Los Angeles May 15 (IANS) Filmmaker Christopher Nolan who has helmed the "Dark Knight" trilogy says each of the "Batman" films helmed by him explore a different genre.

"Batman is a superhero but based on ideas of guilt fear these strong impulses that the character has. Bruce Wayne doesn t have any super powers other than extraordinary wealth " Nolan told variety.com.

Nolan says Batman is just someone who does a lot of push-ups.

"In that sense he s very relatable and human. I think that s why I gravitated towards it.

"To me each film is a different genre. They tend to be defined by the villain... We hadn t planned on doing a sequel. So shifting genres and the nature of the antagonist felt the way to take the audience on a journey and tell them something different about Bruce Wayne " he added.
