Charles Roven: "Christopher Nolan's Batman is Done"

[RajWatts]

BATMAN-ON-FILM.COM - Roven: Nolan's Batman is Done (6.15.13)

According to producer Charles Roven (via MTV), who served as a producer on all three of Nolan's Batman films and Zack Snyder's MAN OF STEEL, "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" was the end of not only Nolan's Batman story, but the end of that story PERIOD. Here's what Roven has to say when asked if the Batman from "The Dark Knight Trilogy" exists in the new MAN OF STEEL universe.

"No. No, the Chris Nolan universe ended, as far as Chris directing [another Batman film] I know for sure, with "The Dark Knight Trilogy."

Again, that's a very, VERY good thing. Batman on film MUST be rebooted so the character can not only exist alongside other "superheroes," but future solo endeavors will not be beholden to the Nolanverse and can offer up something new and fresh.

So, will a new cinematic Batman show up in the future? Here's what Roven had to say about that:

"When Zack came in, it was important to him that whatever the world was that we were building here, it allow for the possibility. We didn't want to create a universe where that wasn't possible. We wanted to create a universe where that might be possible."

Not really news, Nolan himself has said that his Batman would not exist in the MoS universe.

I enjoyed Nolan's vision but I want to see another director do Batman.

Nah fukk that, I'm not as big a fan of Batman Begins as most on here are. I'm not tryin to sit through another boring ass, drawn out story about how he became Batman.































I'll watch it but I don't have to be happy about it

I am so sick of origin films...don't insult me...we KNOW where these guys got their powers and if not, just make it a footnote in the movie like in Superman Returns.

SMH @ the eventual "SPECTACULAR Spiderman" reboot in 2021 where we watch spiderman in a science lab for 20 minutes and watch him learn how to webswing AGAIN for 30 minutes

 

[Just like bruddas]

long as they up the combat scenes and truly show how smart batman is. Lets be real for a sec. The smarts of the villains is what made nolan's batman so great. Joker and Bane, while batman was kinda mediocre. Joker and Bane got more shine in my opinion.


I wanna see a batman with the same smarts and prep time as the comics and cartoons.
