A lot of people disagree on the ending of The Dark Knight Rises, including the creators of the film Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan. You may recognize Jonathan Nolan as the name linked as the writer to many of Christopher Nolan's most memorable films. From Memento, to The Dark Knight Rises; Jonathan Nolan has had a hand in a great many projects. Over the weekend the writer of The Dark Knight Rises sounded off not only about the ending to the film that drew in over $446 million, but also about his desire to tackle another DC property in the future. In an interview with IGN, Jonathan Nolan revealed that the ending is open to interpretation. Whether the ending was all in Alfred's mind, Jonathan Nolan reveals is up to the viewer to decide.

This goes back to a conversation I once had with my brother many years ago when he first took Memento to the Venice Film Festival, we were having dinner with the cast and crew…and…we realized at that moment, repose, relaxed, after a great response from the audience -- we realized that everyone had a different interpretation of what that film meant. And I've long maintained that if you get to that place, that people are passionate and arguing about what the film meant, that's great, and who am I to put my opinion into the mix. To this day I still disagree about the ending of Memento, so…

As far as putting Robin in the film, Nolan explains that he sees the Batman universe as such a "huge and incredible universe," that they wanted to tell not the complete story of Batman, but their complete story of Batman; and that Robin was a great nod to fans of the franchise since Robin was such a big part of Batman's history for over seventy years of continuity.

However, now with the Batman trilogy behind them, what's next for Jonathan Nolan (and perhaps even his brother Christopher) as far as Warner Brother properties? Christopher Nolan is one of the producers for the upcoming Man Of Steel, but will the pair tackle another DC property after that one? According to Jonathan Nolan, that is a possibility.

DC has got some properties and I would love to take a crack at it at some point.

DC does indeed have a great many number of properties; and it's rather reassuring to find out that Nolan is interested in possibly working on bringing other DC characters to the big screen in the future. The question remains, which ones? What DC character would you like to see the Nolan brothers tackle and bring to the big screen?

I'm suspecting they're going to go to Jonathan Nolan for Justice League...

100 Bullets.

booooorrrriiiinnng.

lets have another director take a crack at a movie with a new character.

Nolans need to do other original projects like Inception, memento etc. where they work best at. TDK trilogoy is one of the most overrated trilogys ever.

and also Johnathon Nolan is an idiot. He said it is up to the viewer to decide if Bruce was alive at the end of the movie. When It is clear that Bruce was alive when they find out that the autopilot worked on the "bat" which means bruce had to have jumped out before the nuke went off.

I think it would have been much more effective if we heard the "Bat" part, and then only saw Alfred's reaction to possibly seeing someone. But yeah, Batman Begins was by far the best "Batman movie", even though the Dark Knight was the best "movie". We still haven't gotten a real Batman movie. Where is the World's Greatest Detective? I've only seen some dude in rubber get duped left and right.

I just peed a little.

THE FLASH.

@zackattack529: F*** you.

Flagged.

so that part with lucious fox being told that the batwings had the autopilot fixed was not implying anything..?

Nolan for Justice League I say! Who's with me??

The Flash, perhaps? :) Or how about Aquaman? That would be cool!

CATWOMAN

A prequel. Doesn't have to involve Batman. One movie is all I need! And any sourpuss who says otherwise is dead in the water as far as arguments go, Anne Hathaway got a presidential endorsement! Ya can't beat that. It's a decree.

NOthing? I would like to see some new DC film, but I don't like what Nolad did to Batman, so I don't want that happen to another beloved character :///

He also made Person of Interest. I'd love to see him do a gritty live action TV Batman show.

The Question or Green Arrow.

Justice League!!! I'm begging you, Brothers Nolan. DO the Justice League the movie!! You guys pushed not ONE but TWO of Batman Films into $1 billionth club; if you can do that, imagine with Justice League reaching the $1 billion club!

I still would love a DC movieverse (like the Marvel movieverse).

anything as long as he doesnt give us anymore stupid its up to viewers type of ending especially for DC movies

I would like a break from the Batman Universe. He should try developing another character. Besides they are rebooting Batman so they shouldn't do another character from a universe that is getting rebooted.

I really want to see a Captain Marvel movie.

Booster Gold!

Would work better as a TV show though.

The Question please!

After sitting through the what, 20 hours Rises went on for, without making sense or being all that interesting I'm going to say no thank you.

The whole DARK KNIGHT RISES ending being open to interpretation kind of falls apart when you have that scene about the autopilot being fixed. That just reinforces that he survived. Which I'm fine with. The ending was appropriate for the story they had created.

@mpierce2690: what is open to interpretation is "What will Blake do ?". He can either become the new Batman or become Robin/Nightwing.

The Question is a great idea for a film or I'd like to see Talon in a tv show with The Court Of Owls as the villains chasing him.

100 Bullets.

Nightwing!

There won't be a justice league for 15 yrs

The Spectre please

I don't think that was open to interpretation at all. He will be the new Batman. The entire movie seemed to be about grooming Blake to become Batman and having him find the Cave was an absolute indication of that. Not sure what that had to do with my comment, but yeah.

JL or superman/batman combo movie or even hawkman using the whole pharoh story and not thanigarian space cop

I could not agree with you more on this.

I'm really hoping for these brothers' edge on the Flash

The Flash or Wonder Woman.

I was happy with the ending. I think there's too many hoops to jump through to read the ending as open to interpretation, as it was with Inception.

But, I'm happy it's not open to interpretation. We've gotten 3 damn good films, and this is supposed to be the end of the trilogy. To have it close and leave us with this "what really happened?" question sounds like it would have been incredibly unsatisfying. I think you can pull off that type of "you, the audience, decides" ending works best in a self contained film. When your talking about three films in, the stakes are raised because the investment has been larger.

Huntress!!! Although...I'm kinda iffy on how he writes women.

A flash movie would be amazing, but maybe they should try a movie about a villain.

oh no. not this guy again. how about someone with talent now?

It's going to be Flash

Hellblazer Please

he should do somthing that would involve deathstroke being the primary villain.

ANY DC CHARACTER, AS LONG AS THEY WRITE IT! :D

Well he shouldn't be allowed to after the travesty that was the final Batman film. Somebody called Robin, please, is this some sort of joke? There's Tim, Richard or Jason to choose from.
