Matt Reeves’ <\/strong>panel for the upcoming The Batman<\/em><\/strong> film rightfully closed out DC FanDome<\/a><\/strong> with a jaw-dropping teaser that will leave you craving much, much more. We had barely seen anything about the film except a few stills and stunt videos . . . until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reeves joined host Aisha Tyler <\/strong>to discuss his new take on The Dark Knight<\/strong> and how it differs from previous (and ongoing) iterations. The two went back and forth with various questions from Tyler herself as well as a host of questions from fans around the world, who were giddy to get even the littlest nibble of some new info on The Batman<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversation started with Reeves giving us a very good idea of what to expect from him in terms of Gotham<\/strong>‘s look and feel. He goes on to talk about what excited him the most about the project and how he was able to relate to the character:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He isn’t a hero in the traditional sense. He might have a cape, but he can’t fly. He’s like you and me, but if he has a superpower, it’s the ability to endure.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The origin story we have seen a dozen times in live-action will be touched upon said Reeves, mentioning that Batman is only in his second year of being the caped crusader and still has a lot to learn. This means that many of the classic villains we know and love like the Penguin<\/strong>, Riddler,<\/strong> and Catwoman<\/strong> (played by Zoe Kravitz<\/strong>) are all just starting out and becoming their own characters. Reeves spoke very highly of actor Paul Dano<\/strong>, claiming he “plays a version of the Riddler no one has ever seen before.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
