Who the hell are you supposed to be?
How it was initially staged was the guy says, Who are you?
Its not theatrical, he says of the Dark Knights approach in the vengeance scene.
You just want someone to be terrified after it.
A lot of them hes hallucinating and completely dissociating.
That has not really been done so much in the movies.
Hes fully committed to being Batman and hes just not seen by the city at all…
He has no desire to be Bruce in this and he wants to just throw it away.
But he also thinks theres a part of Bruce that just enjoys the violence.
Youre going out every night fighting.
You have to like it to some degree.
But the suit also had to fit the films grounded aesthetic.
He was also thinking of Paul Dano while creating his version of the Riddler.
[Paul] is such an inventive actor.
He and I are similar in a certain way in that our process is to go on a search.
But there was an even more grotesque, real-world inspiration for this Riddler.
[Zodiac] made a costume that, frankly, isnt so different from Batman.
And it was utterly terrifying to think that somebody did that.
And I thought, well, maybe theres an iteration of the Riddler that does that.
Theres also Selina Kyle, who is played by Zoe Kravitz.
Like in the comics, Kravitzs Catwoman is a master thief who blurs the line between villain and antihero.
There are only bad people and theres only total innocence.
Theres no one in between at all.
And then Selina comes along and it throws this massive wrench in his worldview.
Hes constantly trying to put her into the box of being a criminal.
Alan J. Pakulas neo-noirKluteheavily informed Bruces relationship with Selina, according to Pattinson and Reeves.
The film earned Fonda her first Academy Award for Best Actress.
And yet he cant help but be drawn to her and he cant help but be affected by her.
Hes putting himself above her only to discover that hes deeply connected to her.
Pattinson and Kravitz arent quite there yet, but there could be a future for them.
Theres just this great undeniable heat between them.
But even three major villains arent enough forThe Batman.
After all, whats a noir without some mobsters?
John Turturro plays Carmine Falcone, who runs the biggest criminal empire in Gotham.
Its through him that we meet infamous gangster Oswald Cobblepot.
InThe Batman, Oz hasnt quite yet become the Penguin we know and love.
Oswald is played by an unrecognizable Colin Farrell, who dove right into the role.
Hes the most entertaining.
So youre like, Jesus Christ, this is a whole meal of a character.
Year Three?
A disaster of almost Biblical proportions awaits Gotham in the form of a great flood.
Its a moment inspired by Scott Snyder and Greg CapullosZero Year, Reeves confirms.
I looked at the Neal Adams stuff and then I read a ton of the Scott Snyder run.
All of a sudden, Batman doesnt know his city as well as he thinks he does.
He thinks hes kind of built it.
But Pattinson knows this is an illusion.
InThe Batman, Bruce has to learn that the hard way.
The Batmanopens in theaters on March 4.
