Matt
Reeves
On
The
Batman's
and
His
Nemesis
Earlier,
Matt
Reeves
had
revealed
that
the
film
will
follow
Batman
who
is
in
his
second
year
of
vigilantism
while
trying
to
solve
a
series
of
gruesome
serial
killings.
The
trailer
also
showed
glimpses
of
other
huge
characters
from
the
DC
universe,
like
Paul
Dano's
The
Riddler,
Zoë
Kravitz's
Selina
Kyle
(before
she
becomes
the
criminal
Catwoman),
and
the
underworld
figure
Oswald
Cobblepot,
nicknamed
The
Penguin
behind
his
back,
played
by
Colin
Farrell.
The
Batman
Is
Set
To
Release
In
October
2021
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.
