A community portal about Batman with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Batman is a DC Comics fictional superhero who first appeared in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. He has since become, along with Superman and Spider-Man, one of the world's most recognized superheroes. Batman was co-created by artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, although only Kane receives official credit for the character. Batman's secret identity is Bruce Wayne, a billionaire industrialist, playboy, and philanthropist. Witnessing the murder of his parents as a child leads him to train himself to the peak of physical and intellectual perfection, don a bat -themed costume, and fight crime. Unlike most superheroes, he does not possess superhuman powers or abilities; he makes use of intellect, detective skills, science and technology, wealth, physical prowess, and intimidation in his war on crime.
A Third Batman Film Left Up to Christopher Nolan
When last we updated this saga, Warner chief Alan Horn said, more or less, that the ball is in Nolan's court. Certainly the studio wants to keep the franchise going after the staggering success of The Dark Knight, and as a demonstration of their gratitude to Nolan and their faith in his vision, they're probably prepared to sign him to the most lucrative contract ever for a director. That's my belief, anyway.
Today, in a great Hollywood Reporter article that traces the growth of The Dark Knight back three years, producer Charles Roven is echoing Horn's stance that the right of first refusal belongs to Christopher Nolan.
"There are a lot of us who emotionally would love to do it," Roven says. "But it's really Chris' call. Chris is the kind of filmmaker who just doesn't think about the next movie before he has completely finished the movie he is working on."When will we find out? Sometime after Nolan returns from his extended holiday. "When he comes back, we will see how he feels," Roven insists.
