It might be the weekend already but I figured it was perfect time to post this ridiculous rumor that has been circulating the web. IESB who has been claiming some large stories lately has the biggest rumor of the week. I think this total fiction until Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment comment. While the Nolan fan inside me wants him to direct every film this seems too good to be true.
They're saying that Jonah Nolan will make his directorial debut on The Man of Steel. There have been previous rumors of Christopher Nolan producing/shepherding the new Superman project. If his brother is his protege I would expect Christopher would be highly involved in helping Jonah, possibly co-directing. It would be beyond crazy for Warner Bros. to gamble on a first time director. Jonah might be an excellent writer he has yet to prove himself as a director to handle a $100-200 million dollar film. While this one is bizarre if all the rumors turn out true with Goyer and both Nolans being involved it could work if done properly.
The crazy part of IESB's rumor is that they believe Christopher Nolan will be helming the Justice League film. Of course this would be happening after he tackles Batman 3. There are so many things wrong with this story. The biggest issue I have is that he puts out successful original films. Christopher isn't someone I could see wanting to do more comic book films when he has so many original projects that he could be working on. Logically I'm sure Warner Bros. could be eager to get Nolan involved with the rest of the Justice League member films. The only way I could believe this is if WB has deals with Nolan financing a set number of his original projects. Which like Inception ($250 million) could be very costly to the studio. Another issue is that Batman isn't exactly in the same universe as Green Lantern and Superman. The Nolan-universe is set in reality which isn't common for the comic book genre. The characters might be theatrical in their costume choices but they don't have super powers.
