Photo: Mike Marsland/WireImage Over the course of The Batman, Bruce Wayne faces some of his most difficult onscreen challenges yet: a serial killer who leaves a mysterious Zodiac-like string of clues, Gotham-wide governmental corruption, his family’s own murky history, and also puns. The new movie stars Robert Pattinson as our newest, very emo Batman, exploring a new conspiracy-thriller version of Gotham City that’s full of rain and crooked cops, while Nirvana plays over his adventures.
I listen to music when I write, and when I was writing the first act and trying to get into the mindset of what the movie would be, for some reason, I put on Nirvana and “Something in the Way” and it just clicked for me. There was something about the tone of that music that just felt right. I wrote it into the script, and then the reprise was also always in the script, so that there was an idea of the story coming full circle. Then, Warner Bros. went out and we got the rights.
He’s sort of addicted to it, too. It’s a compulsion, this creative drive, and it relates to my approach to filmmaking. To me, moviemaking is trying to make sense of my world. Ever since I made movies as a kid, the idea of having a camera was that it was the one place where you could exert control in a world of chaos. That’s what he’s doing. He’s revisiting this idea of what happened to him in the past that he really can’t control, but he’s haunted by it.
It was really fun. If you’re going to do a serial-killer mystery with ciphers and puzzle pieces that have to fit together, and riddles, that’s a lot of work! I had like 40 riddle books looking for ones that would fit into my narrative. It’s its own weird, Batman-esque creative jam session. But there’s something about that tone. One of my favorite things in the movie is the way Jeffrey Wright deadpans about the Riddler, “This guy is hilarious.
The script was written before any of that, but the notion of corruption in the city never goes out of style. It’s one reason why the Batman myth endures. I don’t think you’re ever going to run out of corruption in a city.
