Nolan talked for the first time about his plans for relaunching Superman, and his intentions to make a third and final Batman film.
Nolan will not be directing the film himself; instead he will oversee its development as a producer.
The other bombshell in the interview is that Nolan intends for his follow-up for the hugely successful "The Dark Knight" to be his last Batman film. He says that his brother Jonathan, who co-wrote the last movie, is currently at work on the screenplay. Nolan says that finding an ending to Batman's story is the main appeal for him to return to Gotham City.
"I'm very excited about the end of the film, the conclusion, and what we've done with the characters," Nolan tells the Times. "Unlike the comics, these things don't go on forever in film and viewing it as a story with an end is useful."
Nolan also says he and his writing partners are applying the lessons they learned from the Batman series and applying it to Superman. He said they are "trying to find an incredible story in a way that audiences can engage with it the way they engage with contemporary action films." Just don't expect the two superheroes to cross paths. Nolan makes it clear in the interview: "Each [superhero] serves to the internal logic of the story. They have nothing to do with each other."
