When they talk about how this film has identity and artistry, it’s amazing what happens when a director is allowed to do his job instead of having talentless corporate studio hacks breathing down his neck all the way to post production, huh? Stay on your lane, WB, do what you do well and let the directors fucking direct from here on out.
@Alexander Angelus oh oh..another snyder fanboy here. look, wb gave us the matrix, madmax fury road, harry potter, nolan's batman, gunn's suicide squad, etc etc. in all these cases the studio trusted the filmmakers to do what they wanted and the filmmakers repaid the trust in kind. wb let snyder play in dceu THREE f-ing times. he botched the first two times with mediocre to dismall films and even then wb let snyder do justice league, which he botched again(a 4 hour movie is never going to play in cinema!). wb gave snyder THREE chances. feige would let a director go if he/she fails to impress in mcu sandbox just ONCE. u fanboys gotta learn sooner or later that the sorry state of dceu now is not because of studio interference but everything with a studio trusting the wrong director. wb was duped by a hack director thinking he was a visionary, just like u snyder fanboys are duped.
@@ianw0ng Thank you Thank you Thank you for saying this. Snyder fans seem to forget that this is one of the absolute greatest movie studios ever in film history who knows what they are doing. We’re mistakes made…..yes…..and some of that was on the part of WB executives. And there is plenty of blame to go around. But did Snyder himself also have a lot of fault in what happened with the tone of characters being off and the writing and true comic book essence of characters such as Superman just being all wrong in his films mainly BvS…..yes that was Zack Snyder’s fault. Not the studio. Having Superman NOT being a beacon of hope AT ALL in BvS…..Those were his decisions and his alone and his fans and he himself need to own that. Smfh they just make any excuse to defend him and shit on WB smh.
@@ianw0ng His DCEU films again mainly BvS just didn’t perform up to expectations and it was bcuz of writing and decisions on characters that did not fit who they were at their core in the source material. Plain and simple. And Zack and his toxic fans need to own that and stop acting like WB just interfered and screwed up his plans. Remember that Comic-Con where Zack announced that BvS was happening and the audience went nuts…..well Zack said right then and there that it was HIS IDEA to have Batman face off against Superman when you had not yet established this new Batman AT ALL. So no…..the studio did NOT force Batman into the movie. That was Zack’s idea. Go back and watch that Comic-Con and see the truth
@@ianw0ng The only thing I would disagree with you on is that he’s not a hack. I actually think he is a good director. Personally I think Watchmen and Man of Steel are two of the greatest comic book movies ever. But I just think he is given too much freedom and doesn’t have enough respect for source material and therefore doesn’t care to stick to the essence of who characters are supposed to be on screen. Like that fan event he did where he trashed all of us who say Batman shouldn’t kill cuz that’s crucial to who he is in the comics. Zack said we were childish and needed to grow up. Smfh again no respect and therefore he needs to be reigned in when doing a comic book film. Too much freedom was his problem imo
The Academy doesn't like to award multiple Oscars in succession (unless you're Pixar), so I don't think he'll get two... but with Dune and Batman he's certainly guaranteed a win.
For Dune he sure will win but for Batman, perhaps just a nomination would be amazing! Considering Oscars sometimes overshadow cinematography of blockbuster film but hope we can get a TDK moment!
This movie is incredibly well cast, and though I know there were some doubts originally about some cast members, I think everyone suits their roles perfectly, particularly Paul and Jeffrey. Literally when they announced Jeffrey as Gordon I was like “yep, that’s 100% Gordon.” Idk how to even explain it but he just has the right vibe.
Dano doesn't seem like someone who would bullshit. I feel like he'd be more likely to be pretty quiet during a press junket if he wasn't all that enamored with the movie he just did. So his effusive praise could be a very good sign.
Jeffrey is wright is right because marvel has been making these films for so long and they all in a way feel the same this movie is very different than what people are used to. I know for me it was amazing to watch since it didn't even feel like a traditional superhero movie
This is such an underrated film. The whole singular idea, by Matt Reeves, that this is a man who is unhinged and unhealthily obsessed with fighting the criminal element at night who is constantly beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and with his unlimited amount of vast resources at his disposal. All he sees in the criminal element, in this corrupt town that his family helped to build and found dating back to the late 1800s, are the people who killed his parents as a young child making him an orphan. So, he dons the mantle of that which he fears the most, in the form of the Batman, after training for the majority of his life to rid his city of the evil that took his parent's lives. He dosen't know who was responsible for killing Thomas and Martha Wayne so every criminal he sees, to him, is the criminal that killed his parents on that fateful night when he was only 10 years old. He is addicted to this mission, like a drug, so as both Bruce and Batman, he spends all of his time, trying to succeed in this impossible task he has set up for himself. That's why he never sees the light of day as Billionaire Bruce Wayne and is a social outcast and pariah. He is a man driven by vengeance; by revenge. By the end of this journey, as we see Bruce on a physical, mental, emotional and psychological level and transform from a young, naive, impatient man who makes mistakes still early in his career as a crime fighter we see him then become something else by the end...a symbol of hope, an ideal, a form of inspiration that makes criminals terrified to step out at night and commit their atrocities that makes Gotham City one of the worst places to call home. A city with a history and a foundation steeped in corruption and crime that ties back to the Wayne family and and their vast fortune. It also plants the seeds that will give him the inspiration to step out in the light of day to transform into the billionaire, playboy industrialist more interested in dating models and driving fast cars in order to hide in plain sight so no one would be able to distinguish Bruce Wayme is actually the Batman. A man consumed by vengeance who transforms into a symbol of hope. Obviously a film inspired by the comic book mythos and Arkham video game series and Batman animated series from the 1990s. Ironically, a film consisting of character arc transformations and worldbuilding moments that is actually one of the most faithful Batman comic book movies to the original source material in the 1940s. Such as Detective comics issue 27 from 1937 and batman issue 1 in 1940 created by Bob kane, Bill finger and Jerry Robinson. Then, the new 52 comics such as court of owls and Zero year by tomeu morey, john ottley, Jim lee, Scott Snyder. Batman year one by jim lee, David Mazuchelli and Frank miller as well as Batman: the long halloween and Batman: ego and other tales. This essay is lterally just scratching the surface of why it's actually one of the best batman films yet up their woth the likes of the Dark knight from 2008.
Finally after 3+ years of self isolation from all pop culture news for The Batman, I'm proud to say that this makes my effort way worthy! Epic. Batman. 🦇 🦇
I think both Villeneuve and Reeves are way better than Nolan (Villenueve is UNMATCHED in terms of visuals). The only thing that Nolan is technically better at is at being more "mainstream".
I love how they putting everything on matt so if the movie was to be bad, which it can't be cuz ye it just can't, everyone comes at matt and not them lol 😂
@@directorliam He said Bruce Wayne multiple times in that scene. Again, he said Bruce Wayne MULTIPLE TIMES. What arent you understanding? Its crystal clear. And if anything he was referring to how they are or arent two different people. Theme of the movie.
@@gagelindell271 Riddler referred to Bruce as “he” not “you” at that moment Batman eased up because he thought he knew. Why do think he looked concerned, looked at the camera, and no one at Arkham or the police then figured out the same. He talks about failing to kill Bruce Wayne and his success with him and Batman “working together”. He was saying Bruce Wayne because he was the one that got away from “us”, the lucky orphan was the son of one of Riddler’s “sinners”.
@@gagelindell271 why do you think Riddler beloved he was working with Batman and trying to kill Bruce Wayne at the same time. Also how could Riddler have possibly known.
It is not upto the cinematographer to decide the look of the movie. It is decided by the director and studio. And knowing marvel, there is no way that he would get that much scope to be creative.
u got actors but u asked them about lighting. these are two very different disiplines, and one usually have no idea how the other works. i know the actors might be tired of answering the same questions all the time and u want to be different, but still... seems to me your questions are better reserved for the cinematographer or matt reeves than for actors.

