As in previous movie iterations of the comic book, Gotham City is teeming with shady characters and criminals, even as the Riddler leaves a trail of victims and crimes addressed “to the Batman.”

The teaser also introduces Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman), and Andy Serkis as Alfred. According to The Verge, Director Matt Reeves had earlier said that the characters, although familiar to generations of viewers, aren’t quite their iconic characters just yet. In the film, villains like The Riddler and The Penguin are still in the early stages of their criminal careers; Selina Kyle hasn’t fully become Catwoman just yet.

Reeves’ The Batman was slated for a June 2021 release but has since been pushed to October 1, 2021 following production delays because of the coronavirus pandemic. – Rappler.com
