As part of the DC FanDome celebration, the brand new Batman trailer has arrived. The following are all the stories revealed and the secrets discovered in them.
Batman’s second trailer has arrived-this is our complete breakdown of the new lens, from plot details and story reveals to hidden details, to let more people know about Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne. Great changes have taken place in Batman since 2014, when Warner Bros. gave the green light to the first live-action solo movie of the Cape Crusader since "The Dark Knight Rises." Originally intended as a DCEU entry for Ben Affleck on both sides of the camera, Batman features Joe Manganero's death knell and repays the ending sequence of the Justice League. However, due to the reorganization of the studio and the overhaul in the direction of DCEU, Batman is now an independent film directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson.
Batman's first trailer was released in August 2020, and gave people a glimpse of Pattinson in advance. He is arguably the most brooding, darkest, and most tortured Dark Knight ever, adding luster to the movie screen. Still in the early stages of his crime-fighting career, Batman collaborated with Jeffrey Wright’s Jim Gordon, and when the Riddler (Paul Dano) began to kill public figures, he used his traditional clues and puzzle methods to interact with Bruce. comminicate. The trailer briefly introduces the penguin played by Colin Farrell and the catwoman played by Zoe Kravitz. Although the butler is far away from the camera, we know that Andy Serkis plays Alfred Penniworth .

Having achieved great success after its debut in 2020, DC FanDome will return in 2021. Last year’s online conference found an innovative way to provide fans with all the latest DC news, updates, and trailers when physical gatherings were tricky. This format was widely hailed as a victory, and returned the following year, putting Batman first. This is our complete breakdown of Batman Trailer 2.
Since Matt Reeves took charge of "Batman", the director has been busy creating the darkest environment Bruce Wayne has ever lived in. The opening shot of Batman's second trailer highlights the reason, depicting the darkest black setting imaginable. On a rainy night, a dim backstreet cafe could only be illuminated by neon lights and curved glass windows. This is a typical Gotham-style pessimism and the collision of shabby and slightly futuristic-this is an ingenious visual metaphor for the economic gap in this city.
Batman’s previous trailer showed Paul Dano’s Riddler for the first time, but only wearing a basic mask that a slipknot percussionist would be proud of. In the second trailer, the person drinking latte in the restaurant is the riddler Edward Nashton (Edward Nashton). Although we did not take a closer look at his face, the presence of the police and the "?" bubble art are reliable clues. Jim Gordon can be seen leading the team that brought the Riddler in, but their ease of doing so is highly questionable. One would expect this capture to be in full accordance with Nashton's super brain plan.
After the mandatory DC and WB signs, Batman's second trailer clearly showed the new bat signal on top of the GCPD headquarters, with Jeffrey Wright's Jim Gordon lighting up the iconic beacon. This bat signal is just a large piece of metal, a bit like a bat being pushed to the center of a searchlight, creating the most basic live human bat signal so far (except for Christian Bale who used a real criminal). The amateur signal not only shows how green Batman is in the vigilante game, but also shows how solid and realistic Matt Reeves' vision for Batman is, even compared to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.

