Batman: The Bat and The Cat

Post created on 5:05 pm

From Warner Bros. Pictures comes Matt Reeves’ “The Batman,” starring Robert Pattinson in the dual role of Gotham City’s vigilante detective and his alter ego, reclusive billionaire Bruce Wayne.

Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz team up in their search for justice in the new trailer for The Batman, featuring the bat and the cat, respectively.

“If we don’t stand up, no one will,” Kravitz’s Selina Kyle/Catwoman tells Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne/Batman in the trailer.

She adds, “The Bat and the Cat, it’s got a nice ring.”

The pair will team up against the villainous Riddler (Paul Dano), a serial killer who is obsessed with the Wayne family. But trust will have to grow between Batman and Catwoman in order to rid Gotham City of one of its most evil inhabitants.

And what will the Batman unravel in his quest for answers?

“I’m just here to unmask the truth about this cesspool we call a city,” the Riddler says to Wayne. “You’re part of this, too.”

Wayne responds, “How am I a part of this?”

The Riddler adds,” Oh, you’re really not as smart as I thought you were…Bruce Wayne.”

The scenes tease that Wayne’s butler Alfred (Andy Serkis) has something to do with the revelation, as the former accuses the latter of lying. To what extent it is yet unknown. The lie could simply refer to lies meant to protect the family’s legacy, or maybe the butler could be hiding something more sinister?

The film is set to open in theaters on March 4.
