Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Batman is a 2021 superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name, and the ninth live-action Batman film. It is directed by Matt Reeves and co-written by Reeves and Mattson Tomlin, with Michael Giacchino composing the score. Like Joker, the film is not set in the concurrent DC Extended Universe, but in its own Alternate Continuity.Its story follows Bruce Wayne / The Batman during the second year of his career as the Dark Knight, as he tracks a Serial Killer leaving cryptic riddles addressed "To the Batman" on his victims. Along the way, he crosses paths with street gangs, Dirty Cops, Organized Crime, and a Classy Cat-Burglar named Selina Kyle. The film draws inspiration from multiple previous Batman works, including Zero Year, The Long Halloween and Batman: Ego.The Batman's All-Star Cast includes Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne / The Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle / Catwoman, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton / The Riddler, Jeffrey Wright as James Gordon, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, and Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot / The Penguin, as well as Peter Sarsgaard and Jayme Lawson as characters original to the film (the former being the Gotham District Attorney).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film is due to release on October 1, 2021. Prior to its release, it was announced that a Spin-Off television series was in development at HBO Max, written by Terence Winters. Entitled Gotham PD, the series explores the first year of Batman's war on crime from the perspective of the corrupt Gotham City Police Department. Reeves and Clark will serve as executive producers of the series.Not to be confused with the 1940s serial The Batman and the animated series of the same name.Previews: Camera Test, DC FanDome Teaser. | |

Beta Outfit: In the FanDome teaser, Selina Kyle's not yet Catwoman burglar outfit still has some slight folds at the top of her ski mask that resemble cat ears. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| The Batman (2021) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: While rarely noble, most adaptations of the Riddler place emphasis on the Insufferable Genius and Complexity Addiction aspects of his character rather than the criminal, and even the more malicious versions of the character usually prefer not to get his hands dirty. In the FanDome teaser, this version is an outright Serial Killer who has a civilian Strapped to a Bomb crash his car into a funeral, and sends taunting riddles to Batman a la the Zodiac killer. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| The Batman (2021) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: In the FanDome teaser, Riddler being treated as a serial killer borrows from Tom King's DC Rebirth Batman run. In the FanDome teaser, Batman's response to "The hell are you supposed to be?" is "I'm vengeance." The FanDome teaser also shows an unmasked Bruce wearing black eyeshade, referencing the previously non-diegetic makeup in previous live-action Batman films used to blend his skin into the mask, which would just disappear once he unmasked. In the FanDome teaser, Bruce is shown out of costume during daylight, but doing Batman stuff on a motorcycle, hiding his face with a helmet and scarf (and wearing eyeshade), akin to Batman: Year One where he made a point of never wearing the Batsuit except at night. The setting of the film being Batman's second year of crimefighting, along with him toeing the line between hero and villain and even the cops being afraid of him are straight out of Batman: Arkham Origins. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| The Batman (2021) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: During the DC FanDome virtual convention, it was officially announced the film is set in its own continuity, separate from the contemporary DC Extended Universe films featuring Ben Affleck's Batman. Similarly, the FanDome teaser has Jim Gordon played by the African-American Jeffrey Wright, instead of the Caucasian J. K. Simmons who played him in Justice League, and other incompatible differences. | |

Adaptational Ugliness | |
| The Batman (2021) / int_4f247a69 | comment |
Adaptational Ugliness: In the FanDome teaser, Bruce Wayne is far more gaunt and unkempt-looking when out of costume than the dashingly charming Christian Bale version or the lantern-jawed Ben Affleck portrayal. Pattinson's Bruce Wayne is noticeably more haggard, pale and sallow, with lank hair and visibly Exhausted Eye Bags. | |
