Nolan Is Directing Batman 3; Filming Starts?
Posted by Franciscoon 30. 09. 2010in News Chat
Everyone had assumed this for a very long time. Christopher Nolan, hot off his excellent Inception, has officially confirmed that he, in deed, will be helming the highly anticipated sequel to The Dark Knight. Now, it’s a matter of time until we get more information on the plot and the casting process. Oh, and when does it begin to film? Apparently, Michael Caine knows…
IGN reports:
Nolan spoke with Empire Online today, who asked the Inception and Dark Knight helmer if it was safe to assume that he’s directing Batman 3. “I think you can at this point, yes,” he replied.
Nolan also said, “It’s becoming inevitable, I’ll put it that way. … I feel myself falling into it, I guess. And getting it all figured out and I’m pretty excited about what we’re doing so… If I haven’t announced it, I think that people probably all know at this point that I’m doing it.”
In other Bat-news, Coming Soon points out that Alfred Pennyworth himself, Sir Michael Caine, appeared on The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 Wednesday, where he advised them that Batman 3 will probably begin filming next May and that he assumes he’ll once again be a part of the cast.
This is great news. Although it was expected all along, it’s good to see Nolan getting excited with his own material. He seems to be getting back into creative/directing form after his vacation and Inception tidal wave. With Superman and Batman on his table, who wouldn’t get excited right? I expect awesome things from Nolan for both franchises. But I would be lying if I didn’t tell you guys that I’m more intrigued about how Superman, under his spectrum, would end up like. Plus, filming starts on May? Bringing it on. Let’s get this cracking, I’m pumped up!
What about you guys? You looking forward to Batman 3? Nolan’s Superman version?

I’m interested in Nolan’s Superman, but not excited. Superman just doesn’t seem like the kind of story that can be pulled off with live action actors, it’s too unrealistic.
But who knows, maybe Nolan can do it.
Nolan not directing Superman btw. Just being producer and also godfathered the story. SO it remain wait and see things. Still i have this believe the story will be great in Nolan watch
But a gut dressed as a Bat is cool?
exibit A & B: Donners’ Superman and Superman 2
Kind of a no brainer. You knew he was going to direct it from the get go. Superman is another story. I am kinda hoping he directs it.
Chris Nolan is the ruler of the DC Comics universe.
What I’m waiting for is a Batman-Superman crossover. Nolan has control of both projects so why not. Maybe they can start a Justice League by giving all the main characters movies like marvel is doing with the Avengers.
Superman is a super-hero, Batman is not.
Why can’t Nolan bring some realism to Supes the same as he has done/will do with the Batman?
I’d like the crossover to be along the lines of an aging Superman needing Batman’s help as Supes deals with his weakend state. i.e his strenght and powers aren’t as they once were, therefore he needs an allie with less favourable morals to fight the good fight.
So, we’ve gotten confirmation on something that we assumed had a 99.99% chance of happening anyway?
