It's not that surprising that he would want to go back because Jonathan is the Geek in the family and Christopher is the nerd. So while Chistropher moved on for more nerdier projects Jonathan has been picking geekier projects so going back to DC fits his tastes.

[@harrismatthew5553]

I’d assume he would only do the project is his brother Chris directed it. Bale would def return if Chris returned as well

[@deanm6575]

Bale lol hes about 50 no chance ​@harrismatthew5553

[@masonteague4039]

Would love to see a 4th dark knight film with Christian bale returning as batman & Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Robin

[@shayanbhattacharjee5357]

Jonathan nolan himself is a great director. Person of interest, Westworld and now fallout. He directed some great episodes. If he does TDK 4, that’s 1 billion dollar film ready for WB

[@billymoore7182]

The Dark Knight is my favorite movie of all time and The Dark Knight Trilogy is my favorite live action Batman movies of all time. So if Johnathan Nolan were to make a fourth sequel with Christian Bale, I would definitely be on board. Hell, I would even own it on DVD with the first 3 films. The Villian could even be The Riddler or maybe even Black Mask. I think a Christian Bale Batman movie with Black Mask as the main villian would be interesting.

[@isaiahyinko7182]

Same here man. I grew up with the dark knight trilogy and they're some of my favorite movies of all time. Bale is my favorite batman. The best batman movies ever made. The trilogy arrived when I was 6 years old and made a batman fan, I've been a batman fan ever since.

[@matthewpopp1054]

TDK: Batman Beyond

[@MrVelez809]

YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ITS PERFECT!!!

[@juanluismendoza8655]

That would be cool but I bet you John would not care. John thinks nobody wants a Batman that is not Bruce Wayne. That’s why he never cared about Batman Beyond.

[@TheShrouded]

Jonah's directorial debut was an episode of Person of Interest and it was Awesome. It was a mix of Dark Knight, Heat and Usual Suspects with Ramin Djawadi score 🤯

[@justinchan6043]

Jonathan Nolan also excels in television, having done Westworld and one of my favorite shows, Person of Interest. Perhaps he could write a Dark Knight or perhaps Nightwing tv series? That would be cool, too. Of course he would have to recast Batman, as I don't see Christian Bale starring in a tv series.

[@viktore69]

I think if Dark Knight 4 can happen. So can Sam Raimi Spider-Man 4.

[@ekam.jawanda]

It makes sense to me because Christian even said himself that he always believed he didn’t quite nail playing Batman and a lot people think that rise ls is the weakest movie in the trilogy so it would make sense for Christian to get redemption of trying to put out his best version of Batman but also a testament to the writers and directors to see if they can make a better movie from the last one

[@mr.martnz14]

…goosebumps.

[@michaelpowers6551]

How did John forget ‘Person of interest’ I still think that was one of J Nolan’s best shows

[@marinekid13]

Jonathan Nolan to handle the Bateman Beyond era.

[@ariryan]

It would be hard for Christopher Nolan to come back to that franchise...I think “The Dark Knight Rises” has been treated as its endpoint, and different Batman stories are being told now...🐱🐰

[@XieRH1988]

it was the endpoint for bruce wayne, but it did sort of tease at the end that 'robin' was inheriting his legacy. A story that explores a batman successor of sorts could be interesting.

[@dougsmith4602]

I will never say no to more Batman.

[@jeffreyknutson]

If Jonathan is going to do a continuation of the Dark Night trilogy, and he want's to have Christian Bale return as Batman/Bruce Wayne, would Batman Beyond be ob the table?

[@nth_to_see_here]

The possibility of new Dark Knight movies by Jonathan, with Bale, would make me more afraid of tarnishing a good legacy rather than excite me.

[@juanluismendoza8655]

Plus, the Dark Knight Rises had a really definitive ending.

[@andrewkarns5502]

Dark Knight 4 is never going to happen anytime soon because it all hinges on Christopher Nolan coming back and he's quite definitively saying he's never coming back. Maybe Nolan changes his mind down the road, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that. If one day many years from now Nolan changes his mind and does an older Batman story with Bale, I could imagine that! And I'd be the first person in line for it.

