A new trailer for the highly anticipated movie The Batman was released during the NBA All-Star Game. The trailer played during a commercial break with broadcaster Kevin Harlan introducing the new clip. The trailer originally showed the outside of the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland with everything proceeding normally.
While releasing the trailer, the well-known sports anchor cut off his statement as the screen began to flash and read ‘unmask the truth.’ “Well, the fun is just getting started on a chilly February night here.” ‘Woah, you guys getting this in the truck?’ Harlan asked. ‘Something’s happening outside.’
The trailer begins to play, and a superimposed bat signal on the video appears. ‘Hold up, is that the bat signal?’ he asks. ‘I think the Batman is on the roof. Man, I can’t believe what I’m seeing.’ The trailer then began in earnest, taking up the entirety of the screen. The clip shows quite a few action sequences before cutting to Zoë Kravitz’s Catwoman, Colin Farrell’s Penguin and other character’s all saying the word ‘vengeance.’
Andy Serkis, who plays Bruce Wayne’s trusted butler Alfred, then says, ‘You’re becoming quite the celebrity,’ to Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne, making him snicker. Fans then get a close-up look of Farrell as Oswald Cobblepot. He stands, looking down at someone, and says, ‘Boy you’re everything they say, ain’t you?’ Batman then levitates upward using a grappling hook before the clip cuts to Catwoman asking him, ‘Don’t you ever just say hello?’
The trailer shows quite a few of the same clips as previous iterations did including the Batmobile flying through a huge fireball while chasing the Penguin’s car and other shots of Batman generally beating up on Gotham’s criminal underworld. Near the end of the clip, Catwoman asks the Caped Crusader who he is underneath the mask and if he’s all scarred up to which the legendary superhero replies ‘Yes.’ The Batman, directed by Cloverfield director Matt Reeves, is set for a theatrical release on March 4.
