The Reina Studios conference hall was almost packed with key members of Ian's next blockbuster, Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows. Everyone, including Martin, was there.

"Hello everyone and good morning. It's going to be a long day because of all the discussions in my head. Let's start with the title of the movie, Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows. As everyone might have guessed, yes, it's going to be a bit of a fictional movie, but it has a realistic backdrop and I want to focus more on the ideological struggles Bruce Wayne faces to become Batman than all of our actions.

All eyes were on Ian, and everyone listened intently to his every word. On the whiteboard behind him, he quickly sketched a sketch of the basic plan for Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows.

The projector boots up and shows a picture of Chicago.

"Well, that's what I envision for Gotham City," Ian said, and someone chime in with a question.

"Well, but why is it different from the previous live-action version?"

"I'm going to tell a modern version of the story where the city looks rich, but if you know what I mean, it's actually corrupt to the core?" Ian asked, some nodding, some jotting things down.

"I wanted to make a Batman trilogy," Ian continued. "Honestly, it's not even a superhero movie. It's just that at its core, it's very realistic, taking the role of ideology rather than love at first sight... The trilogy is an afterthought, and we just need to focus on this movie for now. "

Can you learn more about this movie, we've only seen the script, so..." a gray-haired novice girl asked curiously.

Ian knew most of the members. After discussing with Mason that day, he immediately hired a new staff member so that his job would be much easier. The new staff will help Mason and Moses complete the Green Book.

"Of course, so the first thing that drew me to Batman was the story of Bruce Wayne, who was a real character and his story started as a child. He's not a fully formed character, so what we're doing is following this person's journey and growing from a kid who went through this horrible experience to this extraordinary character, and if that makes sense to you, we need a character and a character like this. Someone who can really show that feeling," Ian said.

"Overall, for the character, what I wanted to do was convince the audience of the authenticity of Batman. How he struggled in childhood and then became who he is now, if we consider superheroes holistically, Batman is unique among superheroes in terms of providing that opportunity. He's really just a guy who does push-ups a lot, you know what I mean?"

they all listened quietly.

"I'm sorry, there's something urgent. With that, a tall man in a suit and leather shoes ran out of the office with his mobile phone. Ian just nodded and gave him permission before he left.

"So, where are we?"

the questions they ask are all valid and important. In response to their questions, Ian did not forget to state the facts revealed by the original director in some media interviews. Because, Batman, who came from his previous world, has a special place in his heart, he is a die-hard DC fan.

"Yes, your question

," "Do you have any plans to make other superhero movies?" The short girl with glasses asked Ian, who shook his head.

"Not yet. I want everyone to know that I'm not going to go with a superhero like Superman. At least not yet, but if the results are as I expected, then there's a lot of space. I love superheroes, superhero comics, and their stories. If done right, we will make as many superhero movies as possible.

"Regarding the film, I will give instructions here and there first, and then we will cover them one by one. First of all, regarding the location, Marcus, we need to send a team on a trip to Europe, because a lot of the starting scenes will be filmed in London. For example, the scene at Wayne Manor will be filmed in London, can you make a note of it?"

"Oh yes, of course, sir," Marcus replied and immediately began to write it down.

"Don't worry, Murphy and I will put this in our files and hand it in right away, but it's part of the meeting. Then, we'll need to hire a martial artist to shoot the training montage and build a monastery, sort

of, "Oh, okay, of course," James confirmed Ian's words.

"Yes, we need to hire a whole team of engineers to make 3 sets of 3 tumblers. So, in total, there were nine Batmobiles. Keep in mind that they should actually work. They need to be able to do everything that the Batmobile does in the movie, except shoot the gun, "

Uh, uh, I'm sorry, sir, please go back to the story." I'm a big fan of Batman, and as a fan of the comics, even in the comics doesn't explain how Bruce Wayne became Batman, right?"

When thinking about the script, it actually took me a long time. But we already know how his parents were shot dead in an alley by a thug named Joe, and this event was undoubtedly a defining moment in his life, which led him to the life of a nocturnal crime fighter. But in Batman: Shadow Mystery, I wanted to explore the mental and physical processes that led him to transform through the reboot," Ian said.

"Oh, but wouldn't that be risky?" Ian

chuckled under his breath at the question, as this *was* a risk before. In the original movie, the director and screenwriter took a lot of risks, and he knew better than anyone else.

"Of course, this movie is a huge risk, as we all know, Batman is one of the most famous superheroes in the world, and in the movie, I tried to reduce him to an object of ridicule, the thing is that it is a huge risk to completely reinvent the character. Like a huge, but now... All I can say is that it has to work," he said with a laugh.

