The Batman prowls the streets of Gotham in these exclusive new images

A new Batman movie will always be significant on the movie calendar, particularly if it is a standalone reboot of the 83-year old comic-book character. The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves promises a new take on Bruce Wayne’s vigilante alter-ego. It has been 10 years since the last movie featuring the character in live action.

The film takes a year-two approach to the Caped Crusader and avoids the origin story formula. Instead, it focuses on a young Batman who is still finding his feet in the early days of crime-fighting here in Gotham City. Robert Pattinson is the title hero, but this Gotham also features familiar faces like Selina Kyle (Zoe Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot(Colin Farrell), and the Riddler (“Paul Dano”) as well as Carmine Falcone and John Turturro. Bruce/Batman’s friends include James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright), and Alfred Pennyworth(Andy Serkis). Peter Sarsgaard’s new character, DA Gil Colson, was also created for the film.
