I think I was much more of a gritty feel is what we were going for,” Aronofsky told The Playlist. The Black Swan director did not give any details in regards to what he would have done with Bruce Wayne, if he had helmed the films for Warner Bros. Aronofksy’s last film was the psychological thriller _Mother!_ starring Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem and Michelle Pfeiffer. He also directed Requiem for a Dream with Jared Leto and The Wrestler Mickey Rourke. (With inputs from Press Trust of India)
