“Well … let me think how to put this. There are two things to be said. One is the emphasis on story. What’s the story? Is there a story that’s going to keep me emotionally invested for the couple of years that it will take to make another one? That’s the overriding question. On a more superficial level, I have to ask the question: How many good third movies in a franchise can people name? [Laughs.] At the same time, in taking on the second one, we had the challenge of trying to make a great second movie, and there haven’t been too many of those either. It’s all about the story really. If the story is there, everything is possible. I hope that was a suitably slippery answer.”
True story: I had lunch with this chick today that has still to see THE DARK KNIGHT. I didn’t know I had a drop-kick reflex but I think the important thing is that you learn something new every day and I learned several, including that nugget, the fastest route to the hospital from Waterloo station, and that even heavy-set chicks that listen to metal have glass jaws.
