The Official Synopsis for THE BATMAN Calls Bruce Wayne a "Disillusioned, Desperate Vigilante"
Warner Bros. has released an official synopsis for director Matt Reeves’ highly anticipated DC film The Batman. The synopsis doesn’t really offer any details in regards to the plot, but it does offers some insight on the tone of the film and the psyche of Bruce Wayne and what he’s going through. The synopsis reads:
The Batman is an edgy, action-packed thriller that depicts Batman in his early years, struggling to balance rage with righteousness as he investigates a disturbing mystery that has terrorized Gotham. Robert Pattinson delivers a raw, intense portrayal of Batman as a disillusioned, desperate vigilante awakened by the realization that the anger consuming him makes him no better than the ruthless serial killer he's hunting.
I’m so pumped up for this movie! I think Robert Pattinson is going to kill it as Batman and I’m pretty confident that Reeves is going to deliver a great and unique Batman film!
The film also stars Zoe Kravitz as Catwoman, Andy Serkis as Alfred, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton/The Riddler, Jayme Lawson as Bella Reál, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, and Peter Sarsgaard as Gil Colson. Gil Perez-Abraham (Orange is the New Black), Charlie Carver (Teen Wolf), and Max Carver have also been cast in undisclosed roles.
The Batman is now scheduled to hit theaters on March 4th, 2022. If you want to watch the trailer again, check it out below!
