The Batman

The Batman is a 2022 superhero film based on the hugely popular DC Comics character Batman. Produced by DC Films, 6th & Idaho, and Dylan Clark Productions, and set for distribution by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is a reboot of the Batman film franchise. The film is directed by Matt Reeves, who wrote the screenplay with Peter Craig. Reeves has been quoted as saying this will be the scariest Batman film yet, and could even be considered a horror movie in many ways.

In his second year of fighting crime, Batman uncovers corruption in Gotham City that connects to his own family while facing a serial killer known as the Riddler.

The cast includes Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / Batman, alongside Zoë Kravitz, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Wright, John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell.

Ben Affleck, who portrayed Batman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), was set to direct, produce, co-write, and star in The Batman in 2014, but in 2017 he chose not to write or direct due to his dissatisfaction with the script. Reeves was hired to take over and reworked Affleck's story to focus on a younger Batman. He sought to emphasize the detective side of the character to a greater extent than previous Batman films, and was inspired by the comic books "Year One" (1987), The Long Halloween (1996–1997), and "Ego" (2000).

The Batman is scheduled to hit theaters on March 4th, 2022. Two sequels are planned and two spin-off television series are also in development for HBO Max. Watch the official trailers below.

When his young daughter's beloved companion — an android named Yang — malfunctions, Jake searches for a way to repair him. In the process, he discovers the life that has been passing in front of him, reconnecting with his wife and daughter across a distance he didn't know was there.

The cast includes Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Justin H. Min, Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja, and Haley Lu Richardson. The film had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on July 8, 2021, and received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
