With The Dark Knight Rises less than 2 weeks away...I thought this would be a good time to look at how Nolan's Batman came into being.

  As Goyer recalls, “I said, ‘If I did do it, this is what I would do, and you can have my ideas for free.’ I talked for about an hour and spit-balled a large amount of what the film is, and Chris said, ‘Wow, that sounds great.’ He went away again for a few more days, [then] I got a call saying, ‘You have to do this.’” Goyer carved out the time to write the first draft of the script.

This is a very cool read. Lengthy, but interesting to comic geeks.
