BATMAN BEGINS 2

According to Empire Online, director Christopher Nolan talked about his meeting with Warner Brothers exec Jeff Robinov. "I have marched into his office and I have told him what David Goyer and I think the story is, and they seem to like it a lot. I think the success of Batman Begins, in my terms, in it being a film that I wanted it to be, is very much due to a collaboration with the studio. It wasn't really one or the other telling the other what it should be, so I think he's poking fun."

Meanwhile, Batman-On-Film has a tidbit about Nolan and Goyer time commitments, a rumored release date (June 20, 2008), and signing up any prospective actors for the Joker and Harvey Dent for nothing less than a two picture deal.
