FIPaul Dano spent two days and "70 or 80 takes" filming Riddler’s final scene with Batman, would ask the director "was that crazy?"
Writer-director Reeves recalled Dano doing “70 or 80 takes” opposite Pattinson across two days of production for the final scene between the Riddler and Batman.
“Paul loves doing a lot of takes, as do I,” Reeves said. “We took two days on the final scene between him and Robert Pattinson as Batman. We must have easily done 70 or 80 takes. Paul loves exploring. He’s obsessive that way.”
Reeves continued, “There were all these moments as the Riddler where he’d be tickled by something and then fly into a rage. You never knew from take to take where that switch would come. I’d be sitting there with the headphones on, trying to stifle my laughter because he’d always do something surprising. Paul would ask me: ‘Was that crazy? Was that too much?’ I’d say, ‘No it’s fantastic. Let’s do another.'”
Reeves previously revealed that for another scene, Dano essentially was “directing this one-person play on an iPhone” when sending a threatening video to Batman. Per Reeves, Dano did close to 200 takes of the sequence in question.
