The Batman’s opening sequence, in which “vengeance” emerges from the darkness, is recreated in an awesome animated video. Writer/director Matt Reeves' reboot released in theaters on March 4. The film stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin, Jeffrey Wright as Lieutenant James Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, and Paul Dano as Riddler.
Following Ben Affleck’s departure from what would have been his DCEU version of The Batman, it was announced that Pattinson would become the third Dark Knight in a decade. The casting of the former Twilight star drew mixed reactions from those unfamiliar with his spectacular indie work. The Batman’s first trailer was released during DC FanDome in 2020, and it silenced all of those naysayers. Set to Nirvana’s “Something in the Way,” the teaser unveiled a gritty, noir thriller featuring a brutal Batman. In particular, the scene where Pattinson’s Caped Crusader pummels a face-painted goon in front of his terrified associates took the internet by storm. Every subsequent trailer, clip, and first look exacerbated anticipation for one of the year’s biggest films.

Inspired by comics like Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s Batman: Year One, The Batman follows Bruce Wayne in his second year as his very rainy city's vigilante. He does not have it all figured out. Riddler serves as the film’s main villain, a serial killer in the vein of the Zodiac, targeting Gotham’s corrupt elites and leaving a trail of ciphers and clues for the World’s Greatest Detective. Riddler’s crusade brings many things to light, including some uncomfortable truths about the Wayne family and how Bruce orientates himself as “vengeance.” From its look and feel to narration, The Batman is reminiscent of stories Batman fans grew up with on television, the page, or in panels.
Recently, The Batman had a Thursday box office take of $21.6 million, beating out the previous DC highs of Joker, Aquaman, and Suicide Squad. As for the weekend, early estimations are massive as fans debate whether the film can even touch The Dark Knight's legendary status. Comparisons aside, The Batman’s story, character development, action sequences, cinematography, score, and 3-hour runtime—which never bores—is everything fans want in a contemporary comic book flick. The film is now poised to birth its own Bat-Verse outside the DCEU, including HBO Max spinoffs focusing on Penguin and Arkham Asylum. The Batman itself will reportedly release on HBO Max on April 19, 2022.
