Zack Snyder Is Still Adamant He Will Make A "Dark Knight Returns" Movie...One Day!

Snyder had previously mentioned that he would love to do a movie adaptation of TDKR on a couple of separate occasions, and here he is talking about it again! Could this one day be a reality?

Of course Snyder's biggest problem with bringing the tale of an older Batman returning from retirement to take down Harvey Dent, The Joker and a violent gang called “The Mutants", is that the Bat franchise is in the very capable hands of Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale(we hope at any rate!)..But Snyder has a very simple solution. He'll Wait!

“Frank’s ‘Dark Knight’ is a 50-year-old Batman,” explained Snyder, “The reality is that Batman, as a franchise at Warner Brothers, is doing pretty good; people have heard of it.”

“They love that Bat guy. And Heath — amazing,” admitted Snyder. “And Chris is killing it to death.”

Still, Snyder insisted, when he thinks about the movies he really wants to make before he retires, TDKR is top of the list..

“So for me, I’ll probably be in my twilight years directing one movie every now and then — made-for-TV movies and stuff like that,” laughed the 43-year-old filmmaker, imagining a time about two decades from now. “And I then will have a chance, maybe.”

“It will be only 20 years from now, and it’ll be Christian Bale in his 50s,” Snyder said of his dream scenario. “And by then, Chris will be over it and I’ll roll up and be like, ‘Let’s make a ‘Dark Knight’ movie!’”

“A scenario like that is probably the only way I could see it happening,” added Snyder, who is currently hard at work on pre-production of the ass-kicking-girls action flick “Sucker Punch.” “[But Bale] would be tired of it, I’m sure.”
