While unveiling the new trailer at the DC Fandome event, Matt had said, "It's a criminological experiment. He's trying to figure out what he can do to finally change this place. You see that he's charting what he's doing, and he's seeing he isn't having any of the effect that he wants to have yet. The murders start to happen, and the murders start to describe a history of Gotham. It only reinforces what he knows about Gotham, but opens up a whole world of corruption that went much further."

The film also stars Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner James Gordon, Andy Serkis plays Bruce Wayne's loyal butler Alfred, and John Turturro is the gangster Carmine Falcone.
