Nolan Talks Joker, BATMAN 3 Posted by: Jett Monday, October 27, 2008 11:01 AM TEXAS TIME: More from Chris Nolan's interview with the LATIMES.COM.... ON WARNER BROS.' DESIRE TO SCHEDULE "BATMAN 3": "They’re [Warner Bros. - Jett] being extremely gracious. I have a very good relationship with the studio. They know that I really needed to go on holiday and take some time to figure what I want to do next. They’ve been very respectful of that, which is terrific and one of the reasons I enjoy working with Warner Bros." ON JUSTICE LEAGUE WITH THIS BATMAN: "I don’t think our Batman, our Gotham, lends itself to that kind of cross-fertilization....we took the position -- we didn’t address it directly in the film, but we did take the position philosophically -- that superheroes simply don’t exist." ON HEATH LEDGER GETTING AN OSCAR NOMINATION: "I think the thing that has always been important to me in light of Heath’s death is the responsibility I’ve felt to his work. The responsibility of crafting the film in such a way that his performance came across the way he intended. Clearly, that has been the case. That’s one of the reasons I take such pride in the film. I felt a great wave of relief, really, as people first started to see the performance and it was clear that they were getting the performance. It’s easy to forget with everything that’s happened what an enormous challenge it was for Heath to take on this iconic role. He rose to that challenge so admirably that any expression of people being excited or moved by his performance is a wonderful thing. Whatever form that takes. People coming to see his performance and getting it. It's been extremely satisfying for all of us already. Anything that adds to that would be wonderful."
