First trailer of 'The Batman' starring Robert Pattinson unveiled at DC FanDome event

The much-awaited trailer of Matt Reeves’ The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, was released at the virtual DC FanDome convention on August 22. The trailer, which is little less than three minutes, shows a darker version of the Gotham City than its previous cinematic adaptions. While speaking at the convention, Reeves said that this version of The Batman isn’t an origin story, however, it will ‘touch upon his origin’. The trailer altogether gives a vibe of a different approach. It also introduced other characters, including Jeffrey Wright as detective James Gordon and Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle. The film takes place two years into Bruce Wayne’s career as The Batman, where he still is a vigilante. READ: 'Dark Knight Rises' Ending Explained: What Is The Fate Of Batman, John Blake, And Gotham?
