Intrigued by the character and story, Nolan approached Warner Bros. in 2003 with the idea to make a Batman film which reflected a classic drama than a comic book story. The biggest project he had undertaken, Batman Begins was a massive commercial and critical success which revived the franchise. It starred Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman. The chance discovery of a secret space program run by a remnant of NASA gives Cooper the opportunity of a lifetime: to join a last-ditch mission to journey through a wormhole in space, touch down on a planet on the other side of the universe, and see whether it could be used as a new home for Earth’s dwindling population.

Cooper finds himself in a room with a bureaucrat who asks him why he released the creatures on earth. It is explained that it was against regulations and that the fractal creatures could not be contained and took over the planet. Earth from space now looks like a glowing mass of ice. Cooper asks to be enrolled in the exploration fleet; the administrator explains that is very unlikely. Most of the positions are for robots, and there are a huge number of trained applicants and very few human positions. Coop asks for a spaceship to go in search of Brand, who has been missing for over 200 human years. Cooper is denied and instead shown a cornfield on the station where he can spend his days. And just like the movie, Cooper steals a ship from the space station hanger and goes in search of Brand.

In the film, Professor Brand has spent his whole life supposedly trying to solve a gravity equation which would allow Earth to launch a space station saving the lives of many people on the planet. The original script never had scientists on earth trying to solve such an issue, and the secret NASA base was not built in a centrifuge space station. But thats not to say that the gravity problem wasn't solved elsewhere...

Denouement: Cooper is a man out of time and realizes he doesn't have much of a place in the world. However, he knows that Brand is still out there somewhere and may need help. Ever the adventurer, Cooper gets in a spaceship and sets out to find his crew mate. Fleming, Michael (June 14, 2006). "Space chase pic on Par launch pad". Variety.
