I can listen to him talk about Batman all day. You can tell he is a true fan, and this is a passion project for him. I wish him much success! I can't wait to watch it next week!
I'm really glad that he says that this is THE cut and that it's exactly how he wants it. I'm glad WB learned from their mistakes and gave him a great amount of freedom on this film to make what he envisioned for a Batman film.
@@zacharyharrison2824 they gave Snyder creative freedom for his first 2 DC movie, and let him make a plan, the problem was you may have liked it but the wider audience didn’t, so they took him off the project. Sony took Spider-Man from Sam Raimi cause 3 didn’t do well critically, even though it made the most money. They gave Snyder every chance.
When he said "There is no extended cut because I got to make the exact movie I wanted" it solidified everything. Get the Oscar's ready because it's gonna be a SWEEP for this movie next year.
@@PursuerFollows The facts are the studio has final say on a movie. Do you honestly believe the studio let Matt Reeves do whatever he wanted without stepping in and never said no to him?
@@festo8756 yeah but when you also take what Gunn been allowed to do, you can really understand that they have learned their lesson.

He's so clear and precise in what he wants, says and his vision for this project. I was upset Bens script got ripped up and he left the project, but excitement began again the minute they announced matt as the new director. He is an absolute pleasure to listen to.
I love how Matt Reeves is like the Kevin McAllister of making a batman film and easily outsmarting WB exects and D.C fans from competely hijacking and controlling his creative process and knows how to maneuver in a way where hes doing what he wants but still knows what is needed and doesnt allow himself to be easily compromised by the b.s lol.
@@barry2349 Yea i know man. Im saying he takes his respect and doesnt let the fans preconcieved notions of comics or what they think he should do throw him off.

Matt Reeves has a perfect Jim Gordon mustache, it's not uncommon for directors to cameo in a movie they direct, I wonder if he ever considered giving himself the role.
WB finally earns some respect points after Matt Reeves said he didn’t get any push back. DC it’s simple, find someone passionate about source material that can write and direct that has a good filmography and find someone that resembles Greig Fraser for cinematography if he’s unavailable. We need more of it. That’s where you can differ from Marvel because this CGI looks more real than previous marvel and DC movies because of the lighting. It’s that simple. Greg is a genius.
Reeves demanded creative control and final cut rights before he agreed to direct the film. Pattinson wouldn't have signed on otherwise. He hasn't made a film with a director who didn't have final cut rights since 2011 and he's said he never will. He's making films for the sake of art, not money. Neither of them are interested in doing studio junk for the paycheck. They're making films that will stand the test of time. We're in for a real treat with The Batman. WB gets credit for letting them do their thing and not interfering. It takes a director who's next level to earn that kind of privilege, they shouldn't hand it out to everyone, they don't all deserve it.
As a director when you take a risk and find out in test screenings that the risk you took is what the audience loved the most it must be a wonderful feeling. Matt's vision is terrific . The movie is fantastic!
Reeves has put in so much thought into The Batman influenced by Seven and Zodiac, I don't know how he can top this in a sequel. What other Batman villain can push Batman's detective skills to build this arc of the trilogy of the "world's greatest detective?"
Regarding deleted scenes, Matt has unfortunately confirmed that Barry Keoghan's scene was actually cut from the movie, it was supposed to be a scene where Batman goes to Arkham Asylum to try to profile the Riddler and Barry was supposed to be there in cell with Edward Nashton.
I'm so glad WB respected Matt Reeves, especially since they've had a bad track record at sabotaging other director's projects like David Ayer and Zack Snyder. I just hope WB continues with the Pro-Director and Pro-Creative Freedom path going forward.
Lol. Say what you want about the theatrical Suicide Squad but the film still walked away with almost a billion gross and an Oscar for makeup. That's phenomenal.
F**king loved the Batman, it’s amazing how different from the Nolan films it was, even though they both try to create a very hyper-realistic Batman film
We have seen previous Batman movies and those were great but it was time for something different that Matt reves definitely able to make.Already bought tickets for tomorrow
Hopefully the big studios get it now that today's audiences can handle 3 hr films and want narrative complexity. I'm all for this burgeoning era where arthouse concepts are aesthetics are being adopted in blockbuster cinema.
Matt Reeves was the voice of Felicity TV series. People always think about JJ, but it was Matt. It was apparent from that show that Matt's approach to story is from emotion and character, and not driven by plot points. Plot is important, but Matt tries to find a truth in life that he can make a story about, and character informs plot and moves it forward. JJ is the opposite. He's very plot point driven to the point he rushes through a story without breathing room. JJ is about going from beat to beat to beat. Boom, boom, boom, and here a twist, and here a turn. Both approaches can be valid, but Matt Reeves speaks to me more.
For the screen test they don't tell them what movie they are seeing?!?! Bruh how do I get that job, I can only imagine going in and finding out what your watching is actually THE BATMAN
The way Warner's brothers have treated Matt Reeves compared to Zack Snyder speaks volumes. Warner brothers never trusted Snyder from the get-go. They should have never put the DCEU in snyder's hands.
And I agree with every word but Matt Reeves the same about Detective Comics back into the origin stories That word is filmed will take place and I understand a lot from the animated TV series but in a whole new Direction No one never knew how the ended up ending Gotham season 5 and now here's the explanation of that Over two years in the gap of Detective Comics. And alone Halloween and Batman ego. All that was revealed when that man made his debut in Gotham City. I grew up watching his character for a long time I understand the power of Storytelling. How to the director is explaining to the audience this is mortal origin story takes place after the events of the Batman animated series season 6 The day when Batman first came to become what he is now. When he was just a teenager no training from A League of Shadows just him and Alfred pennyworth Jim Gordon to I know this is not a just a typical story but it's going to be a good movie I'm so hyped up for the film and I'm excited For the film franchise I love words going Created by the best author in the world of DC Comics Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Number one best DC Comics selling perfect and merchandise. This is going to be the best movie ever I hope this win. Oscar award is here For the year of this year 2022
Finally after 3+ years of self isolation from all pop culture news for The Batman, I'm proud to say that this makes my effort way worthy! Epic. Batman. 🦇 🦇
To me surprisingly enough, this is probably the best batman movie. Picturing bats as what he truly is - the best detective in the world, unsettled, anxious, dark.
Unusual scripts are often abondoned. Fortunately, this time the right people came along and picked it up and the studio was open minded and trusted the creators enough to go along with it.
The theatrical release is matt reeve director cut that amazing WB learning from their mistakes but I could understand the hesitancy on releasing a 4 hour cut of justice league in theaters
Matt Reeves articulates himself brilliantly across every interview I've watched. The guy is a joy to listen to
Exactly, he's so sympethatic and you feel his passion for not only filmmaking but especially Batman. Could listen for hours to him
Agreed. He also has youthful enthusiasm. 😙👍

