The first official clip from The Batman has found its way online, revealing an extended look at the funeral scene where Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson), Bella Reál (Jayme Lawson), and Commissioner James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) are present, paying their respects to the dearly departed.
However, things quickly take a turn when someone crashes the funeral, presumably under the Riddler's (Paul Dano) orders, and delivers an explosive message for The Batman.
A pair of new TV spots have also surfaced, seemingly confirming that tickets will finally go on sale on February 10, so make sure to mark your calendars to book your seats for the first major comic book movie of the year!

The Batman hits theaters March 4, 2022.
Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), 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 (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright)—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 underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Zoë Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka the Penguin (Colin Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), and Edward Nashton/aka the Riddler (Paul Dano). As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.
