David S. Goyer

David S. Goyer previously collaborated with Christopher Nolan on the mega-hit "Dark Knight" trilogy, starting with the screenplay for "Batman Begins," which successfully brought the iconic character back to his origins. Goyer went on to team with Nolan on the story for the billion-dollar blockbuster "The Dark Knight," for which they received a Writers Guild of America Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, followed by the story's conclusion in "The Dark Knight Rises."

Goyer has earned a reputation for telling character-driven stories adapted from the otherworldly realms of superheroes, fantasy and the supernatural. His breakout came in 1998 when he wrote the action hit "Blade," starring Wesley Snipes, based on the Marvel Comics vampire hunter who is, himself, half-vampire. He then wrote 2002's "Blade II," on which he also served as an executive producer. In 2004, he directed, wrote and produced the last of the trilogy, "Blade: Trinity."

In 2002, Goyer made his feature film directorial debut with the drama "ZigZag," for which he also wrote the screenplay, based on the acclaimed novel by Landon Napoleon. His other directing credits include "The Invisible," starring Justin Chatwin and Marcia Gay Harden, and the hit supernatural thriller "The Unborn," based on his own original screenplay and starring Odette Annable and Gary Oldman. In addition, Goyer recently signed on to direct an adaptation of the classic revenge tale The Count of Monte Cristo.

In addition to screenwriting, Goyer made his debut in video games with the story for the smash hit "Call of Duty: Black Ops," and penned the story for its blockbuster follow up, "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2." His love of comic books also led to a four-year stint actually writing one for DC Comics. He is a co-writer of The Justice Society, which was one of DC's biggest hits.
