Denis Villeneuve (born October 3, 1967) is a Canadian filmmaker. He has received seven Canadian Screen Awards as well as nominations for three Academy Awards, five BAFTA Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. Villeneuve's films have grossed more than $1.8 billion worldwide. Villeneuve began his career in his home country, directing four French-language dramas: August 32nd on Earth (1998); Maelström (2000); Polytechnique (2009), a dramatisation of the 1989 École Polytechnique massacre; and Incendies (2010). The last of these gained him international prominence and earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. He expanded to English-language films by directing the thrillers Prisoners (2013), Enemy (2013), and Sicario (2015). Villeneuve gained wider recognition for directing science fiction films. His work on Arrival (2016) earned him a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director. This was followed by Blade Runner 2049 (2017), which was critically lauded but financially unsuccessful. His next projects were Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024), a two-part adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel of the same name. Both films were critically and commercially successful, with the former earning him Academy Award nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture.

Ever since Bruce retired as Batman and married Selina Kyle, he has been in a state of content, and the first time in a long time. However, things go awry when Selina gets killed in an assassination attempt made for Bruce and he becomes the secluded and distant man he once was. He also realizes that the world needs Batman once again. He stumbles upon college student Terry McGinnis who he believes is the perfect protégé to train and become the Batman. Through him, he soon finds a purpose and some kind of hope once again. [Author's Note: I'm aware that these actors would be too old for their respected roles. I would be casting these movies if they were to happen today even though it's for much later. It's very unrealistic, but that's how I'm doing it.]
