Goyer:And It was a little surreal working with Warner Bros. because they completely left us alone. They let us do absolutely everything that we wanted to do. It was just amazing. Talking as a fan, this is one of those times where they just did everything right. Just everything.
Question: This is a jaded Batman fan. You're saying they totally left you along, but this is the same company that greenlit Catwoman.
Goyer: That's a totally fair question. I think it's why we're here. All I can tell is that I think Chris is a really, really amazing filmmaker and a really credible filmmaker. He would not have done the movie if he felt we were going to betray the fans at any given point. To be honest, there certainly was a bit of trepidation when we turned in the script because we thought they're not going to let us do this. We were waiting for the other shoe to drop.
But we turned in the script, and they green lit. We turned in the designs for the Batmobile, they green lit it. They back Chris on every single casting decision, I mean every single decision. They told Chris early on, cast whoever you think is best for the movie, the movie is bigger than any star. They never said, here's our list of approved people.
So I don't know what to tell you. When we went to DC Comics, we spent three days with Paul Levitz and some of the higher-ups at DC and said, "This is what we want to do. We know that it's Batman and it's a story that's never been told before on film or on television. It was important to us that Paul and the rest of the people ta DC gave us their stamp of approval, and they did.
All I can tell you is from the standpoint of a fan, somebody who's been reading comic books since 1971, somebody who's had letters printed in comic books and things like that, I had a very schizophrenic experience working on the movie, because on one hand I was a professional, an the other hand I was a fan. And just saying, "Holy shit, I can't believe they're letting us do this."
