Directed by Matt Reeves, The Batman also sees Zoe Kravitz filling the role of Catwoman, Colin Farrell as The Penguin (which sent the internet into a mild freakout), Paul Dano as The Riddler, and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon. The trailer also gives us a look at the new Batmobile, which was the centre of much fanfare earlier this year. According to Reeves, the film is set to take place in the second year of Batman’s career.

Beginning with a masked man crouching over a dead body, The Batman trailer cuts to the victim’s face covered in duct tape with the words “No more lies” written in red, before offering a gritty, gothic vision of Gotham City, complete with Robert Pattinson wearing eyeliner.

The Batman is reportedly due out October 1, 2021. Watch the trailer below.