Amazing insight. I love everything this guy says, he knows what he wants to make and he does.
The right director for the job, I hope he gets a trilogy.
I think it go for at least Five films. A complete story
With the box office numbers it's seeing now that it's out, that will for sure be the case. (I know your comment is from before it came oit though).
The director literally says it's a 'standalone' in this interview.
@@ethansmith715 not if he gets the brinks truck
@@ethansmith715 I think “stand alone “ film is meaning it’s not related to any of their versions of Batman or the Joker movie.
I love how dedicated he is to this movie!! He truly cares about what he's doing with it, and that makes me super happy!!
This man so dedicated to the world of Batman, he became Gordon.
Matt Reeves has a perfect Jim Gordon mustache, it's not uncommon for directors to cameo in a movie they direct, I wonder if he ever considered giving himself the role.
I was thinking the same lol
he has a small cameo as riddler with the green jacket, from the funeral scene when bruce looks up at a standing figure above.
Bro wouldve been a better Jim Gordon than the actual casted Jim Gordon 😂

U can tell how passionate is he about Batman. I can’t wait 🦇🦇
This is a great interview! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Commissioner Matt Gordon
It's a really good sign (and a huge relief) when a director says this is EXACTLY the movie he wanted to make. I am so excited for Friday!!!!!!
Also, at least in this interview Matt Reeves looks a lot like at least certain versions of Commissioner Gordon, lol.
Same. I saw it on Monday. What did you think?
As a director when you take a risk and find out in test screenings that the risk you took is what the audience loved the most it must be a wonderful feeling. Matt's vision is terrific . The movie is fantastic!
I love his passion, plus his Men In Black suit.
I love that.
There is no other cut from what we are about to see.
Brilliant.
If it wasn't for his voice I'd say that Matt Reeves should have just played Jim Gordon himself. He's always in costume for it.
His voice is fine, he could make a gruff voice if needed.
Or Sully from Uncharted.
He is like a professor of cinema.❤
From making Cloverfield to Batman. So proud of Matt making himself one of the best directors out there.
Matt Reeves knows what he is talking about

Lol. Say what you want about the theatrical Suicide Squad but the film still walked away with almost a billion gross and an Oscar for makeup.
That's phenomenal.
How tf man of steel and watchmen wasn't good movies and bvs directors cut is amazing so fall back with that hijacked narrative
@Rome Real Exactly.
Not a huge Superman fan but it was killer.
Watchmen was incredible.
F**king loved the Batman, it’s amazing how different from the Nolan films it was, even though they both try to create a very hyper-realistic Batman film
This is the Reeves' Cut making it to the cinema, cool.
This is Matt Reeve’s best film so far. And I loved Dawn.
It's good to know that Comissioner Gordon directed a true Batman movie
I think we're in for a real treat since Matt Reeves will helm a Batman trilogy... I look forward to seeing The Batman and its sequels by Mr. Reeves.
I love how he does all his interviews cosplaying as Gordon. Lol.
He could literally play Gordon loll
All these interviews and tv spots are just ramping up the excitement.
We have seen previous Batman movies and those were great but it was time for something different that Matt reves definitely able to make.Already bought tickets for tomorrow
Admired his dedication to cinema since Cloverfield.
When your land foot and a stepping stone
Thank you Mr. Reeves.
I think he’s done an outstanding job and given us something new.

Interesting how an abandoned script has led to what is potentially a masterwork
Unusual scripts are often abondoned. Fortunately, this time the right people came along and picked it up and the studio was open minded and trusted the creators enough to go along with it.
Actually Ben Affleck script was rejected by Matt reaves himself,he build a new sciot from the ground up
It's probably not intentional, but I like how he's dressed like Commissioner Gordon.
