"They went to comic book conventions across the United States, where fans were booing the concept of Michael as Batman, and they really felt we were bastardizing the idea.

"So Peter and I went into the editing room in December, cut a brief trailer and took it back to the United States. It had no narrative, no dialogue, no music, no credits--just some dynamic bits of footage.

"It was shown in theatres in January and February, and it basically changed the whole direction and perception of the movie, because people realized Batman would be a dark adventure and not a farce."
