Warner Bros. has finally released the first teaser trailer of the much-awaited ‘The Batman’ during the DC FanDome. The virtual DC FanDome from Warner Bros comes after real-world extravaganzas beloved by comic-book fans- such as Comic-Con were cancelled this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Robert Pattinson led movie is directed by Matt Reeves and penned by Reeves and Mattson Tomlin.
The first trailer shows a strikingly darker version of the Gotham City than its previous cinematic adaptations. The 2 minutes 30 seconds long teaser focuses mostly on the presence of Riddler (Paul Dano), who is leaving a series of deadly teasers for the Batman and Commissioner Gordon (Jefery Wright). The trailer also reveals a few glimpses of Zoe Kravitz as the Catwoman and provides the first full look of Pattinson in the Batsuit and driving the Batmobile.
The video, set to Nirvana song “Something in the Way,” has Pattinson’s Caped Crusader and Jeffrey Wright’s Commissioner Gordon looking into a bunch of murders by The Riddler (Paul Dano), who characteristically is also leaving puzzles for Batman to solve. The clip also reveals Pattinson’s look in full Batsuit and a few glimpses of Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman.
Gotham City is a dingy, filthy and a crime-ridden city and things are not going to be easy for a costumed crimefighter, even for somebody with a peak physical condition and a high tech gadgets like Batman. The teaser reflects that.
Before the panel debuted, Warner Bros. also released a series of first-look images of Pattinson as Bruce Wayne and Batman from the film.
Of late, Reeves has been regularly teasing glimpses of his film. In February, he treated fans with a video of Pattinson wearing the Batsuit with a snippet of Michael Giacchino’s score for the film. A few weeks later, video and photos from the set leaked later of the Batcycle and a more complete look at the Batsuit, and in early March, Reeves tweeted an official first look at the Batmobile. The Matt Reeves directorial had to suspend production due to COVID-19 pandemic and is set to start filming again in early September. Reeves said he had shot just 25 per cent of the film so far, and the delay pushed the official release date from June to October 2021.
The movie also stars John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Jayme Lawson and Andy Serkis.
