Christopher Nolan has acknowledged that he will be returning to direct a third Batman movie. It was confirmed when he sat down with an interviewer from Empire.
Here is a quote from the article:
“It’s becoming inevitable, I’ll put it that way,” says Nolan. “I feel myself falling into it, I guess. And getting it all figured out and I’m pretty excited about what we’re doing so… If I haven’t announced it, I think that people probably all know at this point that I’m doing it.”
Hang on, that’s not 100% clear: so we can safely assume you’re directing?
“I think you can at this point, yes.”
Nolan has dropped a clue that his brother Jonathan is writing the script for the third movie. Jonathan was the writer behind “The Dark Knight”.
