The Batman: New Trailer & What We Learned From It

The latest trailer for The Batman is here.

Over the weekend the newest trailer for The Batman was released at DC FanDome. We got a great look at Robert Pattinson’s Batman and a whole slew of characters. Here’s the trailer, and check below for some things we learned.

First, we got better looks at some highly anticipated characters. The first look trailer focused more on Paul Dano’s Riddler. This one focuses on Batman of course, but also more on Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman. We see her in the trailer telling Batman she can fend for herself and filling the friend/foe role she often has in the comics. The trailer also gives us our first look at Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth and gives us more shots of Colin Farrell as The Penguin. Farrell seems to be a delight.

We also get a less-refined Batman. Director Matt Reeves has said that this isn’t an origin story movie but does look at a Batman who is still coming into his own as a crimefighter. It sure looks like he’s a bit more direct in his fighting style. He often relies on his armor holding up, using less stealth and more brute strength against foes. Maybe Bruce Wayne will learn some more finesse over the course of the film.

The other big takeaway from this trailer is that it is visually stunning. It looks and feels different from other Batman entities we’ve had before. There is more contrast, including shots of Batman out in the city at dusk and dawn. It looks like a version of the hero we haven’t seen before, which is perfect for a franchise that has been revisited so often.

The Batman releases in theatres on March 4, 2022.