[@jomyabreu5134]

I think it's room for Jonathan Nola in this DCu, *The Brave and The Bold* should be first a good movie than a comic book movie to make Batman mythical again in the eyes of the people.

[@kylebeiriger3067]

“Robin Begins” with Joseph Gordon Levit. We could get a nice Bale cameo too.

[@tomasnichols8401]

That character was an homage to Robin, but I think the idea at the end is that he inherited the mantle of 'Batman'. What he does with that is open to any and all interpretation, though. I think it would be kinda fun to see what kind of Batman a former police detective would be. What if he approached it like a police officer and didn't work alone, but within a tactical team of other former, disillusioned officers, kinda like the Sons of Batman from 'The Dark Knight Returns'? I think everyone envisions a return to that world as 'how does Bruce Wayne come back as Batman this time?', but I think there's gotta be a starting point with John Blake in there...

[@Blahblahblehblhah]

a 40 year old Robin.... genius

[@Kaffiene-lp3ji]

He said he would love to return to Gotham. Why would it have to be centered around Batman.. it could be red hood .. nightwing.. Damian.. Court of owls.. Gotham is endless

[@igotluckbutluckgot....4601]

But they are not an American icon. They are not batman.

[@spicymemes7458]

Only if they payoff Joseph Gordon Levitt Nightwing, but to John's point, DC has tons of different Batmen running congruently with each other. I don't think people are really going to be bothered, especially after they are used to multiverse stuff these days. We technically had 3 in the Flash, Pattinson might show in Penguin, and the Arkham games.

[@mattboesch8907]

3?

[@joeschmo6637]

Here's All the Batman family of films that we need to be announced Tomorrow: 1. The Dark Knight 4 (Christopher, Jonathan Nolan and Christian Bale along with supporting cast) 2. Batman Beyond starring Michael Keaton as older Batman/Bruce Wayne that retires and trains a Terry McGinnis new Batman in a semi-futuristic setting.--ALSO MUST BRING BACK THE DANNY ELFMAN ICONIC SCORE. 3. The Batman 2 (Matt Reeves/Robert Pattinson) 4. Batman the Brave and the Bold (CAST ANNOUNCEMENT). 5. One final Batfleck Batman to send off the Snderverse/Ben Affleck's Batman, perhaps a showdown with Jared Leto's Joker and someone else?

[@samuelpinkerton5307]

No Jared Leto joker, for the love of god 🤡

[@michaelkelsay4559]

The thing that I love about the dark knight aside from the fact that it’s my favorite comic book movie ever is the fact that we as fans have to stop tripping over casting of characters until we get a chance to see them. Heath is the definitive example of an actor that almost everybody was just bashing him as the joker simply because he was known for 10 things I hate about you which honestly was a pretty decent movie but just him playing the “ heartthrob” every fan was just getting their panties so twisted it was unbelievable. Then they dropped the trailer and at that point I think a complete 180 was done. Even though we still couldn’t see his actual performance but the trailer showed enough of his look, demeanor, voice and yes…the laugh which all was just so gripping and hooked most people in and then the movie came out and I saw it 4 times in the theater just to see him remove that mask at the end of the opening robbery scene. One of the absolute best moments ever in cinema for me. The way he looked, his subtle eye movements and his voice were stellar but kudos to the score because that deep tone that immediately followed stranger was absolutely adrenaline pushing you into a movie that at that point you just knew was brilliant

[@macknosauce4994]

I'd like to see The Dark Knight Returns, based off the Frank Miller original.

[@koolguyrhy]

11 minutes or talking about the prospect of a 4th Dark Knight snd probably the most interesting bullet point being who would even be the Batman between Christian Bale or JGL wasn’t even discussed…

[@mattmcc72]

After Dark Knight Rises, he went on to create Person of Interest. Which with only a small re--write, was Batman!

