| - Batman: Eye of the Storm is a 2015 superhero action-thriller film written and directed by Guy Ritchie. Much like its predecessor, it features an ensemble cast of Michael Fassbender, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sir Ian McKellen, Jessica Chastain, Andy Serkis, Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Romijin, Kevin Spacey and Liev Schreiber. The film follows the previous film, where Batman is forced to face a self-corrupting Gotham law system and the mechanical schemes of the enigmatic Riddler. Just like its predecessor, the majority of the film was shot in New York, since Gotham is based on New York. The scenes in Arkham Asylum were all artificial set-pieces, and the climactic sewer sequence was filmed also in a studio with set-pieces that Ritchie had a hand in designing. The casting of Leonardo DiCaprio was decided when DiCaprio voiced interest in playing a Batman villain, and Ritchie originally planned for him to play the Joker. However, he immediately likened DiCaprio to the Riddler instead and, upon reading the script, the cast agreed with this decision, while Andy Serkis was an immediate choice for Killer Croc because of his past motion-capture performances. The film opened in IMAX cinemas in the UK, US and Middle-East in November 2015 and was a box-office success, grossing over $1.4 billion out of its $215 million budget and thus surpassing the previous film. It was acclaimed by critics for its CGI, special effects, action, score, direction and the performances of Fassbender, DiCaprio and Serkis. Fans also acclaimed it for its incorporation of comic-book elements and original storylines (Particularly that of the Riddler).
