Hell, he's the one who came to Warner Bros. with the idea for Batman Begins. If Nolan was unhappy I have no doubt he wouldn't have agreed to do the movie.
Fail.Warner Bros hired him after several failed attempts to re-invent the franchise.

Agreed. I wish they'd have chosen a darker actress. And by darker I mean with some sultry dark qualities.
Me too. If that's the physical look they are going for, Eva Green is much more sultry and a WAY better actress.

yeah,like with Superman Returns?WB might give some leeway now then but ultimately they will step in if they think it's for the best.
That was all Bryan Singer. Everyone knows that. After "Inception" and "The Dark Knight," Nolan has about as much clout in the industry as Steven Spielberg has. In other words, he's now an untouchable.

You're half-right. Yes, Warner Bros. hired him after several failed attempts, but Christopher Nolan came to them. David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan came to Warner Bros. in late-2003 with the idea of rebooting the Batman franchise. Warner Bros. loved the idea and the rest is history.

Just like B&R was all Schumacher. Signer was as hot as Nolan pre-Batman Begins.

Until he forms his own LucasFilm or Dreamworks,he's just another hot director.One major flop is all it takes.

No, I am right.WB went through SEVERAL creators (READ:First Choices)before grabbing the guy who made Memento.He had to sell them on his competence level,but Warner Bros. suggested the meet.

The story I heard was that Nolan came to them and pitched an origin story to them. They hired him after they liked the idea.

Schumacher gets too much crap for Batman & Robin. The movie wasn't all his fault, it was also pressure from the studio. The only reason why Batman Forever and Batman & Robin happened the way they did is because Warner Bros. didn't like how dark Batman Returns was.

I highly doubt Spielberg was only considered a "hot director" when he formed DreamWorks in 1994. The man was the director of the 80s. And Lucas was a nobody when he formed LucasFilm.

yeah it was years since he made a great movie
he had no impact on the the early 90s(BTW these both came out in 93,when S.S. was only seven years older than Nolan is now.) and you're missing or ignoring the point anyway Having said this,I'm out on this thread.You are insistent that WB has little impact on their own product. I know better.

I'm getting more excited about this casting as I read more about it. I do think that Hathaway will only don the suit for an extremely short period of the movie (maybe 90 seconds or even just a one shot).

while I would definitely PIIAH's B.... Kate Mara would have been much better.

Oh looky someone can use imdb and takes it at face value despite the fact that anyone who has an ounce of sense and movie knowledge knows that Jonathan Nolan has been doing the scripts for his brother.
James Cameron wrote half of the Spiderman that came out in 2002. Go imdb the credits for Spiderman and tell me what you find skippy.

Wow...nine pages on this. A shite ton of geeks on this board.
Catwoman doesn't excite me in the least, but Nolan's had plenty of movies where he knew how to use the femme fatale...Mal in Inception, Carrie Ann Moss in Memento, and the blonde in Following. Could work. She may never even be Catwoman...I highly doubt it...she may just be Selina Kyle. Even Tim Burton's Catwoman worked out pretty well, I have faith Nolan will make it work.
I love Tom Hardy, but Bane...eh. Never a Bane fan. We'll see...like I said, I have the utmost faith in Nolan.

All of these movies weren't touched by Columbia/Sony,which is why "Marvel Studios" became a legitimate film-house because they were tired of the interference big studios were causing. Subsequently, MS went to Disney
Dude stop talking about the behind the scenes aspects of the motion picture industry because you have no idea what the frick you are chatterboxing about.
Marvel Studios is not a studio. It's a production company. They finance money for projects that are licensed via the Marvel label. Sony bought the distribution/film rights for the Spiderman franchise and they watched as Sam Raimi turned Spiderman into a campy emo dancing buffoon. They give Sam Raimi every chance to turn it all around, and he walked away. They said frick you and are rebooting it with a director who want turn Spiderman into a fricking Panic at the Disco homo.
MS didn't "go to" Disney at all. Disney bought Marvel Studios. Why? Because Disney knows how to and has the desire to make money. They have shareholders to take care of and buying up Marvel along with the film/licensing rights that they own was a great business decision.

No they didn't.
The only Batman idea that had any remote chance of becoming a reality between 1997 and 2005 was a Batman vs. Superman idea that never was even really considered to be plausible.

No it wasn't. Year One never made it to casting. Brandon Routh was cast for Superman Returns because he was already cast for Batman vs. Superman.

Incorrect. Routh was never offered in B vs.S although he did audition.Bale was cast in Year One though.
