— which debuted on Saturday during the DC Fandome virtual fan event — reveals a film that is unmistakably the darkest and most violent cinematic outing yet for the Caped Crusader, even when compared to Christopher Nolan’s gritty “Dark Knight” trilogy. In a Gotham City saturated in rain and gloom, Pattinson’s Batman, just a year into his reign as a costumed vigilante, attacks his enemies with a visceral, unhinged brutality that past live-action Batman movies never quite reached.

Instead, the trailer provides a more extensive first look at two other central characters. First among them isas Catwoman, who, true to comic-book form, has a penchant for hiding in plain sight in a series of wigs and is curious about the man behind Batman’s trademark cowl. The character has been memorably played on screen by Michelle Pfeiffer in 1992’s “Batman Returns” and Anne Hathaway in 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises.
“I don’t want her to be an idea, you know, I want her to be a real human being in a real situation in a real city trying to survive and reacting to her own pain,” Kravitz said about the character in the Fandome panel with Pattinson and Reeves. Meanwhile, the last time the Penguin appeared in a Batman movie, he was played in “Batman Returns” by Danny DeVito as a disfigured man who nonetheless still looked recognizably like the actor.
