Nolan's film, despite being attached to a huge corporate label like Batman. If the studio were to give the sequel to someone else it would have undoubtedly been a disappointment.

 

[Dark Knight]

"You combine these four solo ventures with Green Lantern already flying into production and the newly formed DC Entertainment looks like they have an actual slate on their hands. To recap; Jonah Nolan has turned in a 1st draft on "Batman 3", WB has a Superman script they are happy with, and an announcement is around the corner on "Wonder Woman" and "Flash" with additional info for "Superman" and "Batman 3"."





^^^^^
Finally....someone over at WB and DCE has got there heads out of their collective arses! LOL

Great to hear that after post for Inception, Chris Nolan will be involved with Bats 3 and with the production of Supes 3.0 as his next projects and nothing else.

Had a feeling Nolan may wind up as an Exec Producer for the Supes film. The big question is who wrote the story treatment that WB's likes and would like Nolan to work with and over see the development of?? Hmmm....

I think the directors Nolan will consider to direct Supes 3.0 will be Snyder, McTiegue, Bloonkamp, Lawrence and I'm hoping somehow someway Abrams can be snagged. Doubt it though....but money talks.

Wonder Woman!!!! Be still my beating heart :heart:

But it won't be Whedon's script will it...

I wouldn't have a problem with Luthor being in this movie...as long as he is not presented as a villain. I think he should have a small but pivotal scene where he is presented as Metropolis's version of Bruce Wayne or in other words Metropolis's most richest, powerful and respected man ala John Byrne's version. Set him up for the 2nd or 3rd movie in the series but only as a puppetmaster like Palpatine in the Star Wars prequels.

 

[TheScarecrow]

The New York Times confirms (yet another source) that Nolan is already working on Batman 3.

I'm not even a huge Superman fan but I would throw up in my mouth if Luthor was anywhere in the next Superman film. He's been in every film, let him go away for a film or two. I don't even think they should set him up for the second. They should have Brainiac then set up the sequel for Darkseid.

 

[Closerframe]

I agree with having Luthor in the film to some degree. The guy is like the Joker for Superman, but with Nolan on board, I can see this film being more along the lines of Batman Begins with a great "main" villain, and some other smaller villains. So basically Brainiac as the main villain, and Luthor being like Carmine Falcone.

 

[Christopher Nolan]

i want a official statement regarding batman 3

Don't we all?

 

[Nightmare]

Whoooo Nolan is back!!!!!

 

[Mr.?]

I'll bet Nolan doesn't use the Riddler, we are all expecting that to happen its way too obvious.

 

[TheBatman072]

I'll bet Nolan doesn't use the Riddler, we are all expecting that to happen its way too obvious.

But Riddler is very much his style.

Cerebral. Real world. even more so than the Joker.

Also, we were all expecting him to use Joker after Begins, look how that turned out.

Brainiac should be a given in Supes 3.0. A big key for the next Supes film to be successfull is to show the audience a Supes film that hasn't been seen before in any previous Superman film and that starts with seeing villains like Brainiac, Metallo, Darkseid or Doomsday. Maybe even see the Eradicator?

Of course we should finally see corporate Lex and LexCorp in Supes 3.0 also, but not as the main baddie.

It's not like there was a blatant cliffhanger in Batman Begins or anything. Oh wait...

No ****.

We still expected him to use Joker. He could have very well NOT used Joker. Regardless of "cliffhanger."

 

[redfirebird2008]

The point is TDK did not have a cliffhanger that pointed to a specific villain. If anything, the villain that TDK points to is GCPD since Batman will now be hunted by them.

I'd hardly call BB ending a cliffhanger, it was more like a tease.
