Batman: A Genre Filmmaker's Perspective
"I'd never done a superhero movie and I turned a lot of them down because to me, I have to feel like I understand emotionally the idea of what it would be," he said. "The truth of the matter is that Batman is not a superhero in the sense that he has, he's just a human being... His superpower, I guess, is that he's rich and that ends up being a way to comment again on his privilege." The film was inspired by real-life events such as 9/11 and Occupy Wall Street.
