Variety actually spoke to Batgirl star Leslie Grace about getting to work with the legend. However, it seems as though her directors might have been the ones geeking out in Batman’s presence. “It was wild for everyone,” Grace explained. “Our directors were like two little kids. They’re legit Batman nerds openly. He’s Batman, man! I couldn’t even believe that I was sharing space with Batman. I want to say more, but I can’t. It was insane, surreal, incredible. It was the stuff of dreams really.”
Later, in that same conversation, she said that working with Keaton, J.K. Simmons, and Brendan Fraser was basically a dream. “Oh my gosh. Such a blessing, such a school. I got to really soak up the knowledge of our veterans like Brendan Fraser, who plays our villain Firefly,” Grace said. “Never in a million years did I think that on my second film, I would be on a set with Brendan and J.K. Simmons playing my character’s dad, and Michael Keaton, the O.G Tim Burton Batman.”
“That’s the stuff you can only dream of. So anytime I was on set with any of them, I’m always soaking up,” the actress added. “Anytime I’m on set period, even if I am the only person on camera, I’m trying to soak up from the crew from. Any amount of experience [is helpful]. And our crew is incredible as well. But those guys, they were just so generous with their knowledge. And there were so many fun conversations with Brendan and with J.K. It was incredible.”
