The release of the upcoming DC movie The Batman is still a ways away, but Warner Bros’ marketing and promotion machinery is in full swing. And no wonder, for the Caped Crusader remains one of the most profitable comic-book characters. Two new posters of the film have been unleashed. One shows a close-up of Robert Pattinson’s cowled and masked face. The other features Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman. Warner Bros and DC’s social media handles shared the posters. WB India also shared them with the name of the movie written in Indian languages.
The Batman’s promos are teasing the romance between Batman and Catwoman, which is indeed a big thing in comics. Usually, Catwoman is a character who is teetering on the edge of good and bad, and is not an out and out villain or hero. She also fights crime and helps people, but normally does not have a fixed code of not killing people like the Batman. Both Pattinson and Kravtiz have proved their acting chops in the past and we cannot wait to see them together in the movie.
In the film, Batman is still a young superhero, struggling with his rage. He faces a sinister new enemy in Riddler (Paul Dano), not the colourful, clownish villain you know, but a serial killer who is modelled over the real-world Zodiac killer. The Penguin and Carmine Falcone also face-off against the Dark Knight.
