The new 'The Batman' trailer was unveiled at the virtual DC FanDome event where several announcements on the DC Universe was made. The 2 Minutes 24 seconds cut hints at the darkest ever film about the Dark Knight with vengeance as the central theme. This new reboot of one of the most popular superhero flicks seems to explore the early days of Bruce Wayne trying to adapt himself to be the caped crusader. The Riddler also seems to play a cat and mouse game with him leaving him clues in his postcards full of riddles and the superhero also needs to use his detective skills to get to the serial killer.

There are a lot of changes that can be seen including the tone of Gotham City, the bat suit, the Batmobile and the narrative style.

'The Batman' is directed by Matt Reeves of Planet of the Apes films fame with Robert Pattinson donning the bat suit for the first time in his career taking over from Christian Bale and Ben Affleck in the recent past. Paul Dano plays Batman's arch-nemesis The Riddler with Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Gordon. Only 25 percent of filming has been completed as of now and the rest will resume once normalcy returns.

'The Batman' trailer not only trended at number one worldwide on social media but also triggered a virtual fan war between the DC and the Marvel fans. The film was originally slated for release on June 21, 2021 but due to the coronavirus pandemic has been pushed to October 1st 2021.
