Chris Nolan talks Batman, Superman

You. Shush. Christopher Nolan is talking. When you've made two awesome Batman movies, then you can talk. In the meantime, shut your word-hole and hear what the man has to say. It's about superheroes!
It's rare that Christopher Nolan opens his mouth to the press; usually when he does, every word is pained over and twisted until we end up with stories like 'Chris Nolan won't say if he'll direct Batman 3'. The man is held in such high-esteem, he can actually create anti-news.
Strange, then, that Nolan has been particularly forthcoming to the LA Times, who wagged chins with the director about his two major irons in the fire: Batman and Superman.
Frustratingly, there's still scant detail to prey upon, but Nolan hints at a promising conclusion to his Batman trilogy and a tantalising new beginning for Superman. Speaking of his sequel to The Dark Knight, Nolan said:
"My brother has come up with some pretty exciting stuff. Unlike the comics, these thing don't go on forever in film and viewing it as a story with an end is useful. Viewing it as an ending, that sets you very much on the right track about the appropriate conclusion and the essence of what tale we're telling."
The matter of The Man Of Steel is a different kettle of Kryptonine. Nolan, who confirms that he won't direct the Superman reboot but will mentor its production, has revealed that writer David Goyer (spellcheck suggestion: David Goyter) is taking Kal-El in an exciting new direction.
So, Batman still on track, Superman will be a bit different. And that, folks, is how you write 500 words without actually saying anything new at all. Anti-news. The bastard.