"Sir, do you know how difficult it can be to coordinate all the practical effects in a movie?"

Ian smiled silently at the question. He remembers how Nolan answered this exact question in an interview.

"How hard was it to make it in Batman: Shadow Mystery?" There is a question from the interviewer.

The director who made "Batman: Shadow Mystery" answered this question based on his own experience on set, and he looked proud and satisfied with his direction, "

The real challenge is not with me, but with the stunt coordinator and the physics engineer." They have met the challenge admirably. In an age where so many things can be done with computers, they jumped at the chance. They are really enjoying the opportunity to perform amazing feats and build amazing things that can actually work in the real world. - "He continued

, "- For me, once I started it all, it was really just a matter of shooting it and trying to self-discipline to listen to the little voice in my ear and say, "Well, you can do it with visuals." You can leave this for a while. And it didn't work. I'm glad we stuck to that principle because it means that in post-production, when we get into the visual effects component, we have all the right materials to make these things look great without having to do too much. We have time to do what we've done. We had time to perfect it because we didn't finish four or five times as many shots that we said we were going to shoot, which is exactly what happens with a lot of these kinds of films. Ian

has his own answer for the girl who asked the question.

.“ Does that answer your question?"

"Yes sir

," "Okay, go back to Gotham City." As I said, this is one of the main things in the whole movie. I want it to be dark and gloomy. In fact, I wanted something that reflected the reality of a modern big city with a wide variety of buildings. There are various periods in which things are built. I wanted this place to be both historical and modern. So, in a way, Gotham can be seen as an exaggeration of New York, an exaggeration of a modern American city with an interesting geography of world cities. Specifically, a lot from New York, some from Chicago, and many from Tokyo because of the elevated highways and monorails. From Hong Kong, we can take a walled city, which is like the foundation of this walled slum. Finally, look at this slide,

"Put together all the elements of all the socioeconomic factors that make anyone boast about Big Gotham, the exaggeration as a modern American urban destination, and so on, so, as you can see, this should be our final thoughts on Gotham City," and

when it comes to every detail, the meeting lasted 10 hours with only a few short breaks.

"Ian Renner?" Christian questioned the agent who had just walked into the room, who was talking about a project with a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Yes sir. Here's the document they sent. "A girl with a high ponytail walked in with a script.

She was told it was a document containing Christian Bale's potential role and was asked to get a response as soon as possible because Ian wanted to know a response. It can always be done in two ways, and Ian knows that flexibility is best for his plans.

Placing the papers on the table, she turned to go out, only to see another short-haired girl walk in with a bundle of papers.

"The script comes with the files,"

they all looked at the files that printed the script for The Batman Prequel.

Ian sent the script to several agencies other than Erex, which had top-notch actors. He wanted to see if Bale would be the perfect "character" or how the other actors would play the role. From what he thinks, it's clear that Ian is open to the entire protagonist, Batman. Because, at the end of the day, he just wants the best Batman he can get.

"Thank you, Christina," Bell's manager said as the two girls walked out of the office.

"Now this... It's a big deal. Why? Because of the proceeds from Ian's previous two films. We really need to aim for this character. It's going to be a great comeback, it's something I've been looking for, and hopefully the script will work for you,"

said Bale and Theodore the next day after reading the entire script. As they continued to discuss the script, the morning was very good for both of them.

"So, the role is going to be something that you're going to put in a lot of effort. Let's see what kind of character Bruce is," Theodore begins to explain to Bale who Bruce is. "I wrote some bullet points based on my understanding so you can read them carefully before talking to Ian," he said, showing him the laptop screen so Bell could read his summary of the role.

|| Batman Begins - Ian Renner [Rena Studios]

Story and Character Analysis:

The film begins with a young Bruce Wayne falling down a well and being terrorized by a group of bats. The story ends with Bruce dressed as Batman as he sets out to investigate the Joker. Between these scenes, we see the journey of a young man who is outraged by the murder of his parents and the justice system in Gotham, who fires his duty to the people in order to accept bribes from mob boss Falcone. Bruce wants justice and tries to find it by murdering Falcone, but he can't.

But this experience led him to meet his mentor and teacher, a man who trained Bruce to harness the anger within himself in order to use it for specific purposes. But he is at odds with Russ, who seeks to destroy Gotham once and for all rather than restore it. Bruce learns that he is completely different from someone he admires so much. This formed a rule in his mind that not to kill, but to do justice without killing. That's what sets him apart from other people who commit crimes in the city.

