WATCH: The Incredible First Clip From 'The Batman' Has Been Released

Warner Bros.


  • The first extended clip from Matt Reeves’ The Batman has been released.
  • The clip features the people of Gotham City being terrorized by Paul Dano’s Riddler while at a funeral.
  • The Batman will hit theaters in the United States on Friday, March 4.

With just over a month until The Batman FINALLY hits theaters in the United States, the first extended clip from the film has hit the internet.

The clip features Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne and Jeffrey Wright’s Commissioner James Gordon attending a massive funeral for what appears to be a public figure in Gotham, who was perhaps a victim of the Riddler.

While he doesn’t quite have a Spidey Sense, Bruce Wayne is always in Batman mode and senses incoming danger sooner than most of the people in the room. That danger bears itself out in the form of a runaway SUV being driven into the building by Peter Sarsgaard’s Gotham District Attorney Gil Colson, who finds himself in the clutches of one of the Riddler’s sick games with a bomb attached to his neck.

Perhaps most importantly, the clip — as the trailers have done so far — seems to imply that Riddler knows Batman’s true identity as Bruce Wayne.

The Batman — which stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman, Colin Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin, Paul Dano as Edward Nashton/Riddler, John Turturro as Carmine Falcone, Jeffrey Wright as Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon, Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth, and Peter Sarsgaard as Gotham District Attorney Gil Colson — is currently scheduled to hit theaters in the United States on March 4, 2022.
