DC Movie News Bits: Nolan Brothers Not Involved In Future DC Movies + Jena Malone Evades Robin Rumor
Acclaimed director Christopher Nolan and his brother, screenwriter Jonathan, both had a key hand in DC’s recent movie success. The two worked on The Dark Knight Trilogy, which grossed nearly $2.5B worldwide and is the most critically acclaimed superhero series to date. Chris also produced the Zack Snyder-directed Man of Steel, which kick-started the DC Cinematic Universe.
