‘The Batman’ unleashes a villainous new trailer with 100% more Catwoman

It’s been just over a year since we last saw The Batman, at Warner Bros. 2020 edition of DC FanDome. Now it’s time for a new FanDome and a new trailer, and honestly, not a lot has changed.

It’s still a dark and moody two-and-a-half minutes set to an appropriately dark and moody remix of Nirvana’s classic Nevermind cut, “Something in the Way She Moves.” And it’s still largely focused on showing us how star Robert Pattinson brings this rough-and-tumble take on the DC Comics crimefighter to life.

So what’s the 2021 difference? More villains. You won’t actually see Paul Dano’s face here, but you’ll get a clearer sense of how his menacing Riddler factors into the story (especially if you watch both trailers back-to-back). You also probably won’t recognize Colin Farrell — he really transformed for this role! — but that’s him playing Penguin. We see more of him here, as well.

The biggest beneficiary of the new trailer is Zoë Kravitz. We don’t see her full Catwoman get-up in action, but there’s plenty of Selina Kyle kicking butt, looking mischievous, and trying to seduce the Bat. The most important thing this trailer does, however, is put all the major pieces in place ahead of the sooner-than-you-think release.

How soon? The Batman arrives in theaters on March 4, 2022.
