Christopher Nolan Talks ‘Batman 3’

Director Christopher Nolan recently spoke about his work on ‘Batman 3.’ When asked if he had actually signed on for the film Nolan said, “No I haven’t. There is a point where you’re just being precious about it and people get annoyed, but the God’s honest truth is I work on one movie at a time. I’m only capable of doing that, so my head will continue to be firmly in [‘Inception’] for another few months.”
As far as the story Nolan stated, “My brother is working on the screenplay. We came up with a story that we are very excited about. We particularly like where we are taking the characters and what the ending is… There are things for me to be very excited about in addressing the characters again. But ultimately it always comes down to the script, and can we make a great film from this? That’s something I will firmly be turning my attention to figuring out fairly soon.” It will be, he said, “the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the balloon and expanding the story.”

As far as the question as to whether The Joker will return Nolan firmly said, “‘No, I just don’t feel comfortable talking about it.”
