With The Batman set to hit theaters exactly two months from today, Warner Bros. has debuted a new TV spot for Matt Reeves' reboot via the movie's official Twitter account.
Although most of the footage in the 30-second promo could be seen in the recent "The Bat and The Cat" trailer, some new shots are spotlighted. In addition to a brief glimpse of Oswald Cobbelpot/The Penguin (Colin Farrell), we see a little more of The Dark Knight (Robert Pattinson) and Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz) in action as they join forces in an attempt to suppress Gotham City's criminal underworld.
Rumors persists that Eternals actor Barry Keoghan is actually playing The Joker, and while that obviously remains to be seen, we can tell you that The Batman does have a few surprises in store for DC Comics fans!
"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.”
The Batman is set to hit theaters on March 4, 2022.
