Thank You Christopher Nolan

Nolan frankly is a pretty good one as many others. Reading some of you it seems this work could only be done by him, and now that is gone who knows what misfortune will fall on DC. It is full of good directors and writers (don't forget that the most part of the script is not by Nolan). There were before him and there will be later. He did a great job but we will never know how another director would get in his place. It's like when you see the perfectly cast of a character. "Oh my God he IS spiderman, he IS iron man, I can not even imagine anyone else who can take his place." Then someone takes his place and we all suddenly can imagine it.

as much as i have loved his bat films and im sure i will love tdkr. id much rather him focus on interesting original material than stick with DC making/overseeing comic book properties.

ive never been a huge comic fan but some of these films have got me interested enough to pay attention to them/see nearly all of them but im predominantly a cinema fan and i think nolan ending up as a fiege figure is a waste of his talents as an artist. it works with fiege as he is solely a businessman/producer.
plus ive never liked the idea of superman/batman/wonderwoman in the same universe. they were created separate they should stay separate

You seem to forget that Nolan has stated numerous times that his Batman movies exist in their own world with no other heroes. He has alsk said the exact same thing about the new Superman film. Nolan has absolutely no interest in creating a unified DC film universe.

I really like Nolan's work a lot, but because of that reason, I think Its time for him to move on. He's holding back the unification of DC's films.

@pux

i saw it twice in fact. but it wasnt full of dc superheroes

@pux

i understand they have been teaming up for decades but again they were created as individuals in their own worlds. to me a superhero is someone who stands out amongst the rest. the symbol of good that stands out the most in contrast to the general population and of course in contrast to that of the polar opposite supervillian. in terms of story telling and character its infitnitedly less interesting to see a few heroes existing together and interacting than it is to see them all living in their own parallel universes never meeting.

the cool ideas and awesome fight you get from having batman superman and wonderwoman in the same world/city/room will never be able to match the importance and interest of when each of those heroes exists and the only superpowered force for good in their universe. thats my arguement atleast.

superman is the origin of this and the archetype. as soon as you put him on screen or on the page with wonderwoman it devalues her place as the strongest being on her earth who happens to be a woman in a mans world and as soon as you see superman in a batman world it devalues his place as a hero.

and no, i havent seen the animated justice league cartoons. i dont watch a great deal of television to be honest and south park is the closest thing i watch to a kids animated show. but im guessing your point is that they do some cool and interesting things mixing up the characters on that

No thank you. Nolan can go on to do other things, the guy is not a DC fanboy, and outside of Batman, doesn't sound likes he wants to be in interviews. He is producing Supes, but only because he loved Goyer's script (written by Goyer, I will be suprised if Nolan takes a writing credit on MoS), but that doesn't make him the best fit for DC properties at all. Bruce Timm is the go to guy for something like this, but the WB lacks the vision to see anything past trilogies, and no shared universe.

@Pux

oh no its very much because it can imagine it working. im just imaginging it working in a way im not interested.

i didnt say it makes superman any less unique, like i said, his presence makes everyone else less special and i have nothing against the character for that, i just think its best not to do it and if and when they do, im not really interested in seeing the out come, but to be honest all it would take would be a great cast and crew involved and id problem end up seeing it regardless of my ideals lol

and again i know why it would be a cool concept in general. its just that my version of cool isnt the same as everyone elses.

nolan made a good trilogy,well the first two are good don't know what the third is like.

anyway time to move on from nolan,there is just as good if not better directors than nolan out there let someone else give it a go.

we need,i need to see a dc shared universe & you won't get that if nolan is control of things.

I confirm Ralfinador's Bruce Timm comment.

Just throw the magic pay check at Nolan and he'll stay. Same goes to Bale staying as Batman for a Justice League movie the magic paycheck will do the trick.

@Marvel72 - "there are better directors out there than nolan". Your narrow minded vision makes me laugh. Try again marvelite, try again.

"Nolan made one the best CBM trilogies to date" - Marvel72.

The truth of the matter is that if Chris Nolan were to continue to make DC character movies, eventually people would get tired of them. It's hard to imagine that now, but trust me if you watch the same gritty take that's grounded in reality for every DC character, you will get tired of him. Fact of the matter is is that he was perfect for Batman. He rocked Batman hardcore. He's just not perfect for the all of DC though. A lot of DC characters can't be properly portrayed as gritty and reality based. I appreciate his version of Batman, but it is time for him to move on and for DC to get a fresh new look on their other characters.

@marvel72:
Nolan has expressed interest in producing Batman's reboot and helping out with a Justice League film...
he's not the reason we haven't gotten a JL DC shared universe film...

DC/WB were just major pussies for all these years..

Nolan won't have a long future with DC (little-to-no creative involvement), but Warner is probably going to keep around as Producer for several more Superman and Batman films. The "Governor" of the Warner lot is bankable brand name.

@Supes17
I didn't forget.... you can clearly see his influence on Superman as well. I have no idea how MOS will turn out, but just from looking at Supes' costume itself, it is already darker. To me, Superman is supposed to be a beacon of light in the darkness.... He is not supposed to blend in with it. But having said that, I have hope that MOS will be a good film.

@ Minotauro

you say i'm narrow minded,listen to you riding his cock 24 hours a day.

"his made one of the best comic book movie trilogies to date"

can't argue with that but the bar wasn't exactly raised high in the first place & there isn't that many trilogies.

-the dark knight(2 good films maybe 3)
-spider-man(raimi two films)
-x-men(1/2 films i only like x-men 2,but others may like the first two)
-blade(2 films)

-superman quadrilogy(6 films in total two reboots)
-burtons batman(2 films)
-schmacher batman(2 films)
-the punisher(3 films but i think each one is classed as a reboot)
-iron man(2 films soon to be 3)
-fantastic four(2 films)
-ghost rider(2 films)
-hellboy(2 films)

if you know anything at all about films these directors are as good as if not better than nolan.

-martin scorsese
-francis ford coppola
-david fincher
-sir ridley scott
-brian de palma
-michael mann
-oliver stone
-stanley kubrick(r.i.p)
-quentin tarantino
-darren aronofsky

@ supes17

well nolan is responsable for batman & superman not being in a shared universe & i can see once nolan has finished with batman,warner/dc will be setting up a justice league movie & i bet next batman reboot will be shot in 3d.

@ralfinader

cheers for letting me know. i couldnt remember what i had read.

just meant that c.nolan was credited for story and his brother for script, both with goyer