[@teelyttle2480]

“Some people often forget there was another Nolan as well… his brother Johnathan Nolan”… I am some people… never heard oh him until this video…

[@nicklarson8575]

How about Jonathan Nolan + David Fincher. The Darkest of Dark Knights...

[@jorgeflores4928]

You so handsome

[@intothezombieapocalypse]

Too be honest... I think this could happen. With WB being in debt with so much money, Chris and Jonah and Goyer all coming back for one more Dark Knight movie with Bale.... MONEY IN THE FUCKING BANK!!!! Just rewatched those movies and they still hold up. The only thing about those movies is that it feels like theres a part of the story missing... Id love to see what happens with John Blake after Dark Knight Rises. That Robin tease would be great to see be paid off. Especially with all of these creators and Bale all at the peak of their careers would be amazing to see a one off to top the films off. I could definately see them doing one more... and im talking about DC STudios letting them do it.

[@RikGierman]

Nah give us Batman Beyond, Terry Mcginnis mentored by Old Bruce Wayne already!

[@kerryduke5232]

I would love to see Jonah do a time period Batman movie. Set either in 40,s 50's, or 60's... or do adaption of Grant Morrison return with Dick Grayson as Batman, Damian as Robin.

[@jigglyjuice7907]

Batman beyond would be the next step,

[@christopherbrown5023]

Not for the Nolan brothers, however. They do their own thing, and come up with their own original stories.

[@arsen-jb1gs]

Westworld season 1 is exceptional,

[@riyan3931]

instead make a new Dark Knight, i wish and waited James Gunn do collab with Christopher Nolan for DCU, like MCU did with Sam Raimi, it will be awesome and i hope they do it since Nolan usually make a movie under WB

[@inshal6420]

He had a huge falling out with WB unfortunately

[@zagariasbooysen7401]

Well i think Nolan moved away from Warner Brothers!!

[@mickfox3262]

Well, look at the box office of No Way Home. Garfield and Tobey returning

[@kevinsmithfan37]

You can do it, but you have to release Brave and the Bold first before you announce it. You need to let the DCEU canon Batman at least hit cinemas so people connect to the new DCEU first. It's the same as spiderman. You could make a tobey/Garfield spiderman and it wouldnt hurt spiderverse or Tom's because people are already invested.

[@01downside]

He can help produce and give ideas.

[@zay2474]

A TDK 4 film would def surpass endgame/ IW/NWH/DP& Wolverine hype

[@zagariasbooysen7401]

I am sorry it would never beat Infinity War and Endgame Hype or even it's Box Office. Warner Brothers has done to much damage to DC in the last few Years.

[@thehacker4012]

I think Jonathan Nolan was talking about if he could go back to that time of life that he would do it again. I don't think he meant he wants to the return to TDK universe post-Christopher Nolan.

[@jeffreyroedel9804]

Oh I think it would be fascinating if the Nolans and Bale (and Oldman, Murphy, and Hathaway) returned for one more movie about an older Bruce on one more adventure to save Gotham. Nolan would not make it if there wasn't a great idea, and even though I can't personally come up with an idea, I bet they could!

[@mattboesch8907]

Bring in Hush. Or Black Mask or somebody that could give Bruce a run for his money.

[@jeffreyroedel9804]

@@mattboesch8907 Maybe Nolan could explore the idea of family. Bruce is older now and has a family, which is something he's always sought after losing his parents. What happens when his family is at stake or his duties as a father clash with Gotham needing him one more time. I don't know. There could be something there as a story, if Bruce was a father to a teenager in the movie set 20 years after TDKR. The Batman has a legacy in Gotham after TDKR, but what is Bruce's legacy as a man? Family would be a big part of that.

[@andrewdockrill]

Im here for it if it ever happens but im 100% sure it wont, you could tell christopher nolan felt burnt out and tired of the world by the 3rd, he said as much.

[@giedriusbeast3220]

[@TheRaunz]

Bale Vs Phoenix "The killing joke", see you at the Oscars!

