The Batman

Product Information

Matt is working on [The Batman - Part II], which he thinks of as a Batman crime saga, which also includes the Penguin TV series," Gunn explained. "And it is its own thing and he's hard at work on that. He came in and pitched us some amazing, really cool stuff the other day. So our plan is for that to continue." Nolan ended his Dark Knight Trilogy with a send-off that sees Bale (who turned down the chance for a fourth installment) as a Batman pushed to his farthest limits as his city becomes an anarchic “No Man’s Land." Once again, however, it is the villains who steal the spotlight in The Dark Knight Rises with Tom Hardy as a properly imposing and intelligent Bane and Anne Hathaway surprising fans as a cunning Catwoman who joins forces with Batman in one of the coolest rival team-ups in recent memory.

Does that mean a Catwoman spin-off is on the way? Or could we see Kravitz's Kyle in another Batman film down the line? Here's hoping.Over the years, more than a few of Hollywood’s biggest names have donned the cowl. From Adam West’s lycra-clad crusader in the ’60s, to Christian Bale and his gritty, gravel-voiced modern take on Gotham’s protector – every new actor has something different to add to the role. Now, there’s a new dark knight on the prowl. On January 8, 2022, Warner Bros. shared two new images of villains Riddler (played by Paul Dano) and Penguin (Colin Farrell), as well as some other pics and a pair of behind-the-scenes photos. I think that really looking at Batman as somebody who has gone through this trauma, and then everything that he’s doing is then a reaction to that, rather than shy away from that, I think this film leans into that in some very fun and surprising ways,” Tomlin said. He added: “I kind of like the fact that not only are there very, very, very well-done versions of the character which seem pretty definitive, but I was thinking that there are multiple definitive playings of the character.

It's a good Batman movie, I don't think it's as bold or original as Nolan's films but it definitely accentuates crucial themes of the character. According to We Got This Covered, True Detective star Matthew McConaughey is reportedly in talks to play Two-Face/Harvey Dent. UPDATE: Speaking about landing the part of Catwoman, Zoe Kravitz told Variety: “I was excited when I got the role, and usually when you get a job the people who are excited about it are you, your parents, your agent, your friends and that’s kind of it. The Flash is DC's answer to Marvel's multiverse-spanning story. (Image credit: Warner Bros. Pictures)Nearly always in the Batman costume for the entire runtime, this is the most on-screen Batman we've probably gotten in a film ever. With the solid addition of Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, the comradery/romance that sparks between Kravitz and Pattinson was incredibly electric. This wasn't a surprise to me though, because director Matt Reeves has proven that he's a real actors director. His work in the past has always impressed me and even though I don't think The Batman is quite as good as his Planet of the Apes films, it's damn close. He also has a connection to DC Comics adaptations. He portrayed the villainous Hector Hammond in 2011’s Green Lantern. Carmine Falcone has previously been played by Tom Wilkinson in 2005’s Batman Begins, with John Doman also taking on the role for the Gotham TV show.

Talking further about the new film in an interview with SiriusXM (via The Hollywood Reporter), Wright called the film the “next evolution” of Gotham. Director Matt Reeves has shared the first footage from the set of The Batman. In the new video, dark and foreboding music is immediately heard before we eventually receive our first look at Robert Pattinson as The Caped Crusader.

The Batman 2 release date

Co-writer Mattson Tomlin said in August 2020 that the film will dig deep into Batman’s trauma. He discussed Reeves as a filmmaker during an interview with Den Of Geek, saying that Reeves is “always coming from a point of emotion” rather than focusing purely on action.
