Here’s what THE BATMAN‘s cinematographer Greig Fraser had to say about the film during an interview with COLLIDER…
On how “dark” the film would be…
It’s a good question and one in which we asked ourselves. There’s darkness in the character, for sure, and we need to create a ‘mood’ — which is obvious, it’s a Batman film. So, I don’t think it’s going to be oppressively dark…visually because that’s not what we’re trying to do — we aren’t trying to have a competition about who can go the darkest of the darkest of the darkest. We’re trying to create intrigue — I love the way some of the comics look, the graphic novels, and you can see relatively quite clearly [darkness] in those.
On THE BATMAN in general and how director Matt Reeves is “gutsy”…
It’s a character-based movie about the characters, about Andy Serkis’ character [Alfred Pennyworth], Rob Pattinson’s character [Bruce Wayne/Batman], it’s a very, very good script — like all of Matt [Reeves]’s scripts it’s very good, it’s very well-thought-out, and we’re having a ball making it. We’re doing our best, you know…it’s a lot of pressure! It’s Batman…Matt’s a gutsy director!
