THE BATMAN: Here's Everything We Know So Far About Matt Reeves' New Take On The Dark Knight

With Robert Pattinson set to play the Caped Crusader in The Batman, we take a look at everything we know so far about Matt Reeves' DC Comics adaptation, including the tone, characters, setting, and more...

Filed Under: The Batman

On Friday, we learned that Robert Pattinson will suit up as the DCEU's new Dark Knight in The Batman, and after what feels like countless delays, it now seems as if the project is finally coming together ahead of its planned release on June 25th, 2021.

Ben Affleck was originally going to direct the movie based on a script written by him and Geoff Johns, and the plan was to pit his Caped Crusader against Deathstroke. Well, those ideas have been thrown out and new writer and director Matt Reeves has gone back to the drawing board for his take on the iconic DC Comics character.

Now, we've rounded up everything we know about The Batman so far to bring you an in-depth guide to what to expect from the film. From the characters rumoured to appear to everything Reeves has revealed in recent months and the tone and setting of this adventure, a surprising amount of information has actually found its way online.

So, to check out a recap of all of that, simply cluck on the "View List" button down below!

It May End Up Being Set In The 1990s

It wouldn't really make much sense for Robert Pattinson to "replace" Ben Affleck's version of Batman given their age difference, and we've heard from a number of reliable sources that Reeves wants to focus on a younger, not quite as experienced version of the hero. As a result, rumours have done the rounds claiming that this adventure is actually going to be set during the 1990s.

This "period" setting for The Batman would free Reeves from having to link to what's come before and the rest of the DCEU, but fans will obviously be hopeful for some connections.

Honestly, though, 90s setting or not, common sense says this will essentially be a reboot for the franchise because it's doubtful that Reeves will be happy about being forced to adhere to specific plot points like Wayne Manor being burned down and Robin being murdered by Jared Leto's younger Joker.

Matt Reeves Is Planning A Trilogy

These days, an actor being signed to a three-picture deal is no great surprise, and we've seen stars who have ended up starring in trilogies along with those who have been done after just one appearance because a movie hasn't exactly lived up to expectations.

With that in mind, Robert Pattinson being signed up to star in three movies is hardly a shock, but a number of outlets have claimed that Reeves is writing The Batman with an entire trilogy in mind. If that's true, here's hoping the filmmaker is able to write the screenplays a little quicker than he has with this one because, otherwise, we'll be waiting three or four years between each chapter!

The Penguin And Catwoman Are "Confirmed" To Appear...

According to The Hollywood Reporter and a few different outlets, the lead villain in The Batman is expected to be The Penguin. He's someone we've seen on the big screen before now and definitely a bad guy who could benefit from a contemporary makeover.

Another character whose name has been mentioned time and time again is Catwoman, and while Selina Kyle may have made an appearance in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, it would be nice to get a comic book accurate version of the anti-hero on the big screen, especially after Tim Burton took her down a rather weird, gothic route way back when.

But before you dismiss The Batman as a Batman Returns remake, there's some good news...

...We May See Even More Villains

Batman's world is full of amazing villains, and that's not something Reeves is going to be shying away from. Apparently, we could end up seeing as many as half a dozen of his rogues and The Riddler's name keeps popping up. Whether this means Batman will be facing multiple bad guys or simply paying a visit to Arkham Asylum remains to be seen, but the filmmaker may have sequels in mind.

After all, laying the groundwork here for more villains means he can gloss over their origin stories (something the Dark Knight's villains have never really needed) and just dive straight into new adventures which are bound to make comic book fans happy.

Younger Versions Of Familiar Faces

Jeremy Irons was a great Alfred Pennyworth and while his screentime in Justice League was minimal, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that J.K. Simmons could have stolen the show as Commissioner Gordon. Sadly, it doesn't sound like either of them will be returning for The Batman.

Instead, we'll most likely be getting new versions of both characters, presumably with younger actors taking on the roles. That's a shame, but providing Reeves casts them well, it could still be great.

What About Robin?

The Boy Wonder is currently part of Titans, but it seems as if that version of Dick Grayson will have ditched the Robin mantle after just a single season in order to become Nightwing. In terms of his big screen appearances, we've seen nothing of him since Batman & Robin (The Dark Knight Rises' "Robin" doesn't really count...) so his return is definitely overdue at this point.

Well, while this should be taken as a rumour for now, it's said that The Batman could end up reintroducing the character and it would definitely make sense for Reeves to explore this relationship over the course of three movies. After all, there's a lot to be said about how and why Bruce Wayne could justify having a child by his side while fighting criminals and murderers.

