Jayme Lawson It was Bella Reál, a candidate for mayor.

Reeves is directing the film from a script written by him and Peter Craig, based on DC characters. Bruce Wayne has been watching the streets of Gotham City for two years as Batman (Pattinson) trying to stand up to criminals. Facing corruption in the city, this lone vigilante and vigilante has few trusted allies, Alfred Pennyworth (Serkis), Lieutenant James Gordon (Wright).

When an assassin targets Gotham’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues leads the World’s Best Detective on an underworld investigation, where he crosses paths with the likes of Selina Kyle/aka Catwoman (Kravitz), Oswald Cobblepot/aka The Penguin (Farrell), Carmine Falcone (John Turturro) and Edward Nashton/aka The Riddler (Dano). As the evidence draws closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clearer, Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that have long ravaged Gotham City. .

The film differed from the previous ones in the duality between Bruce Wayne and Batman. As Pattinson explained for FOTOGRAMAS, this protagonist “he sees himself as Batman, that’s his true identity. He has devoted his life so much to this crusade after the murder of his parents that, if it were up to him, he would spend his days in the suit and working as Batman. The few times that he needs Wayne’s personality… That’s when he really feels like he’s wearing a costume, and that’s how I decided to play him. He is only really free and really himself when he is Batman“.

Beyond the character based on DC, Reeves chose to carry the argument through the thriller in which the protagonist unmasked all the corruption in which Gotham was immersed. Of course, the end predicted a possible second part, given the character we saw – rather, we heard – in Arkham prison. Surely it won’t take long to escape from that cell… But that’s another story.

For now, now it’s time to enjoy ‘The Batman’, available on HBO Max.
