Short description
In his second year of fighting crime, Batman uncovers corruption in Gotham City that connects to his own family while facing a serial killer known as the Riddler.
What's left behind the scenes
- The idea to portray Catwoman with long, scary, unpolished nails—designed to look like claws—belonged to Zoë Kravitz.
- The film is dedicated to the memory of Andrew Jack – a dialect coach who worked on the film and passed away on March 31, 2020, due to complications from the COVID-19 virus.
- Soviet lenses from the "Helios-44" and "Jupiter-9" series were used to film the car chase scene between Batman and the Penguin. Vintage optics were used due to their unique optical distortion to create a soft contrast and an authentic, analog image style that cannot be achieved with modern lenses.
- The image of Bruce Wayne in the film was inspired by the image of Kurt Cobain.
- The protagonist's car is a muscle car. In Neil Adams' comics from the 1970s, Batman drove a car that was outwardly unremarkable so as not to attract attention.
- The working title of the film was "Revenge".
- Initially, it was assumed that Ben Affleck would direct the film and star as the main character, with Joe Manganiello playing the villain.
- Ben Affleck's nickname was Batfleck, and Robert Pattinson was often jokingly referred to on set as Robat Battinbat. This nickname was coined on the Australian podcast The Weekly Planet.
- The idea to portray Catwoman with long, frightening, unpolished nails – ones that looked like claws – belonged to Zoë Kravitz.
- Robert Pattinson's screen test took place in Los Angeles in May 2019, while he was preparing to film "Tenet" (2020). Pattinson attempted to lie to Nolan about a family emergency, but the director, well-versed in Batman and Warner Bros., immediately figured everything out. When Pattinson told Nolan he had gotten the role of Batman just a day before starting filming on "Tenet," he was quite surprised that Nolan already knew and even congratulated him, even though Pattinson hadn't told anyone else.
- Robert Pattinson and Zoë Kravitz had been friends for about a decade before being cast in the lead roles. Reeves felt that Pattinson and Kravitz were the exact right choices for these roles from the very beginning of the screenwriting process.
- Matt Reeves stated that his version of the Riddler was partly inspired by the infamous serial killer Zodiac, who operated in California in the late 1960s.
- Robert Pattinson auditioned for the role of Batman wearing the original Batman suit worn by Val Kilmer in "Batman Forever." However, his face didn't fit in the cowl, so he borrowed the cowl from George Clooney's suit in "Batman & Robin."