The Focus Will Be On The Caped Crusader's Detective Skills

Every Batman film we've seen over the years has done a good job with the Dark Knight in very different ways, but if there's one thing that they've all dropped the ball on, it's the fact that he's known as the World's Greatest Detective. Well, Reeves has promised to put the spotlight on those skills and that could mean we're getting a proper crime story that really makes use of more than just his fists.

With an enemy like The Penguin, a crime story like this makes sense, so fingers crossed Reeves' screenplay delivers plenty of twists and turns in order to make this new take particularly memorable.

Matt Reeves Has Confirmed Robert Pattinson's Casting

For those of you who are having doubts about whether Robert Pattinson really is Batman, the trades are reporting that it's a done deal, and Reeves himself has now taken to social media to confirm that's the case with a Tweet featuring a GIF of the actor along with three Bat emojis.

He beat Nicholas Hoult for the role and has signed a multi-picture contract which means "Battinson" (R.I.P. "Batfleck") will be here for quite some time. That gives the actor plenty of time to put his mark on the character and we'll hopefully get a trilogy as good as The Dark Knight series.

It's A "Noir" Tale

According to Reeves, we can expect The Batman to be a "point of view-driven, noir Batman tale." He adds that, "It's told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it's going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional." Honestly that sounds like a perfect approach to the property.

Tim Burton gave us a gothic take on the character, Nolan went down the realistic route, and Snyder went to the darker corners of Batman's universe with a world-weary version of Bruce Wayne.

Now, Reeves has the opportunity to do something completely new and this "noir" approach may be the right direction to take things in. Time will obviously tell what that ends up looking like.

Production Will Begin Next Year

According to fairly reliable sources, The Batman will start shooting in the first quarter of 2020 and that actually gives us a good idea of what to expect both this year and next. For starters, casting will continue throughout the rest of 2019, and set photos are likely to start popping up when shooting begins - depending on where Warner Bros. and Reeves decide to transform into Gotham City.

A teaser trailer arriving at next year's San Diego Comic-Con also makes sense given how the studio usually handled this type of thing, and it will hopefully be sooner rather than later we see Pattinson suited up as Batman as that costume reveal is always very exciting.

The Batman Is Inspired By Jekyll And Hyde

Late last year, Reeves was asked about his take on the Bruce Wayne/Batman divide and which of them is real and which is the facade. Interestingly, when it came to his inspiration for how that aspect of the character will be handled, the filmmaker pointed to Jekyll and Hyde being a factor.

"I think that it’s interesting, because one of the things that I’ve found interesting, just as we’re working on the story, is looking back at Jekyll and Hyde, and the idea of your shadow-self, and the idea of, we are all multiple things. It’s different aspects of who we are, and I think there are times when maybe the surface of Bruce is not really who he is, but that’s his disguise. There are times when Batman’s the disguise, but there are times when his true essence comes out, because by being veiled, a kind of instinctual side comes out that’s very pure."

It's Called The Batman...For Now

We first learned that The Batman would be the new film's title when Affleck was still in the director's chair, and while it's definitely a cool name for the DC Comics adaptation, there's nothing to say that Reeves will want to keep it (after all, he completely ditched the screenplay Affleck and Johns wrote).

Asked what the title will be in an interview last year, Reeves said: "Right now it’s called The Batman. What it will be called ultimately, I don’t know..." In other words, expect it to change, and if it does, Warner Bros. will more than likely reveal the title when production starts in early 2020.

Yeah the whole Bruce Wayne is the “mask”. Please letcthat idea be the first things to be scrapped.

SpideyPuffsMJ - 6/3/2019, 8:59 AM

@IronGenesis - I actually like the idea of that a lot. Always have.

GhostDog - 6/3/2019, 9:13 AM

@IronGenesis - this has always been a highly appealing part of Batman to me. Bruce Wayne is disposable, a regrettable casualty. Not to say that Bruce is not important as the Wayne name is very significant, but Bruce is not his psyche, his true self. He died in that alley.

ince, they all are holding the Lasso, it compels them to tell the truth as who they are. Wonder Woman goes on to say that she is “Diana of Themyscra, Daughter of Queen Hippolyta" Superman goes on to say that he is “Clark Kent. Kal-El”

But Batman, or Bruce, just says that he is “Batman”.

IronGenesis - 6/3/2019, 9:48 AM

@BlackBeltJones - would you say the animated series Bruce died in the alley? I think originally he didn’t. The original run of the show and all the way through to Mask of Phantasm. There was a real Bruce Wayne and having him in there led to some of the more emotional powerful and heartfelt moments of the show. As I recall.

