Warner Bros. is pulling out all the stops to build excitement for The Batman, though that's hardly a surprise. The movie stands a chance of being the biggest box office hit since Spider-Man: No Way Home, and after a year of sacrificing theatrical revenue for HBO Max subscribers, a record-breaking opening will be welcomed by the studio.
In this minute-long sneak peek released during last night's NBA All-Star Game, even more incredible footage from Matt Reeves' DC Comics adaptation is revealed. It gets a little spoilery in places, though, as we see Batman squaring off with The Riddler and learn more about the Caped Crusader's dynamic with Catwoman in this "Batverse."
There's also a unique shot of Batman gliding through the streets of Gotham City with the camera showing a closeup of the Dark Knight's face in what looks like an intense moment for the vigilante. He is only in the second year of his crimefighting career here, so may still be learning the ropes.
Check out this newly released TV spot for The Batman below:
In The Batman, two years of stalking the streets as the Batman, striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies - Alfred Pennyworth, Lt. James Gordon - amongst the city's corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as the sole embodiment of vengeance amongst his fellow citizens. When a killer targets Gotham's elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World's Greatest Detective on an investigation into the city's underworld.
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.
