The Batman Trailer Shows A Surprisingly Funny Side To The DC Movie
A new TV spot for Warner Bros.' upcoming Dark Knight reboot The Batman showcases the film's more humorous side. With Robert Pattinson donning the cowl as the titular vigilante, the latest outing for Bob Kane's most famous creation is set to feature Batman battling it out against the Riddler (Paul Dano), as the psychotic intellectual targets Gotham City's elites and forces Bruce Wayne to confront his family past. Directed and co-written by Cloverfield's Matt Reeves, Pattinson's superhero debut will be unrelated to the DC Extended Universe franchise, whose current Caped Crusader is in flux.
Joining Pattinson in his interminable quest for justice is Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Jeffrey Wright as Lieutenant James Gordon, and Andy Serkis as his ever-loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth. They won't be short of villains to face-off against either, with Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin and John Turturro as crime lord Carmine Falcone providing more grief for the troubled hero as he hunts down the Riddler. As the release date for the film looms ever closer, fans have been treated to a fair number of teasers and trailers from The Batman ahead of its premiere, revealing more and more about what this latest reboot will offer devotees of Gotham City's ardent protector.

But despite this, it's also evident that the film won't be without its sense of humor either.
