The Dark Knight Story Direction

David Goyer has spilled a bit on the direction The Dark Knight will be taking in a recent interview with MTV:

“The last scene of Batman Begins tells you where things are going to go in the next movie. That was very intentional. We paved the way. For people interested in where the next movie is going to go, watch that scene again.”


I don’t know about you, but I’ll be popping in my Batman Begins DVD and skipping to that last scene. :-)

He also added:

“Escalation [is the theme of The Dark Knight]. Escalation is certainly [the biggest theme].”

Somehow I don’t get the feeling this Batman sequel will be light entertainment. As creepy as Scarecrow was in the first film, I think Goyer and Nolan are going to trump that with the next movie.

  • Batman Begins is one of those rare super hero movies that could stand as a film in its own right, outside of any genre. Christian Bale is an extremely watchable actor (Equilibrium lies alongside my DVD player at all times) and can only take Batman to further inner character depths and consolidate the franchise as an ADULT movie-going experience.

    I am just plan exited about "Most" of the Comic to Film movies. The days of playing it safe is over. The days of building the characters are here. This is what story telling is all about.

    Iron Man, Batman, Silver Surfer (yes I said it), Spiderman, Hulk (separate from that other thing they call a movie), man the list just keeps coming at us.......I can only pray the next Superman movie will follow the “screw the safe path mentality” unlike Sups Returns. Ok I will stop now.

    Yeah, I've got a calm excitement vibe about this one (as opposed to the insane anticipation I have for Iron Man).

  • I'm pumped about it, and can say that BATMAN BEGINS is my favorite comic book movie of all time. I hope THE DARK KNIGHT rocks! Even if they take the Joker and change his origin around from chemicals to a complete psychopath who carves his smile into his face.
