I just love photographing things and putting them together to tell a story.

I will miss the Batman. I like to think that he'll miss me, but he's never been particularly sentimental.

A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.

Well, you always discover a lot in the editing room. Particularly the action, because you have to over-shoot a lot and shoot an enormous amount of material because many of the sequences have to be discovered in the editing and manipulation of it.

I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.

For me, Batman is the one that can most clearly be taken seriously. He's not from another planet, or filled with radioactive gunk. I mean, Superman is essentially a god, but Batman is more like Hercules: he's a human being, very flawed, and bridges the divide.

People want to see something that shows them you can do what you say. That's the trick.