[@skiwlkr9928]

3:32 my thing is we’ve had countless animated versions of Batman some at the same time, I see this as no different. Give him a mini series or something if he truly wants to

[@christopherbrown5023]

It is different though. What works fine with animation doesn't mean the same is true with live action. The mini series idea is a no go. Chris Nolan won't do TV, and Bale won't return for anyone except Chris.

[@SmokeWithMeInCT]

Bale did say he would return with the right script

[@BasedOnTheTrailer]

i mean he said he would like to return to gotham, so it could be to tell other stories not necessarily in the Chris Nolan Universe

[@tomasnichols8401]

He was asked about that and said "to me, it will always be Christian", so I took that to mean that it would be set in that universe. It's probably difficult to write different versions of the same thing with any real artistic integrity. Hans Zimmer expressed that with his DCEU Batman work, saying he struggled with connecting to the Ben Affleck Batman in his motifs because his creative output with Batman is geared towards those TDK movies with Christian Bale.

[@BasedOnTheTrailer]

@@tomasnichols8401 makes sense

[@juanluismendoza8655]

I don’t know if that’s a good idea. The Dark Knight Rises had a pretty definitive ending for Bruce Wayne with him leaving with Selina Kyle and Gotham believing he’s dead. Another sequel would just undo that happy ending and I don’t think anyone wants that.

[@KM-tv5km]

The Dark Knight is not just the greatest Batman movie of all time, The Dark Knight is not just the greatest superhero movie of all time… The Dark Knight is the greatest movie of all time, nothing even comes close, it is undeniable

[@kevinsmithfan37]

You haven't watched enough movies

[@nathanlatham5651]

I’ve seen plenty of movies, but I can say that the dark knight is in the “discussion” for sure. It’s not just a perfect movie, there are plenty of those but this movie just went for it. It transcended the entire genre and gave us maybe one of the best performances we’ve ever seen

[@irishspagetti6565]

One of the best comic book movies ever but definitely not one of the best movies ever

[@KM-tv5km]

@@kevinsmithfan37 I’ve seen A LOT of movies, and I’ve seen all the big movies that are constantly put in that discussion, and I can say with complete confidence that none of them even come close to TDK, they really caught lighting in a bottle and it’s something that’ll never be replicated. Heath’s once in a lifetime performance, the perfect opening scene, the relentless pacing, HZ & JNH masterful score, the beautiful yet grim cinematography, there is not a single flaw in the movie. It’s number 3 on the IMDb top 100 list already, that shows you just how many other people agree, and while the 2 movies above it are great (Shawshank and Godfather), neither one of them are close to being as perfect as TDK

[@andrewdockrill]

I would absolutely not go that far, but to each their own.

[@TheJ1s]

[@harrismatthew5553]

The upper heads at DC will NEVER allow it. Simply based off the fact that they don’t want to be embarrassed by the absolute titanic hype fans would get behind it. Not to mention fans would absolutely die for a continuation of this story way more than anything Gunn has announced.

[@inshal6420]

I feel like it’s the opposite. If Nolan wanted to come back WB would drop everything and give him whatever he want.

[@harrismatthew5553]

[@josermaiz]

For bat man barge and the bold film

[@DM-en7hk]

I think TDKR territory would be great. We only got glimpses in Z. Snyder’s DCEU. I see a few options: 1. The Nolans, Bale, and Goyer come back for an aged Batman who has to take the mantle back; 2. Jonathan Nolan joins the writing team for the new James Gunn Batman movies (or even the Matt R. Elseworlds Batman); or 3. J. J. Abrams has a habit of leaving PJ’s early. Put Jonathan Nolan on the Caped Crusader team with Ed Brubaker, Matt R., and Bruce Timm. Actually, there’s a fourth: put him on Daredevil. That’s a gold mine.

[@juanluismendoza8655]

Didn’t The Dark Knight Rises already kind of feel like an adaptation of the Dark Knight Returns? It had Bruce Wayne coming out of retirement to become Batman again and facing opposition from the police.

