It began with Alfred’s funeral and Bruce has fallen in love and renounced being Batman, the Joker kills his spouse, and you then uncover it was all a lie. Simply that the love itself was constructed by the Joker to interrupt [Bruce]. It was a time the place you’ll have the ability to get these type of tales collectively in script type however they couldn’t fairly land on this planet. One way or the other, the expectations of the article — whether or not they be viewers or company or directorial — it wasn’t touchdown fairly in the best way I believe we imagined once we put them on the web page.”
