When Batman Begins was released, I really thought there would be no way to top it. It was the perfect Batman movie in my eyes. Then, director Christopher Nolan came back for a second time with The Dark Knight, achieving the impossible by making a movie that is somehow more perfect.

So what if someone who worked on both films, and who will be working on the third, came along and said that The Dark Knight Rises is even better? When asked on the Kevin and Josh Movie Show how Nolan can top The Dark Knight, cinematographer Wally Pfister said, “I read the script 2 weeks ago, and he’s done it. Plain and simple — he’s done it.” Read on for more!

Continuing about The Dark Knight Rises script, Pfister said:

“It’s a phenomenal script. He’s [Nolan] still in the process of cutting it back because it’s a very long script right now, but it’s really phenomenal. And he actually had me go back and wanted me to watch, in IMAX, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight again. When I watched those I had read the script for The Dark Knight Rises and was like, ‘dude, it is a perfect trilogy.’ I think that was his intent, to work off those two pictures — and they are very different pictures. And it’s funny, we all had different opinions about which picture we like better.”

Yeah, I’ll believe it when I see it. To achieve the impossible once was already going against all odds in my opinion. Saying that, Nolan has never made a bad film, so I’m figuring The Dark Knight Rises will probably end up being, at most, as good as what has come before. Of course, all final opinions are reserved for when the film is actually finished and released.

Head on over to Nolan Fans to read more of what Pfister had to say about the third film!

The Dark Knight Rises, directed by Christopher Nolan, stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman. It is slated for release July 20, 2012.
