The first trailer for Matt Reeves’ The Batman was revealed during the final panel at DC FanDome.
The trailer, which is set to Nirvana’s “Something in the Way,” mostly features the Riddler (Paul Dano), who’s leaving deadly teasers for the Batman and Commissioner Gordon (Jeffrey Wright). We also see Robert Pattinson in the Batsuit and driving the Batmobile and a few clips of Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman.
“The hell you suppose to be?” asks the leader of white-painted face gang to the Batman in the trailer. “I’m vengeance,” Robert Pattinson’s Batman replies.
During the panel, Reeves said that The Batman won’t be an origin story, but that it will start in “Year Two” of Batman’s emergence where Batman, Catwoman, the Riddler, and the Penguin (Collin Farrell) are in the beginning stages of their development. Batman also uncovers corruption in the city and how it may tie back to the wealthy and powerful Wayne family.
The film also stars John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Jayme Lawson, and Andy Serkis.
The Batman suspended production due to COVID-19 and it’s supposed to start filming again in early September. Reeves said he’s only shot 25% of the film, which delayed the release from June to October 2021.
