Christopher Nolan Almost Passed on Making The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight co-writer Jonathan Nolan explains why his brother Christopher was hesitant to make a second Batman movie.

Jonathan stated, “Wouldn’t that be a dream. That period was about 10 years of my life, from when I got the call to work on Batman Begins in 2003 to putting out The Dark Knight Rises In 2012 and it was epic. The chance to work Christian, Heath, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and the extraordinary cast of those films. A sort of American icon. So, if I had the chance to go back and work on that again, absolutely.”

The Dark Knight Trilogy Is Beloved

Christopher Nolan's adaptation of Batman was a massive commercial success and received unanimous critical praise. In Batman Begins, a young Bruce Wayne grapples with the trauma of his parents' murder, which drives him to adopt the persona of a vigilante in a bid to safeguard Gotham City. This decision thrusts him into conflict with the enigmatic League of Shadows, a clandestine organization determined to bring about Gotham's downfall aided by the nefarious Scarecrow and his potent fear-inducing toxin.
