Total Film recently unveiled a pair of stunning covers for The Batman, and they've now shared three new stills featuring The Dark Knight putting his detective skills to use.
The images see Batman (Robert Pattinson) on the beat with Detective Jim Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) as they attempt to solve The Riddler's (Paul Dano) lethal puzzles. We also see the Caped Crusader approach (interrogate?) Gotham DA Gil Colson (Peter Sarsgaard), who has been wired to explode by the enigmatic villain.
Director Matt Reeves spoke to mag for their latest issue, explaining where his love for the iconic DC Comics hero originated.
"I loved [Batman] since I was a kid, and I was introduced to the character through the Adam West TV series. The show came out the same year I was born. Every time that the movies came out, I was a huge fan. I just never thought that the opportunity would come my way."
"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.”
We recently learned that The Batman will be rated PG-13 for “strong violence, disturbing content, drug content, strong language, and some suggestive material.” The movie is set to hit theaters on March 4.
