LOS ANGELES: Warner Bros has unveiled its latest trailer for ‘The Batman’, which features Robert Pattinson’s first turn as the tortured cape crusader and some intense action scenes.
The trailer unveiled on Saturday at the DC FanDome event shows Pattinson’s Dark Knight methodically taking down bad guys despite being outnumbered and his Batsuit absorbing multiple bullets as he doesn’t have much ‘control over his personality’.
The footage teases a dark, bleak and violent version of Batman, with Pattinson’s voice saying about the Bat-Signal: “Fear is a tool. When the light hits the sky, it’s not just a call. It’s a warning.”
The trailer features multiple iconic characters, including Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman, Colin Farrell as The Penguin and Batman’s muscle car Batmobile tearing up the streets and emerging from explosions unscathed.
The trailer opens with police arresting a man in a cafe. The milk in his coffee is swirled into a question mark, the calling card of Batman’s nemesis The Riddler. Later in the footage, Pattinson’s voice is heard describing the situation in Gotham City: “This is a powder keg. The Riddler’s the match.”
The film has been directed by Matt Reeves. The first teaser for the film released at last year’s FanDome, was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. ‘The Batman’ will release in cinemas on March 4, 2022.
Vengeance has arrived at #DCFanDome. Watch the new trailer for The Batman now! Only in theaters March 4.
