On working with Christopher Nolan:
“I really follow Chris. He could go marching off a cliff and I'd be right there with him. He's just such an exceptionally talented director and writer, and so really I just kind of roll with it from one picture to the next. He gives us something amazing as the audience, whether it's a Batman picture or The Prestige or Insomnia or Inception. It's something completely different every time and I'm always there for the ride.”
“It always begins with his word. It's always like reading Chris's words and getting my early inspiration that way and then when I start to break it down in my head then Chris and I get together and we have conversations and it really is just a series of conversations that leads to the visual blueprint for the film. It's a great experience with Chris. We've been working together for eleven years and it's a fantastic collaboration – and one that I cherish.”
Regarding the Batman films:
“I didn't really look at the comic books for inspiration for the Batman films. We looked at much more realistic kind of films, more gritty films, things, oddly enough, like Apocalypse Now. We wanted it to be a real film. We wanted Batman to be a real person, and so the look followed that. So much more gritty than the previous films have been.”
