A fascinating behind the scenes look for anyone who loved The Batman (2022). I want to pick Matt Reeve's brain and I'm eagerly waiting for the next one

It was great fun to get this behind-the-scenes look at what I regard as the greatest Batman movie. “Art of” books can be all kinds of different things—sometimes literally just the concept artwork and production sketches, sometimes an illustrated screenplay, and occasionally a more robust look at the making of the film. The Art of The Batman is the latter category: it’s not just the art, but also a fair amount of text taken from interviews with the crew and cast of the film, explaining the thought process in designing the characters, locations, and vehicles. I really enjoyed learning more about the film, and I like the ways the creators took influences from various graphic novel sources and crafted a film that feels like an original graphic novel story. Artwork is integrated into the text throughout, but the book ends with several full-page spreads of concept art, all of which is beautiful—very Blade Runner-y and evocative.
Hopefully they’ll just leave this movie alone to be its own perfect thing and not spin it off into a thousand other movies and TV series. I mean . . . it’s possible, right?

it's so interesting to understand more of how this movie was done, from the sketches to 3d renders / vr, i was amazed on how much effort they put into it.
matt reeves truly understands the characters and story they are telling, and i applaud him and also every single member of staff / cast, the work they've done is wonderful, i loved it!

A GREAT BEHIND THE SCENES, LOOK AT ONE OF THE BEST FILMS TO RELEASE IN 2022!
Not much I can say besides I loved this movie, so I asked for the art book as a Christmas gift. It was super fun to get an inside look behind the amazing film, and it really adds a cool perspective. It really makes me appreciate the film more cause the attention to detail the team put into the project is crazy! I loved seeing the inspiration Matt Reeves (Director) and crew took to add it to the film. They talk a lot about making this Batman film more detective oriented compared to the previous Bat-flims. That’s honestly something that went over my head, but once you realize that this movie is the first of the Bat-flicks to focus more on his detective skills, it really shows how great it stands out.
Awesome concept art and details that will have you watching the film differently.
MUST buy for any fan of the film.

Very fun! Was a very thoughtful movie, and the book really reflected the amount of thought put into his character, limitations, wealth, etc. and was true for the other characters as well! Really appreciated the bit about the house! That's exactly where he would live!!
