The Tweet captioned, “#DayOne cc:@GreigfraserD,” featured a mention of the film’s producer, Greig Fraser, and caused quite a stir on Twitter as various heavy-hitters within the film industry commented on the photo wishing Reeves and his team luck. 

While plot details for The Batman have been few and far between, it has been verified that the timelines from previous Batman films will not be acknowledged in the upcoming franchise reboot.

While the storyline remains a mystery at the moment, the cast starring Colin Farrell as The Penguin, Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, Paul Dano as The Riddler, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, does provide fans with insight on how impactful this film can be for the DC Universe. 

Warner Bros has proposed a June 25, 2021 premiere date for The Batman. 

With the production company also preparing for the release of the Harley Quinn spin-off, , the studio house is attempting to establish themselves as a ble competitor as Marvel this decade. However, with Robert Pattinson’s extensive body of work as evidence of his ability, do you believe the 33-year-old actor has the range to embody the persona of Batman?