Before DC FanDome 2021, a short trailer revealed more of Robert Pattinson's Batman voice, and fans cheered on social media. There is a signature deep, hoarse tone, but where some actors in the past sounded desperately in need of cough syrup, Pattinson’s voice had a more natural quality. As for the content, "Fear is a tool" tells Batman's strategy of sending fear to urban criminals, and his next sentence about the bat signal as a "warning" solidifies Pattinson as the most violent and dangerous movie to date. The status of Batman.
It was this man who looked up at the bat signal-Robert Pattinson in full costume. Obviously, the technology content of the fairing is very low, and the whole ensemble brings a sense of self-control, which is completely different from the audience's armor set of Batman on the big screen. What’s particularly interesting is that although Batman’s goal is a very solid aesthetic, the most comic-style elements of Pattinson’s costume (ie pointed ears and cloak) are actually exaggerated. Matt Reeves is brewing a fascinating visual combination of Christopher Nolan and Tim Burton-especially in the clothing department.
The first enemy found in the "Batman" trailer 2 is the same as the villain seen in the previous footage-the Gotham gang wearing clown-like white paint. There is no obvious counterpart in the DC comics to identify this group, but of course, no matter where there are clowns in Gotham City, clowns usually do not fall behind. It is unlikely that the Joker Prince himself will appear in Batman, but these thugs may confirm his presence in the background, paving the way for the Joker’s debut in the sequel. Other rumors suggest that Batman may have some connection with the Joker (although the timeline is different), and criminals wearing Joker's face paint will support this theory.
The actors were lucky enough to receive a call to enter the Batman’s live-action world, let alone two, but due to appearing almost simultaneously in Titan and Batman, Jay Lecugo found himself in this situation. Lycurgo made his debut in Season 3 of "Titans" as Tim Drake, the third official Robin (Robin). In "Batman," he is one of the clown gangs that bleeds and bruises at the hands of Robert Pattinson. Lycurgo's movie role is almost certainly smaller than Tim Drake Titans' performance, but his Batman role may have some deeper meaning hidden in the trailer.

Given how basic Robert Pattinson’s Batman costume is compared to his fellow movie superheroes, it is natural to assume that he will be more vulnerable. Batman’s second trailer proved otherwise. Facing the criminal with the clown pictured, Batman's equipment absorbed several bullets in rapid succession, and Bruce was barely knocked down by the explosion. Batman may have happened in the early years of the DC superhero, without the bells and whistles he added later, but Bruce did not risk being with Gotham's gun-wielding villain.
In one of several impressive action scenes teased by FanDome's Batman trailer, Robert Pattinson fisted a dozen clown gangsters at a raining subway station...almost. Batman nailed a criminal to a pole and fired an electric charge at the villain's neck, suggesting that the Dark Knight was either wielding a taser or hiding a taser in his gloves. Although the impact does not seem fatal, it is certainly unusual to see Batman carrying such a weapon, and a violent punch in the face usually produces the same result. Bruce's Taser is another example of how the protagonist of Batman has raised violence by several levels.
When it comes to the interrogation of the Batman movie, it is impossible not to think of the iconic confrontation between Christian Bale and the Joker played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. Batman has his own version, and Robert Pattinson visited a patient with a blurred face. Given this situation, Riddler is the most obvious guess, and if so, Batman’s marketing is trying to hide the face of the villain. This is suspicious...Although the background is unknown, the Riddler's jumpsuit seems to read "Arkham Hospital" (although it can also say "Gotham"), which may mean that "asylum" has been lost due to its outdated meaning. delete.
Batman screamed "What did you do?" This supports the theory that Riddler got himself arrested after laying out the necessary parts of his plan. Batman's anger in this scene shows how deep Paul Dano's riddler is under the skin of the righteous policeman. At the same time, the Riddler claimed that he had been trying to "contact" Batman, referring to the greeting card clues in the previous trailer.

