Paul Dano Details The Extremely Extra Security For The Batman Script

When it comes to leaks and superhero movies, it's practically a joke at this point. Marvel is acknowledging the NDAs in She-Hulk as people talk about the snipers as if they are real things. Warner Bros. isn't that different, and it sounds like they are trying to be just as sneaky when it comes to their movies as the competition. GQ recently did a profile on Paul Dano, who played The Riddler in The Batman earlier this year. The film was a win that the studio really needed, and we didn't know that much about the story before the release date hit. That might have something to do with the locking code and the tracking devices. Dano detailed the extremely extra security measure that Warner Bros. took to keep the script from leaking.

"When it was said I was going to do that part, I never received that many texts, phone calls, emails," he says. On set, he submerged himself into the epic cache of production materials. They'd give Dano hard copies of all the renderings: "Don't lose this. Put it in your 'special binder.'" He'd seen other ways of keeping secret materials secure. "But this was the first time I had a binder with a locking code on it. Then they added a tracking device."

The security measures will probably be just as tight for The Batman 2, considering the amount of hype that will be following that movie. There is something really amusing about the idea of a script inside a box with a locking code and a tracking number. If you take the binder to the wrong place, will it self-destruct Mission: Impossible style? Maybe that is the next step in keeping the spoilers at bay.

The Batman: Release Date, Summary, Cast

From Warner Bros. Pictures comes Matt Reeves' The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson in the dual role of Gotham City's vigilante detective and his alter ego, reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne. Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies—Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright)—amongst the city's corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens. When a killer targets Gotham's elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World's Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator's plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.

Starring alongside Robert Pattinson (Tenet, The Lighthouse) as Gotham's famous and infamous cast of characters are Zoë Kravitz (Big Little Lies, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald); Paul Dano (Love & Mercy, 12 Years a Slave); Jeffrey Wright (No Time to Die, Westworld); John Turturro (the Transformers films, The Plot Against America); Peter Sarsgaard (The Magnificent Seven, Interrogation) as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson; Jayme Lawson (Farewell Amor) as mayoral candidate Bella Reál; with Andy Serkis (the Planet of the Apes films, Black Panther); and Colin Farrell (The Gentlemen, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them). The Batman was released on March 4, 2022.
