The Batman is directed by Matt Reeves from a screenplay he co-wrote with Peter Craig. It will be led by Robert Pattinson as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Paul Dano as Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as GCPD’s James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham D.A. Gil Colson, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Colin Ferrell as Oswald Cobblepot/ Penguin. It will also feature Barry Keoghan, Jayme Lawson, Alex Ferns, and twins Max and Charlie Carver.

During last year’s DC FanDome, Reeves confirmed that the movie will focus on Bruce Wayne’s second year as Batman, and, per Walter Hamada, that the film is set in a different universe separate from the Justice League DCEU characters. Reeves also previously teased that they will be telling a detective story that follows a series of murders that open up the history of corruption in Gotham and how Bruce’s family is linked.