After Batman screamed at the Riddler while trying to figure out the criminal's intentions, Batman's FanDome trailer immediately showed a huge port explosion elsewhere in Gotham City. The sequence strongly suggests that the Riddler is responsible for the explosives, and Batman's anger at the interrogation may come from the need to locate more bombs before they detonate. However, the bigger gain is that Robert Pattinson's voice-over publicly referred to Edward Nashton as the "Riddler". Considering how unique Paul Dano's performance is compared to traditional riddlers, it would not be surprising if his super villain name was deleted altogether. Fortunately, the new trailer proves otherwise.
From the live photos, it is known that Bruce Wayne attended Don Mitchell's funeral-the mayor of Gotham City who was killed by the Riddler in the first trailer of Batman. Although the focus of the second trailer is mainly elsewhere, the scene of Bruce Wayne in a suit appearing in front of a large group of photographers seems to take place outside the ceremony. The Batman Trailer 2 also showed Zoë Kravitz's Catwoman coming out of the car, but strangely, Selina would attend this official funeral. Maybe she did it for investigative purposes, not for paying tribute.
Outside of the mayor’s funeral, Batman and Selena Kyle met on the rooftop at sunset and shared a tender moment. Catwoman assured Bruce, “I can take care of myself.” This line definitely means Bruce tried to protect Selena, but was rejected by a woman who was self-reliant on the streets of Gotham. In the rooftop scene, there is a searchlight to the right of the couple, possibly a bat signal. Did Batman reproduce the classic scene of Bruce's lover using GCPD's beacon as a way to summon Batman?
A series of rapid-fire shots highlight the action scenes of Zoe Kravitz as Selena Kyle of Batman. The first in the sequence is Catwoman aiming at a figure obscured by shadows. Depending on the window, the setting here may be the same as the penguin lurking elsewhere in the trailer. Perhaps the unlucky target of Selena's boots is a Cobblepot thug. Then the trailer revealed that Catwoman was wearing a longer wig. This disguise may mean that Selena is secretly investigating the penguin in Batman, which may explain her appearance at Don Mitchell’s funeral.

Compared with Batman’s previous trailer, Colin Farrell’s Penguin has a clearer vision, and the Gotham Gang overlooks his city from a height. As mentioned above, this may be the same building that saw Catwoman fighting. Farrell previously admitted that his role in Batman is relatively small, but in any case, he will stagger into multiple FanDome trailer scenes. The penguin's beak may be deeper than many people think.
Alfred Peniworth, played by Andy Serkins, failed to appear in Batman’s first trailer, but Bruce Wayne’s long-suffering Guardian finally appeared in the Batman trailer. In 2, the line of sight was immediately drawn to a bloodstain on Alfred's left brow. With Serkins playing a younger role than the traditional version of Alfred, it is natural to expect a more physical butler, which the actor also hinted at in the interview. It remains to be seen whether Alfred is training Bruce or joining the fight against crime himself.
A short picture shows Bruce Wayne, played by Robert Pattinson, wearing rectangular sunglasses and a newspaper, looking very inconspicuous (the report about the eye hole in the center has not been confirmed). Batman’s Lego merchandise referred to Bruce Wayne as a “wanderer,” which may be a disguise he used when collecting information on the streets of Gotham. This costume and name means that Robert Pattinson’s Batman will use traditional investigative tactics in Matt Reeves’ films to do proper detective work, not just dangling and beating people (despite his I will definitely do the same).
This strange scene appears to be a survey board scattered on the floor of the bat cave, while Bruce Wayne walks barefoot through the center, trying to piece everything together. Starting from the bottom left corner, "Mitchell" refers to Don Mitchell, one of the victims confirmed by the late Mayor of Gotham and the Riddler. "Coleson" is the district attorney Jill Coleson played by Peter Sasgard. In Batman’s previous trailer, poor Jill was briefly posted on the explosive, confirming that Gotham’s DA was the second victim of the Riddler. Mitchell’s office is full of "Stop Lying".

"The Sins of My Father" was probably written by the Riddler in a letter to Bruce, and it may refer to the Owl Court where Thomas Wayne was secretly involved. "Barbarian" is the commissioner of Gotham City, played by Alex Ferns, and is likely to be the third victim of the Riddler. This makes "update is a lie" the only unresolved clue. This line may be the riddler's suggestion that Bruce's "update" to Batman is a futile attempt to escape the truth.
In "The Dark Knight Rises," Alfred worried that Bruce Wayne would be wary of himself in the early grave, and therefore desperately wanted to eradicate crime, so he destroyed himself in the process. Batman picked up the clue and Serkins told his young master, "If this goes on, you will have nothing in a while." After a few scenes, Pattinson replied, "I don't care what happened to me. Things.” Obviously, Batman’s young protagonist is still furious at the death of his parents, fighting against Gotham’s criminals at all costs.
The scene filmed in Liverpool, England reveals that Robert Pattinson’s Batman rides a motorcycle through the cemetery to chase the villain. The second trailer for Batman contains short images from this promising sequence. Given the settings, the bike chase may occur after the victims of Riddles are buried.
Speaking of promising action scenes, Batman danced in the metal staircase and brutally beat Penguin's henchmen. Violence is realistic, strong and unforgiving, but filmed in a very cinematic style. After finally finding the big boss, the Cape Crusader was pleaded by the Penguins to "take it easy, dear"-this sentence shows Farrell's casual humor when facing danger. This is very different from the past live-action depictions of Oswald Cobblepot.

