How Batman vs. Superman's Development Hell Gave Way to Batman Begins

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.

No plans for Batman 3......yet....

THE DARK KNIGHT screenwriter DAVID GOYER is baffled by reports he's working on a second sequel to 2005's BATMAN BEGINS - because he hasn't even discussed the possibility with director CHRISTOPHER NOLAN.

Goyer was rumoured to have reteamed with Nolan to pen a script for another installment of the superhero franchise following the huge box office success of this summer's (08) The Dark Knight.
The film has grossed $988 million (GBP534 million) worldwide since its July (08) release.

But Goyer insists there are no plans for another Batman movie just yet, telling MTV, "It's all B.S. (bulls**t). All of it." He adds, "Chris and I haven't even talked about it. He quite understandably is taking a long, long vacation and wants to purge himself.

"We have mused here and there (but) I mean Chris is pretty much a one-movie-at-a-time kind of guy. I wish I could tell you more. There really isn’t anything to tell."
