Cinemacon has been a blast this 2021. At first, we got to see 9-minute footage of No Time to Die, and now we have Warner Bros. revealing brand new footage of Andy Serkis as Alfred. Together with Robert Pattinson’s Batman, they were all set to take on Catwoman.

The new footage shows the city of Gotham in complete chaos. Thereby we see our caped crusader, awashed in red light, fighting several goons. There are scenes of Gotham City Police, explosions and mayhem. There is also footage of the beloved Batmobile racing into action and footage of Pattinson removing his cowl.

"For some reason, Batman has always stood to as one of the major characters of the 20th century. We see him in the cowl, removing it. He says it is 'radically different' from other Batman movies," Pattinson reportedly said about the movie. 

Director Matt Reeves goes on to add that 'we haven’t seen anything grounding it (Batman) the way Year One does'.  "It’s not an origin story, but it is Batman in his early days. Footage shows Batman beating up goons, set in red light. Explosions, police officers, and dark chaos. 'He’s really working out this rage," Pattinson revealed more about his character.  "All the fights seem very personal. He uses various weapons to beat down enemies. A shot shows Andy Serkis as Alfred. The Batmobile drives, with flames coming from its exhaust. 'We can’t wait for you to see The Batman in theaters, next year," Reeves further added.

"It's just as important as any of the Rogues Gallery. It's sort of like the nature of what this place is, and the history of it is critically important to our story and one of the things that I really wanted to do because it is the center of the story - especially the history of corruption in the city. [That] was I wanted to present it in a way that was really fleshed out, I wanted it to feel like an American city you'd never been to. I mean other iterations... the Burton one had very, very, theatrical, beautiful sets - and Nolan had the version that he created in Batman Begins and that was... parts of Chicago and parts of Pittsburgh. And what we're trying to do is create a version of it that you haven't seen before," Reeves reportedly said during DC FanDome.

Warner Bros have though not released the footage for view of the general public yet. Fans are of the opinion that the featurette must be released soon to avoid the lack of interest of fans from the movie.

The movie is scheduled for release on March 4, 2022, after several pandemic related delays.