Bruce's mask is about several things. First, it is a symbol of hope for the people of Gotham that they can be the change they want to see in their city, and it's not just one person's responsibility: it's all they have. Another symbol is that Bruce is more human-like than Batman. It is his love for Rachel and his desire to love and be loved that sets him apart from the role of a vigilante he plays.

"I even watched some comics related to this, and I seriously thought it would be a great opportunity," Christian said of how excited Theodore was for him to take the opportunity.

"Well, I can tell that Batman is a money-making character anyway," Bell replied after reading the storyline.

"You know, Hollywood is full of rumors. As far as I know, some studios are already approaching Reina Studios, hoping for a piece of the pie. Here's the thing, it all started with how Ian suddenly appeared, Home Alone and La La Land, both of which quickly hit the ceiling. I mean, this guy came, made a movie, it was a big box office, and now he's a big shot in the industry. There is a 97% chance that the film will be the same, a blockbuster. The peculiarity is that the superhero genre is basically not touched by any great director at the moment, so it will be a big deal," Theodore explained.

"Yes, I understand all this and this character ... It looks special, and I really hope I can fit in

," "The film itself is going to start with a budget of hundreds of millions of dollars,

" "Hundreds?" Bell asked rhetorically.

"To be precise, they said it was going to be a $150 million project. Literally, a lot happened to Ian during the production of Batman: Shadow Mystery. You know a lot of A-list actors are already trying to reach out to him and they're going to get a chance if they can, and that's how it is now. Hearing

this, Bell knew the seriousness of the matter. He crossed his legs and listened carefully to what his manager was saying.

"What else do you have in mind?" Seeing that Theodore suddenly stopped talking, Bell asked.

"Well, I'm pretty sure Ian is currently looking at you as a choice that satisfies traits, personality, physical appearance, and, in short, a character. The thing is, we should hurry, and most importantly, you need to do your best. You have to apply everything you've learned over the years because it's going to be very, very special," Theodore emphasized his words, because at the moment every attempt counts.

-

Not long ago, Scarlett "Jonade" Johnson was called to Rainer Studios to meet with Ian. But Ian hadn't finished writing the script for the Batman prequel during this time, so he called her to postpone.

Once everything was in place, Ian began pre-production of the Batman prequel, and the first thing he did was inform Scarlett to meet him.

"Hey, Scarlett. It's a pleasure to see you here today, sorry for the delay. Ian smiled politely, motioning for her to sit down in front of him.

Scarlett looks more beautiful than ever.

"Everything was fine. And, it's a pleasure to meet you personally, Mr. Reina," Scarlett said.

"I have a role for you, Scarlett," Ian said.

"What?" Suddenly a question popped out of her mouth. Did Ian Renner just say that there was a role for her?!Will she be the one to climb the ladder of success through Ian?Thoughts, questions, statements of self-appreciation, instantly swirled in her mind.

"Yes, my latest movie. A DC movie, I bet the word has spread. There's that character, Rachel. Look at the script, and this," Ian shoved two bundles of papers in front of her.

One is the script and the other is the contract.

"Rachel?" Scarlett took the document and flipped through two or three pages quickly.

Looking at the contract, the fact that Ian Renner was really going to sign her hit her like a truck. A moment of consciousness passed, and now she was sure that the director everyone was talking about was playing a role for her in his next big movie. That's also a superhero movie. A type that could be released as a complete explosion.

"I can see a lot of thoughts on your face, Scarlett. Don't be emotional, you will have to face the screen test, you need to pass the appearance of the character. I have high goals for this film, and I'm giving you a chance to prove that you can be the person I'm looking forward to. You know, I saw your talent that day and realized that if you put in enough effort, you might be a good fit for the role, trust me... I'm looking forward to it, Scarlett," Ian said with a smile.

Ian is so nice, Scarlett thought. Because even though there are directors who do this or that to motivate potential actors to play the role or role they need, it is golden in Scarlett's eyes for someone like Ian, who is completely new to the field to say such things.

"I'll do my best, thank you," she said, standing up to shake his hand.

Rachel Daws was a childhood friend of Bruce's. Rachel is actually an original character that does not appear in the comics, but was created separately by the original director. However, Ian also portrays Rachel in this film, as she was made specifically for the trilogy.

Rachel somehow became Bruce's lover, but by the end of the trilogy, her situation was not so smooth. In fact, she died. But near the end of the movie Batman: The Mystery of the Heroes, Rachel visits the ruins of Wayne Manor and finds Bruce and Alfred cleaning up the ruins. She kisses Bruce, but she tells him that they can't be together unless Gotham City doesn't need Batman anymore and now that he knows his secrets perfectly.