But I think as they went longer they just dropped Bruce and it was all Batman.

GhostDog - 6/3/2019, 10:28 AM

@IronGenesis - I agree. But I always dound BTAS Bruce to be two, sometimes three individuals: Bruce Wayne, playboy, philanthropist; Bruce Wayne: post alley Bruce who transformed to become the night, become a vigilante, who is himself with Al, Dick etc; then Batman.

Post alley Bruce and Batmna I think are either the same and/or interchangeable in a way. Bruce is just Batman stripped down, not in the suit, his guard down.

FleischerSupes - 6/3/2019, 10:38 AM

@IronGenesis - In the Batman Beyond episode "Shriek" it's revealed that Bruce calls himself Batman in his own mind. When the voices in his head call him Bruce that's how he knows he's not going crazy. Ironically.

ComicsBeyond19 - 6/3/2019, 9:11 AM

This movie couldn't come any sooner. All of the naysayers regarding Pattinson's Batman are loudmouths with nothing better to do than to get upset at a guy who has improved his career tremendously after years of being recognized as "Twilight guy" smh.

GhostDog - 6/3/2019, 9:15 AM

@ComicsBeyond19 - Good Time is the best performance. He truly transformed in that film.

Kumkani - 6/3/2019, 9:19 AM

@BlackBeltJones - He's honestly unrecognisable in Good Time, both in the way he looks and his performance. I was surprised just seeing clips from it.

That six-minute standing ovation he got an Cannes was well earned.

ComicsBeyond19 - 6/3/2019, 9:21 AM

@BlackBeltJones - Very true. I'd be willing to argue that his performance in The Rover is up there too.

tmp3 - 6/3/2019, 9:16 AM

Hoping for Nic Hoult as the Riddler

inkniron - 6/3/2019, 10:40 AM

@tmp3 - I'm still on the Zachery Quinto train

tmp3 - 6/3/2019, 12:42 PM

@inkniron - Quinto's fine, but Nic Hoult is so under utilized in boring roles like Beast. He's so damn good in Mad Max (MVP) and The Favourite; he'd be so good as a bat villain. Way better Nygma than Wayne.

inkniron - 6/3/2019, 2:46 PM

@tmp3 - I agree. I have a feeling they may try to give him a hero role going forward though. He's definitely on their radar. I wouldn't put it passed them to have him replace Ezra as the Flash. His tall, lanky frame lends itself to it IMO

tmp3 - 6/3/2019, 3:03 PM

@inkniron - He's a better actor than Ezra, but they keep wasting him in these leading straight man roles. Hoult's only good when he's allowed to get weird; he's a character actor stuck in a leading man's body. There's a reason he was one of the best parts of two best picture films but somehow lost out on roles in top gun 2 and fantastic beasts (and jon snow!).
When Ezra's gone I really hope they get Billy Magnussen for Flash, that dude's got so much A-lister talent.

inkniron - 6/3/2019, 4:22 PM

@tmp3 - Meh. He's good in Tell me a Story and Game Night. Other things though, I'm really luke warm on him

Forthas - 6/3/2019, 9:21 AM

Dark Knight Rises' "Robin" doesn't really count

Yes it does!

knocturnalzen10 - 6/3/2019, 9:22 AM

@Forthas - that robin or new batman would've definitely been killed in his first 2 weeks of action by a random GOON ....

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 6/3/2019, 9:35 AM

@Forthas - That's not Robin. His name is Robin John Blake. It has nothing to do with the character. Blake will take over the mantle of Batman. He's not going to go around fighting crime under the persona of his real name.

Forthas - 6/3/2019, 9:40 AM

@knocturnalzen10 -Not if he had Bat gadgets.

knocturnalzen10 - 6/3/2019, 9:59 AM

@Forthas - i dislike how you think sometimes so much lol lol he struggled with 2 construction worker goons lol and he had a gun ..... Gordon got the jump on him in the hospital .... he would've been a terrible Batman or Robin .... his agility was at a -3 i think

PicolasCage - 6/3/2019, 10:58 AM

@Forthas - ...nah

blitzburgh - 6/3/2019, 12:55 PM

@Forthas - no it doesn't wacko, get the [frick] out of here with that shit Robin's name is Dick Grayson not my middle name is Robin get the shit out of here

Forthas - 6/3/2019, 8:50 PM

@kTHEDARKKNIGHT1939
@PicolasCage
@blitzburgh

So that is not "Robin" because of his name? Then if that is true then everyone making that point should accept that Jack Nicholson DID NOT PLAY THE JOKER!

