Rotten Tomatoes revealed the score for Robert Pattinson's The Batman, and it stands at 89% with 142 reviews. The Batman is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling installments in the caped crusader's repertoire, with critics and audiences' early reviews praising it on social media. The reboot has Planet of The Apes director Matt Reeves at the helm and Robert Pattinson donning the cape and cowl for the first time. It offers a fresh, darker take on the world's greatest detective and will focus on Bruce Wayne's second year as Gotham City's masked vigilante. While initially set for a June 2021 release, Warner Bros pushed back by a year due to the ongoing pandemic.

The film's plot will see Pattinson's Batman face off against an updated Zodiac-type version of the Riddler played by Paul Dano. The movie also stars an unrecognizable Collin Farrel as the Penguin and John Turturro as Carmine Falcone. Batman will also count on a few allies to join his fight against the three iconic villains. On his side is Andy Serkis as Batman's longtime butler and caretaker Alfred Pennyworth, Zoë Kravitz as a young Selina Kyle, and Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, before becoming the commissioner of the GCPD.
