DC FanDome shared the much anticipated and funny first look at Robert Pattinson The Batman, where the young Dark Knight is in search of “revenge.”
The trailer, soundtracked by Nirvana’s “Something in the Way,” takes the Dark Knight back in the role of “vigilante detective” – as opposed to superhero – as the Riddler threatens Gotham City with mysterious murders and Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman is cat -burglarizing.
The teaser also provides the first full look at Pattinson in the Batman suit, Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, as well as an almost unrecognizable Colin Farrell as the Penguin.
Unlike Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, The Batman will not serve as another origin story for the DC icon; instead, The Batman picks up on “Year Two” of Bruce Wayne’s turn as a masked vigilante, Variation reports.
Reeves said during the DC FanDome panel that, due to coronavirus, only 25 percent of The Batman was filmed so far. As a result, the original release date of the summer of 2021 was postponed a few months to October 1, 2021.
in addition to The Batman, Reeves and Sopranos fat Terence Winter are working on a Gotham PD TV prequel spinoff series for the movie, with HBO Max already on board.
While The Batman will spawn her own pursuits, the film will remain unconnected from the rest of the DC Cinematic Universe – where Ben Affleck wraps up his turn as Batman – and will also not enter Gotham City which is seen in Joker.
