Christopher Nolan was asked to put the Riddler in 'The Dark Knight Rises' before he cracked the story for it.
“I had a pact with Chris Nolan,” Bale said at the time. “We said, ‘Hey, look. Let’s make three films, if we’re lucky enough to get to do that. And then let’s walk away. Let’s not linger too long.’ In my mind, it would be something if Chris Nolan ever said to himself, ‘You know what, I’ve got another story to tell.’ And if he wished to tell that story with me, I’d be in.”
Elsewhere during his “Happy Sad Confused” interview, Goyer confirmed reports that he advocated for Jake Gyllenhaal to be cast as Batman over Christian Bale. Although he noted, “Bale is amazing.” He also remembered the head of Warner Bros. personally asking him to put the Riddler in “The Dark Knight Rises” and have Leonardo DiCaprio play him. Riddler was previously played by Jim Carrey in Joel Schumacher’s “Batman Forever” .
“After ‘The Dark Knight,’ the head of Warner Bros at the premiere said, ‘You got to do the Riddler. Leo as the Riddler. You got to tell Chris, Leo as the riddler.’ And that’s not the way we work.” Goyer said that Nolan and him never picked villains first. Instead they would crack the story of Batman for each film and pick the corresponding villain to match that story. Bane was selected for “The Dark Knight Rises” as the film wrestled with Batman’s age and physicality after the more intellectual warfare of Joker in “The Dark Knight.”
As for their trilogy ending, Goyer said “yeah for sure” when asked if Joseph Gordon Levitt’s police officer John Blake takes up the role of Batman after the events of “The Dark Knight Rises.” The film ended with John entering the Batcave, leaving the door open for his Batman tenure to begin.Read More About:
