 Christopher Nolan is talking about leaving Batman behind.

 “…you definitely get a lump in your throat thinking that, ‘OK, this is the last time we’re going to be doing this.’ It’s been quite a journey. Hopefully, reflecting that journey – by all of us who made the films – in the three films together will make it so there they have a real span to them, some real heft” the Director tells Los Angeles Times Hero Complex.

After a recent press screening of The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan says he welcomes the Batman fan mania for what it represents.

“It reminds you that it’s an honor to work on something that means so much to people.”
