AceShowbiz - Director Matt Reeves gave Batman fans a real treat at the end of Saturday's (22Aug20) DC FanDome virtual event by offering up his latest film's first trailer.
Devotees who stuck around to watch all seven hours of the online celebration of all things DC Comics caught sneak peeks and new trailers of upcoming attractions as well as cast panels and insider information.
The event kicked off with a "Wonder Woman 1984" panel, featuring director Patty Jenkins and her cast, and a new teaser, and ended with Reeves answering fans questions about "The Batman".
As his session ended, he revealed he had only completed "25 to 30 per cent" of the film before the coronavirus crisis shut down production, but he still brought something to offer fans.
The footage featured Robert Pattinson as the new Caped Crusader, Zoe Kravitz as a pre-Catwoman Selina Kyle and Jeffrey Wright, the latest actor to take on the role of Gotham City police boss Jim Gordon.
There were also images of the new Batmobile and fans got the chance to hear Brit Pattinson's best Batman voice as he told one group of bad guys, "I'm vengeance," as they asked for his identity.
One fan asked Reeves why he chose the "Twilight" star as his Batman, prompting the filmmaker to say, "He has the soul of someone who can play Batman," while revealing that, like him, the Brit is a big fan of the comic book crimefighter.
"The Batman" has resumed production in the U.K. and will hit cinemas in 2021.
