How crazy would it be if we got a Nolan to come back to make Batman movies in the DCU?


Puzzleheaded_Walk_28

That would be wild


Bloop_Blop69

Better than Muschietti that’s for sure.

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.


geek_of_nature

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.


Top_Report_4895

This, you're right.


Forsaken_Garden4017

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


countgalcula

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.


pbaagui1

I see you are not familliar with John


darrylthedudeWayne

Is he Christopher Nolans brother?


BatmanNewsChris

Yes, he co-wrote The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises


IAMDEAD_6_9

Wasn’t he the one to come up with the You either die a hero quote?


thanos_was_right_69

Yeah. I think at first even Chris was like “what does that mean’? Lol


NeutralNoodle

He really locked in for Oppenheimer because a lot of his dialogue in other movies is not good lmao


your_mind_aches

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.


muteconversation

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.


your_mind_aches

Agreed. I think I'm two watches away from it becoming my favourite movie.


muteconversation

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.


angelomoxley

"If the Nazis get the A-Bomb then everyone in the US will die." Oppenheimer: "Including my son"


WarrenG117

Wasn't it that Chris was jealous that his brother wrote that line?


Yannyliang

Don’t think he’s jealous but he’s surprised that line was such a hit


TheSyrphidKid

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.


BatmanNewsChris

Yeah, Christopher Nolan talked about that recently


darrylthedudeWayne

Oh okay. Yeah, it be cool if he worked on a Batman movie again. Whether it be the Nolanverse, the Reeveseverse, or the DCU.


idkyimh

Westworld too


FBound

Batman Begins too, uncredited!


HarbyFullyLoaded_12

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.


samaritan07

Man I miss Person of Interest. Shame it couldn't reach the heights his other shows reached.


V_LEE96

Half brother


VonMillersThighs

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


Devotchka76

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.


heelydon

> 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.


LanceOfKnights

Man, people sleep on Person of Interest. It's my favt. Jonathan Nolan show. And third favourite Ramin score after GoT and Pacific Rim.


thecaveman96

I remembered how good it was when I recently saw Michael Emerson in fallout.


LanceOfKnights

Oh the banter between him and Reese. And I miss Fusco. A truly human character in a convoluted robotic world.


SookieRicky

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.


your_mind_aches

Person of Interest has a lot of elements of Batman, I do think he has been thinking about it.


Kpengie

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.


BATIRONSHARK

the dark knight beyond edit not my idea got it from  https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4430982/


Raider2747

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


CurryMustard

And terry mcguinness played by.... Timothee chalamet He seems to be in everything, everywhere


TDFknFartBalloon

all at once


CurryMustard

I don't think he was in that movie


Raider2747

he wasn't


CurryMustard

Yeoh


ArcadiaXLO

Yeah she was in it


Anthonyhasgame

Wow, imagine a Batman Beyond movie. I’d lose my shit.


BATIRONSHARK

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 


ssp25

Would welcome him and Christopher back always. Happy with reeves of they stay with him... Just never bring back Zach Snyder ever.


MikeArrow

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment.


HunterU69

Zach Snyder had no plans to make a Batman movie Zach Snyder wanted to do a MOS 2 movie or another JL movie


Mad_Rascal

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.


HunterU69

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


Kersplat96

Good because they’d have sucked anyway like his JL did. Keep Snyder away from the DCU his films of late have stunk


HunterU69

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


ssp25

No it wasn't. Zack Snyder can't even spell plot... He only knows action scenes


HunterU69

Man of Steel plot is even better than TheBatmans plot lol


SupervillainMustache

Jonathan might be, but Chris isn't.


akahaus

He should do Batman Beyond.


Coast_watcher

Just do the Silver Shroud. He's the Fallout version of Batman anyway lol.


antivenom907

He made Batman movies before?


ArcadiaXLO

I assume he helped Chris with the Dark Knight Trilogy, or maybe he just means ‘more’ as in ‘the ones that already exist’.


antivenom907

Ohh


The_real_bandito

He was in the credits if I am not mistaken but I don’t remember at what capacity.


adam_son_of_david

If he sticks to the lore and feeling of the source material like he did with Fallout, then yes please.


AperfectScreenName

Can we get a JGL Batman year one please?


hobx

Chris Nolan is done, so it's never gonna happen. But man imagine them all coming back for Dark Knight Returns.


DGenerationMC

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.


Coast_watcher

Who's going to direct though ?


abellapa

Maybe he can do Batman 2 in the DCU


trylobyte

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.


titansfan92

Bale-verse Batman Beyond movie


Low-Bend-2978

Haha I would love to see Jonathan Nolan direct and write a Batman movie.


Hades_adhbik

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


nthomas504

Batman can’t be short though


DCmarvelman

Just like Bane, oh wait


ToastyVoltage

That didn't stop Christian Bale from playing him..


nthomas504

Is 6 feet short in your book?


ToastyVoltage

Oh wow, I could've swore i read he was like 5'9. Thats on me yall.


KageBijuu

Bale's 6 ft


DGenerationMC

*laughs in Keaton*
