Batman returns again

The Batman franchise is set for a revival. Warner Brothers Pictures has recruited Memento director Chris Nolan to make a new film about the Caped Crusader.

Nolan, who last directed the Al Pacino film Insomnia, tells trade paper Variety: “All I can say is that I grew up with Batman, I’ve been fascinated by him and I’m excited to contribute to the lore surrounding the character.
