Alex Proyas is surely the man to take over the Batman franchise when Nolan eventually leaves.
I love Dark City (I was lucky enough to see it in the theater). However, the whole The Matrix borrowed from Dark City is nonsense as the script for The Matrix was around LONG before Dark City went into porduction (BTW, I don't know if you are stating this or not, but there have been about a dozen threads over the years stating as such and it just isn't true - The script for The Matrix was written even before Bound was made and Bound served as the Wachowski's "proving ground" that they should be allowed to make The Matrix).
