Intense First Clip Released for THE BATMAN

The first clip from Matt Reeves’ The Batman has been released online, and it features an incredibly intense scene in which Robert Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne doesn’t say a word. There are a lot of things going on and he’s just observing the situation and seems to be trying to piece things together in his head as the events play out.

This is actually a fantastic scene that offers us a great look at the type of vibe and tone that Reeves and his creative team created for this particular Batman story. I like it!

In the clip, Wayne is attending the funeral of a law enforcement or city official. He overhears a conversation that Detective Gordon (Jeffrey Wright) is having with another officer about the disappearance of another member of the department when all of a sudden that missing person is forced to drive through the church during the funeral with a message for Batman.

When recently talking about the film in an interview with MovieMaker, Reeves shared, "I wanted to do a story in which the corruption of Gotham was one of the most important aspects of the story, because Gotham is a sick place. Bruce is desperate to try and make a change.”

When talking about the character Batman, he said, "He's still stuck, to be honest, emotionally stunted at being 10 years old, because that's a trauma you don't get past—witnessing your parents murder in this place. He's looking to create meaning, right? This is the only meaning he can find. … I think he imagines that if he can do this, somehow he can reverse what's happened, which will never be reversed. This is a very human impulse, right? To try and relive something and remake it."

Check out the clip below! The Batman will hit theaters on March 4th.
