Eddie Redmayne was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and had this story about Rob training for The Batman

Denis Villeneuve was mum on whether Rob will be involved in Dune 2 but what he did say was that he would love to work with Rob one day ‘it would be a dream’. And not just for you Denis. Here’s the interview below from the Oscar’s red carpet yesterday. I’ve started it at 0.50 where Denis is asked about Rob

Here’s a little behind the scenes

For those like me who had to wait to come home from work to watch – here’s the YouTube version

*SPOILER* for those who haven’t seen the film you may not want to watch this scene.

Matt Reeves narrates a sequence in which Batman flees the police from a rooftop using his batsuit for The New York Times.

In this scene from “The Batman,” a superhero flies, but it’s mostly by the seat of his pants.

Batman (Robert Pattinson) has found himself in an interrogation room after an altercation he was present for turned deadly.

Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright), who has developed a partnership and trust with Batman, secretly helps him flee the scene. But in Matt Reeves’s take on the series, the Caped Crusader doesn’t have a smooth handle on his tech.

In his narration, Reeves said that he wanted to present a less polished version of Batman than we’ve seen before.

“Rob as Batman is never really in control,” Reeves said. “He’s just barely making it.”

Reeves went in this direction with the character to humanize him a bit and make him more relatable. When Batman reaches the ledge in the scene, he’s actually afraid of how high up he is.

For the flight tech, Reeves found inspiration in wingsuits, a webbed jumpsuit used in extreme sports like skydiving and BASE jumping to experience more airtime. Some of the shots of the sequence are patterned after YouTube videos Reeves watched of wingsuit moments in all their harrowing, will-they-survive-or-not wonder. And strategic camera placement makes it feel like the audience is taking that harrowing, blundering journey right along with the Batman.
