THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY Director Christopher Nolan Recalls His Influence On The Superhero Genre And Whether He’d Return
Few directors have left a legacy on the comic book movie genre as much as Christopher Nolan has. The critically acclaimed writer-director’s The Dark Knight Trilogy is without a doubt one of the best superhero sagas to date, reestablishing Batman’s role in the mainstream. Nolan’s involvement in the DC Universe did not end there, however. He produced Man of Steel, which officially kicked off a DC Cinematic Universe, and he is attached as an executive producer to its follow-up, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Warner Bros. still wanted him to continue his involvement, however, as Nolan was approached not only to produce the Justice League film, but a Batman…

However, Geoff Johns previously denied that the movies and TV shows will be connected, and this was reaffirmed when Ezra Miller was cast as Barry Allen for 2018’s The Flash movie, rather than series star Grant Gustin.

The addition of several characters—both new and familiar—helps keep the show fresh while still propelling the story as we search for who killed Sara and why.

THE FLASH: SPOILER Review 01×04 – “Going Rogue”
The Flash (01×04) – “Going Rogue” Written by: Geoff Johns & Kai Yu Ku Directed by: Glen Winter While the episode opens with a fun test of Barry’s ability to think fast, the story actually starts with a Blackhawk armored car.