Enraged by the Joker in "The Dark Knight," Batman played by Christian Bale rushes into a crowded club and interrogates Sal Maroni of Eric Roberts. Batman did something similar, throwing the mob aside on a crimson platform in a full suit of Robert Pattinson to pay homage to Christopher Nolan's scene.
The use of lethal force is often the sticking point between Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle, including in "The Dark Knight Rises." The same disagreement appeared in Batman, when Catwoman pulled out a pistol from her bag. Considering how violent Robert Pattinson's Batman is, it would be interesting to see what effort (if any) he did to stop Selena from getting into the air. I also saw Zoe Kravitz wearing a red wig walking through a club (probably the club Bruce invaded)-further proof of her investigative role in Batman.
This particular shot was released before Batman's official FanDome 2021 trailer, and it shows the Dark Knight investigating his realm when the sun is low in the distance. The gorgeous, oppressive architecture and soft lighting are a bit reminiscent of Gotham City the Joker, and the orange light means that this scene may follow the roof of Batman and Catwoman in the trailer.
Movie fans have been 99% sure that Bruce Wayne played by Robert Pattinson and Selena Kyle played by Zoe Kravitz will be romantically involved in Batman, but the movie’s new trailer To confirm this, Catwoman gently stroked Batman's masked face and thought, "Maybe we are not that different...Who are you underneath?" Although there is obviously a spark between the two, their relationship may be. It will not be fully realized in "Batman". Bruce and Selena may lay the foundation for romance in a future sequel. Selena's lines also subtly confirmed that she still doesn't know Batman's secret identity.

In the stunning footage, the catwoman of Zoë Kravitz jumps off the roof of a skyscraper and takes aim at the opposite cable. This is the best demonstration of Selena's gymnastics ability in the Batman trailer and shows that Catwoman's skyline antics may be more impressive than Batman's. Without a fight, Bruce fell to the balcony, and a fiery explosion echoed behind him. At this point, it is obvious that Batman will become a visual pleasure.
Corridor scenes are all the rage, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Daredevil, Black Widow, and many others have acquired an impressive sequence, in which bad guys are dispatched one by one to the length of the corridor. Batman may only be the most important, the new trailer shows Bruce defeating many mobs armed with machine guns in a dark and dirty corridor. In addition to strengthening the ability of Batman's new costume to withstand one or two bullets, the real advantage of this sequence is the use of gunfire as the only light source, giving Batman a ghostly quality when moving between enemies.
The Batman FanDome 2021 trailer is very generous to Batmobile fans, showing Bruce's new ride as it burns fuel through the rear rocket and smashes unscrupulously in the debris on the street. The biggest gain is how "normal" Batman's Batmobile looks compared to the previous version of the Batmobile. The design is in line with Robert Pattinson's low-tech concept and attracts much less attention than the Batmobile in the past. The second point of attention is Bruce's driving, which is honestly not very good. This is not Batman cleverly traveling through Gotham City; Bruce drove angrily and ran into anything blocking his way.
GCPD is known for treating Batman as a criminal and hunting him down instead of hunting down many real criminals in the city, and Batman’s background is set at the beginning of Bruce Wayne’s career, seeing the same It's no surprise that it happened. The second trailer for Batman includes a clip in which the hapless police in Gotham City chased Batman to the top of the clock tower just to let the righteous police slid to freedom. This scene teases some amazing aerial acrobatics from the lens of Matt Reeves.

