With Morbius pushed to April, The Batman will now be 2022's first superhero blockbuster. The expectation is that it will be a huge hit for Warner Bros., with many pundits predicting an opening weekend well beyond $100 million (the fact that it's not debuting simultaneously on HBO Max should help).
Today, we have another new magazine cover for the DC Comics adaptation featuring a stunning shot of Robert Pattinson's Caped Crusader overlooking a rainy Gotham City.
It's a great piece of imagery and one that offers a detailed look at the cowl this version of the hero will don. Matt Reeves' take on the World's Greatest Detective promises to be unlike anything we've seen on screen before, and this homemade-style costume is quite a departure from the technologically advanced Batsuits we saw in The Dark Knight Trilogy and Justice League.
The Batman finds the Caped Crusader in his early years, struggling to balance rage with righteousness as he investigates a disturbing mystery that has terrorized Gotham. Robert Pattinson delivers a raw, intense portrayal of Batman as a disillusioned, desperate vigilante awakened by the realization that the anger consuming him makes him no better than the ruthless serial killer he’s hunting.
Joining Pattinson in the star-studded ensemble are Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle; Paul Dano as Edward Nashton; Jeffrey Wright as the GCPD’s James Gordon; John Turturro as Carmine Falcone; Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson; Barry Keoghan as Officer Stanley Merkel; Jayme Lawson as mayoral candidate Bella Reál; with Andy Serkis as Alfred; and Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot.
The Batman is set to be released in theaters on March 4.
