Matt Reeves: The Batman’s Riddler has ‘terrorist aspect’ #Matt #Batmans

Los Angeles, Feb 5 : The Batman filmmaker Matt Reeves says Paul Danos version of the Riddler has "a terrorist aspect to him".Reeves told Total Film magazine: "Hes not just a serial killer.

He definitely has a political agenda.Theres a terrorist aspect to him.""Hes indicting the city for what it is.And one of the things hes doing with each of these crimes is, hes attacking the so-called legitimate pillars of the city."The whole point of it was to put (Batman) on the path of trying to solve a mystery that was not only going to reveal the history of the city, and why its so corrupt, but that also is going to turn at a point, and become actually quite personal.

"Meanwhile, Reeves said he took inspiration from Mindhunter and the Zodiac killer when it comes to Riddlers costume in the new movie, which is a departure from the outfits worn by the likes of Frank Gorshin and John Astin in the 1960s TV series, or Jim Carrey in Batman Forever, reports femalefirst.co.uk.He explained: "I read Mindhunter.It made me think of the Zodiac killer, and how he actually wore this primitive costume that really is a primitive superhero costume.a rogues galley costume.

"And I was like, Oh, thats really scary, the idea of people really wearing masks, and withholding their identities, and terrorising people and how scary that is."And so I started thinking, Well, it could be an origin tale for the Riddler, and it could be an origin tale for some of these other characters."The Batman stars Robert Pattinson as Batman/Bruce Wayne, alongside Zoe Kravitz (Catwoman), Colin Farrell (the Penguin) and Andy Serkis (Alfred Pennyworth).
