    Looks like the names are switched up in the post. Alex Gartner produced Barbershop 2 and Out of Time while Charles Roven produced Batman Begins, Three Kings and Twelve Monkeys. Even the imdb links in the post show this.

    They're producers, not directors. Gartner's poor resume probably won't prevent this from being a good movie.

    Producers don't actually have anything to do with making a movie. You'll never actually hear anyone say, "ooo, he's a good producer."
