The Batman is set to include an ensemble cast from Robert Pattinson (Bruce Wayne/Batman) to Zoe Kravitz (Selina Kyle/Catwoman), Jeffrey Wright (Jim Gordon), and Paul Dano (The Riddler).
In previous interviews, Reeves has stated the film will be a noir-driven tale focusing on Wayne’s earliest days as the world’s greatest detective.
“It’s very much a point of view-driven, noir Batman tale,”
“It’s told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it’s going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional. It’s more Batman in his detective mode than we’ve seen in the films. The comics have a history of that.”
