Maybe. We’ll simply say perhaps. I don’t know. Here’s the factor, I’ve loads of concepts about what I wish to do. I’m unsure what the following story is. For me, no matter that story’s going to be, it’s going to be to take these characters — and particularly Batman’s character — and put them in some sort of emotional jeopardy. So whenever you discuss what you’re speaking about, there could also be a extremely attention-grabbing story. There’d must be emotional stakes to get drawn into that character’s story.

I don’t need that character to turn out to be a cypher. I don’t wish to be like, ‘Okay, so we saw it wasn’t an origin story, however you understand what, that was sort of [Batman’s] origins and now he’s simply excellent.’ No, you have to take a look at the character repeatedly and once more. And for me, yeah, there is perhaps one thing in that. I don’t know.

The GCDP factor, that story has sort of advanced. We’ve really now transferring extra into the realm of precisely what would occur on this planet of Arkham because it relates coming off of our film, and a few of the characters, once more of their origins that you’d – nearly leaning into the thought of – it’s like a horror film or a haunted home that’s Arkham. The thought of, once more the best way that Gotham is a personality within the film, I really need Arkham to exist as a personality, so that you simply go into this setting and encounter these characters in a method that feels actually recent.
