Last year’s DC FanDome featured the debut of the very first trailer for The Batman, which was then still early in production. Fans can expect the film’s 2nd trailer, which is supposedly listed around the 2 and half minute mark, to feature many more shots of Pattinson’s Batman in action along with the other villainous characters like Paul Dano’s Riddler and Colin Farrell’s Penguin.
From this new photo and the brief glimpses he has shared in previous months, it appears that Reeves' film is more faithful to the original comics, with an even grittier, more gothic Gotham City that is closer down the path of Tim Burton’sBatmanfilms rather thanChristopher Nolan’s more grounded, realistic trilogy. Reeves confirmed that the film will focus heavily on a noir-driven, detective version asThe Batmanwill take place in Bruce Wayne’s/Batman’s second year of fighting as he is forced to deal with corruption and tracking down a new enemy known as the Riddler.
If fans are liking what they are seeing (which it most certainly seems like they do), they will get plenty of more content from the Reeves/PattinsonBatmanuniverse. There are already two planned sequels and two spin-off television series in early development for HBO Max, withone series centering on the Penguinand the other focusing on the Gotham City Police Department, as the series was revealed to be set during Batman’s first year of crime-fighting, from the perspective of a corrupt GCPD officer.
The Batmanalso stars Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone,Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Peter Sarsgaard as district attorney Gil Colson, and Barry Keoghan as young officer Stanley Merkel. It is set to release in theatres on March 4th, 2022
