John Turturro as Carmine Falcone Pattinson also added that he was attracted by the idea of a “legacy part”, explaining the attachment to such a character.”There’s so few things in life where people passionately care about it before it’s even happened,” he began.

What to know

I tried to think about it not as Catwoman, but as a woman,” she said. “How does this make me feel? How are we approaching this and how are we making sure we’re not fetishising or creating a stereotype? I knew it needed to be a real person.” Paul Dano as The Riddler He also has a connection to DC Comics adaptations. He portrayed the villainous Hector Hammond in 2011’s Green Lantern. However, in an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Farrell has said that The Penguin may only be in “five or six scenes” of the film.

Reeves knew early on that the film would draw from Batman: The Long Halloween (1996–97) and its sequel Dark Victory (1999–2000) by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, [8] [121] featuring Batman hunting a serial killer who "would reveal this cooperation between the people who are legitimate pillars in the city and the criminal element in the city". [94] He decided to use the Riddler after noting parallels between the character and the Zodiac Killer, a costumed serial killer who operated in California in the 1960s, [14] [94] while reading Mindhunter (1995). [34] Reeves imagined that Batman's investigation would have him encounter other figures from the comic book mythos, leading to the introduction of characters like Catwoman, the Penguin, and Carmine Falcone. [94] However, Reeves sought to ensure that Batman remained the story's focus, and tried to include him in every scene. [21]The Batsuit was designed by supervisor Dave Crossman and concept artist Glyn Dillon over the course of a year. [171] [172] [141] The team took scans of Pattinson's body while he was filming Tenet and used them in reference to concept art drawn by Dillon. They printed out a rough copy of each element after refining it using digital software before it was molded by supervising costume effects modeler Piere Bohmaned. Further modifications were made to each piece until Reeves examined the final suit for approval. The team created over twenty suits for use in filming. [186] The cowl was printed after being sculpted digitally and was created from polyurethane rubber. [187] [186] All of us are working together to create a tone and a language and an energy and a vibe that is specific to our film.” Director Matt Reeves has confirmed that the film wrapped production in mid-March 2021, a year out from its release date. There are no details regarding The Batman 2 plot, but there are a few comic book stories Matt Reeves may utilize, like Death in the Family or Court of Owls.

Another role also looks set to have been filled for the new film – up-and-comer Jayme Lawson is set to play a secret role in the film according to Collider. But overall, The Batman is one of the best takes on the superhero, with a LOT of potential to be better than the Nolan Trilogy. Robert Pattinson is an absolutely incredible Batman/Bruce Wayne, the whole cast is brilliant as well. It's technically a masterclass on filmmaking and a prove that Matt Reeves only makes masterpieces. Oh and the start of film is one of the best introductions in the history of the superhero genre, I was blown away of how brutal and epic was. Oz” refers to a shortened version of The Penguin’s full name, Oswald Cobblepot – so all signs point to Farrell finally jumping on board.
