Batman is immortal, like Dracula, and by that I mean there will always be films made about him. There were Batman films before I was born and three-dozen films later it is certain there will be Batman films after I’m dead. I like the Tim Burton ones, and they’re currently on the list, but imagine being among the 50+ crew that got to work all of Christopher Nolan’s trilogy. The Dark Knight could be an entry by itself, but I actually prefer the intricate plotting of Batman Begins, the first film to center on Bruce Wayne.
The trilogy has a number of fun – and not so fun – scenes to shoot, and it would be tempting to want to be on set of The Dark Knight when they flip the truck, but I think a lot of that was enhanced by the Post Sound Department and the Editing. I would go for something simpler. The Batmobile has been an icon through the ages, and I would like to be at ExCel London Event Hall when Bruce Wayne first tests out the camo version of The Tumbler. Most of the scene was filmed by the 2nd Unit, but I would also like to be there on the day with the cast so I could hear the multiple takes and variations as Christian Bale asks, “Does it come in black?”
