Yesterday, we ran rumour control on a report from Deadline Hollywood that David S Goyer could be about to scribble ideas for his third Batman flick.
What a difference a day makes. Now Deadline ’s Nikki Finke is reporting that Christopher Nolan has officially signed up to direct the next Batman outing.
Still, looks like the WB are desperate to get this right, recruiting their favourite blockbusting director to steer the franchise to financial and critical success.
Nolan isn’t expected to direct the next Supes flick, but with Bryan Singer occupied over at X-Men: First Class , we wouldn’t count him in, either. Could one of Nolan’s film buddies take the reins instead?
Back to Batman , and Nolan and co will have to work extra hard to escape the threequel curse that blights many a successful franchise. Can he do it? If anybody can, Nolan can.
Think the real Superman here is Nolan? Chuck us some comments below...
