— which debuted on Saturday during the DC Fandome virtual fan event — reveals a film that is unmistakably the darkest and most violent cinematic outing yet for the Caped Crusader, even when compared to Christopher Nolan’s gritty “Dark Knight” trilogy. In a Gotham City saturated in rain and gloom, Pattinson’s Batman, just a year into his reign as a costumed vigilante, attacks his enemies with a visceral, unhinged brutality that past live-action Batman movies never quite reached.
The trailer opens with the arrest of the Riddler, but although we know the role is played by Paul Dano, director Matt Reeves keeps the character’s face hidden throughout the trailer, suggesting some kind of shocking reveal. Like the teaser that, this trailer only hints at the underlying story of “The Batman,” but Dano’s Riddler is clearly the main antagonist driving it, as a serial killer who leaves cryptic clues with his victims and holds a special fixation on Batman.
Instead, the trailer provides a more extensive first look at two other central characters. First among them isas Catwoman, who, true to comic-book form, has a penchant for hiding in plain sight in a series of wigs and is curious about the man behind Batman’s trademark cowl. The character has been memorably played on screen by Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992’s “Batman Returns” and Anne Hathaway in 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises.
“I don’t want her to be an idea, you know, I want her to be a real human being in a real situation in a real city trying to survive and reacting to her own pain,” Kravitz said about the character in the Fandome panel with Pattinson and Reeves. Meanwhile, the last time the Penguin appeared in a Batman movie, he was played in “Batman Returns” by Danny DeVito as a disfigured man who nonetheless still looked recognizably like the actor. To which the filmmakers of “The Batman” said, hold my beer: because
Best batman film incoming 🔥
None of them looks good.
Better movie than bat fleck.
Shame the vibe is off. Still glad to see that MUA is still getting work…
He looks like Harvey Weinstein
The stupidest thing about the movie
He has big shoes to fill.
Not that it would need it, but this is how you sell a movie....TheBatman
🔥🔥🔥🖤🦇
Excited! Robert Pattinson was tremendous in Tenet Looking forward to Batman
Before the trailer
And it’s about damn time
Worst choice ever for an actress playing Carwoman. She looks like the terrible Halley Berry.
FINALLY!!! You don't know how long I've been waiting for a comicbook accurate portrayal of Catwoman? I hope she's in all the movies.

Im so use to him being the bad guy
Andy Serkis: butler.
TheBatman looks 👌 but the Flash is gonna blow the socks off ya!
Rooftop!
Batman is supposed to have a crude guttural voice. It's like a demon would have or someone who would enjoy beating you. However, based on the trailer I just saw, I am excited about this movie.
He looks miscast.
Is it just me or did the trailer seem disjointed? Thought the teaser trailer had more structure to it.

Batfleck was everything you just mentioned yet multiple film critics lost their damn minds about how this wasn't a Batman they could share with their kids. Pattinson Batman sits at the same table as Affleck's Batman.
LOL you missed all the Nolan trilogy apparently.
Have you not seen this scene? that’s pretty visceral and unhinged brutality no?
I hope the reviews will be good. I don't trust WB.
The Penguin? I honestly thought he was playing Carmine Falcone lol
why? why they have to do that to catwoman