[@kid100music3]

batman faking his death and moving to paris was a good ending. let's not over do it.

[@michaelkelsay4559]

I would absolutely be down for maybe a return to that trilogy given the fact that it’s arguably the best superhero trilogy in history the only one close is avengers-infinity war. I think they could definitely grab Joseph Gordon levitt and make a good 4th movie

[@rlopez9044]

This guy Ray is ALWAUS clueless!!

[@deadpoo-poo4497]

[@derheadbanger9039]

Make it Batman Beyond!

[@AlexKnightVancouver]

I can’t say this with certainty, but with the right team and material, I think Christian Bale would do another one. They can’t wait forever though. Could do a totally new story unconnected to the previous films. Christian is 50 so if they do one 5 years from now, it could be a DKR thing.

[@Humanipathic]

Would love to see JGL and a new trilogy, how do you not see where they’d go it? He’s the new Batman, not Robin. Bruce said Batman can be anyone through the whole film. Really curious how that played out in fantasy land and villains that crawled out we never saw. Blake needed lots of training too.

[@juanluismendoza8655]

That is true. However, I don’t know if that will appeal to audiences. John thinks nobody will want a Batman that is not Bruce Wayne. That’s the main reason why he doesn’t care about Batman Beyond.

[@irishspagetti6565]

It's great he would want to go back to that universe but it's gone, it was wrapped up with DKR

[@mattboesch8907]

The only think I would wanna see if Blake continued with the Batman moniker or if he chose his own code name like Nightwing or something.

[@Animodeus]

I want Jonathan nolan to Direct a elseworld batman beyond trilogy It would be his iconic trilogy Like nolan TDK trilogy and sam spiderman trilogy I'm also open to see Jonathan to direct DCU batman brave and the bold

[@tigerlancer]

What is this man talking about? Doesn't he know that every month, there are 6 independent Batman titles that come out in 6 part issues and each issue come out, once a month or every two months or some times every 6 months if there are delays? Studios are dumb if they think casual fans don't understand different Batman stories, simultaneously being told independent of each other.

[@ORLOSTguy]

When Gunn and others have used the term "Elseworlds" in regard to The Batman movie or Todd Phillips' the Joker movies, it makes me cringe a bit. An Elseworlds story takes place outside of continuity, allowing DC writers and artists to explore concepts like Batman fighting Jack the Ripper in the 19th century, or the Justice League protecting feudal Japan. Yes, the Joker movie(s) are a little different but mostly because it is missing Batman and other rogue's gallery villains. The Batman movie is straight up year two of the original Batman story. Nothing "Elseworldly" about it at all. When I hear Elseworlds, I think of Batman By Gaslight; Batman (1989): The Blue, the Grey, and the Bat (1992); Batman: Brotherhood of the Bat (1995); Batman: Crimson Mist (1998); or Superman: Speeding Bullets (1993); Superman: Kal (1995); and the Flash's Original Flashpoint (1999); among many others. A Victorian detective, Bruce Wayne, investigating the murders of Jack the Ripper. What if baby Kal-El had been found by Thomas and Martha Wayne? Any and all of these storylines would make very entertaining films and actually be a true Elseworlds presentation.

I was not thinking about Christian Bale coming back and when I heard potentially he turned down the Batman role in For Ben’s place or the Flash movie I was not disappointed at all. But for some reason even with two other Batman now feels like the perfect time. I also do think they could end his story more satisfying end to his story that’d allow us to see how Robin(for some reasons the guys literal name) was doing filling out the Mantle, or even could even just be an epilogue of how he was doing for the most part. I think it’d be interesting if it tied in all the villains by having a Joker inspired gang to pay tribute to Heath and Scarecrow like every movie, but also could have Vengeance for a Bane’s daughter with a big new looming background threat that Robin feels he needs to bring Bruce back into the loop seeing that something’s big coming and we fully get to have him as the detective to figure everything out.

