Jonathan Nolan he wrote The dark Knight And The Dark Knight Rises together with his brother Christopher Nolan (after contributing to Batman Begins), but has since focused on small screen projects such as Westworld And Fallout. Christopher has stated on multiple occasions that he is done with Batman, while Christian Bale he has vowed to return only if the director does so. As a result, we have accepted that this trilogy will end in 2012 and be left alone.
However, in a new interview, Jonathan made it clear that he would be willing to return to the world of Batman… even if his brother would need some convincing. “Would be a dream“, he said. “That period represented about 10 years of my life, from when I got the call to work on Batman Begins in 2003 until the making of The Dark Knight Rises in 2012, and it was epic“.
“The chance to work with Christian, Heath, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and the amazing cast of those films“, Nolan continued. “A sort of American icon. So if I had the chance to go back and work on it again – absolutely“. It would certainly be a nice idea, but with DC Studios rebooting the DCU and two Batman franchises – The Batman Of Matt Reeves And The Brave and the Bold Of Andy Muschietti – which will bring Batman back to the big screen, there is probably no room for a revival of any kind for the two Nolans’ franchise.
“Chris was undecided whether to do another one“Jonathan said about how it came about The dark Knight. “I think he didn’t want to be a superhero movie director. He was very proud of ‘Batman Begins,’ but to me it was like we built this amazing sports car and I said, ‘Let’s take it for a spin. Don’t you want to do another one?“.
“We spent an hour telling the origin story, and it’s great, but it’s like, “What more can we do with this?” Can we take the same characters and move into a different genre a little? Can we go from an adventure film to a crime film to a mafia film and bring that feeling in?“.
