Recently, Geoff Boucher of L.A. Times' Hero Complex sat down with Christopher Nolan to discuss his plans for the both the upcoming Superman reboot and the highly-anticipated second Batman sequel. Nolan, who is currently in the editing stages for his upcoming sci-fi/thriller Inception, had this to say about his involvement with the Superman franchise:
"[David Goyer] basically told me, 'I have this thought about how you would approach Superman.' I immediately got it, loved it and thought: That is a way of approaching the story I've never seen before that makes it incredibly exciting. I wanted to get Emma and I involved in shepherding the project right away and getting it to the studio and getting it going in an exciting way."
Nolan also gave some indication the direction Warner Bros. may be taking their superhero films. He suggests that, like Christian Bale's Batman, Superman exists in his own world, devoid of other superheroes and that it is unlikely that either world will come together with that of the Justice League in any way.
As far as the third film in Nolan's Bat-verse, the director did not comment on any of the dozens of rumors floating around on the internet, but did mention the direction he planned to take the film.
"Without getting into specifics, the key thing that makes the third film a great possibility for us is that we want to finish our story, and in viewing it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story. We have a great ensemble, that's one of the attractions of doing another film, since we've been having a great time for years."
Although this new information is very telling, we still have not recieved any official announcements from DC Entertainment in regards to their plans for future fims.
