Release Date, Cast, Trailer and More – Celebsgraphy

The long-awaited DC movie that had everyone waiting is finally on its final stages of production, following a long halt because of the COVID 19 pandemic. The Batman, a standalone movie based on DC Universe‘s Batman, packs a unique story focused on Bruce Wayne and his endeavors in Gotham city.

A DECADE OF WAIT

Played by Robert Pattinson, the movie has already struck a buzz amongst the franchise fans, and we all are excited to see this new iteration of the caped crusader, delivering justice and restoring peace across Gotham.

Not counting Batman v Superman, which didn’t actually focus only on Batman himself, this is the first standalone Batman movie in a decade, with The Dark Knight and the sequel The Dark Knight Rises coming back in 2008 and 2012, respectively. Played by Christian Bale, it is considered one of the best portrayals of Batman ever and the iconic Joker played by Australian actor Heath Ledger is something that is simply not going to repeat itself. Unfortunately, Ledger passed away before the movie’s release but was posthumously awarded the Oscard Awards and the Golden Globe Award for his acting. 

THE BATMAN MOVIE CAST

Director Matt Reeves initially had two people in his mind for the cast, Robert Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult, who did have previous superhero experience as Beast in X-Men. But after much debate on social media, Pattinson was eventually cast as Batman a few weeks later, making it his first superhero movie. However, the ‘Twilight’ star did play a vampire in the franchise, which was a great success. 

It was reported in the Deadline in 2019 that Pattinson would be joined by Jeffrey Wright, who is playing Commissioner Gordon. As Catwoman, often seen as Batman’s romantic interest and an anti-hero, in the DC comics, is Zoe Kravitz. And the cast for the central antagonist role of The Riddler is Paul Dano. 

Jumping abroad the Batman train, Paul Dano, who will be playing The Riddler, is set to redefine the character in itself. Initially offered to comedian Jonah Hill, the role of The Riddler was previously played by actor Jim Carey. However, Jonah Hill could not agree with the WB Production Studios; thus, the role eventually landed on Paul Dano’s lap.    

As The Penguin, we have Andy Serkis, who was recently confirmed as the role’s artist by director Matt Reeves. While previously there had been rumors about Colin Farrell and Andy Serkis both vying for the role, we really can’t believe that we will be seeing Andy Serkis known for the franchise ‘Planet of the Apes‘ and ‘The Lord of The Rings‘ under all that makeup as The Penguin.
