00:00Amazing shirt.
00:02Sorry.
00:03Look at Henry with his Mission mustache, huh?
00:06I love it!
00:08Come on.
00:09Oh my God.
00:15Hi, how are you, Sean?
00:16I'm wonderful.
00:17I love asking people this when they're in a superhero movie for the first time.
00:21What do you remember about the first day you got to be in full costume on set?
00:26How tight is this?
00:31This is so tight.
00:34But also, as I was walking, you know, very tightly, I was like,
00:39this is a dream come true and I can't believe it.
00:44And it's a constant shock for me, Sean.
00:48It's a constant like, whoa, you know,
00:51how beautiful it is to have these massive dreams
00:57that people tell you that you cannot accomplish
00:59and alas, they exist.
01:01You know, we can be superheroes.
01:04And I think that that suit just reminds me of that.
01:07And honestly, I miss it.
01:09I miss wearing it, even though it's super tight.
01:11I miss it.
01:12I think it's so beautiful.
01:13And yeah.
01:15Do you know what this symbol stands for?
01:19It means hope, right?
01:22I will help you fight God.
01:26You want to get nuts?
01:30Let's get nuts.
01:31Hi, guys. Good to see you.
01:32Hi, Sean. We love your T-shirt, man.
01:34Where do we get it?
01:35Thank you very much.
01:36Thank you very much.
01:37Huge fan.
01:38I'm curious because we never got to see the two Batmans together.
01:41Did Affleck ever come around to watch Keaton work on set?
01:45Did you ever have the two Batmans together on the set at the same time?
01:47They did not.
01:48We shot it in different months.
01:51But they would love, they would,
01:55I'm pretty sure they would have loved to do it together.
01:57They joked that they live on the same street in L.A.,
02:00which is, you know, Batman Alley, I guess.
02:03But yeah, we didn't get the chance.
02:08That's unfortunate.
02:09Speaking of getting the chance,
02:10because you guys get to play with a lot of Zack Snyder's toys,
02:13have you had a chance to show him this movie yet at all?
02:15Has he asked to see it?
02:16I would love Zack to watch this movie.
02:19You know, we really, I think we honor the part of the movie
02:26that he, you know, that he created in terms of characters
02:32and characterizations and cast.
02:34So I think he would enjoy it.
02:36So you're saying you can travel back in time.
02:40That Bruce, I can fix things.
02:45You can also destroy everything.
02:51Hey, guys.
02:54Hey, Batman.
02:56Hi, Supergirl.
03:00For 30 minutes, I sat here while prepping questions
03:02and I just watched you playing with your Barbie.
03:04It was like, it's so much joy in the videos that you post
03:08of like Supergirl flying over the Batmobile.
03:10Dude, I have her here with me.
03:12Okay, so what's her name?
03:13I understand you have a name for her now.
03:15Oh, well, okay.
03:20Yesterday I was like, you know, my publicist was like,
03:23where's Supergirl?
03:24I'm like, oh, Smalls.
03:25And he's like, oh my God, that's her name, Smalls.
03:29So one of her nicknames is Smalls.
03:32I love it.
03:33But I love her.
03:34I take her everywhere with me.
03:35It's just such a joy and such a constant wow moment.
03:40And I think her cape also makes everyone turn into a child.
03:45Like everyone will grab it and they'll go like.
03:48And for me, that is like so beautiful and honest.
03:53So I love it.
03:54I take her everywhere.
03:55Cause I'm like, you know, she just brightens up,
03:57Smalls brightens up the room.
03:59My name is Kara.
04:00I'm Barry.
04:01The degree of difficulty in having two as a performances,
04:05I think is going to get lost on a lot of people.
04:07Like I truly forgot I'm watching the same person
04:09give two performances.
04:11How much of that is captured on the set
04:13and how much of it is in the editing?
04:14Oh, the set, a hundred percent.
04:16That's what you get when you,
04:18when you're working with a extraordinary actor
04:21like Ezra Miller.
04:22Challenging, of course, as you said,
04:25but a lot of fun.
04:26And for an actor, it's a great,
04:29it's extra fun challenge and not many people can do it,
04:34I think.
04:35And Ezra did an incredible job.
04:37Their comedic timing is better than two other actors.
04:41Well, that's one of the things that I discovered
04:43when we started working with Ezra.
04:45I realized that they are not just an extraordinary actor,
04:48but an exceptional comedian.
04:50Their capacity, what I will say about Ezra,
04:52their capacity to, we,
04:54because we would shoot the main scene
04:57with them playing one side
04:59and then months later,
05:00we'd come back for him to play the next side.
05:03And it was all in his head.
05:06The ability to maintain that timing,
05:09the tone, months later,
05:12just genius.
05:13I mean, we,
05:14well, we were very fortunate to have Ed Wade with us,
05:17who was Ezra's body double.
05:20I love Ed Wade.
05:22It sucks, obviously,
05:23because he was there the same amount of hours as Ezra,
05:26with Ezra all the time.
05:27And this is me sending a hug and a kiss to Ed Wade
05:31because he really was there for us.
05:33But yes, it was also double the work for Ezra, you know?
05:37Like there was a lot of costume switches.
05:40Ed and Ezra kind of constantly had to switch
05:44to get those shots in every location.
05:48But, you know, we have an incredible director.
05:50It was, everybody was giving their all.
05:53And yeah, it was just, you know,
05:56when you make a movie with love,
05:58you hope that it turns out the best.
06:00But it is, and it's a new technology as well.
06:04So like props to visual effects
06:07and everybody who did that.
06:09I think it's a really, really cool thing,
06:12that technology and how it was done.
06:16And yeah, I hope that people enjoy it.
06:19Is that it?
06:20I'm going to be there opening night with fans.
06:22I can't wait.
06:23Yes, with your stash shirt?
06:25My stash shirt, yes.
06:27You know what would be funny?
06:28If we had one of me with a stash,
06:30even though I can't grow one,
06:31but I think it would be funny.
06:33I will make that.
06:35I will get that made.
06:36I think it would be funny.
06:37And I'll make two of them.
06:38One for me and one for you.
06:39Can you send, you can send me one?
06:41If you give me your,
06:42get your people to get your information to me
06:44and I will get to that.
06:45All right, I'll get my people to get your people.
06:47And we'll do this.
06:49Thank you so much for being here with me.
06:51Of course, no problem.
06:52Take care.
06:53Bye.
