| With Batman Begins finally out on DVD, we talked to director Christopher Nolan recently about the prospect of a sequel to the Dark Knight's early adventures. Here's what he had to say when we asked him about the tantalising mention of the Joker at the end of the film: "Those elements at the end, certainly, are just there for the feeling of Batman Begins rather than an end specifically suggesting a sequel. On the other hand, it’s a very exciting sort of character and a very exciting sort of world that we’ve got to play in, and I have been talking to the studio about what we would do for a sequel. I wouldn’t do it as my next film, but I’m talking about doing it as a film after that." He does, however, have specific sequel plans. "I have marched into [Warners] and I have told [them] what David Goyer and I think the story is, and they seem to like it a lot." His next film is, of course, The Prestige, starring Christian Bale again and Hugh Jackman. For more from Nolan on Batman and his plans, read our full interview here. |
