Sure we knew there was a set release date, we knew that he was working on teh script with brother Jonathan, and we assumed it was a foregone conclusion that Nolan would eventually get back in the Bat saddle. But then word that WB had yet to officially greenlight the project and rumors of the studio forcing Nolan's hand on 3D caused a bit of worry.
But now the notoriously tight lipped director has finally just come out and said it!.
From Empire..
"I don’t know if it’s announced or if it’s not announced," said Nolan. "It’s becoming inevitable, I’ll put it that way. I feel myself falling into it, I guess. And getting it all figured out and I’m pretty excited about what we’re doing so… If I haven’t announced it, I think that people probably all know at this point that I’m doing it."
Hang on, that's not 100% clear: so we can safely assume you're directing?
"I think you can at this point, yes."
Well thank God for that! When Empire pressed on what
"getting it all figured out" might mean Nolan revealed that he and Jonathan were at work on the script and it was slowly taking shape.
