The Batman: Year One Commemorative Edition Blu-ray is now available, and it includes a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Matt Reeves' The Batman.

As the title suggests, "Reinventing Gordon" takes a closer look at this latest incarnation of the Dark Knight's partner in crime-fighting, Commissioner Jim Gordon. The character has been played by some heavy-hitters over the years, including Gary Oldman and J.K. Simmons, but Jeffrey Wright (Westworld, No Time To Die) plans on putting his own spin on Gotham City's incorruptible lawman.

Wright talks about his take on Gordon in the video, which also includes some new footage of the police lieutenant (he won't be commissioner when we first meet him) investigating a crime scene alongside Robert Pattinson's Caped Crusader.

"The Batman is an edgy, action-packed thriller that depicts Batman in his early years, struggling to balance rage with righteousness as he investigates a disturbing mystery that has terrorized Gotham," reads the movie's updated synopsis. "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."

The Batman also Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Paul Dano as The Riddler, Andy Serkis as Alfred, and Colin Farrell as The Penguin. The movie is set to hit theaters on March 4, 2022.

@AmazingFILMporg - when Gordon says "Does this mean anything to you?" and holds up the envelope, I imagine Batmans response is "Hey, that's my name!"

Gordon should know opening someone else's mail is a crime!

Pattinson really winning me over with his portrayal of Bats. I like how intense this take on a young Batman is.

Reinventing Gordon? How? Is he still a heroic cop, whose trapped in a corrupt city with a corrupt police force? If so, how is he reinvented?

@dagenspear

It’s a new take on an established character. Not all that deep to read into.

@dagenspear - Well, they reinvented his skin color

@dagenspear - Maybe they are giving this Gordon more of a backstory (something perhaps he has lacked in past movies) so he might be the ‘same’ cop, but we might get an understanding of what drives him to remain uncorrupted by Gotham, why does this Gordon trust this Batman.

I get what you are saying, but even if the surface is the same we can explore the differences in the mechanisms driving that character.

@regularmovieguy - What's new? What's reinvented?
dagenspear
dagenspear - 11/14/2021, 8:15 PM
@KWilly - That's not a real difference. It doesn't make it a reinvention really, to me.

@Knightrider - I kinda get wary of using the term reinvention. If it's just like more backstory for the character, in a certain way, depending on what it is, I think it's not a real issue, for me.

@dagenspear - Well the movie isn’t out yet, we’ll see what’s reinvented when it is.

@Reeds2Much - the whole reason he fights at night is because he sparkles in the daylight, and he's tired of people laughing at him.
