Christopher Nolan's sadness and pride at end of Batman saga with The Dark Knight Rises

The London-born filmmaker, who stepped behind the cameras once again for The Dark Knight Rises, said: "I've been working on Batman for almost ten years. It has been incredible and it has definitely been a journey.

"Now it's over and I leave it with a certain amount of sadness."

Speaking in a premiere interview, Nolan adds: "We were all very excited to bring this tale full circle. That was our chief inspiration for returning to Gotham.

"It has been an extremely gratifying experience. We are very proud of this ending, and we hope the audience shares our excitement."

And the filmmaker is only too aware that Warner Bros will be keen for more Batman movies in future, which will require another director to deliver their own version of the caped crusader.

He told Empire: "When I first met with Paul Levitz of DC Comics prior to Batman Begins, he explained to me clearly that Batman, of all superheroes, has thrived on reinterpretation and almost is strengthened by it.

"I'm talking about over the years in the comic books but also in the movies.

"So whenever someone does whatever the next iteration of the character is, they simply need to be true to whatever it is they want to see, to what they believe in, not worry too much about what everyone else is telling them it should be."
