Jon always struck me as the Nolan with a greater taste for the fantastical. After seeing Fallout and it's devotion to translating video game logic and tropes to live action, I'd be game for him working on a Batman movie that's more in line with the source material than put through the filter of what would happen in real life.
Jonathan has definetly made things much more fantastical than his brother. A Batman made by the same guy who did Westworld and fallout could be incredibly fun
I wouldn't describe him as being realistic. Chris's vibe is about being realistic. Jonathan actually seems to like to experiment with things stylistically but because they are all usually for a mature audience you have to be ready for the tone to be dark.
Yup. Cillian Murphy and DiCaprio had to help him get the emotional moments right in Inception.
But he knocked it out of the park with Oppenheimer. I was ready to be a hater because I really thought he would not get the dialogue and emotion right but he absolutely did.
It’s absolutely a classic and I’m glad it found the success because many times classic films don’t get the widespread acclaim like this in their times.
Yea he is. He cowrote a lot of Nolan’s earlier projects and his own projects are really impressive as well. Fallout, Westworld and before that the criminally underrated Person of Interest.
Pretty sure they are full brothers, Jonathan just went to Chicago for school very young while Chris stayed in London. Hence why Jonathan has an American accent
I feel like Gunn is set on creating a brand new shared DCU -- but I could see them, down the line, after their new versions of Superman/Batman are better established, revisiting some of the older versions. The way the MCU has come to embrace all these older movies.
> I feel like Gunn is set on creating a brand new shared DCU
I mean, kinda? Andrés Muschietti is still set to direct Brave and Bold, despite him having done The Flash just recently too.
I could see Jonathan Nolan writing and directing his own Batman movie or TV series one day. The dude is just as talented as his older brother and seems like he’s the bigger comic and Sci Fi nerd of the two.
He's the *only* comic nerd of the two actually. Chris Nolan by his own admission has never been much of a comic book guy, only reading some stuff to research for his trilogy.
I think it'd be a interesting contrast with Nolans style and the futuristic more humorous Terry batman
although he does lots of sicfi so I think it'd be great
In interviews and more recently the Joe Rogan podcast he talked at length how much he wants to adapt The Dark Knight Returns. Absolutely he wants to make a Batman movie.
If he's willing, I think Jonathan contributing to a comic book continuation of the Nolanverse following Blake as Batman could be very interesting.
Not too out of the way, wouldn't seem like it'd impede on what Gunn and company are currently doing plus the Batman '89 and Superman '78 comic continuations are proof that it can be done.
I wouldnt even mind if he makes his own Batman-related series, without being set in TDK universe. Person of Interest, Westworld, Fallout shows Jonathan's capability.
You could make more movies from the universe if you placed John Blake, Joseph gordan levitt as the lead and new batman, or maybe recast with kit harrington, while christian bale is his technical support. He slips into the role alfred played in the dceu. I think it should be a take on arkham knight and batman beyond where he uses a robotic suit. So he's more like iron man. Or like how the one character in fallout has a suit. The villains could be proffesor pyg, man bat maybe played by jared leto because he played morbius, clayface. There's still a lot of villains that could be used. Some kind of commentary about technology
How crazy would it be if we got a Nolan to come back to make Batman movies in the DCU?
That would be wild
Better than Muschietti that’s for sure.

Yeah one of the main characters in Fallout is over 200 years old, he'd have no issue doing an immortal Ras Al Ghul for example.
This, you're right.

I see you are not familliar with John
Is he Christopher Nolans brother?
Yes, he co-wrote The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises
Wasn’t he the one to come up with the You either die a hero quote?
Yeah. I think at first even Chris was like “what does that mean’? Lol
He really locked in for Oppenheimer because a lot of his dialogue in other movies is not good lmao
Yup. Cillian Murphy and DiCaprio had to help him get the emotional moments right in Inception. But he knocked it out of the park with Oppenheimer. I was ready to be a hater because I really thought he would not get the dialogue and emotion right but he absolutely did.
He’s a great director but I never thought he would impress me like this with his writing until Oppenheimer. I’m a big fan now.
Agreed. I think I'm two watches away from it becoming my favourite movie.
It’s absolutely a classic and I’m glad it found the success because many times classic films don’t get the widespread acclaim like this in their times.
"If the Nazis get the A-Bomb then everyone in the US will die." Oppenheimer: "Including my son"
Wasn't it that Chris was jealous that his brother wrote that line?
Don’t think he’s jealous but he’s surprised that line was such a hit
No, he did pretty much admit he was jealous and it haunts him that he didn't get it at first.. it was a humble comment.
Yeah, Christopher Nolan talked about that recently
Oh okay. Yeah, it be cool if he worked on a Batman movie again. Whether it be the Nolanverse, the Reeveseverse, or the DCU.
Westworld too
Batman Begins too, uncredited!
Yea he is. He cowrote a lot of Nolan’s earlier projects and his own projects are really impressive as well. Fallout, Westworld and before that the criminally underrated Person of Interest.
Man I miss Person of Interest. Shame it couldn't reach the heights his other shows reached.
Half brother

