![]() According to Stern, that sentiment isn’t new: “He was also very respectful of Rob Pattinson, and said he's doing a great job now.” However, on the idea of Reeves someday usurping the role, he joked: “Maybe in the future. Recently, Reeves was asked whether he’d like to don the cape and cowl in live-action at some point his answer was positive, but diplomatic, and he had kind words for Robert Pattinson too, who played the Caped Crusader in The Batman earlier this year. And we would just try to get lost in the performance and see our Batman, see our Superman.” ![]() “Because you just want to get what they're like when they're just casual, and they're just talking, in addition to when they're acting. ![]() We'd pull clips from talk show appearances as well, things like that,” Stern explained. “We would pull clips from other movies that they’ve done. So, that was really helpful, because no one knows DC better.” The movie, which follows the super-dog Krypto (Dwayne Johnson), draws from plenty of the comics’ obscure corners - and features a litany of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Easter eggs, like a Jonah Hex-themed steakhouse - but it also features pop culture juggernauts with their own history and iconography, like Superman (John Krasinski) and Batman (Keanu Reeves), each played by actors who bring their own histories to the screen.įor Stern, casting Reeves and Krasinski was more than just a matter of them being recognizable names and faces. “Growing up, we were reading all of his comics, and now he was the one that we were showing our stuff to. This was just one among many other touchstones for director Jared Stern, who professes to being a long-time fan of DC Comic and of landmark artist Jim Lee, who’s now the company’s Chief Creative Officer, and to whom Stern would report while working on the film.
