‘The Batman’: A Lost, Confused and Rage-Filled Caped Crusader [Trailer]

Saturday is supposed to be a slow news day in the movie biz, but today the long-awaited full-length trailer for Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” grabbed the zeitgeist like thunder. It’s been less than 4 hours since Warner Bros. posted it on YouTube and it already has close to 5 million views.

This is a lost, confused and rage-filled Caped Crusader. Pattinson looks surprisingly well-cast to take on the daunting task of tackling Batman/Bruce Wayne. Also, If I didn't know that the Penguin was Colin Farrell I would never have guessed it. He looks and sounds completely like … Richard Kind.

A few questions worth asking; Why are there clowns? Who is that masked serial killer, speaking via livestream? Is that Dano’s Riddler? Or someone else? There also seems to be a game of cat-and-mouse going on between Batman and Paul Dano’s The Riddler.

Reeves is going for a very interesting look. A lot of warm lighting is used here, akin to how a film noir might look. Greg Fraser (Zero Dark Thirty, Dune) is the credited cinematographer.
