Zodiac (2007) - Bat Signals

The NeverEnding Movie Marathon

Even if he never stepped on set, director David Fincher has his fingerprints all over 'The Batman' and this is the film to blame! Not only is Paul Dano's Riddler based on the real Zodiac Killer (just look at their similar masks), Fincher's meticulous craftsman style is a direct influence on Bat-director Matt Reeves.
We've been tracing the films that inspired 'The Batman' in this Bat Signals mini-marathon, and 'Zodiac' has the clearest visual influence of the three. Matt, Alex, and Rocco break down why this may be the crown jewel in Fincher's long career of greats and discuss how this film tries to capture accurate detective work like no film before it.
Plus, we dig into the literal smorgasbord of quirky character actors! I mean, you got...
The Marvels: Downey Jr, Ruffalo, and Gyllenhaal.
The TV Greats: Anthony Edwards, John Carroll Lynch and Donal Logue.
The Indie Darlings: Chloë Sevigny, Candy Clark, and Clea DuVall.
The Overqualified Ringers: Brian Cox and Philip Baker Hall!
Plus, the voice of Roger Rabbit!!! AND A McPOYLE?!
You done it again, Fincher!
