Bosco685 Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 Quote The Batman is not an origin story – not for Robert Pattinson's version of the Caped Crusader, anyway. Director Matt Reeves, though, saw the movie as an opportunity to dig into the origins of those characters around Batman. "Early on, this idea of doing a serial-killer story popped into my head, and I started thinking about superheroes; the idea of wearing costumes," Reeves tells Total Film over Zoom for the new issue of the magazine, available this Thursday. Quote "I read Mindhunter. It made me think of the Zodiac killer, and how he actually wore this primitive costume that really is a primitive superhero costume... a rogues’ gallery costume. And I was like, ‘Oh, that’s really scary, the idea of people really wearing masks, and withholding their identities, and terrorizing people, and how scary that is.’ And so I started thinking, 'Well, it could be an origin tale for the Riddler, and it could be an origin tale for some of these other characters.'" Quote Specifically of the Riddler, who will be played by Paul Dano, Reeves says, "He’s not just a serial killer. He definitely has a political agenda. There’s a terrorist aspect to him. He’s indicting the city for what it is. And one of the things he’s doing with each of these crimes is, he’s attacking the so-called legitimate pillars of the city. The whole point of it was to put [Batman] on the path of trying to solve a mystery that was not only going to reveal the history of the city, and why it’s so corrupt, but that also is going to turn at a point, and become actually quite personal."

To be honest I'd be yelling at anybody standing in the middle of the street taking pictures, although if I knew it was a journalist, probably throw an empty water bottle too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theCapraAegagrus Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Honestly, the Gimp Riddler design may be one of the biggest reasons that I am skeptical of this movie. I kinda hate it right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