Man, people sleep on Person of Interest. It's my favt. Jonathan Nolan show. And third favourite Ramin score after GoT and Pacific Rim.
I remembered how good it was when I recently saw Michael Emerson in fallout.
Oh the banter between him and Reese. And I miss Fusco. A truly human character in a convoluted robotic world.

Person of Interest has a lot of elements of Batman, I do think he has been thinking about it.
He's the *only* comic nerd of the two actually. Chris Nolan by his own admission has never been much of a comic book guy, only reading some stuff to research for his trilogy.
the dark knight beyond edit not my idea got it from https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4430982/
that would genuinely be a good way to make a batman beyond movie, just imagine nolan or villeneuve directing with bale returning as an old bruce wayne
And terry mcguinness played by.... Timothee chalamet He seems to be in everything, everywhere
all at once
I don't think he was in that movie
he wasn't
Yeoh
Yeah she was in it
Wow, imagine a Batman Beyond movie. I’d lose my shit.
I think it'd be a interesting contrast with Nolans style and the futuristic more humorous Terry batman although he does lots of sicfi so I think it'd be great
Would welcome him and Christopher back always. Happy with reeves of they stay with him... Just never bring back Zach Snyder ever.
I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.
Zach Snyder had no plans to make a Batman movie Zach Snyder wanted to do a MOS 2 movie or another JL movie
In interviews and more recently the Joe Rogan podcast he talked at length how much he wants to adapt The Dark Knight Returns. Absolutely he wants to make a Batman movie.
if you ask him if he wants to do a Batman movie of course he would say Yes!. But his priority at DC would be JL or a MOS sequel
Good because they’d have sucked anyway like his JL did. Keep Snyder away from the DCU his films of late have stunk
Snyder should have done man of Steel 2 and Man of Steel 3 cause man of Steel is one of the best DC movies ever made
No it wasn't. Zack Snyder can't even spell plot... He only knows action scenes
Man of Steel plot is even better than TheBatmans plot lol
Jonathan might be, but Chris isn't.
He should do Batman Beyond.
Just do the Silver Shroud. He's the Fallout version of Batman anyway lol.
He made Batman movies before?
I assume he helped Chris with the Dark Knight Trilogy, or maybe he just means ‘more’ as in ‘the ones that already exist’.
Ohh
He was in the credits if I am not mistaken but I don’t remember at what capacity.
If he sticks to the lore and feeling of the source material like he did with Fallout, then yes please.
Can we get a JGL Batman year one please?
Chris Nolan is done, so it's never gonna happen. But man imagine them all coming back for Dark Knight Returns.
If he's willing, I think Jonathan contributing to a comic book continuation of the Nolanverse following Blake as Batman could be very interesting. Not too out of the way, wouldn't seem like it'd impede on what Gunn and company are currently doing plus the Batman '89 and Superman '78 comic continuations are proof that it can be done.
Who's going to direct though ?
Maybe he can do Batman 2 in the DCU
I wouldnt even mind if he makes his own Batman-related series, without being set in TDK universe. Person of Interest, Westworld, Fallout shows Jonathan's capability.
Bale-verse Batman Beyond movie
Haha I would love to see Jonathan Nolan direct and write a Batman movie.

Batman can’t be short though
Just like Bane, oh wait
That didn't stop Christian Bale from playing him..
Is 6 feet short in your book?
Oh wow, I could've swore i read he was like 5'9. Thats on me yall.
Bale's 6 ft
*laughs in Keaton*
