Way back in 2008 during the junket for “The Dark Knight” MTV News had a chance to discuss Nolan’s philosophy on the genre of comic book movies and whether the film was a superhero movie or just a movie that happens to have superheroes.

This week’s announcement of Christopher Nolan’s involvement in the newly rebooted Warner Brothers “Superman” franchise has reinvigorated the interest in seeing another Man of Steel flick come to the big screen. With one massively successful DC reboot under the director’s belt, it’s clear that the studio hopes that Christopher Nolan still has the Midas touch.
While the terms of his tutelage still remain vague as to how it will affect the franchise moving forward, fans might be able to get an idea of what to expect based on Nolan’s previous cinematic works. Way back in 2008 during the junket for “The Dark Knight” MTV News had a chance to discuss Nolan’s philosophy on the genre of comic book movies and whether the film was a superhero movie or just a movie that happens to have superheroes.
“I think of it as a film that just exists in the cinematic realm,” said Nolan, “I don’t think of it as a comic book movie or just a comic book movie — and that’s something that in the whole process — where from the screenwriting point of view or the production point of view and with all departments and everything we would never let people off the hook with the notion ‘it’s a comic book movie.’”
“We just tried to make a movie that stands as a movie,” he added. “The fact that it happens to be based on a long history of this comic book character I think is irrelevant — I think it’s on us to make a great movie and not rely on the fact that it’s a comic book movie or excuse certain things because it’s a comic book movie. We didn’t want to do either; we just wanted to make as great of a movie that we possibly could.”