This scene depicts a group of police cars in the air and on the ground, surrounding a large complex-possibly a court or judicial building. Obviously a major event has occurred. Although the video itself provides few clues, it is most likely to be blamed on the riddler. In fact, this may be the consequence of one of the murders of the Riddler-Don Mitchell (Mayor), Jill Coleson (District Attorney, Mitchell’s funeral) or Pete Savage (Commissioner ).
It is not uncommon for Batman to receive some blows in the course of his duties, but he is somewhat unfamiliar with the cloaked crusaders covered in mud from head to toe. Pattinson's Batman is clearly involved in some kind of disaster-explosion or building collapse-and has barely escaped. Another interesting detail in this scene is Batman's cloak. In previous movies, the bat cloak was rubberized, militaristic, or nonexistent. In "Batman", it is just a piece of black cloth fluttering in the wind.
According to TV news reports, there are selfie shots of the murder of the riddler, and the serial killer is broadcasting his violent behavior. This modus operandi conforms to the riddler’s belief that he provides services by weeding out corrupt officials, and he hopes that the public in Gotham City will witness the crimes he committed in their name is justified. However, the live broadcast of Batman also raised questions about the exact time period of the movie. Given the younger Batman and basic aesthetics, many people speculate that Batman may have occurred in the 1990s or early 2000s. The Riddler hit his Twitch followers during the murder, proving that Batman is a modern story.
Traditionally, Batman prevented Catwoman from going too far, but Batman’s FanDome trailer proved that the role was reversed in this situation. Bruce Wayne takes a tortured criminal into the city and beats the bad guys repeatedly and mercilessly. Behind him, Selina Kyle watched, and Zoë Kravitz's face was clearly concerned.

The second trailer for Batman shows a figure from behind-it is almost certain that the Batman played by Robert Pattinson took off his overalls after a difficult night. The scar on Bruce's back is also obvious, which is undoubtedly a reminder from hard training and night beatings. In addition to the physical aspect, this image also emphasizes Bruce's scarred and troubled role in Batman. There is an inner demon pushing Batman forward at all costs, between self-destruction and violence, it threatens to devour him.
An ambiguous image, but it may be crucial to the plot of Batman. Batman lights the flares and leads a group of people across the water. This looks like a rescue mission, Batman proves to the good guys in Gotham that he is on their side. This scene can be connected to one (or both) of the Penguin Sanitary Factory shootout in the previous trailer, and the pier explosion mentioned earlier in this trailer. Maybe a group of innocent people are trapped, and Batman takes them out of the place where regular emergency services have failed. Once again, it's interesting how Batman uses regular flares here instead of some kind of super-powered torch beam from his mask, or something else.
The Riddler dropped two main riddles at the end of Batman's second trailer. In the voiceover, he said: "What is black, blue and dead"-obviously a pathological distortion of the classic "What is black, white and re(a)d". The Riddler's version may have a double meaning-on the surface, the Riddler nodded to Bruce's body when he ended his body (was beaten and bruised), but it may also be a comment on Bruce's mind. Batman is black, Bruce is blue, but both of his are dead emotionally. This is in line with the previous "update is a lie" statement. The answer may also be related to the Gotham City Police Department. They are dressed in black, but the police are traditionally called "blue" and one of them (the commissioner) may be about to die at the hands of Riddler.
Another puzzle of the riddler is a blunt card with "See you in hell" on it. This riddle must be more than what we got here, but the clue may be related to the previous trailer "What is the price of your blind?".

In the expanded version of the Penguin car chase that was briefly glimpsed in Batman’s first trailer, Colin Farrell believes that he left the Batmobile in the sea of fire, just to make the burning car emerge unscathed and remove him from the road Up and down. As Batman strode towards the overturned car of the Penguin, Batman’s FanDome footage truly showed the dangerous and flammable hero Robert Pattinson is playing.
