The Greatest News of All Time!!


By now you may have heard that Director Christopher Nolan, the man behind “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight” is moving forward with Batman 3. Nolan recently came up with the story idea, the details of which can be expected to be kept under wraps for a long time. His brother Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer, writers of the previous films, have been charged with writing a first draft while Nolan finishes this summer’s “Inception.” A collective sigh of relief among the Batman faithful can be heard sweeping the nation.

Added to this awesomeness is the fact that Nolan will be a “Godfather” of development for a new Superman film. Does this mean we’ll see the two heroes team up at some point? Will Brandon Routh Return? Who will direct? All in know is my inner geek is very happy.

For a more in depth discussion of this amazing news tune into The Filmdogs Podcast later this week where we’ll do a whole lot of speculating. It should be alot of fun.
