Christopher Nolan: Now Responsible for Batman and Superman

Christopher Nolan: Now Responsible for Batman and Superman

The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan has been a busy man for a while. He’s pumped out one great movie every year or so since 2005, and is now Hollywood’s hottest commodity. That is to say that he’s Warner Bros.’ biggest hired gun at the moment, as he preps his upcoming tentpole Inception for release. And it would appear as if WB is looking for Nolan to be not just the savior of their Batman franchise, but of their Superman frnachise as well.

Video: Batman’s Gonna Get Shot in the Face

I do consider Batman my tie for favorite comic character, tied with Wolverine. So it is really hard to watch this video without getting a little angry, but even harder to watch it and not laugh. Make sure to watch through the credits. It shows Superman and The Hulk picking teams for softball.
