Christopher Nolan may have left the door wide open for speculation at the end of The Dark Knight Rises where Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Gotham cop John Blake is concerned, and he is producer/co-writer on Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, which the rumor mill suggests could see a Very Special Gordon-Levitt cameo. But in a chat with Film Comment about his entire Batman trilogy, Nolan was asked if he was completely done with his Dark Knight universe. So what are the implications for those JG-L rumors?
(Spoilers, if you haven't seen TDKR...)
"For me, The Dark Knight Rises is specifically and definitely the end of the Batman story as I wanted to tell it," Nolan said, "and the open-ended nature of the film is simply a very important thematic idea that we wanted to get into the movie, which is that Batman is a symbol. He can be anybody, and that was very important to us."
I know, I know. Nolan keeps using phrases like "specifically and definitely the end" but it's just so hard to let go of the hope that he's just messing with us. "Nah, J/K you guys — Joe's totes the new Batman!" the geekosphere desperately waits for him to say.
Well, good luck getting anything concrete out of Nolan. I believe him when he says his run with the Batman universe is over, although that doesn't mean it's not possible that Gordon-Levitt might pop up at the end of Man of Steel in a bat-cowl to give Superman a Justice League fist bump. Warner Bros. may love Nolan for giving them a super respectable, arguably Oscar-worthy Batman series, but they're not dumb.
WB will squeeze every drop of Bat-juice out of the character, regardless of how Nolan…
