00:00I view it sort of as a grounded character drama of this very complicated man who at

00:04times is problematic and he's very smarmy, with a dark sense of humor.

00:09But I feel like it's really grounded, so there's really no heroes or villains on our show.

00:14There's just flawed, complicated people.

00:18Was there any point during the development process of this series that you considered

00:22having Batman make an appearance?

00:24We talked about it.

00:25You know, if it made sense for our story and didn't detract from other characters, I think

00:29we'd be open to it.

00:30But it just kept feeling like if Batman comes in, we don't want to steal the spotlight from

00:35Oz and Oz certainly would not appreciate that.

00:38Do you know if Robert Pattinson has watched the show or given his review?

00:42Well, we haven't aired yet, so I don't think Robert's seen it.

00:46Okay, okay.

00:47I didn't know if he had an exclusive that anyone else did.

00:49No, no.

00:50We're keeping this very under wraps.

00:51Okay, okay.

00:52Well, I know Kristen Milioti really shines through in this.

00:56What makes her the perfect Sophia?

00:58I mean, Kristen is a tremendous actor.

01:00She always has been.

01:01I think she's highly underrated.

01:02Even though everyone you talk to knows how excellent she is, somehow it still feels like

01:05she's underrated.

01:07She just has incredible range.

01:08She can do comedy and drama and she conveys so much in one look.

01:13I'm just very impressed with her and I'm honored that she's taken the role.

01:16I'm honored that she always has a great choice.

01:18And you also have a common perception between her and her clearerweise and she is actually

01:22very top trait so that I think the Movies cost is not ensuring that she's not very

01:25Wonderful, but we can do something out.

01:27You weigh on, what's the difference.

01:28You can check the calendar calculation on.

01:30I see your mom meeting.

01:31They'll also be able to show herarr soirary schuine face to those.

01:35Do you know what she's talking about?

01:37Wow hi-

01:38King and you've been able to show her to the sch Zeiten of color?
