Thanks to filmmaker Matt Reeves, we can now listen to The Riddler's theme from Michael Giacchino's The Batman soundtrack. Appropriately titled "The Riddler," it's a haunting piece of music that suits the deranged psychopath - who will be portrayed as a Zodiac Killer-style murderer - perfectly.
This Edward Nashton doesn't wear a colourful green suit with a bowler hat and cane, and Reeves recently shed some light on the villain's costume choice during an interview with Games Radar.
"I read Mindhunter. It made me think of the Zodiac killer, and how he actually wore this primitive costume that really is a primitive superhero costume...a rogues’ gallery costume," the director explains. "And I was like, 'Oh, that’s really scary, the idea of people really wearing masks, and withholding their identities, and terrorizing people, and how scary that is.'"
We're hopeful that Catwoman's theme will be next, as we're sure Giacchino has done something similarly unique with Selina Kyle. The fact that tracks like this are generating so much excitement online is also a good indication of how hyped fans are for this Caped Crusader's big screen debut.
The Batman finds The Dark Knight in his early years, struggling to balance rage with righteousness as he investigates a disturbing mystery that has terrorized Gotham.
Joining Robert 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.
