“I would like these stories to be a meditation on the way Gotham is the way it is. It’s such a brutal place and we’re digging for the answers as to why these people’s lives are this way. It’s another mystery [in The Batman: Part II] that’s going to dig into the epic story about deeper corruption and it goes into places that he couldn’t even anticipate in the first one. The seeds of where this goes are all in the first movie, and it expands in a way that will show you aspects of the character you never got to see.
“You’ll see the Gentleman Ghost in Batman: Caped Crusader from Bruce Timm but you won’t see him in this!” laughs Reeves. “What was important to me was to find a way to take these pop icons, these mythic characters that everybody knows, and translate it so that Gotham feels like a place in our world. We might push to the edge of the fantastical but we would never go into full fantastical. It’s meant to feel quite grounded.
Gentleman Ghost fand ich auch in CC nicht passend.
Reeves is now gearing up for the next movie sequel. The script is finished, he confirms, and everyone is preparing to start production next year. He does tease that "there's a period of time" Part II will jump to after the first film and TV series. "Oz does become one of the entry points into the movie," he adds. "I can't tell you where it goes from there, except to say that we're super excited about it."
