All 7 Villains The Batman Sets Up
Warning! SPOILERS forThe Batman.
Matt Reeves' The Batman is a refreshing take on a familiar hero and a few infamous villains — here's all seven villains The Batman sets up for a future showdown. The Batman is the latest of many big-screen adaptations of the Caped Crusader, but unlike its predecessors, it explores Bruce Wayne's early days as a vigilante before he solidifies himself as Gotham's guardian. Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz are perfectly cast as Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, who are reluctantly working together to uncover a conspiracy in the city that goes all the way up to the mayor. The Batman is gearing up to kickstart its own franchise, with a sequel promised within the next five years.
In The Batman, Bruce Wayne goes out at night as a masked vigilante and faces some of Batman's most iconic villains, such as Penguin and the Riddler. However, the corruption in the city of Gotham, led by mob boss Carmine Falcone (John Turturro), is just as much of a villainous antagonist for the Bat. Selina Kyle, who becomes Catwoman, crosses his path when her friend Anika goes missing at the hands of Falcone, serving more as an ally and love interest than a villain-- as is sometimes her role. Calling himself «Vengeance,» Bruce tries to stop Riddler as he murders corrupt city officials, but as their crimes are revealed to the world, he realizes that most of Gotham's high-ranking officials are involved in shady dealings with Falcone.
