Zack Sharf Digital News Director David S. Goyer is the co-architect of Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy. The director recruited Goyer to help him flesh out the story and co-write 2005’s “Batman Begins,” before Nolan and his brother Jonathan penned the scripts for 2008’s “The Dark Knight” and 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises” based on stories cracked by Goyer.
What does Goyer think about a potential fourth Nolan-directed Batman movie? Don’t count on it. “I don’t think thats ever going to happen,” Goyer said when asked on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast about Nolan making another film. “And I wouldn’t want to do another Batman project either.” YouTuber HugoDécrypte previously asked Nolan during the “Oppenheimer” press tour if he would make “another superhero movie.” Nolan bluntly answered, “No.” His Batman actor Christian Bale told ScreenRant last summer that he would only play Batman for a fourth time if Nolan was directing. “I had a pact with Chris Nolan,” Bale said at the time. “We said, ‘Hey, look.
Let’s make three films, if we’re lucky enough to get to do that. And then let’s walk away. Let’s not linger too long.’ In my mind, it would be something if Chris Nolan ever said to himself, ‘You know what, I’ve got another story to tell.’ And if he wished to tell that story with me, I’d be in.” Elsewhere during his “Happy Sad Confused” interview, Goyer confirmed reports that he advocated for Jake Gyllenhaal to be cast as Batman over Christian Bale.
