This may come as a shock to you, but Christopher Nolan is done with all things Batman. He said time and time again that THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is his final installment in the series. I know it sucks for all the fans out there, especially since Nolan has done such an amazing job with the character. However, it’s time to let Batman take a breather for awhile. He’ll eventually come back to the big screen, and perhaps by then another talented director and screenwriter can take their own franchise to magnificent places.
The break might be short lived if the JUSTICE LEAGUE movie finally gets its shit together. But will Christopher Nolan have an involvement in that superhero team extravaganza? “No, none at all,” Nolan said. “We’re finished with all we’re doing with Batman. This is the end of our take on this character.” So in case you didn’t get the memo the last few times, there it is.
Nolan thinks that the rumors of his possible involvement with the JUSTICE LEAGUE began when everyone found out he was working on MAN OF STEEL. This is only in a producing capacity however. He has said numerous times that he is done with the character of Batman, so obviously that means he can supervise on a different DC character. He also stated that, “he did not intend to get involved with any future solo Batman films when distributor Warner Bros., which owns DC Comics, decides the time is right to launch a new take on the masked vigilante.”
He then ended on this note, “Batman will outlive us all, and our interpretation was ours. Obviously, we consider it definitive and kind of finished. The great thing about Batman is he lives on for future generations to reinterpret, and obviously, Warners will have to decide in the future what they’re going to do with him,” Nolan said. “We’ve had our say on the character.”