That's right! The Joker's real name is not "Jack Napier" who worked for a crime lord named Carl Grissom...nor did he kill Batman's parents!

Forthas - 6/3/2019, 9:28 PM

@knocturnalzen10 -

"he struggled with 2 construction worker goons lol and he had a gun"

Yeah there were TWO of them and one snuck up on him...not to mention that they are dead and he is still alive.

"Gordon got the jump on him in the hospital"
Oh right...its not like no one ever got the jump on Dick Grayson in the comics and James Gordon is no slouch.

I think the movie made a nod to Robin with his whole name being Robin but skipped straight to the Nightwing era. We only saw the beginning of that era...saying that he would have made a bad Batman or Robin is like watching only the first 10 minutes of Batman Begins and saying Bale would have made a bad Batman.

blitzburgh - 6/4/2019, 9:55 AM

@Forthas - he's had multiple names aaaannnddd background stories

JosephCronos92 - 6/3/2019, 9:23 AM

Looking forward to Pattinson's Batman under Reeves guide.

Really hope this opens the door the The Batfamily, i understand people like to think Bats a loner or like him as one, but he has a family even if it's a broken one and made out of shattered pieces off of the floor.
Give Robin and Batgirl another chance at the movies dammit, the time is now. Batman has so much potential left to be explored on a cinematic level, and even a high budget tv level. Really hope this one turns out well.

GhostDog - 6/3/2019, 9:23 AM

I kind of like a 90s setting idea. Something about it feels interesting.

The grit of Gotham matching that of 90s NYC.

JosephCronos92 - 6/3/2019, 9:35 AM

@BlackBeltJones - i beleive Reeves can make Batman interesting again, al we've seen lately is Batman in "actual times" or just being an impulsive angry lil' boy lol
A 90's noir detective film with Batman (being an actual detective), and his villains galore running mayhem on gotham sounds juicy.

I just want them to take a page on Batman 90's animated show and worldbuild Bats from there.

GhostDog - 6/3/2019, 9:44 AM

@JosephCronos92 - Batman, for me, seems like a creature of the past too. The 80s, 90s periods had a time of crime that fits the noir moodiness of Batman.

He feels at home in a Gotham of the 80s and 90s. His tech would have stand out in those times; his resources. More so, he would really have to be a detective in a sense where, even given his advanced tools, I think the tech he would have in those decades wouldn't be outrageous. He'd still have to be a real sleuth.

99OPTIMISTPRIME - 6/3/2019, 9:54 AM

@JosephCronos92 - So you want some Gotham City world-building, and more of a Bronze Age intellectual Batman, instead of "My parents are dead, and I hate my life" angry and angsty Batman?

JosephCronos92 - 6/3/2019, 10:09 AM

@WAKANDABATMANFOREVER - YES!.

Gotham did its own thing, and i respect that, but i want that with an actual Batman movie, being an actual damn detective, and building on other damn villains besides Joker, have Joker to lurk into the shadows, like the f#$#kng maniac creepy sob entity that he is.

JosephCronos92 - 6/3/2019, 10:24 AM

@BlackBeltJones - you got it, i just want Batman to analyze, investigate and solve the puzzle before throwing a punch. His villains to be afraid of his intelligence and not only his pressence, and for the loved ones he has left to be tangled on Bruce's emotional and chaotic hero endeavor, while Killer Croc is running havoc in Gotham's dark waters, a lamenting Mr. Freeze trapped in a lab figuring out what to do with his broken heart and Poison Ivy living im her own torned rose palace. A Joker who's just a ghost creeping on Gotham city. I'm ready for a different Batman now.

Brave - 6/3/2019, 10:59 AM

@BlackBeltJones -
"He feels at home in a Gotham of the 80s and 90s. His tech would have stand out in those times; his resources. More so, he would really have to be a detective in a sense where, even given his advanced tools, I think the tech he would have in those decades wouldn't be outrageous. He'd still have to be a real sleuth."

Reading this lowkey grounded the entire concept of Batman for me in really cool way lol.

GhostDog - 6/3/2019, 12:28 PM

@Brave - when you read Dark Victory, Prey, Knightfall, or Year One, to me, it feels like quintessential Batman. Something about the period, the way Gotham reflects the time period. The tone, the look of everything. He's truly a detective in those old stories and its because of the world and time he inhabits. It comes across so well.
