RUMOR: Christopher Nolan controls DC Universe

DC: Nolan is the perfect director...FOR YOU.
I didn't want to believe this because it sounded too insane to be true. Then I remembered how Hollywood truly functions ($$$) and realized, it's just crazy enough to work.

The Latino Review is reporting that both Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale will return in Warner Bros (parent company of DC Comics) upcoming Justice League film. Nolan swore he was done directing anymore comic book movies after last year's The Dark Knight Rises concluded his blockbuster Batman film trilogy, and Bale said he wouldn't dream of reprising his role as the caped crusader without Nolan. Well, Nolan is an executive producer for this year's Superman reboot, Man of Steel, so he hasn't completely abandoned his post in the DC cinematic universe. Now this dude from The Latino Review (who has a ridiculously accurate track record of breaking scoops with DC films) is reporting that Warner Bros is so desperate to curb Disney's domination of the geek franchise market, both Avengers & Star Wars now belong to the mouse, they are willing to move heaven and Earth to get the key players from their own billion dollar Batman franchise on board with their new Justice League project. Check it out:

I don't know what to believe. After hearing those arguments, it sounds like anything is possible at this point. All I know is that I've been a Marvel fanboy for the past 20 years so DC and their Justice League movie can suck it! I'm kidding. I'm actually kind of stoked for this new Superman flick (the trailer where Supes gets thrown into the bank vault? *SWOONS*) and if Warner Bros can pull this Nolan deal off, every nerd in the world will be better off for it. 

What do you folks think about this mega Oprah Nolan rumor?

  1. I haven't seen the new trailer but now can think of little other than seeing it.

    A Nolan comic book flick could be a lot of fun. Too bad Heath Ledger isn't around to co-star.

  3. I'm looking forward to Bale being the new Superman if Nolan is directing it. Although, seriously, I don't mind this at all. I take it as good news that Bale would play Batman in any and all spin offs. Whether he likes it or not, he is now Batman.

  4. All about the dough! And I could care less about Superman, such a boring boy scout.

  6. I really don't have much of a love for the Justice League being a Marvel fan myself man but I'm sure it's going to be a decent film. I wouldn't be surprised if Nolan did have some involvement with the Justice League film.

  8. I have, and always will be, a DC fan over a Marvel one. So if a great director like Nolan can help alleviate my fears for a Justice League movie, awesome!
