There has been lots to say that whilst he will not be at the helm of any further Batman films, he will help produce future Batman reboots. The current trend for reboots is something that I'm finding myself increasingly at odds with. Take the recent 'reboot' of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
I'm a big fan of the 2011 film, the book, and of David Fincher. The problem being it's critical reception due to it's proximity to the original, had a damaging effect on it's box office performance. This in turn has put a dampener on the subsequent sequels, in particular the turning off of Fincher. Who has pretty much categorically ruled out a return to the chair for the remainder of the films. The current news being that both sequels are due to be filmed back to back (starting in the autumn), for release in 2013. I'm not holding my breath.
Back to Nolan.
I'm reading lots about plans for Nolan to be the saviour of the remainder of DC Comics character stable. Most notably with a reboot of The Green Lantern (hence my earlier comment about reboots). I'm not hugely opposed to a Green Lantern reboot, as the Ryan Reynolds outing was particularly awful, and as a character The Green Lantern deserves better.
What concerns me more is the possibility of Nolan getting caught in a black hole of comic book adaptations (which wouldn't be the end of the world, as I love comic book movies), ultimately detracting from other projects. Nolan has the midas touch, and I love the variety and quality of his films.
One door that this does potentially open though, and one that is currently a hot topic out there, is the Justice League being brought to the big screen.
This I would love to see...
