The famous Batman villain hasn&#8217;t been done in live-action, and it&#8217;s easy to see him just being some kind of CGI monstrosity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, it sounds like it won&#8217;t just be some CGI fest. With Mike Flanagan co-writing the script and Speak No Evil director James Watkins helming the film, it promises to be a true horror movie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While CGI is used heavily in horror, all of the best horror films use practical effects. According to DC Studios head James Gunn, he&#8217;s loving what he&#8217;s seeing from the film and spoke about the visual effects.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<div style=\"max-height:none;overflow:visible\">\n<p>Warner Bros&amp;period; Animation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cSome dallies I\u2019ve seen \u2026 it\u2019s just this old school body horror visual effects, it\u2019s so cool,\u201d Gunn said on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QPayDair1so\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Morning After Pod;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Morning After Pod<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With Flanagan writing, we know we&#8217;re getting a movie that will be thought-provoking and have great drama.

The movie will definitely have to have some level of CGI, but it sounds like it&#8217;ll be a mix.
