Andy Serkis: The Alfred/Bruce Relationship is at the Center of THE BATMAN

3448

Via an outlet called LABIBLE.COM, Andy Serkis — who plays Alfred Pennyworth in THE BATMAN — had the following to say (not much) about the film…

“[THE BATMAN] very much about the emotional connection between Alfred and Bruce,” said Mr. Serkis.  “That’s really at the center of it. And it is a really exquisite script that Matt [Reeves] has written.”

Mr. Serkis isn’t the first cast member of THE BATMAN to praise Mr. Reeves’ script.  Back in January, Colin Farrell — who is playing “Oz Cobblepott” in the film — said that director Matt Reeves wrote a “beautiful, dark, moving…really gorgeous script.”

I’m on record saying here on BOF that Reeves’ THE BATMAN (and it’s sequels) will be more grounded than Christopher Nolan’s THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY — and nothing I’ve heard via interviews like this or on/off the record makes me think otherwise. #happybatdance

Bill "Jett" Ramey
Bill “Jett” Ramey isn’t just a Batman fan — he’s one of the founding fathers of the online Batman community. As the creator and Editor-in-Chief of Batman-On-Film.com, the original and longest-running Batman news and commentary site, Jett helped carve the very bedrock of modern fan internet press. A lifelong Dark Knight disciple, Jett has spent decades championing filmmaker‑driven Batman stories, cutting through fanboy noise with a Texas‑sized dose of honesty, and keeping the conversation smart, civil, and drama‑free. He’s the BOF Godfather — the guy who was here before the hashtags, before the clickbait, before the algorithms… and he’s still here, still talking Batman, still calling it straight. When he steps out of Gotham, Jett is pure Texas. He bleeds Dallas Cowboys blue, blasts Elvis and rock ’n’ roll, and has a deep appreciation for cold beer, dive bars, and Texas Longhorns football. He works out, he cooks, and he can grill like a man who’s earned the right to say “don’t assume” when he tells you he lives in the great state of Texas. He shares that home with his wife — “Announcer Rachel” — and their dogs: Gracelin the Labradoodle and Presley, a rescue pup named after the King himself.
