Christopher Nolan told David Goyer to skip the Affleck Batman era: “It’s confused”

It is difficult to imagine the landscape of modern superheroes without the influence of Batman begins. The 2005 restart redefined the character, thanks to the vision on the ground of Christopher Nolan and writer David Goyer.

But while Goyer had a long and complicated story with the DC characters, writing everything from Lama TO Steel manThere is a chapter that has not written: Ben AffleckBatman. According to Goyer, that decision came with a small push by Nolan himself.

By appearing on the Podcast Happy Sad Confused, Goyer looked back to his inheritance with the Caped Crusader and revealed that Nolan gave him a very clear advice after wrapping The dark knight Trilogy: avoid next restart.

He therefore shared that Nolan advised him not to work on the post-Dark Knight Trilogy film set in the new continuity it has introduced Ben Affleck Like the Caped Crusader. “Just because he is confused,” Goyer explained. “We made one, just stay with that.”

Goyer had already helped Warner Bros. Resurrect Batman with Nolan in a singular and autonomous vision. Jump into a completely different version of the character, especially early The dark knight standsI don’t feel well.

Before Batman, Goyer built his name LamaScripting all three films led by Wesley Snipes. He then collaborated in close contact with Nolan to reinvent Batman for a new era.

The success of Batman begins led to credits for history The dark knight AND The dark knight standsAnd from there, Goyer moved to the Superman area with Steel man AND Batman V Superman: Dawn of JusticeA film that introduced Affleck’s Dark Knight into a brand new universe.

While according to what was reported, Goyer had signed an agreement to three images that included Justice LeagueHe ended up taking a step back while other writers took over.

When he was asked to return to the Lama The franchising now developed by Marvel Studios, Goyer has had conflicting feelings.

“All the time on social media, I see [people saying]”They should have Goyer to do the new one Lama“He said.” Part of me thinks it would be fun, but a part of me thinks: “So far I have done the definitive LamaAnd it’s a mistake. ‘”

Today, Goyer is more interested in science fiction narration that does not involve the cloaks. It is profoundly in the production of gender projects such as Foundation AND Murderbot For Apple TV+and its next original project, still in compresses.

Goyer said: “I’m not yet in a comic book place. I have a new project with which I will go to the market with the next month that is not a comic. It is still a genre, but not a comic [based]. “

While the DC universe suffers again another revision below James Gunn AND Peter SafranRemember that the superhero genre is constantly evolving.
