TheBatman star Paul Dano, who plays the Riddler in the upcoming movie, took over 200 takes to film one important scene in the film.
The Batman director Matt Reeves reveals a Riddler scene that took actor Paul Dano 200 takes to perfect. After a gruelingly long development period with first saw Ben Affleck attached as writer, director, and star, Reeves eventually stepped in to replace him, and what followed was an elongated production process plagued with COVID-related delays. Now, the Batman reboot starring Robert Pattinson in the title role is finally ready to hit theaters this Friday, March 4.
Set during Bruce Wayne's second year of crimefighting, The Batman finds the masked vigilante uncovering corruption in Gotham City while in pursuit of a serial killer named Edward Nashton a.k.a the Riddler, who preys upon Gotham's elite and taunts the GCPD with ciphers and riddles.
He goes,"OK, let me try one where I’m off camera and I stick my head in. Let me try one where I’m already sitting there." He’s directing this one-person play on an iPhone. It was the giddiness that really got to me. Calling out the passing time, like he was a game show host. He was so inventive and creative. He’s also very critical of himself.
Dano actually made his directorial debut with the 2018 film Wildlife and, based on Reeves' comments, it sounds some of those skills came in handy while filming a certain scene for The Batman. Even before the Riddler, Dano garnered a reputation for his twisted performances in There Will Be Blood and 12 Years a Slave.
While Colin Farrell's Penguin serves as a secondary villain , the film is very much about the psychological showdown between Pattinson and Dano's characters. Early reviews for The Batman began surfacing earlier in the week, with a number of critics lauding it the best Caped Crusader movie since Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. A comic book film is generally only as good as its villains, so a large part of The Batman's positive critical reception is undoubtedly owed to Dano.
