I'm not sure I'm getting you. I think it could be an interesting movie on its own, but the synopsis and review seemed to indicate that the movie Aronofsky wanted to do had more in common with some 70's revenge flick like Deathwish than it did Batman.
Quote: I read recently that Goyer plotted Dark Knight with Nolan, but he's not writing it (Nolan and his brother are, like in The Prestige). That sounds like a good indication that maybe the second film will be more "Nolanesque".
The less Goyer involvement the better, in my opinion.
