The first-ever-video of 'Batman' featuring Robert Pattinson as the superhero, Bruce Wayne, has been unveiled. This time, he has a villain who kills and leaves riddles (like Riddler). He also has a peculiar form of killing people - by taping their faces. For the uninformed, Scarecrow had bandaged his face, and thus, it looks like the new villain is inspired by the two important characters from the past.
Matt Reeves has ensured that the new Batman trailer shows Robert Pattinson as the unusual Bruce Wayne. This time Batman goes out in the public and hides his face, but not with the mask. While we all know that Alfred had left the Wayne mansion previously, there is a voice that talks to Bruce by the end of the clip, leaving many mysteries yet to be unfolded.

Robert Pattinson is heard stating, "I am vengeance," which probably hints that he has found the people who killed his parents and is out to get equal with them. The trailer sees at Paulo Dano (Riddler), 'Catwoman' Zoe Kravitz and Penguin in the form of an unrecognizable Colin Farrell.

Reeves had also mentioned, “Without being an origin story for him, it’s something that touches upon his origins,” while talking about Robert as the new 'Batman'. Also starring John Turturro, Peter Sarsgaard, Jayme Lawson and Andy Serkis, the yet-untitled film is slated for an October 2021 release.
While Robert Pattinson plays Batman in his titular movie, Ben Affleck returns as Batman in 'Justice League' The Snyder Cut, and a glimpse in 'The Flash'. Before Robert and Ben (well remembered as 'Batman'), Christian Bale and Michael Keaton had pulled off the role of Batman and won various acclaims.
