Where Was Batman Begins at Comic-Con?
Batman Begins writer David Goyer met the fans at Comic-con in San Diego recently without a clip to back him up. Why?
Why did Warner Bros. skip Comic-Con's Batman Begins panel and then two days later release the teaser trailer online? Writer David Goyer would like to know too.
"Warner Brothers actually apologized afterward," Goyer told Ain't It Cool News. "I was actually really annoyed by that... I do think they missed an opportunity. I think they underestimated the importance of Comic-Con, and also underestimated or misunderstood the audience's relationship with that franchise."
As for the movie, how serious is the script? "It's very serious and very sober. It's dark. I mean, there are moments of lightness; you can have lightness and have it not be comedy. It's a serious approach. It treats it like it's not a comic book movie. I think I was saying on the panel that it treats it as if it was an Alexander Dumas novel, or any other classic piece of source material," Goyer said.
