Batman film in the future.The Spider-Man and Doctor Strange And The Multiverse of Madness director recently opened up about his love for the caped crusader.“I’ve always loved Batman,” Raimi told Empire in a new interview. “If I ever saw the Batsignal up in the air, I’d come running.“If I heard that deep, gurgling laugh of The Shadow coming from the darkness, I would also tentatively step outside.”Reflecting on other characters that he’d like to make more films for, he added: “And Spider-Man would be ahead of Doctor Strange, but I don’t want to put him down the list!”Matt Reeves most recently put a new spin on the character with The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Colin Farrell, Paul Dano and more.In a four-star review of The Batman, NME wrote: “Director Matt Reeves has mixed up gritty mob drama with film-noir detective thriller – and thanks to Dano’s ultra-creepy villain, some psychological horror too.“Most of the time it comes off brilliantly.

HBO Max.Following reports of its existence last year, the streaming service has officially ordered a spin-off series based around The Batman villain which picks up after the film’s events.“The world that Matt Reeves created for The Batman is one that warrants a deeper gaze through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot,” Farrell said.“I couldn’t be more excited about continuing this exploration of Oz as he rises through the darkened ranks to become The Penguin. Will be good to get him back on the streets of Gotham for a little madness and a little mayhem.”Lauren LeFranc (Impulse, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) will serve as writer and showrunner on the series.

You go into this environment and encounter these characters in a way that feels really fresh.

And so you almost have to sustain it once you’re there because going up and down is kind of hard.”Dano went on to describe his experience covering himself in plastic wrap to get into character, as the Riddler would try to avoid leaving DNA evidence at his crime scenes.“My head was just throbbing with heat,” Dano said, describing the moment he would take off the mask.

The Batman was inspired by Kurt Cobain, directly pointing to the late Nirvana frontman’s struggles with drug addiction.In a new interview with Esquire, Reeves – who wrote, directed and produced the forthcoming superhero film – explained that he was first drawn to Nirvana in the early stages of the film’s development, citing ‘Nevermind’ cut ‘Something In The Way’ (which appears in the first trailer for The Batman) as a particular source of inspiration.He said the track’s thematic basis was “part of the voice of [Batman’s] character”, musing: “When I considered, ‘How do you do Bruce Wayne in a way that hasn’t been seen before?’ I started thinking, ‘What if some tragedy happened [ie: Wayne sees his parents murdered] and this guy becomes so reclusive, we don’t know what he’s doing? Is this guy some kind of wayward, reckless, drug addict?’“And the truth is that he is a kind of drug addict. His drug is his addiction to this drive for revenge.