[@juanluismendoza8655]

But didn’t The Dark Knight Rises’s ending feel pretty definitive for Bruce Wayne? Making a sequel will mean undoing that and I don’t think Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan would want that.

@@juanluismendoza8655 I wouldn’t really say a definitive ending, he’s already tried to retire before, this time was just different because the people of Gotham learned to fight for themselves but I wouldn’t really say that fixes the problem when that was one of the problems in the film before it.

[@juanluismendoza8655]

Minus the first one? Are you saying that you didn’t like Batman Begins?

[@graymoon3000]

Nope it was ok when it first came out but compared to the following two no longer holds up.

[@thomaspaterson1354]

​@graymoon3000 I think it still holds up, it's definitely the most comicbookie of the trilogy so I can see why you would say it wouldn't hold up tho so respect your opinion

[@juanluismendoza8655]

@@thomaspaterson1354 Isn’t Batman Begins considered to be the definitive movie adaptation of Batman’s origin story? That’s probably why they haven’t done another origin film ever since.

[@graymoon3000]

Agreed. You gotta admit the following two were for better than the first which to me is a good thing and makes the trilogy complete.

[@benm5970]

This is basically like the Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4 situation, where it seems like no matter how many years pass and how many different incarnations of the character they do it seems to always be an internet pipe dream, even though there’s 0 reasons to believe they’ll happen the internet will always cling to the possibility, and so no, it won’t happen nor should it happen, but I just know that the rumors will never truly die

[@tomasnichols8401]

Not exactly like Spider-Man 4. Sam Raimi wants to make Spider-Man 4. I don't think Chris Nolan wants to make another Batman movie. At least, I don't think he wants to make one yet. He's point-blank answered the question in the recent past and said "No." Maybe one day, once he's done all his original ideas and the DCU Batman along with Reeves' Batman have both run their course, he might have a different attitude towards it, but, yeah, I can't see Chris Nolan wanting to do that anytime soon.

[@tonyke2550]

Here's my opinion: if James Gunn's DC universe does happen to somehow fall apart within those minimum of 3 years, I strongly suggest DC Studios and/or Warner Bros. to highly consider convincing Christopher Nolan back into the DC universe, BUT NOT ALONE. If the Nolan brothers want to continue with the Dark Knight franchise, they must hire Alan Ritchson, because he's the only actor who's capable of literally destroying the average Joe physically single-handed (plus, he's tall and all he needs is to dye all his hair black). And when I say not alone, I'm referring to the Nolan brothers considering luring in Denis Villeneuve as one of the heads of the DC studios (maybe vice president). Then, we can talk about hiring actors/actresses who're optimal for the rest of the original 7 members of the Justice League.

Batman Beyond make it so

[@Venger26]

Whatever…

[@mackrod1977]

The Dark Knight Rises stunk of studio interference. I don't really care to see a continuation of that

[@11sdownie]

Go watch your cookie cutter marvel films

[@untouchable360x]

Jonathan Nolan proved that he is a shitty writer without his brother with Westworld.

[@thehacker4012]

Westworld was an acclaimed series particularly the first two seasons.

TDK trilogy sucked sorry but not sorry

[@mrlopez6518]

Someone trying to be different

[@robertromani]

Why not? John, you're often more wrong than not. If they're planning on Brave and The Bold being an older Batman who is introduced to his biological son Damian, this fits. Bruce had a night with Talia. Ten years later she returns (after a visit to the Lazurus pit) to introduce father to son. As they did with Justice League, Bale's Batman is the hardened leader of the Super team. Murphy coming back as Scarecrow with the Legion of Doom. They bought back Keaton decades later.

[@VeynJaggat]

Fuck no . Its good again so he wants to claim it again as his own. Im tired of Nolan personally

[@giedriusbeast3220]

go back to school then to learn

I don't want Gunn's DCU to fail, but I do think its very possible it will. Superman has to be their Ironman in 2008. If not, I do fear for the worst. In that case, I do believe WB will be desperate enough to revisit the Nolanverse, among other things.
