The answer was to steal a bunch of shit I learned from you.
We were in our dads car and we stopped at Bonneville and got out, recalled Jonathan.
I always wanted to shoot there.

That was probably the third day we were working together, recalled Jonathan.
We really built a relationship in the course of that day.
We ran a completely closed set … a trick I stole from you.
It was very intimate.
No phones, no nonsense.
Just a very limited group of people who are actually in that kind of inner sanctum.
I think Ella realized very quickly that we were creating respect and safety in this environment.
She was able to kind of go for it.
(The Nolans co-wrote the Batman script with David S. Goyer that Christopher directed.)
Your casting Heath Ledger, Jonathan brought up as an example.
Im not even sure you were aware of it.
I remember watching that and being terrified.
You sort of think, hows it gonna work out?
The answer was it worked out very, very well.
And trust that respect and love will show through even if you have to make choices.
I cant believe you would ask that.
Such a betrayal, Jonathan quipped.
Respect to Geneva and Graham.
They get to tease that.
I think fans will be very, very excited.
Thats all I got.
