The details of how Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne finally meets Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman in DC's upcoming standalone film The Batman have been revealed. Unrelated to the ongoing DC Extended Universe franchise, this latest reboot sees the Caped Crusader during his second year of defending the citizens of Gotham City and facing off against a new enemy, the intellectual terrorist known simply as the Riddler, who is targeting Gotham's elite population. Directed and co-written by Matt Reeves, the film is set to be the first in a new Batman trilogy and ignite another cinematic shared universe for DC, with plans already being drawn up for sequels and a number of spinoff series.
Along with Pattinson and Kravitz, The Batman boasts an impressive line-up of stars appearing as friends and foes of the cowl-wearing vigilante. With Paul Dano as the Riddler, Colin Farrell as the Penguin, and John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, it looks like the Dark Knight will have his hands full in dealing with the scum of Gotham City. However, he evidently won't be at it alone, with Andy Serkis stepping in as the Waynes' ever-faithful butler Alfred Pennyworth and Jeffrey Wright featuring as Batman's GCPD ally Lieutenant James Gordon. But it's Batman's relationship with the ethically ambiguous Catwoman that has been the primary focus for much of the film's marketing campaign, suggesting that the pair will combine forces during the film despite their disparate moral codes.
