Roven talks Batman Begins
Posted on Tue, 16-Mar-2004

In an interview with CHUD, Producer Chuck Roven touched on "Batman Begins".

S.J.R.: Have you been over?

Chuck: I came back yesterday to see you guys today!

Q: What does the Bat-suit look like?

S.J.R.: Yeah, did you bring us a picture?!

Chuck: The whole concept of this Batman is that it will be different from
the other Batmans because it's going to be much more reality-based in that
everything that the character does, a living person today could evolve to
do. Everything - all of the equipment - the plane, the car, the cape,
everything has a real, scientific, practical reason for being and using and
you're going, 'Gee, that could happen today.'

S.J.R.: Are Bale and Oldman signed for multiple movies like the Scooby cast?

Chuck: There are certain of the actors - certainly Christian is on for more
than one Batman. A number of the cast - even though there's no guarantee,
there's no script, there's no story for what the next incarnation of Batman
Begins would be - there are certain actors that the possibility that they
would be around if there was going to be one was talked about and those are
the ones we negotiated sequels with and there are others that we have not.

Q: Would you do one with the Joker?

Chuck: You have to see this one to see what possibly will happen in the next
one. All of the seeds - if there will be a next one - are there even though
the exact story for the next one hasn't been worked out. But, we're doing
Batman Begins, so you can imagine that you find out the history of the
character, why Bruce Wayne went on the journey to become this character of
Batman - how he got there - and also the other characters within this story.
They embark on their journeys and maybe become some of his biggest foes.
