TheBatman director Matt Reeves reveals that the DC movie's opening scene with TheRiddler was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock. 'I'm very drawn to the storytelling of Alfred Hitchcock because the act of cinema-going is voyeurism, right?'
The Batman director Matt Reeves reveals that the film's opening scene was inspired by iconic director Alfred Hitchcock. The Batman serves as the latest interpretation of DC's Caped Crusader and is also the first iteration of the character to exist outside of the DCEU since Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy ended in 2012. The movie sees Batman in only his second year of crime-fighting as he works to track down a mysterious new serial killer known as The Riddler .
Over the years, there have been many interpretations of the world of Batman. This meant, of course, that director Reeves certainly had his work cut out for him to make something that would stand apart from other directors' interpretations, especially given that The Batman was released alongside the ongoing DCEU. One of the most prominent ways that Reeves' film differs from previous Batman projects is in its genre.
I wanted to put you in the shoes of these characters. I'm very drawn to the storytelling of Alfred Hitchcock because the act of cinema-going is voyeurism, right? We're all looking into people's lives on the screen. And I thought the idea of putting the audience into the shoes, or in this case, the binoculars of the Riddler, and having him spy right from the beginning, would be an unexpected way to begin a Batman movie.
Reeves has actively attempted to make one of the most suspenseful Batman films to date, so it's no wonder he turned to the master himself for inspiration. Hitchcock's films are full of sinister characters spying upon one another to dark ends. Psycho sees Norman Bates spy on Marion through a hole in the wall before the infamous shower scene.
Reeves certainly made a useful choice to start The Batman out in this unique way. The film runs for nearly three hours, and from the first scene onward, there is hardly a moment in the film where the audience doesn't feel like the characters on screen are being watched by a sinister presence. Of course, by the end of the film, it is clear that this is true, making Reeves' film an incredibly well-crafted piece in both story and tone.
