The first full trailer of The Batman, directed by Matt Reeves of The Planet of the Apes franchise, starring Robert Pattinson (most recently seen in Christopher Nolan's Tenet) as Gotham's 'caped crusader', was released at a DC Fandome virtual event on Saturday night.

The film, it is speculated, pits Batman against the Riddler, played by Paul Dano (12 Years A Slave), but the trailer, although it begins with his arrest by the Gotham City police, is centred around the characters of Catwoman, played by Zoe Kravitz (Big Little Lies) and an unrecognisable Colin Farrell, transformed by prosthetics to become Oswald Cobblespot a.k.a. Penguin, earlier most memorably essayed by Danny DeVito.
