The batman
The most publicized DC movie of 2022 is without a doubt that of Matt Reeves The batman, which is set in its own continuity outside of the main DC Extended Universe. Robert Pattinson goes from vampire to bat as he takes the hood off a younger, angrier Bruce Wayne, still establishing himself as the hero we know and love. Paul Dano’s Riddler should be an intimidating opponent, while Zoe Kravitz’s Catwoman seems to bring a sly and romantic tension.