I won't be surprised if Greg Fraiser wins The Oscar this year for DUNE and next year for The Batman.

@@KillahMate Emmanuel Lubezki won the oscar for three years straight, so it's definitely a possibility

Love Paul Dano’s jacket

Love Jeffrey writes no time to die watch,must of been a gift from the bond producers.
The cinematography looks breathtaking and I can't wait to see it
Jeffrey Wright is a great actor. Really like him in the Jarmusch stuff
Paul Dano!!! I saw him for the first time last month watch there will be blood. This guy has talent. So excited to see what he does.
Watch Prisoners. Thank me later.
@@MrGrimmReaper8 i’d prefer to thank you in advance lol
I can also recommend Little Miss Sunshine and Ruby Sparks if you're interested in seeing him do something lighter but also really well acted 👌
This movie looks like a painting
You are in everyday Batman video I click man 😹😹😹😹
@@soldierofgod7412 lmao just so excited to see this man
I think Godzilla going to fight Batman and riddlers at the same time
@@godzillaeatsushi4979 you forgot mephisto
Can't wait
Neither can we all
Heath Ledger, Robert Pattinson, Paul Dano...
WB really know how to cast heartrob kinda guy and turn them into a very different character!
awesome interviews sir
Seal that Sound, Music, Cinematography and Production Design Oscars nom!
Dano doesn't seem like someone who would bullshit. I feel like he'd be more likely to be pretty quiet during a press junket if he wasn't all that enamored with the movie he just did. So his effusive praise could be a very good sign.
I hope they will show Sal Maroni in the sequel cuz I feel his appearance will expose more backstory
