The Problem With Big Films

Movie Logistics Never Really Allow You To Do Anything But Shoot The Way The Budget Dictates.

There's Very Few Directors I Think In This Industry That Would Pitch To A Studio That They Wanted To Do A Multi-layered Almost At Times Existential High Action, High Drama Surreal Film That's Sort Of Locked In His Mind. And Then Have An Opportunity To Do That.

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.

It's Not That Often That You Get To Have A Large Commercial Success And Then Have Something That You Want To Do That You Can Excite People About.
