Paul said that he wanted to reflect the iconic character’s meticulous nature but also acknowledged that he may not have the same resources as Batman. He chose to incorporate cling-wrap into his costume, which became a very suffocating as he shot the movie.
“I wrapped myself in cling wrap which I thought looked scary because of the light and I thought I’m not going to shed any hairs here on the crime scene,” he explained.
“The first day of filming about an hour in and I just start to see white, and colors, and my brain is getting very tight… and it’s day one so you don’t want to be the actor who’s like ‘I’ve got a little headache,’” the actor continued. “You suck it up [but] you can’t sweat. That’s the issue, it goes back inside you.”
Paul went on to say he managed to get through a day of shooting but Googled “brain swelling” when he got home.
“The next day we started to poke some holes in the cling-wrap, my head could breathe, things got a little better,” he said. “I might as well take this opportunity to offer a disclaimer to any Halloween costumers, or cosplayers out there: maybe skip the cling-wrap.”
The film is set to hit theaters on March 4, 2022. Check out photos of Paul and the rest of the cast at the premiere here!

It seems like Paul Dano‘s Riddler costume has landed him in some hot water!
**Spoilers for “The Batman” below. You’ve been warned.** For those who have seen “The Batman” in theaters, you are probably aware there isn’t some grand post-credits scene that teases what’s to come in the franchise.
Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” includes a haunting cackle that has fans speculating about sequels with Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader — and which Gotham villains he might be up against.(Warning: This article contains spoilers for “The Batman.”)Listed in credits as “Unseen Arkham Prisoner” in the film, out Friday, Barry Keoghan played a fellow jailbird to Paul Dano’s The Riddler, who gets thrown in the slammer at Arkham Asylum.When Riddler asked who the mysterious convict hiding in the shadows of the next cell is, Keoghan cryptically responded, “Well, that’s the question.”And it was certainly the question on fans’ minds, with many speculating the “Dunkirk” actor’s brief cameo was The Joker, especially since his grinning face was largely hidden.Director Reeves was cryptic about who exactly Keoghan, 29, played, but alluded that viral speculation about The Joker sneak peek was correct.“He’s who you think he is,” Reeves told press last month, Insider reported. “I would say the thing about the movie is that it isn’t a Batman origin story, but it is the origin story of every rogues’ gallery character that you come across.
The Batman.The actor appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (March 2) ahead of the film’s release, when the host listed preparations he’d make if he was cast as Selina Kyle.“I would study cats,” said Fallon, to which Kravitz replied: “I did that.”Fallon then suggested drinking milk out of a bowl, to which Kravitz seemingly joked: “I did that. I did.”Asked if she actually drank milk from a bowl, Kravitz added: “Maybe.
Paul Dano was ready to commit to his first-ever big-budget movie role in “The Batman”.
Playing the Riddler was difficult in some unexpected ways for Paul Dano.
EastEnders actor Alex Ferns, who played the notoriously nasty Trevor Morgan on the BBC soap, is barely recognisable more than 20 years later in the highly-anticipated film The Batman.The role will see the 53 year old Scottish actor taking on the pivotal character of Commissioner Pete Savage in the latest offering in the DC franchise. Acting alongside Twilight's Robert Pattinson as the masked crusader, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle – also known as the Catwoman – and the likes of Colin Farrell and Paul Dano in major roles, Alex is a far cry from his time in Walford.
Paul Dano’s Riddler is ’s main villain in director Matt Reeves’ stunning take on the superhero, it’s Colin Farrell who steals the show as the Penguin. The 45-year-old actor, who is completely unrecognizable as the formidable crime figure, makes use of every second he’s on screen, bringing the laughs and gravitas to the three-hour epic about a serial killer who threatens to upend the status quo of Gotham with shocking revelations about who actually runs the city.
Unforgettable images—the coned, fiery blue flames of the Batmobile, bodies thrashing, enveloped in shadows, the brailed scars crawling across Robert Pattinson’s muscled back—converge in Matt Reeves’ three-hour, noir-infused epic “The Batman.” Ever since Bob Kane and Bill Finger created him in 1939, the philanthropist playboy by day, Caped Crusader by night, has signified isolation, grief, trauma — vengeance. Over the decades, television and cinematic incarnations, projected through the personalities of the actors who’ve portrayed him, have amplified those traits through both campy and brooding means.
Ben Affleck and now Robert Pattison might, the metropolis gets worse and worse.Running time: 175 minutes. Rated PG-13 (strong violent and disturbing content, drug content, strong language, and some suggestive material.) In theaters March 4.In the latest perfunctory film, “The Batman,” Gotham is bleaker than ever. Too bleak, if you ask me.
