The fact that Matt wrote the movie with Rob in mind and then Rob started asking about "I hear you're doing a new Batman??" before he was even asked about it is amazing. Meant to be!

The fact that Matt brought up Joel Schumacher when Jake was listing off all the past directors of Batman makes me respect him even more.

@@anons000 I agree a lot of people are over hyping this movie. It borrows heavily from the whole Nolan Trilogy. Steals a scene directly from Marvel Black Panther movie. Batman doesn't even solve the case, Catwoman solves the case. He pretty much helps the Riddler the whole time. And he never catches the Riddler. Not to mention the several unrealistic scenes where Batman goes unconscious and somehow NOBODY tries to take off his mask. The police just carry him to the police station without removing his mask or his utility belt!!! AND the new mayor gets shot in the side and then a few minutes later she is wading in the water with no clear sign of injury and not worried about bandage or wound getting wet. The dialogue between Alfred and Batman was terrible ...the movie was most def FLAWED!

The opening monologue is the best Batman anything. What an extreme vision from Director Matt Reeves. I cannot wait for the sequel.

Soon 40 years of life i am. Movie freak and Batman fan since i was very, very young. Saw this at the cinema alone on the last showing. Mild expectations. This is hands down the best movie i ever saw. I nearly cried at that amazing intro when that light goes that we just barly see... followed by those calm steps that cuts through the noise of the city and gets the thugs attention and we see the Bat... I leaned back cause then i FELT that this would be a ride i would enjoy. I was "moviehigh" for days. You know that meme of escobar looking thoughtful in different places? Yeah that was me.

I love Reeves' explanation of this Batman's compulsion to don the suit and go out into the night, reliving the death of his parents over and over. It's almost as if he holds all of Gotham responsible for their deaths, and the only way to exact revenge is by pulverizing the entire city one criminal, crooked cop, mob boss, and supervillain at a time.

Saw it last night, and an hour in, my daughter leans over and says “Best Batman film ever?” and I told her “Maybe”. By the end of the film, I can comfortably say Yes. I really loved it. I’ve been waiting for a more detective Batman film, and Matt Reeves nailed it. I can’t wait for more.

I love that it’s a dark character. We already have 27 MCU movies with a lighter action comedy tone. We also already have other DC properties going for lighter tones moving forward like Shazam! And Aquaman. I think the darker aspects of the character and the world are one of the biggest reasons my friends/family who otherwise don’t watch superhero movies are still interested in watching the new Batman movie.

I would say the opposite...that fans are over hyping this movie... I think it is a great movie.. but nowhere close by to Nolan's Trilogy... I would even put it below Burton's first Batman movie. I think the fans of this movie are overlooking serious flaws in this movie and over inflating the positives.. it is not the worst Batman movie but it is definitely not TDK! The Riddler character was heavily influenced by Bane from TDKR.

Great interview with Reeves!! So cool to hear how they do some of those amazing shots and I had no idea they could do so much planning on VR. Neat! I also really enjoyed the “peek behind the curtain bits” where the boys talk about their jobs too!

This is hands down THE BEST interview with Matt Reeves I've seen! Just the level of detail and behind the scenes info he gives in every answer had me geeking out just as hard as you guys, lol. Thank you for this episode.

You should get Greg Frasier and talk about his cinematography on Batman after he grabs an Oscar for Dune. I just wanted to find out if the trailer shot of car rolling down the street was cg or all in camera?

Matt gives the best answers I've ever heard from a director.

This interview just show why I love Matt Reeves so much as a director! He knows want and he understands the characters so much! I really would like them to go past a trilogy and do at least 6!

I totally agree with Jake's review. I walked out of the movie totally unsure of how I felt about the movie. But it's been several days since I've watched it and I can't stop thinking about it.

Matt really is the goat, amazing director and just a fan of filmmaking that equals the perfect director for Batman.

Matt really gets Batman I hope Iam not alone in thinking this!

Matt is an awesome filmmaker. I personally thought The Batman was truly fantastic. Well acted and for the most part well executed.

I agree- Roger got “softer” in his years after Gene died, and I loved him for it. He brought an Everyman humanity to his review that was missing before. Watch his Batman Begins review. I’ve not sure he gives that same review before Siskel’s death. Greatest film critic of all time.

Really cool to hear that they used 3D sets beforehand and took screengrabs from those sets. this is actually a technique that's been used in action animation for a long time now. saves lots of time and money

the inside convo was very interesting to me. keep opening the curtain pls!

What a great Interview with Matt Reeves, great inside!

I loved this film a lot, saw it twice now.probably seeing it two more times in theatres even though I agree with a lot of the criticisms. The vibe of this universe just grabs me so much that I cannot wait to see how they evolve all the characters in the rest of this trilogy. It really leaves a lot on the table for it to be (not right now but after a full trilogy) the best batman trilogy weve seen so far. Not necessary the movies individually but the overarching story as a whole.

Matt Reeves walking into this interview looking like Gordon from the 90s Batman cartoon lol. Awesome interview. Can’t wait to see what he does in the next film.

Matt seems like a sound lad, 10/10 would talk about batman with him

Haters can hate all they want but Matt Reeves delivered in my eyes!

*Matt Reeves is wrong* *This is an excerpt from the book Batman and Psychology written by Dr. Travis Langley* "...Taking up a cause when inspired by a loved one’s death and making it one’s life’s work does not mean the person is mentally ill. Batman channels his grief for his parents into the campaign their deaths inspired, but he’s not alone in that regard. Real-world social superheroes, individuals whose misfortunes push them to levels of social activism that touch so many lives, find new purpose in life and make their losses meaningful by striving to keep others from suffering the same. They may follow their new purposes by raising public awareness of the problems, pushing for stricter laws and tougher penalties, lobbying for indirect deterrents like alcohol taxes, or even pursuing perpetrators.Outraged over the lenient sentence leveled against the drunk driver who killed her daughter in a hit-and-run, Candace Lightner made a vow, promising herself “that I would fight to make this needless homicide count for something in the years ahead,” and went on to found Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD, later renamed Mothers Against Drunk Driving)" There are several people in our real world who become social activists and take up real world issues in the wake of a terrible tragedy. This is what Bruce did too.

👍great opening question. It’s going to be a really interesting hour or so. Let’s go!
