From the Los Angles Times Blog, Christopher Nolan updates us on DC comics two flagship titles: Superman and Batman. As previously rumoured, Nolan now confirms his involvement with the Man of Steel. Some highlights from the article includes:
- Nolan has a “fantastic story” and they feel that they can do it right.
- Batman and Superman will exists in their own separate world. From the article: “A lot of people have approached Superman in a lot of different ways. I only know the way that has worked for us that’s what I know how to do,” Nolan said, emphasizing the idea that Batman exists in a world where he is the only superhero and a similar approach to the Man of Steel would assure the integrity needed for the film. “Each serves to the internal logic of the story. They have nothing to do with each other.””
- David Goyer, previous collaborator of the Batman films with Nolan, is writing the Superman movie.
- No director as of yet. Nolan will serve as a mentor to the Superman film
- Regarding Batman. From the article: “And that third Batman film? Jonathan Nolan is “now doing the hard work” of writing the script based on the story by his sibling and Goyer. “My brother is writing a script for me and we’ll wait to see how it turns out…. He’s struggling to put it together into the epic story that you want it to be.”’
- He won’t have Mr. Freeze as a villain. Sorry Arnold. You’re out.
