i've loved batman since i was a kid the story is a very psychological one he's basically
coping with things that happened to him as a child and he's driven to try
and make sense of his life what i'm doing is my family's legacy
matt didn't show me a script or anything but just kind of said the tone and it sounded quite
radically different from anything we've seen about my movies before
i don't think i've ever worked with someone who pays attention to detail like him
i didn't want to do an origin tale because i felt that we had seen
the origin tale done more than once i wanted him to not have figured out
how to be batman yet and i wanted to make him the world's greatest detective the killer left
this for the batman why is he writing to you the origin is dc detective comics just
takes us back to the core of what batman is and what gordon is any of this mean anything to you
i wanted him to use that phrase that is in so many of the comics i'm vengeance because this
is a personal mission but there is a dark side to this idea of vengeance batman's very much about
the psychological investigation of a character that is caught in his own moral maze he outmatches
these people because he's fighting a stranger as if they have personally harmed him i think in a
way he's imagining that these are the people who killed his parents like every single one of them
it's not about black and white it's not about good and evil there's just
so much in the gray gotham is a really really scary place and so all of that
as a world is incredibly rich for a filmmaker watch it fellas you got the prince of the city
there is a very rich very protected and revered history to this character of batman and to this
world of gotham and these criminals i think matt has put all of himself into the script
in this film i think he's got a lot of him in there i've got a lot of me in there yet
it's the batman it's the riddler the batman story has endured for for 80 years he doesn't
have superpowers what he has is a super heroic drive to try to make the world better
3 2 1.
your secret friend what does a liar do when he's dead
any of this mean anything to you i've been trying to reach you
riddler's asking for you normally batman seems to hold all the strings the plan is entirely his but
unless batman's quite often on the back foot he's still trying to figure out exactly what batman is
the city streets are crowded for the holiday even with the rain hidden in the chaos
is the element waiting to strike like snakes bastard murders you and your reputation maybe
he's not who you thought you make it sound like he had it coming seeing the batman
was probably one of those transcendent moments in his life without the batman who would never
have the riddler i hope you're listening gotham the hell are you supposed to be
the riddler lends itself to allowing us to go back to the origins of the batman
which is dc it's detective comics
wanted to see a batman that was challenged by these crimes who was a little bit in a free fall
the riddler is more similar to him than bruce would like to really admit it's extremely
troubling the only difference in a lot of ways is that the riddler follows through and his justice
is fatal i felt that this idea of putting on masks and hiding your identity for people that the power
would come from that i'm just an instrument here to unmask the truth unmet you're part of this too
the riddler seems to know secrets about batman and bruce that even bruce didn't
know so it's a very reactive version of batman that i don't think we usually get
what a great look behind the scenes here that we got with matt reeves in the batman even on
in the batmobile himself you know which was really cool as well as even getting a look at paul dano's
the riddler the last time we saw the riddler it was played by jim carrey and it was a little bit
more comical so i'm excited to see it in such a serious way and treating him with all the
mysteries and all that stuff in like a way like the movie seven um but i'm just so happy
about this film uh coming out and uh just breaking records in so many ways uh did you know uh comment
down below but did you know uh that other parts of the world they were not sure whether or not to
call it a type of pg-13 type or a um more of a hard r kind of uh batman movie let me know
