I’m sick of movie fans and the media thinking that Christopher Nolan is all about the Batman movies. It seems like that’s all fans want Christopher Nolan to do is Batman movies all the time.

This is why Nolan took a break from Batman and brought us the sci fi action movie, “Inception” that stars Leo…so he can show us what he can do outside of Batman.

To those of you who are new to Christopher Nolan’s work, check out his earlier films. Films like “Memento”, “Insomnia”, and “The Prestige” are all fantastic movies. Check out those movies if you’ve never seen them before.

“Memento” is a crime thriller that stars Guy Pearce, it’s a backwards movie, it starts with the ending and then goes backward to the beggining. “Insomnia” is a remake of a Canadian film that stars Al Pacino and Robin Williams, it’s about two LAPD cops who investigate a murder of a little girl in Alaska. “The Prestige” is a movie that stars Hugh Jackman and it’s a movie about magicians, it also has a small scene with David Bowie.

Give those films a rent, and you would see exactly how Warner Bros. hired Nolan to bring us the Batman flicks. Nolan is not going to stay on the Batman franchise forever, the man’s going to move on to do other movies at some point just like Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher did. I think Nolan will do a few more Batman flicks and then he’ll be done.

As long as people think Nolan is all about Batman movies, then that just proves that the guy is the best at directing the Batman franchise, so that’s actually a compliment.

It would be nice if movie fans would appreciate his work though. If people think that Christopher Nolan is only Batman all the time, then they are no true movie buffs. A true movie buff would know all of the directors work.

I’m looking forward to that “Inception” movie, although it looks a bit too Matrixy, it looks like a fun action film. Leo’s done action movies before, this isn’t his first one.
