And now right here it’s, the primary take a look at Robert Pattinson as the latest, and unusually gothiest model of the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves upcoming “The Batman.” The trailer dropped throughout throughout DC Fandome, and you may watch it above proper now.

Set early on within the Dark Knight’s profession — Matt Reeves stated in the course of the movie’s DC FanDome panel that it’ll discover Bruce Wayne’s second yr within the cowl — the movie skips the origin story in favor of a story exploring how Batman earns the nickname “the world’s greatest detective.” Reeves has described his movie as a “defining” and “very personal” story.

Even so, it has a number of the regular Batman origin story beats, like the truth that criminals don’t but know who he’s, and naturally what seems to be his first battle with an actual supervillain — which as everyone knows goes to be The Riddler. This model of the Riddler is certainly not the laughing troll performed by Frank Gorshin within the 1960s “Batman,” or the campy drama queen performed by Jim Carrey in “Batman Forever.” He’s extra of a Zodiac Killer-style creep committing crimes and leaving notes for the cops to search out. Works for us, particularly because it’s a pleasant break from The Joker.

We additionally get glimpses of Zoe Kravitz, who performs Catwoman, and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon, and hell sure to each. But this trailer is all about our very very gothed out Dark Night Robert Pattinson, wanting like he chills out with a The Smiths listening session after a night bringing violent, bone-cracking justice to Gotham’s criminals. “I’m Vengeance!” is each a Bat-motto and the form of factor we’d have written in our diaries at 15 AND NO THAT IS NOT A COMPLAINT.
