The Riddler For THE BATMAN Gets His Own Mountain Dew Flavor, and His Look is Teased on The Packaging
The Riddler is getting his own Mountain Dew flavor in a promotion for Matt Reeves’ The Batman. The package art also offers a little sneak peek tease at the character’s look. The flavor is called Riddler’s Brew, but the flavor of the drink is still a mystery that has yet to be solved.
The Riddler is being played by Paul Dano in the movie and there’s still so much that we don’t know about how the villain will be utilized in the film, but we do know that he’s a serial killer going around murdering people, and Batman is hunting him, looking to stop him.
The Batman is a dark noir-style film that will lean into Batman in his detective mode. Director Matt Reeves said that it’s going to tell a deep and psychological story. This will be a “year two” story for Batman that acknowledges his origin and how it’s still something that he’s “majorly struggling” with.
There will be a series of murders and crimes that start taking place in Gotham and as Batman investigates those things, they begin to reveal the darkness of Gotham City to him.
The film stars Robert Pattinson as The Dark Knight, 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.
