Billed as ‘vengeance equals justice for both the Bat and the Cat,’ the Dark Knight – and Catwoman - return in the latest DC version of its famed Gotham City vigilante detective, with Robert Pattinson as the caped and rather moody crusader, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle, and ‘Planet of the Apes’ franchise director Matt Reeves at the helm; film hits theaters March 4, 2022.
It’s been pushed, pulled… and halted by the pandemic, but at for now, fingers crossed, finally set to hit theaters this coming March 4. Warner Bros. Pictures’ latest reincarnation of the Dark Knight returns in The Batman, with Robert Pattinson taking on the roles of Gotham City’s vigilante detective and his alter ego, reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne. As the press release states… “Justice with a vengeance.”
The trailer offers an action-packed glimpse of what’s to come, all shot without a single ray of sunlight! But there are kitties… take a look:
