Batman 2021 fans are super excited: The fans who watched the actor on the big screen in a never-seen-before avatar. Director Matt Reeves released the first look of Pattinson’s take on the Dark Knight this morning.
Starkly different from the sharp-looking version of Bruce Wayne that the fans of Christian Bale, Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck’s portrayals would expect, Robert’s version is mysterious, which is sure to intrigue the fans.
Batman 2021, Director Matt Reeves spoke about the story of the film and said, “Without being an origin story for him, it’s something that touches upon his origins.” Well, that sums it up perfectly
It is kind of strange to think that for so long the Matt Reeves The Batman project was kept under the tightest of wraps. But now, ever since the news of Robert Pattinson being cast as the Dark Knight, it seems like everyday garners another insight into what we can expect from the upcoming stand alone trilogy.
The trailer takes one through Gotham City which is like always filled with criminals running wild, including a force that is trying to get to Batman. The story takes place when the caped crusader is still a masked vigilante only two years into Bruce Wayne’s career as Batman and therefore people are still afraid of him, he hasn’t become the Batman yet.
Reportedly, there will be 6 villains for the Caped Crusader to content with, but now we may not only know the basic plot, but the existence of a possible 7th villain as well. he films, which are meant to focus more on Batman’s detective skills, will be loosely based around the 13 comic arc called ‘The Long Halloween’.
So, while villains like Penguin, Catwoman, and Riddler will play big parts, they won’t be the final, main antagonist. Rumors also push that this serial killer mastermind may be Hush, which would meld two different, yet equally amazing, storylines.
These stories can mesh well, so this shouldn’t be an issue. It’s seems a bit crazy, though, for there to be over half a dozen villains vying for screen time, even in a trilogy. It will be very interesting to see not only how the story is constructed, but also how this trilogy is shot.
Could Reeves be really ambitious and shoot all three at the same time? If these villains appear in multiple movies, that may actually be the most logical and cost effective way. This is all just rumors for now, but hopefully we will get some concrete information soon enough.
This Batman movie will swoop into theaters on June 25, 2021.
That’s going to be a busy summer for DC, with James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad 2 releasing on August 6.
