Though he wasn’t obligated to do so, he gave the studio first crack at his spec script Inception, and Warner Bros was able to buy it before other studios even got a sniff. While Nolan completes that Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer for a July 16th release, he's also hatched an idea for Warner Bros' third Batman installment. Now his brother and frequent collaborator Jonathan "Jonah" Nolan, and David Goyer who co-wrote Batman Begins and penned the story for The Dark Knight, are off scripting it.

I agree that he's much better when writing with the Nolans, but I still think his involvement in writing should be kept to a minimum. He knows his comics when it comes to Batman, but his knowledge doesn't translate into writing skill.

Well, if this is true, then Nolan's found his story :clap:

Well, Nikki Finke is a credible source in Hollywood. She was the one to break the news that Sony would reboot the Spider-Man franchise.

Even in Batman Begins, I red somewhere (I think in a EW interview), Jo help his bro in the writing despite the fact that he isn't in the credits.
Maybe Goyer and Jo are starting with a first draft but, in the end, I think will be Chris who take in charge.
How wrong you are. David Goyer wrote the first draft of Batman Begins with Chris Nolan's input. Then Chris rewrote the script for the final draft.

You can read Goyer's draft here: http://www.google.it/url?sa=t&source=we ... hkawrwIPZg

On the other side, Goyer co-wrote the story for The Dark Knight with Christopher Nolan, while the actual script was written by Jonathan Nolan and (later rewritten by) Chris Nolan.
Do you know what it means "credits"? Do you. Maybe he collaborate with the writing, like I said, but the credits were to the Nolans. It could be a reason for that.

I agree with that.
Batman begins / TDK :thumbup: Vs. Blade/ The Unborn / Jumper :thumbdown:

Can you see the difference?

Did YOU READ the freakin' credits for Batman Begins?

Screenplay by Christopher Nolan and DAVID S. GOYER - He was credited for co-writing the screenplay of Batman Begins, and got a story credit for The Dark Knight.

So he co-wrote the script of Batman Begins (and was credited for it) with Christopher Nolan. And it seems he's co-writing the script for Batman 3 with Jonah Nolan.

It wouldn't suprise me :D
