I Think There Are Advantages To Different

I Made 'batman' The Way I Made Every Other Film, And I've Done It To My Own Satisfaction - Because The Film, Truly, Is Exactly The Way I Wanted It To Be.

For Me, As A Film Goer, I Like Nothing More Than To Sit In The Cinema, Have The Lights Go Down And Not Know What I'm About To See Or Unfold On-screen. Every Time We Go To Make A Film, We Do Everything We Can To Try To Systematise Things So We're Able To Make The Film In Private, So That When It's Finished It's Up To The Audience To Make Of It What They Will.

What I React Against In Other People's Work, As A Filmgoer, Is When I See Something In A Movie That I Feel Is Supposed To Make Me Feel Emotional, But I Don't Believe The Filmmaker Shares That Emotion. They Just Think The Audience Will. And I Think You Can Feel That Separation. So Any Time I Find Myself Writing Something That I Don't Really Respond To, But I'm Telling Myself, 'oh Yes, But The Audience Is Going To Like This,' Then I Know I'm On The Wrong Track And I Just Throw It Out.

I Think There Are Advantages To Different Scales Of Filmmaking. You Wouldn't Want To Do Just One Thing.

I Realized That If You're Trying To Reach An Audience, Being As Subjective As Possible And Really Trying To Write From Something Genuine Is The Way To Go. Really It's Mostly From My Own Process, My Own Experience.
