It has come to light that brothers and Batman writing and directing veterans Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan disagreed initially on who the main villain should be in The Dark Knight Rises.
Jonathan Nolan appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast and discussed how he initially wanted Riddler to be the main villain in The Dark Knight Rises, not Bane. Christopher Nolan and co-writer David S. Goyer wanted the villain to be Bane.
“We had these conversations. Bane came out of a conversation with David [Goyer] and Chris. I was unsure about that at the story stage, but I [didn’t want it to be] back seat driving,” Nolan said. “Chris understood that what we had done and what Heath [Ledger] had done with [Joker]–you didn’t want to go anywhere near it.”
