I knew that Nolan is a big Kubrick fan, but I didn't knew that Kubrick was a Nolan fan. Excellent!

Pretty sure he's messing with you.

Matthew Vaughn

And I was very inspired by what Nolan did with Batman Begins. I'm a big Burton fan, but you see what happened. The first two Burton Batmans were great, but then Schumacher took over and you were just like, "What the fuck is going on?" And they kept making them, and they were getting camper.

And I really enjoyed Batman Begins more than I thought I would when I saw it, especially the first half more than the second half. And I just thought, "Why not try and do the same thing, of putting a realism, and making the characters and the genre of X-Men relevant to a modern-day audience?"

Well... not really, that's why I asked. But it's OK. Good one.

Brad Bird:

“I was more inspired by Chris Nolan’s use of IMAX because he filmed several major set pieces in real old school IMAX. And when I say old school, I mean the film, the 15 perf film, 70mm film horizontally so the frame’s this big on each frame. I thought seeing ‘The Dark Knight’ with several sequences in IMAX was a thrilling way to see that movie and I wanted to have us have that same kind of showmanship.”
