We’ve been pretty excited about director Matt Reeves’ upcoming take on The Caped Crusader, titled simply THE BATMAN. You might remember the first trailer for this film came to use courtesy of DC Fandome last year, when at the time the movie was supposed to hit in October 2021… thanks to Covid, that release date was pushed back. Robert Pattinson stars as Bruce Wayne this time around, and it’s been revealed that like JOKER, this movie takes place in an alternate universe, meaning it doesn’t cross over or conflict with any of the previous Batman movies. And now we have a new look by way of a new trailer, and like before it really doesn’t disappoint. If anything, this take on The Dark Knight is perhaps the most gritty and dark we’ve ever seen, drawing comparisons to movies like SEVEN and the style of David Fincher. The cast features Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as district attorney Gil Colson, Jayme Lawson as Bella Reál (a man running for mayor of Gotham), Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Colin Farrell as the Penguin. Check out the newest trailer below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies — Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) — amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens.
When a killer targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.
