It's Not That Often That You Get

I Never Meet Anybody Who Actually Likes The Format, And It’s Always A Source Of Great Concern To Me When You’re Charging A Higher Price For Something That Nobody Seems To Really Say They Have Any Great Love For.

But, In Each Case, As A Filmmaker Who's Been Given Sizable Budgets With Which To Work, I Feel A Responsibility To The Audience To Be Shooting With The Absolute Highest Quality Technology That I Can And Make The Film In A Way That I Want.

What Drew Me To Batman In The First Place Was Bruce Wayne's Story, And That He's A Real Character Whose Story Begins In Childhood. He's Not A Fully Formed Character Like James Bond, So What We're Doing Is Following The Journey Of This Guy From A Child Who Goes Through This Horrible Experience Of Becoming This Extraordinary Character. That, For Me, Became A Three-part Story. And Obviously The Third Part Becomes The Ending Of The Guy's Story.

I Believe Movies Are One Of The Great American Art Forms And The Shared Experience Of Watching A Story Unfold On Screen Is An Important And Joyful Pastime. The Movie Theatre Is My Home, And The Idea That Someone Would Violate That Innocent And Hopeful Place In Such An Unbearably Savage Way Is Devastating To Me.

The Problem With Big Films Is They Snowball Very Rapidly And You Can Never Pull Back. It's A Pipeline That Needs To Be Fed.
