Nolan's Batman movie gets a writer

[Guest Lethargic]

David Goyer has signed on to write the script for Christopher Nolan's Batman movie from Nolan's own original story idea.

 

Goyer AND Nolan. Superman keeps getting worse and worse but for some reason, WB has somehow stumbled into doing everything right with this new Batman movie.....so far.

There's only one problem - they STILL want to get Superman off the ground first.

aside from 'dark city', goyer looks to have a pretty shitty track record: 'blade'...'the crow: city of angels'...'demonic toys'...

 

why can't nolan just write it himself? he's a great writer, & he seems to work better with his own scripts anyway.

I'm mixed about this.

 

The thing is, most of the greatness of Blade was from Norrington's direction. The story was passable. Nolan can probobly squeeze the greatness out of the script, kicking and screaming.

 

The positive is that Goyer is a comics fan and will try to appease hardcore fans as well as casual fans.

 

I'd like to see someone like David Mamet take a stab at it. His dialouge in a comic book movie would rule ass.

Not from everything I've seen. The reason they're signing these guys is because with Superman getting delayed, they want to hurry up and get Batman rolling. That was true a couple of months ago, but now that they can't find anybody to direct Superman or play Superman, Batman is moving forward. This isn't like the Yoakin/Dini or Aronofsky/Miller teams that have been signed in the past. Those guys weren't signed to make a movie, they were signed to develop one and if WB liked the idea THEN they'd sign them to make it. This time around, they're saying make it. So far. haha

I can't wait to see if WB's cuts the Nolan/Goyer team's balls off just like countless other creative teams in the past.

If they put some kung fu in there, they'll be left alone...

[Guest MrRant]

All they need is Jet Li as Batman and DMX as Robin and you got money.

[Guest Downhome]

Just fuck Superman for now, and let's get this new Batman going already. From what I can tell it will be a while before the morons can get Superman together and ready.

 

I say hold off on that and just do this Batman.

 

I'm a Christopher Nolan mark, I can't wait.

[Guest McLeary]

Like it's actually gonna happen...

[Guest Lethargic]

I think this one will happen. Probably partly due to wishful thinking, but I really don't get the same type of vibe of this one that I got from those other novelty Batman movie ideas (Beyond, Year One, VS) or the Superman movie. For some reason I don't see Nolan and Goyer being as easily screwable like the other guys that WB has hired to do these movies. I would think that a guy like Nolan would have a bit more pull than a hack like Brett Ratner would and have a better chance at getting it together.
