Ah ok, this is the Nolan one. Aronofsky is doing Batman: Year One I think, or has that been shelved? Don't know too much about Batman Begins, but the Year One comic series was great. I wonder how they're going to stop the two from being too similar?
No, Darren Aronofsky was dropped as the director for Batman 5 AKA Batman Begins. Nolan picked it up. Aronofsky is working on the screen-rendering of the Lone Wolf and Cub comic books, and announced Flicker as well.
PS: did you ever see the cast of Batman 5? Trés scary, trés famous names:
Ken Watanabe .... Ra's Al Ghul
Michael Caine .... Alfred Pennyworth
Katie Holmes .... Rachel Dodson
Cillian Murphy .... Dr. Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow
rest of cast listed alphabetically
Christian Bale .... Bruce Wayne/Batman
Morgan Freeman .... Lucius Fox
Liam Neeson .... Henri Ducard
Gary Oldman .... Lt. James Gordon
Ken Wanatabe 's from the Last Samurai
And while I think Nolan could do a good job at catching Batman's typical "dark knight" atmosphere of old, I have some fear that he'll try to add the "Nolan's an alternative director lewl"-touch I have come to fear from him (Memento sucked, for all clarity)...
Goyer's got the script. I really don't like Goyer
